News Module Genius test your wits here!!! (solved)

[buntrosgali]

Are you up for a challenge?

ok heres the situation.

This is my test site here the test site


On the main page you will see an news image rotator. That news image rotator is nested in a div called "div id="rotator"

this news rotator is powered by the news module.

Now.. read carefully to understand the problem.


What should happen is when ever you click the more button on either of the news articles, it should take you to a page showing that full news article.

However! click on the more button.............. page hasnt changed right?....... well not quite look at the url, it has gone to the page where you should be able to view the article, but its not being shown for some reason.


If you now click on the only other page on the site called "testpage" you will see it takes you to a new page with only one main div on that page known as "div main content" now this page is linked to a different template which is calling on div main content, and not the other divs which you saw on the main page.

Do you understand up to this point?


ok my question is, how can i fix this so that when ever you click to read one of the news categories it takes you to a page which looks exactly like "testpage" and shows you the news article in full????



Hope this is clear what the problem is.

feel free to ask questions.

Site is designed with 2 templates & 1 stylesheet. Index page is the only page linked to template 1, with the rest of the pages template2.

Create a new page called "News", using the same template that you use for testpage, with an alias of "news" and only put the {news} tag in the content area. You should also deselect the "Cachable" and "Show in Menu" options for this page.

Now, to your news tag on the main page add:

  detailpage="news"

to the tag.

Now when you click on the "More" link, it will take you to the "News" age.
