News Module - Detail view on a different page template?

Hello every one

Is there a way to have the details view be displayed on a different page template? (not a news details template)
currently I have the summary view displaying 2 columns one for the posts and the other for the categories. But in detail View i just want to show the post and not the column on the right with the categories.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks
KZ

Create new page ("Newss") with your template.

{cms_module module="news" detailpage="Newss"}

I had tried something like this but didn't work: {news number='9' detailpage="Newss"}

I will try it your way {cms_module module="news" detailpage="Newss"}

thanks!

I created a new page called "Details" and has the same alias, then on the news section I added {cms_module module="news" detailpage="Details"} but nothing is happening. Am I doing something wrong?

kalozura,

be aware that the page you are pointing at, is the pagealias of a page. Normally these pages dont have Capitals, so a page created called "Details", will have an default alias called "details", this is visible on the options-tab of the created page.

In your case, I would create a page called "Details", with the alias "details" and "show in menu" unchecked. Attach that page to the template you want. When calling News, with the detailpage-parameter, the details will open in that page, holding that template.
