Is it possible to include a user defined tag or global content block in the content of the news module?

When I place a new news article I sometimes want to include content from one of my user defined tags, but if I place the the content is prints out the actual tag EX: {my_tag_name}.  Is there a way to fix this?

User defined tags are more for php type stuff, if you want to include some content type stuff use a GCB...

heffer86,

I have the same problem.  For some strange reason, CMSMS doesn't seem to execute user-defined tags (UDT) inside the content of a news post.

This is really irritating because I went through the trouble of creating a UDT that uses Lightbox to display images.  A UDT would work perfectly, and mine does on pages, but it doesn't work in news posts, which was my purpose in creating it.

I hope someone out there knows of a fix???  Thanks!

You can use lightbox w/o having to do UDT, give image link tag rel="lightbox" and add the JS to and CSS to template...

Easier, install Lightbox module...
