News Summary

[Mobile09]

Hi all,
I currently have an issue displaying the News Summary on my pages.
Everytime i click a news article from the summary, it displays the news within the page for example:

I'm in a page called 'Community'
I click the summary link for the news article
It gets displayed in Community page not the News page.

Hope this explains my problem.

My summary template is:

{foreach from=$items item=entry}
moreurl}" title="{$entry->title|cms_escape:htmlall}">{$entry->title|cms_escape}{$entry->postdate|cms_date_format}
{eval var=$entry->summary}
{/foreach}

Any help would be appreciated.

Just read the help of the News module:

Code: Select all

Prarameters
(optional) detailpage="pagealias"

So in your template or page you put something like

Code: Select all

{news detailpage="my-news-page"}

On your content page just do:

{news detailpage="News"}

Replacing "News" with the name of the page you'd like the news summary link to take you to. Make sure your detailpage has a {news} tag on it.

Just use the detail page parameter wherever you use the news tag, and the page it goes to doesn't have to have anything in it...

True, but it is neat to have a proper News section (even if stuff is also dumped out to the homepage).
