CMS Made Simple Forums

:)New to the fold, did a couple of searches but not coming up with what I need.

Is there a method to identify the template that the default "news" is using? Under Content>>News, there are multiple templates with samples of each, but is any of these being used?

Thank you very much for any help.

Hello rutherfordms.
Welcome to the forum

The used news template is assinged to the news module when it is called in your page template using certain parameters.
I'm sure it would be a big help to you if you first read the demo content and the module help. (Extensions->Modules there is a "help-link" for each module)
And maybe just take a look in the default templates how the news module is called and what params are used. (just search for '{news' or '{cms_module module="news"' you will see what i mean )
I believe it will make many things clear to you.

If you then still have questions just ask.

Have fun with CMSms

If you call News with the summary parameter, it will use the default Summary template.  If you click on a summary item to view detail, it will use the default Detail template, etc.
