CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

I am trying to have the news module display only the detailed text in a page, and then, the summary on the left (in the summary box).

I haven't been able to do this. I can change the code around so the detailed news is displayed in both the summary AND the page, but I don't want to do that.

Here is what I have done:

In the page, which I have entitled "News", I put the following in the "Content" section:
{news category="General" number="1" detailpage="News"}

This works great, but only displays the Summary with a "More" button.

Any ideas on how to do what I want? I basically need to tell the News Module to display the "Detailed" section instead of the "Summary" section. I haven't been able to find out exactly where this decision takes place.

I am running CMSMS version 1.7.1 "Escada"

Thanks.

Okie!

You can try add "detailtemplate" to display news in "detail view".

In News module, Tab "Detail Template" you can create a template for detail view, ex: create "MyDetail".

then you can call it in tag, with your case, add:

{news category="General" number="1" detailpage="News" detailtemplate="MyDetail"}

With this tag, you can display 1 news (lastest item) in news category named "General", when click, news item will display in page named "News" with template detail is "MyDetail".

Hope this help!
