CMS Made Simple Forums

I am trying to set up a "list" and "detail" system for a module I'm writing, and I'm not sure how to handle this.

I have a list of projects, and for each project, there should be a link to a details page for that project.

The project list has code to generate a link:

$list[$i]['imgallery'] = $this->CreateLink($id, 'details', $returnid, "Details", array('project_id'=> $row['id']));

I insert the resulting link into the template file, and it shows up, but when you click the link, it keeps loading the "listing" view.  The page that launches this view has the following tag:

{cms_module module="Project"}

We need more info about your module.
How does the url of the details link look like?
Is there an "action.details.php" in your module that performs the details view?
Is there a {content} tag in your template?

Do you want to replace the content with the details view or the module output?
Take a look at the API doc of the function CreateLink().
There is a param "inline" to specify this.
