CMS Made Simple Forums

hi,
I created a div named categories to show News Categories in the page as sidebar and put this code in it

{news action='browsecat' browsecattemplate='sample'}

but I can't get News Categories into the categories div ...it doesnt go there it goes all the page up right side

I couldn't find a way to put only categories into where I want
like this web page http://www.marble-institute.com/blog/
to right side

thank you for your help

Hi,

Sorry, I have tried to understand, but don't. You need to be more specific.

Which CMSMS version?
What news module?

I created a div named categories

Where / How? In the page template?

..it doesnt go there it goes all the page up right side

meaning?
Please be specific. I looked at the page but to not see a news summary. What is the name / title of it?

hi,


I am using Monsoon CMS 1.9.1. and News module 2.11 ..
I created a two column layout News page [ like div id=main content t the left and div id=newscategories at the right ] and I am trying to put Browse Categories Template Content into right column of the page ..
I put this code
<div id=newscategories>{news action='browsecat' browsecattemplate='sample'}</div> into the page ..all categories I created from the news module displayed at up right corner of the page , not displayed inside of the newscategories div..

hoping this time I explained problem better
thanks alot for your help

I can't find any <div id="newscategories"> in the page you linked

you better upgrade your cmsms as soon as possible as your version is no longer supported an aas a safetyproblem with the Newsmodule.

Your HTML doesn't validate...

</br> should be <br /> all br need a space then /

<br class="clear"> no /

A </span> with no <span>

Extra </p>

At the bottom...

<__body>
</div>
</__html>

Not supposed to have anything between...

<__body>
</__html>

Fix these and it may just work...

after your post I checked out css and html codes and finally
figure out that css properties of the categories ul list is wrong

thanks a lot
