Need help with news display

When I look at my website on the net, my news data wont show on my template news block when using a user defined tag as the page content. It shows up on any other pages where I just use HTML in the page content. Any ideas why this is happening?

More info please...

what is in the UDT and why not use Global Content Block?
Do you have a link to the page?

Ver 1.0.2

My UDT is this:
{cms_module module="news" summarytemplate="title.tpl"}

I tried useing a Global Content Block and here is the Error I get:

string(59) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "globalcontent:News""

The Global Content Block for my Calendar works though.

The news block works ok on pages where I am not using UDT as the page content.
Any ideas why I am getting this error for my news block on my template when I try to used the UDT code above for the content of a page?

string(59) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "globalcontent:News""

I hope this is enough information. Let me know if it is not.

I found if I take this line of code out of my UDT that the news block will work but then database I am trying to select for data won't work.

Code: Select all

mysql_select_db($dbname);


Any idea how to get around this?

Everything works good if I put my table from my data database to the cms database. I don't want to do this though. Is there a way to access another database witout it messing up the rest of the cms database info for the rest of the template?
