news: making summary data a link to main article page
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2006 11:25 pm
I'm currently using the news module to do beer reviews on my website. I enter data in the news module as:
Title = Brew Review #1, Brew Review #2, etc
Summary = name of beer
One of my pages has a simple table with two columns. The first column shows the news summaries sorted by titles (Review Number), and the second column shows the news summaries sorted by Summary Data (Beer Name). I have the sorting working, and I have also created and edited a custom summary template so that the first column displays the title (ie, review number) first, and the second column displays the summary data (ie, the beer name) first...but I would like the second column's template to have the beer name/summary data as the link to the main news content page. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Only the Title and morelink will display as a link no matter where I move them around.
Can someone point me in the right direction here? Do I need to add a custom tag to the website or something like that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricky
