Configuring News Section

[Abby]

Hi all,

Is there a way to configure the news section so that the date/author is displayed under the title?

Additionally, is there a way to have the news feed from the home page only display a excerpt of the article? Then when you click the title it will display the full news post? Sort of like a typical blog setting where you can "read more" after the cut.

Thanks,

Abby

You can edit template/default/news.tpl.

For this you have to hack the file feed/news/rss.php at line 90.

Yes, I've edited my news.tpl file, but I meant moving the date below the title on the main page as well.

To clarify, I do not want to edit my RSS feed, only the "feed" that's displayed on the front page. So on the front page is says "My FAQ News" with the RSS icon followed by a few headlines that link to the full news article. What I want is the content below the title links (on the main page only) to be excerpts. I've edited news.php but that edits them on the individual news pages and not the front page.

Which file can I add my substring function to? I'm assuming the same file is where I'd move the date as well.

Great software by the way. Just what I was looking for!

Thanks again,

Abby
