News Headlines

Hi rneube,

You can easily remove extra fields you don't want to display on your newsList.php page. Just open that file up in a text editor and strip out the lines which reference fields you don't want. They're included in the default page because it's a lot easier to remove them than to remember the exact code to add them just in case you want to display one or more of them.

Is it possible to just list a couple of lines and a link to "read more"? It would be useful if the editor could determine how much of the new to show on the List page too.

If you want it to be up to the editor, the simplest solution would be to add a new field called "summary" and display that on the list page.

Alternately, you can [url http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=74241#74241]automatically trim your content field to a certain number of characters[/url], but that only works properly if you aren't putting markup in your content.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
