I am sure this had been asked before however I am new to php and to CMSB and I am probably not wording this correctly. I have managed to create news pages on my site http://www.anfgroup.com/news/news.php however what I am trying to achieve is when someone clicks on my news button they get sent to a page that list all of my news articles and can select the one they want instead of going to a page that has the full content of the article and a previous and next button below. I am sure this is something very easy but I just cannot figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or at least point me to a thread that has already answered this.

Hi,

If you go to the code generator, you can select the "list page" option. This will produce a list of news articles instead of just one article at a time.

If this isn't working for you, please attach news.php to this thread and I can take a closer look at what's going on for you.

Hope this helps.

Jason,



Thanks a bunch. I was able to get it working. There is one more questions though. How do I change this: [url "/news/newsDetail.php?Eleventh-Annual-Student-Life-Achievement-Awards-5"]/news/newsDetail.php?Eleventh-Annual-Student-Life-Achievement-Awards-5[/#0066cc][/url]
to say Read More ? I can tell this is the code: <a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['_link'] ?></a><br/> and I tried changing the ['_link'] to read like this ['Read More'] but that didn't work. I know this is probably a dumb fix but like I said before I am a php Noob!
