I have my list and detail showing on the same page which works fine but I need to do an archive list that appears on a second page, how can I do it so that the detail page for the archive list page is different, when I set it up the detail page linked back to the page with the curretn articles on. Thank you in advance.

Hi there
What you'll need to do is set a flag or a checkbox of some kind in your section to identify records as being archived or not. Then change the detail page to check and see if the current record is marked as archived, and load whatever different formatting you need.
This may be a little unwieldy but it's the simplest way of doing it.
Does this make sense?

Hi, I have got two check boxes, one for current and one for archive.
I have sorted out how the current records display and how the archive records display and I have put the archive page in a folder so the detail page can actually be the same one.
But my problem now is that because the list and detail records are on the same page as a Combo Page, the detail record for the first entry in the multi record list displays instead of the first archvie record displaying, so basically I need to tell the detail record to only show if it's been ticked as being an archive record. The URL's to see what is going on are:

I hope you can help.

I'm not sure I understand the issue here. You added two checkboxes instead of one?
Ideally you should be able to choose what appears in each file simply by adding an extra where parameter to the getRecords function:
'where' => 'archived = 1',
or
'where' => 'archived = 0',
depending on whether you want to show archived records or current records.
