Hey!

Is it possible to embed only the headlines on eg. your website frontpage so it would auto update latest headlines to this site, instead of only displaying it on the news site?

All you need to do is create a new template that displays only the headline and not the story, then use that template when displaying your news on the front page.

Hey.

It dosn't seem to work - when i include:

<?php
$template 'test';
include 'news/index.php';
?>

It dosn't work - the page isn't loading, and only a white page with nothing on it is displayed in the browser, but if i insert

<?php
include 'news/index.php';
?>

it displays all news like it normally would - what seems to be the problem ?

I forgot to add a = symbol in my previous post, it should look like this

Thanks - it worked! However, Is it possible to show more headlins with one template than another? I would like to have eg. 8 "Latest news headlines" on the front page, but on the actual news page i would like for only 4 news to appear.

Furthermore, if i get the headlines from one my frontpage to link to my actual news page:

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt"><a href="http://www.mydomain.com/my-news.php">{title}</a>

the links are underlined - is it possible to make them "not underlined" ?

I look forward to hear from you mate :)

You can specify the amount of news you want to show with each include like so



You can change the formatting of your links with a bit of css, for your links add a new class to them like so



then in the css of your webpage add this

Also, instead making your headline links redirect to the actual news page, how about making them redirect to the news page then show the news post the user just clicked on. You can do that using this



notice the id={id}, this is what will make it show the news post

hey, i'm pretty clueless when it come to this sort of stuff...
how would i do something similar to what you just said - i want the headlines on the homepage of our club, then when you click on them, i'd like it do go to another version of the site - one without the ads etc that are on the homepage. is this possible?

thanks, Jason.

Jason,

First you need to create new template, Options > Templates > Create a new template.

In the News section of the template this is where you put the html code you want to use when displaying your headlines. Put something like this



Save this template and call it Headlines.

Now on the actual page where you want to display the headlines add this code



This will then show your headlines as links that when clicked will redirect to the fullstory.php page that you specified in the template.

Now all you need to do is edit fullstory.php and put a normal include in that page like so



So when a user clicks on one of the headline links on the front page, they get sent to the fullstory.php page which then shows them the full story for the headline they just clicked on.

thankyou my friend - YOU ARE AWESOME!
