Code:


<a href="news/index.php?id={id}">Read more</a>

Change news/index.php to the file where you want to display the full news article, then on that page simply do a normal include like so

Code:


<?php
include 'news/index.php';
?>

I inserted the code you recommended but it still includes a "Read more" link on the second page, under the quoted article. Is there some way to prevent this?

Thanks.

Hey Chris, still need your help, just need the readmore feature done and everything will be working smoothly. What should the template for the full story page have?

On the 'news_full.php' page where you're displaying the full article, specify which template to use by using the following code

Code:


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

Then edit/create the 'new template' via Optios > Templates. And remove the readmore link from it.

Hey guys....

How did you actually make the script go to a "different page" for the FULL NEWS STORY???
Cause, mine simply reloads the same page with the full news story.

Thanks

OH... Think I answered my own question by reading the "Pop up new window" thread.

:)

Hey Chris.... Could you answer his "original" question?
He stated above that the Results page was simply listing the Articles List again, rather than the sole article.

I don't know if he fixed that issue, or if he just never got around to it, because you answered another question rather than the original one. Cause, I'm having the original problem.

Also, how would you make it work for Friendly URL's?
