Is it possible to click "full story" and read it in a new window? Thanks!

I'm interested in this too. Without this feature I can't really insert the contents on another page.

Thanks.

Instead of using the [readmore] tags, create your own link and have it open in a new window

Code:


<a href="newpage.php?id={id}" target="_BLANK">Read more</a>

Should this be done in the "News" part of the selected template?

Correct, the page that opens in a new window "newpage.php", on that page you just need to add a normal include like so

Code:


<?php
include 'news/index.php';
?>

How would I get this to work with Friendly URL's activated?
The article won't work per the above instructions.

Could you tell me each step? Cause I think my issue also has to do with the .htaccess files and the include link itself?

Root file is index.php
File I want to show the article is /articles/index.php
Friendly URL is /articles/index.php
News directory is in /news/
