News item help

[applepie]

Hi, how do I get the news item to show the title and the short description only?This is the code on my index file:

<?php display_news_items(0, 8, 50, 2,
  ' News', 'show full news text', 'uups, no news available',
  true, '<a><img>', false, ' (h:i, d.m.Y)'); ?>

Thanks.

Ok, i know I havent done it right. My page came out blank when I tried to change the codes on my index file. Grr... do you mind pasting the right code here? Thanks.

It is not a matter of code but a matter of css.
Read the help me file.
Look at your html code output.
Wrap the code in a div or class and then format this in the css file for example:

Code:

.news hr {display:none;}
.news a {display:none;}

Ok, maybe I am think. Hands up. The help file mentioned code page. I am not sure what code page or code module the author is referring to.

<?php display_news_items(0, 8, 50, 2,
  ' News', 'show full news text', 'uups, no news available',
  true, '<a><img>', false, ' (h:i, d.m.Y)'); ?>

You can place the above code in your index.php at the place, where you want the news items to be shown, so your code must be

Code:

<div id="news"><?php display_news_items(0, 8, 50, 2,
  ' News', 'show full news text', 'uups, no news available',
  true, '<a><img>', false, ' (h:i, d.m.Y)'); ?></div>

or you can put the code (on top of this post) in a page or section "code" or "code2" in your backend to get the news displayed.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I dont see the difference what I have done. The news is showing fine. All I want to do is to show the title and short description of the news on my home. At the memont it is showing the titles of my news only. Does that make sense? I odnt undestand what you mean by Code or Code2. What are you referring to? The index page which the news code?

Hi there,

Your mistake lies in Your call

display_news_items(0, 8, 50, 2,......  will show a list only
display_news_items(0, 8, 50, 1,......  will show details with title, description and link

that´s the reason.

Vyni have been really helpful and helped me to resolved most of my problem. This is another question I have. Can someone show me how can I replaced <hr> with dotted lines? My news item is separated by <hr> and I would like to replace it with dotted lines, eg:

#news a:hover {color:red;}
#news h2 {margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold;}
#news hr {margin-top:-10px; margin-bottom:10px; color:#666666;}

Thanks.

You can style it via CSS, you could even give it a backgroundimage ...
