: "Read more" link has same format as previous page. : ariesnrg July 18, 2013, 09:49:49 AM I'm using the "read more" function on my home page, and when I click on the link, it opens the article with the front page formatting. I'd prefer that it go a page formatted for news articles.
I have the same issues in my "News and Events" page. I chose to list the 10 most recent stories with a "newsflash" module published in Top Row 2_1. If I click on "read more" or the article title, the article shows up in the body of the page, but still under all the newsflash information. Again, I want a format for articles that doesn't include confusing headers. The same is true for doing a search. The results show up in the body of whatever format the page is. This would be very confusing to a visitor, as it wouldn't look like the page changed since they searched unless they scrolled down a bit. How do I indicate that I want a different template to show up in instances like this?

It is because your articles don't have a menu alias to appear on. Make sure all your articles are linked to a category and that category is linked to a menu item (it doesn't have to be front end visible) That way all your articles will have a separate alias and can render on their own pages. -Mike : Re: "Read more" link has same format as previous page. : ariesnrg July 19, 2013, 11:25:22 AM This makes sense to me, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I understand making sure that articles are linked to a category. Simple. But how do you make sure a category is linked to a menu item? What would be an example of this? : Re: "Read more" link has same format as previous page. : mikenicoll July 19, 2013, 06:56:54 PM Hello,
Try the following format: 1) Article > Category 2) Menu Item > Category Blog > Link to Category Name You Created Now they should all have a menu alias' to display on. -Mike |
