Link for news title question...

Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2009 1:52 pm

Quick question all. The best I remember, I used to be able to go into the theme story_home.html and change

Code:

$title

to

Code:

<a href="$story_link">$title</a>

and it would create a link to the news title for the full story of the news article. That doesn't seem to work anymore. How can it be done now? Thank you.

When $story_link is defined it looks like this:

Code:

$story_link = '<a href="modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid='.$s_sid."$r_options".'">

'

So you would just need to do something like:

Code:

$story_link$title</a>

Thank you for your response. Do you mean define story_link in themes.php?

It is already defined within the News module.

If you do a global search of the files for $story_link you will see what I mean.

nuken, I don't remember exactly what changed to do this for nukeSEO.com, but it was definitely in the theme as you suggested. It sounds like what you did, and I'm glad you got it working.

My original problem was related to the theme. When I switched themes on my test site, it worked great. Every theme except a clan theme that I'm using on my son's guild site worked. I figured I would look at that theme and see why it was acting stupid. What it does is passes a number not related to the article number and it goofs up the content. Odd little situation. It works on every other theme though. Thanks again.
