Few people posted thier tricks and it looked like none of them were working for 6.5 and above.

I took one of those old tips and sorta ported to make it work with 6.5 and above ( I am using 6.9)

Here is goes.

modules/News/index.php:
Look for:

Code:

if ($catid != 0) {
$sql3 = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_stories_cat WHERE catid='$catid'";
$result3 = $db->sql_query($sql3);
$row3 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result3);
$title1 = $row3[title];
$title = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=News&file=categories&op=newindex&catid=$catid\">$title1</a>: $title";
$morelink .= " | <a href=\"modules.php?name=News&file=categories&op=newindex&catid=$catid\">$title1</a>";
}

And change it to:

Code:

if ($catid != 0) {
$sql3 = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_stories_cat WHERE catid='$catid'";
$result3 = $db->sql_query($sql3);
$row3 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result3);
$title1 = $row3[title];
$title = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=News&file=categories&op=newindex&catid=$catid\">$title1</a>: $story_link $title</a>";
$morelink .= " | <a href=\"modules.php?name=News&file=categories&op=newindex&catid=$catid\">$title1</a>";
} else {
$title ="$story_link $title</a>";
}

I went to our index.php (CPG) and I got that:

Code::

if ($catid != 0) {
            $title = "<a href=\"".getlink("News&amp;catid=$catid")."\"><font class=\"storycat\">$cattitle</font></a>: $title";
            $morelink .= " | <a href=\"".getlink("News&amp;catid=$catid")."\">$cattitle</a>";
        }

Is the change the same way for CPG, replacing "$title "with "$story_link $title</a>"; "

Thanks

I tried it, it seems to work.

Code::

        if ($catid != 0) {
            $title = "<a href=\"".getlink("News&amp;catid=$catid")."\"><font class=\"storycat\">$cattitle</font></a>: $story_link<font class=\"storytitle\"> $title</font></a>";
            $morelink .= " | <a href=\"".getlink("News&amp;catid=$catid")."\">$cattitle</a>";
        }else { 
$title ="$story_link <font class=\"storytitle\">$title</font></a>"; 
}

This will require better knowlege of the getlink() function. You should review this process before attempting modification.

ok since the other forum that I posted this in was deleted Confused

, could the title of each news article be linked to the article by default? it may be confusing to some to find the rest of an article by clicking 'read more'. thoughts? I know a couple others supported this as well.

I was just searching for something else and stumbled across this thread. I made a post a few months ago that, if I've understood the original topic correctly, should be of some help.
