News in NEW WINDOW
Hi I searched the posts but did not find any answer (only regarding the ADMIN - new window)
I have my news running down a table on the lsft side of home page (about 250px) I would like to have the "read more" open to a full page within a template I have built for the news stories. Then return to news would get them back to the home page headlines/teasers. Having the news open in that narrow table causes VERY long and ugly pages...
Thanks for any help!

Re: News in NEW WINDOW
hey mousepad,
This can be done, but will require some code changes. I may need to ask a few more configuration changes / options from you as well (see below):
1. Would you like the story to be opened in a new, separate window every time or would you like the stories to all be opened in the same new window?
2. Would you like the story to be opened in a new window or the same window as the teasers with a different webpage / template?
2. Do all of the stories have a "full story" associated with them?
3. Would you like the RSS feed associated with the "full story" template or a different one?

Re: News in NEW WINDOW
Hi thanks for your reply - but I found another script that has "open in popup" built in. So I will be trying that one.

I'll let you know. I need to check my code when I get home to let you know where to edit.

I can let you know how to do this. However, if you add or edit a post in a new window, it won't show up on the original window until you refresh it. We could add a javascript refresh to refresh the original window after an add or edit. Let me check the code for you.

Do you mean the replacement tags in the template.inc.php file? They are not exactly PHP or ASP, but are used for a "string replace" command in the '/forum/mynews.inc.html' file (i.e. the tags as they are set up are replaced by the actual information for that tag using the PHP function str_replace as seen in the '/forum/mynews.inc.html' file).

Re: News in NEW WINDOW
hi
these 3 points apply to my problem:
1. Would you like the story to be opened in a new, separate window every time or would you like the stories to all be opened in the same new window?
2. Would you like the story to be opened in a new window or the same window as the teasers with a different webpage / template?
2. Do all of the stories have a "full story" associated with them?
on the first page where the teasers are listed is a general description of the page. what you can find on it and so on.
when i klick on read more. this general description appears on the new page as well.
how can i open the history in a new page without the general description?
thx in advance

Re: News in NEW WINDOW
It is quite easy, if I understand your need right. With a basic knowledge of HTML, you know that <a href="blablalb.com>Read more</a> is a link. Then you can simple add target="_blank" to the form, then it will pop up in a new window. So go into the template file, look for
<? if("{urltofullstory}" != "") {?><br /> <br /> <a href="{urltofullstory}"> Read more</a><? }?></td>
And change the line to: <? if("{urltofullstory}" != "") {?><br /> <br /> <a href="{urltofullstory}" target="_blank">Read more</a><? }?></td>
