xoops 2.09

I am using the core NEWS module to handle my articles instead of the core SECTIONS module.

When I click on the links within my articles that are suppose to link to my other articles, I get a 404 error page.

Do I have to change all the hyperlinks throughout my site to reflect hyperlinks that points to storyid or is there another way?

Please assist...

Can you give a concrete example?
(its not the site in your profile i figure)

Thanks for your reply.

OK. On my index.php page I have links to two pages:

animaltypes.php and benefits.php.

These are, of course, internal links. I need to know if there is a way to keep the internal file names of these pages the same, or do I have to adopt the XOOPS file name of storyid=1, storyid=2, and so forth and rename them all. (I have SEVERAL internal links throughout the site).

In other words, would animaltypes.php have to be reference with, for example, storyid=2
and benefits.php have to be referenced with, for example, storyid=3

FYI

I am changing two sites over to XOOPS one is http://www.diseasesfromanimals.org which is the one I am referring to now, and http://www.importrival.com which will be the more complicated one to migrate because it is using another CMS at the moment.

The link for the revision of http://www.diseasesfromanimals.org that I am currently working on is here if it helps http://www.diseasesfromanimals.org/xoops

You have link to
...modules/news/animaltypes.php

Where you find this URL on real site inside News module??? And why you expect something more than 404???
News (as other modules) have standard and well-known format of URLs, user=friendly URL not supported, and there aren't plans of supporting this feature in visible future - devs are busy in flame, chatting and "real life"

When you use a relative url (animaltypes.php), any link is based on your current base url (http://www.yoursite.com/xoops/modules/news/). Your urls are in the base directory of your site. Using an absolute url (http://www.yoursite.com/animaltypes.php) will direct the user to the correct page.
