How to include topic name with article title in "Recent News"

I think I misposted this in the "Module Troubleshooting" forum. Am therefore reposting here. Sorry for the redundancy:

What want to do is to modify News module's "Recent News" block (which shows articles in ALL topics), to display the topic along with the article title like so:

|==========================================|
| Recent News |
|------------------------------------------|
| * NATIONAL :: Godzilla Eats Baltimore! |
| * LOCAL :: Mayor Resigns & Opens Casino |
|==========================================|

It would seem that the thing to do would be to modify the block template, but I don't know if this is correct nor what to put where. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to do this.

Thanks,
JFM

Okay, I'm going to risk a double post, but my last entry is not appearing here, so here it is again, as well as I can remember:

Mowaffak,

Thanks for your input, but I don't think we are talking about the same thing. Lykos Blocks, like Topics Blocks, just show 1 topic at a time. That's not what I want.

What I want is a block, like the News module's "Recent News" block (which shows articles in ALL topics), to display the topic along with the article title like so:

==========================================
Recent News
------------------------------------------
* NATIONAL :: Godzilla Eats Baltimore!
* LOCAL :: Mayor Resigns & Opens Casino
==========================================

etc.

So, what I assume I need to do is modify the "Recent News" block template. The question is how? Any suggestion on this?

Okay, got Lykos Blocks working on another site where Topics Blocks were not installed. Probably cannot have both. Anyway, the block looks just like any other recent news block--no topic in the title.

I am curious, though, why did you think that the topic would be included in the Lykos block with the article title? Is there an option, perhaps, that I have overlooked?

Try Lykos Blocks Module


Thanks for the suggestion. Installed the blocks, but, when I set one to visible on the top page, all I get is a blank page.
Maybe they won't work with News 1.21?

Hope this is the right place to ask this:

I would like the topic to be displayed along with the titles in the "Recent News" block. Is there a relatively easy way to do this, and, if so, how?

Thanks,

I would like to have a version of search.php which would search only one module--or, when the search box comes up, it would have only the one module checked. Then, you could invoke whatever search_xx.php from whatever module if you wanted to search only that module.

The other modules should be available, also, just in case, but unchecked.

Would this be hard to do?

Thanks for both replies. Great information!

Question re using php: Apparently the .htaccess method is ok with search engines. What about the php method? Seems efficient and easy.

Question re using .htaccess: There is already an .htaccess file in my public_html directory, apparently set up when domain was created. If I were to use this method, would I just add the redirect line to the end?

Question re both: Is there an advantage to using one method over another?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not the same question at all. I am already running multiple test sites and have no problem with that.

The question is:

1. When I get ready for a live site, and I am nearly there, where should it go? I would like to install it in /site, but then would have to redirect xyz.com to xyz.com/site.

2. Can this redirection be done without confusing search engines, and, if so, how would it best be accomplished? Someone already doing this maybe?

Or, should it just be installed in the root directory and be done with it?

I want to do it the right way the first time.

I would like to install XOOPS in a sub-dir, say xyz.com/site and then have xyz.com redirected to xyz.com/site.

Is this a good thing to do?

Is there a way to accomplish this redirection so as not to mess up search engine indexing?
