There are several ways. Easiest is once you have your News module setup, goto your XOOPS admin preferences and set the News module as your default homepage module.

That is a little trickier. You can either hack the code to allow you to select only to display 1 news item per page, or by far the easiest way woulo be to use a spotlight block. What version of News are you using?

Two ways. Update to News 1.3 and use the inbuilt spotlight block.

Or download the spotlight module that will enable you do do this for News 1.1. Have a look in the module repository and on the forums for the spotlight module.

I believe the hack brash is refering to is to edit xoops_version.php in modules\news\

find this bit of code:

Quote:



$modversion['config'][1]['options'] = array('5' => 5, '10' => 10, '15' => 15, '20' => 20, '25' => 25, '30' => 30);




and change it to:

Quote:


$modversion['config'][1]['options'] = array('1' => 1, '5' => 5, '10' => 10, '15' => 15, '20' => 20, '25' => 25, '30' => 30);



then update your news module, go into preferences and select number of news stories to show.
the code will give you the option to show only 1 news item in the index at a time.

Hi,

I think I am still cannot get a solution for my requirement. Please see the "Latest XOOPS news" - I need a latest news on home page and when I put a other new, this new will come to home page automatically.

Thanks in advance,
