Multi Article News Spotlight

Is there any way to use the spotlight features in the recent news block to show more than 1 article? I like the way the block is laid out, much more than having my start page be news. But I do not like that it will only show the latest article, I can do a teaser of the others, but this does not work right as it will show the read more text in the same screen. Is there a hack or something that would allow the spotlight to show more than the 1 article? Thanks.

Re: Multi Article News Spotlight

I'm currently looking for the same thing. I have an article in the begginers corner (which i'm realising probably should be here) with some coding questions.

Let me know if you've found any solutions.

Thanks!!

Re: Multi Article News Spotlight

Well here's what i'm currently trying to create for the 5 Article News Block. Any suggestions to why the "hometext" is the same on both but the rest of the content is unique?

Here's the script i'm trying to use. Thanks in advance!!

global $xoopsDB, $xoopsConfig, $xoopsUser, $xoopsModule, $xoopsModuleConfig, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;    
include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/modules/news/class/class.newsstory.php';

$topicid = 2;

$query = "SELECT storyid, title, topicid, hometext FROM ".XOOPS_DB_PREFIX."_stories WHERE topicid='$topicid' ORDER BY storyid ASC";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$sarray = NewsStory::getAllPublished();
$scount = count($sarray);

for ( $i = 0; $i < $scount; $i++ ) {
    $storyid = $sarray[$i]->storyid();
    $storytext = $sarray[$i]->hometext();
    }


    while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
    {
          if ( $row->topic=$topicid)
      { 


echo "
      
      ";
        
echo "$row->title";

    if (is_object($xoopsUser)) {
echo "[$row->storyid>Edit
 | $row->storyid>Delete]";
    }
    echo "$storytext
";

}
    }
