Sometimes we intent to write a boring / long news in aour news (v1.44) module. And I really like to expose the newest nrews in my XOOPS site as a spotlight, but it seem to be too long because all the content of a sportlight news on the center block of my homepage. How do I manage to make it shorter like other module that we can set how many characters to show on the block. and the rest should be a link at the bottom-right of that block with text 'read more...'

In the news module when you submit a story there are 2 boxes - the scoop and extended news. To break tour story into 2 parts just put the first paragraphs you want in the spotlight in the first box. Rest in the second.

owh.. as simple as that. irealyy don't know it. thanks.
