I've searched, but can't seem to find an answer. I am trying to setup my site to only display one news item at a time on the main page.

I took a look at modules/news/index.php and changed

for ( $i 5$i <= 30$i $i ) {
       
$sel '';
        if (
$i == $xoopsOption['storynum']) {
            
$sel ' selected="selected"';
        }
        
$storynum_options .= '<option value="'.$i.'"'.$sel.'>'.$i.'</option>';

    }


to

// Changed to allow for only one story to be selected
//   for ( $i = 5; $i <= 30; $i = $i + 5 ) {
   
for ( $i 1$i <= 30$i $i ) {
       
$sel '';
        if (
$i == $xoopsOption['storynum']) {
            
$sel ' selected="selected"';
        }
        
$storynum_options .= '<option value="'.$i.'"'.$sel.'>'.$i.'</option>';

    }


I then cleared the cache on my browser and the website and went to admin, but still only have the option to select to display news items in increments of 5, starting at 5.

I also tried brute force:

// Test to see if this alters selection ability
// for ( $i = 1; $i <= 30; $i = $i + 5 ) {
//       $sel = '';
//        if ($i == $xoopsOption['storynum']) {
//            $sel = ' selected="selected"';
//        }
                
$i 1;
                
$sel '1';
        
$storynum_options .= '<option value="'.$i.'"'.$sel.'>'.$i.'</option>';

//    }


No luck though.

Any hints?

This is one I'm not sure of but maybe you could look at

news/templates/news_index.html
Maybe edit these lines.


<!-- start news item loop -->
<{section name=i loop=$stories}>
<{include file="db:news_item.html" story=$stories[i]}>
<br />
<{/section}>
<!-- end news item loop -->

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the information. I took a look at that and I believe that is just the template for the selection of the topic catagory and the number to show of that catagory.

I'm well and truly stumped on this one. LOL.

in news/xoops_version.php file, find the following config items (the numbering may vary depends which version you are using)

$modversion['config'][1]['formtype'] = 'select';

$modversion['config'][9]['name'] = 'storycountadmin';

add
('1' => 1, '5' => 5, ...

When you are done, update the module then select 1 as your default value.
