simplest question ever

How do you display the news on the start page? Most ppl redirect to /modules/news/, but I'd like em to show up on the front page without any redirecting.

Is that possible? By editing index.php or mainfile.php?

If not, how to redirect without any delay?

I'm not sure that its redirecting as such, they select the news module *as* their start page in System -> Preferences -> General Settings.

Re. your template problem, have you got caching enabled for the news module (also in the general settings) ? If so that might explain why you can't see your changes, turn it off.

What you might want to do is to show your latest news in a block. This way you can put a lot of other stuff on your start page, but still making people aware of your latest news.

Thanks for your replies. :)

1. Cant you put the news directly in http://www.mydomain.com/?
If not I guess i'll have to set them as start page.

2. No i got caching disabled for all modules right now. :(

3. @rafnabergr The central part of my main page will be all news theres no other content i could put there.

Ummmmmm... where do you change the format of <{$story.title}>? (the title of a news item)

Hi Dave

I want to change it from Topic : Title to only Title, and make it not clickable, just text.

You would have to hack the file(s) that assigns the value to <{$story.title}>. I looked around a bit, but couldn't locate the place to change. It would take more investigation to find it.
