I have multiple news articles on a page and when I create a new article it comes up with a add new article for each news article module on the page. Does anyone know why or how I can ensure only the news article I am working on displays? Thanks Alex

Hi Alex, avoid using multiple copies of the main NA module on the same page. Try using the Latest Articles module instead for the satellite copies. Each instance of LA can have its own template and as it does not contain an editor, you will not run into any issues with that. Rob

Thanks for the suggestion. That's going to be tricky to manage, asking clients to go to separate pages to manage content and maintaining different templates for this situation. We are using NA everywhere we need a series of thumbnail/title/descriptions that repeat. We can have 3 of these on a page next to each other. Are there any plans to fix this? Alternatively are there any plans to include a multi column option similar to DNN Article? Thanks Adam

Latest articles is the recommended solution for this. Alternatively, you can set the option launch links in admin options which will load any detail page in the admin skin. For the multi-column, if I do this, you will lose the templating ability you have today, e.g. header/item/footer. It is possible to achieve in CSS.
