Here's
an example of how I handled the Categories issue:
http://idahohealthcareforall.org/Information/Articles/tabid/190/Default.aspx
You'll
also notice how I have the category in a large font at the top of each
category listing page. To do this I had to edit the ucCategoryView.ascx and ucNewsListing.ascx pages.
That's really good Wylie.
I also wanted to be able to hide the header (Current Articles | Categories | Search 
and footer (Article List page 1 of 2) if it is possible because i am
having many News Article Modules on several tabs and looks not so good
if on the top and below of each module are visible the header and
footer.
Wylie, that site is looking terrific! Mind if I use you in a featured customers list?
Mike, you should be able to get rid of the bottom by editing the
listing.footer.html file.. I'm working on an option to configure the
top..

Hi Folks,
I've been swamped for the last week.
Scott - I'd be honored to be included in your featured list.
I'd also be happy to share my templates. Let me upgrade to the latest version this weekend and then get a zip sent out.

I have found a small bug in the DNN 3.1 release.
If you look at my Articles page:
http://idahohealthcareforall.org/Information/Articles/tabid/190/Default.aspx
You'll notice I have put categories as a listing of links to the
side. For each link I had checked the "Track Number Of Times This
Link Is Clicked?" box. In DNN 3.0.13 this worked fine.
In DNN 3.1 I get the following error:
[FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.]
System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info) +0
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule.OnBeginRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) +1630
System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication+IExecutionStep.Execute() +60
System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +87
So I have now unchecked the "Track Number Of Times This Link Is Clicked?" box and the links work fine again.

I think this is not isolated to this module. Have you tried it with the standard links module?
I seem to remeber having the same trouble with that, not sure at the moment. |

You're correct, it is not limited to the News Articls module.
Basically you can no longer use the option "URL ( A Link To An
External Resource )" and "Track Number Of Times This
Link Is Clicked?" when your link acutally points to a page within your site.
This is not a problem with pages created by the framework because you can use "Page ( A Page On Your Site )" and "Track Number Of Times This
Link Is Clicked?" in conjunction without any problems. But
for pages created within a module, like News Articls, you have to use
"URL ( A Link To An External Resource )" to link to them.

Hi Folks,
I've installed Scott's latest version of News Articles and everything works great.
I'm attaching a zip file of the template I made. You can see it in action here:
http://idahohealthcareforall.org/Information/Articles/tabid/190/Default.aspx
Under your /DnnForge - NewsArticles/Templates directory create a new
folder called /KeepItSimple. Unzip the attached file into the
/KeepItSimple directory.
You will notice at my site that I have the Category name listed at the
top of the listing pages. To do this I hacked two .ascx
files. I've included copies of them in the zip. Look for
"copy of ...". I used <h3> tags to format the Category
names, but you can use any stylesheet classes you want.
You'll also notice that I've got a Categoies list of links on the
left. That you will have to create yourself. If you do,
when you make links to the News Articles pages you'll have to us the
"URL ( A Link To An External Resource )" option. With DNN 3.1 you
can no longer "Track Number Of Times This
Link Is Clicked?" if your "External URL" actually links to a page within your site. So don't select this option.
BTW - on the "home" page of the site I reference above you'll notice
that I'm using Scott's Latest Articles module to great advantage.
Thanks again Scott.

Scott is there any way of editing the tempates and get as a result something like:
---------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| This is |
| a featured |
| article |
| |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| This is not | This is not |
| a | a |
| featured article | featured article |
| | |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------
I mean that the feature articles will be in 100% width (of the News Articles Module) and the non feature article in 50% width.
I really have to do that. If it is not possible by editing templates then can you please provide me some information on what i have to do?
Thanks a lot. |

Mike, could be possible through the use 2 modules using Latest Articles.
Add a module that only shows a featured article (max1).
Add another module that shows other articles (non-featured) (max2)

Scott, when the feature article will become non-feature will not be showned in the other module (for non-featured), that's the problem. |

I might just port that shout box (as is), I was going to make some
enhancements, but I think I'll port first. I'll try to do it on the
weekend.

So, where is this Templates Guide you have me so excited about? 
Also, the link in Scott's post to which I'm replying points from this thread right
back to this thread. Was it supposed to point somewhere else?
