I put up your blog template with a blue container I made... I kinda like it!
I'm working on a Vinocellar template / container combo that should go well together with the modifications I made to your venture skin. (which I'll post back here when I'm done)
Great stuff Scott. |

| Hmm - Strange, try again now, I've upped the limit, though, if its only 16kb, I am not sure why it failed. |

I know that some forums only allow uploads after the user has made a
certain number of posts.. Do ActiveForums have this feature?

I've fixed this forum so you can attach, it wasn't allowing zip files.
I've also attached the basic.zip theme |
 Attachment: Basic.zip

Nice Work!!
Those are RSS feeds on the front page? In the next release i'll be releasing a module to do this without using RSS so it could be much quicker.
Again, I have to say Nice Work! |

Yep!
This is how I set it up. I added an instance of the NewsArticles module on 3 separate pages - News, Sport and Events. The News instance displays all categories, Sport displays only Sport category, and Events displays only Events category.
On the front page, I added three instances of the RSS module, each pointing to its corresponding page.
This works perfectly for me. What changes did you have in mind Scott? Can I get the same layout without using RSS?
Once again, I must congratulate you on your work, you're a gun!
Cheers

How did http://www.melbournecroatia.net/ limit the size of their summary page? I have only found examples where the entire first page is dumped into the summary.
Thanks,
Chris

Here's how.
When you create a new article, only put what you want seen in that first page. This first page will be your summary. Then, add a new page with whatever else you want. We normally put the summary, then the rest of the article.
So the RSS displays the short summary page, and when you click on the link, it automatically opens the added page you created (ie not showing the summary page first).
I hope this is what you meant, let us know how you go.
Cheers

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the help and pointers. I've got a version of News
Articles up here:
http://idahohealthcareforall.org/Articles/tabid/190/Default.aspx
I started with Scott's default template and then got out my Sawz
All. After I put everything back together I did have some pieces
left over but it seems to display OK.
I even did a one line edit to two News core files:
- ucCategoryView.ascx - <H3><asp:HyperLink ID="lnkCategory" Runat="server"></asp:HyperLink></H3>
- ucNewsListing.ascx - <H3>Current Articles</H3>
If anyone is interested I can zip it all up and post it - just let me know.
I've got a few more questions I'm hoping for further guidance on.
1 - How can I get the RSS to format the Current Articles page? I
realize this is a big questions, but if anyone know of an easy way to
map my current News Templates over to RSS I'd like to know.
Here's what it looks like now (sunglasses are recommended):
http://idahohealthcareforall.org/Home/tabid/169/Default.aspx
2 - How can I get an RSS based on Current Articles to only display the
Featured Articles but have Current Articles page show them all?
Maybe there could be a Syndication on 25 Latest Featured Articles in
the future.
3 - Is there anyway to show [CATEGORIES] for each article on any of the Listing pages?
4 - Is there anyway to show [COMMENTSCOUNT] for each article on any of the Listing pages?
5 - Is there a list of all tokens that exist and that are planned?
6- Any guarded guess on the next release date ;-)
All in all I'm very happy and pleased with how things are just as they stand.
Thanks for all the work Scott, I can tell you've put a lot of time and care into this application.
Have a good one.
Wylie

Hi Wylie, The link looks great! 1 - How can I get the RSS to format the Current Articles page? I
realize this is a big questions, but if anyone know of an easy way to
map my current News Templates over to RSS I'd like to know.
Here's what it looks like now (sunglasses are recommended):
http://idahohealthcareforall.org/Home/tabid/169/Default.aspx If you wait to the end of the day, I will be releasing a new release of news articles (like message count, send list from PM), that will allow you to put articles on your front page, and customise the look very easily. RSS/XSL has a bit of a learning curve. 3 - Is there anyway to show [CATEGORIES] for each article on any of the Listing pages? I'll be addressing this in the updates for the skinning, probably next week sometime for this release. 4 - Is there anyway to show [COMMENTSCOUNT] for each article on any of the Listing pages? Yes, you should be able to now, not sure if it is CommentCount or CommentsCount. Apologies for no skinning guide yet, but I am working on a few updates now and have began to free my schedule. 5 - Is there a list of all tokens that exist and that are planned? yep, Skinning Guide. 6- Any guarded guess on the next release date ;-) Either today, or tomorrow depending on where in the world you are  |
