I'm guessing that the bit that isn't in the framework is that modules don't have a way to relate to each other across pages... i.e. the first module doesn't know where the other module is in order to call it up.

Perhaps this is something that should be flagged with the core development team? It's a fairly generic web site function yet the lack of it affects a lot of DNN modules such as the forum, blog, repository and others. The need is demonstrated very well here on your site where all of your articles are having to sit on pages alone without other content. The result is that one might have a 50 page site with 45 of them not displaying contextual content or adverts. If the site were to provide an income from adverts then one would have to hard code them and any other content into the admin skin... which is not ideal either.

For my own site in the meantime, I'll leave the details displaying within the homepage as I'm only using the module for smallish news items. If I were going to use it for actual written content and multiple page articles then I'll need to have a rethink. At this point I'm setting up Bonosoft's Multipage content module to deal with such articles and I'll just be using the Solpart menu system to categorize them. To draw attention to new articles I'll just have to refer users manually via a site news article on the homepage.

Keep up the good work.

Why don't you use friendly urls to navigate between pages?  If at module level, you have the option to customise the template, this is very simple.  Change the template to use the [articleid] in the url and set up a rule in the siteurls.config file.  You can also take advantage of using the friendly url in promotions and campaigns.

I am too much of a newb to even begin to know what you just said.

The problem I  am having is veriy similar.  I have a Flash module and a rotating content module in my header.  The rotating content module is diplayed on every page but the flash file changes depending on what page you are on.  When I go to the  detail page of the articles and even the comment page, I just get a blank space where those modules would be.  Help DNN Kenobi , your my only hope.

Scott, I think I might have misread your earlier post when you suggested unchecking Launch Links.  I had it checked thinking that would fix the problem but indeed, you suggested to uncheck  it.  That worked as far as my header is concerned.  Sorry for the above post.

No problems, when it's unchecked it should load in place with the other modules that normally surround the articles module. If the other modules around it are content sensitive, e.g. google adsense, you should see the content change.
