I installed News Articles on two test DNN servers and was successfully able to have the summary be the article text, regardless of what page I was on -- the articles page or the individual article page. I've been told in another thread that I started (subject line says 'summaries') that this is the expected behavior -- if one has a summary and no details, the summary 'becomes' the article.

On the third test server to which I installed, this was not happening...putting in the summary puts all the text on the main news page, but no text appears on the individial article page.

This is happening on the one test server regardless of whether I use 5.8 or 6.0 or I start with 5.8 then upgrade to 6.0.

Suggestions, anyone??

I really need all the text of the article to appear on one page -- no 'read more' etc. stuff, too much clicking etc.

Thank you, Tom

P.S. This is really more a curiosity question because I will just clone one of the test VMs that is working properly and have it become the new test/practice server that people can bang around with.

Are you using a different text editor on the 3rd server? I'm wondering if it is putting html into the details section, e.g. it could be a paragraph tag.

Nope, just the standard DNN stuff.
I copied and pasted into the summary box, same as I did for other example text on other test servers.
Thank you, Tom

Thanks, Scott, I went back and installed again etc. and discovered that DNN's buggy HTML editor/provider inserted a

 

tag into the Details section, as it is wont to do without people asking or telling it to do so.

Took several tries to get it out of there with the source view but finally got it out and things displayed properly in the summary.

Thank you, Tom
