Stories Archive

Involved Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 302

I was wondering whethere it were possible to organise the stories archive in a different way. Users do not seem to like the monthly research. I have a lot of articles in my site but people do not get this idea because they cannot see a list of what they can find on the site. I think it would be better to organise it by subject or maybe by category. Anyway... what do you think about it? Is there a way to list all the articles (or rather only those belonging to a specific category) in the Stories Archive page? How can this be achieved?

I'm sure it can be, but that is really what the Topics module is for. Maybe you deactivate the stories archive and rename the Topics to Archive or something like that.

Yes... but the topics module (at least mine) only displays the last articles and not ALL of them... maybe I did something wrong? Confused

Try mine and see if that's what you're envisioning.

I envision 10 articles max and then "more" on the right for each topic. If i click on "more", the home page opens with a list of the articles (5, because this is what i chose in the preferences) belonging to the related topic... Confused

You still haven't answered my question Confused

Have you tried mine? Is that what you want or is it close or what?

Aaaah I'm sorry, I didn't undestand! I thought u meant to go and just have a look at your topics module! Embarassed

Well, this is not exactly what i need. It is better than mine of course, but in fact I do not need the most recent article to be displayed in the topics module. And I also noticed that if i click on "more" in your topics module, I don't get the full list of articles (the older ones I mean) but the full text of those 10 displayed in your topics module.

Basically I would need a topics module displaying the FULL list of the articles belonging to ALL the topics I have. At least if php-nuke can only display ten articles for each topic, I'd like the older ones to be displayed when clicking on "more".

Do you think it could be possibile? Confused

Why not apply page numbers mod to the module, then all you would need to do is click on next at the bottom of the page.

I basically did what Raven suggested. I modified a bit this module so that there is a link to visualize all the site articles.
Anyway, thank u Rikk for your kind advice Wink
