Ey guys,
Thought i'd might drop by again Wink

I used the search for this one and did found some things but not exactly what i was looking for.

Here's my question;

I always wondered why you couldnt just click on the newstitle of an article posted on the homepage (index), just like most websites/blogs out there work.

You can only click on the 'Comments' or 'Read More' link at the bottom of the article (headline), at least in php-nuke 7.9 which im running.


I already made some changes in my theme.php, cause i couldnt find any article title in the modules/News/index.php.

Added
Code:
$title = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=$s_sid\">$title</a>";


To the themeindex() function. The link above was copied from modules/News/index.php at the 'Read More' function.

Problem is that it needs that $s_sid, and im not exactly sure how to include it?
Looks like i need to pull this from the db with one of those sql functions but my knowledge on that is just very limited.

So how can I make this work? Other (easier) solutions are welcome as well of course Cool


Edit: This is the 1st part of the sql query found in modules/News/index.php

Code:
$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT sid, catid, aid, title, time, hometext, bodytext, comments, counter, topic, informant, notes, acomm, score, ratings FROM ".$prefix."_stories $qdb $querylang ORDER BY sid DESC limit $storynum");

   while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
      $s_sid = intval($row['sid']);

I did this on my website - [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Let me check the themeindex function to see.

Somewhere in function themeindex, add this:
Code:
  global $sid;

  $title = '<a href="modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid='.$sid.'">'.$title.'</a>';

warren-the-ape - In an ideal world, you want to separate data from visual layout so with that in mind, it would IMHO be better to modify News/index.php rather than the theme.
The topic title is held in the var $title within index.php which you can see if you look at the code you posted above in the 'while' loop.
If you look at my site as an example, I have included text as well as the topic title in the ALT and TITLE html tags (I'm actually using images not text links).

Confused...this is a visual layout issue - some may not want to have this presented this way. I'd say leave this in the theme.

Oops sorry. Yes I see you are wanting the article title as the link anchor text instead of 'Readmore' or 'Comments' I mis-read the post.

Sorry for the late response, posted this topic just before i went on vacation Embarassed

But many thanks for the help and replies, it seems I was pretty close, looking at your code kguske Razz What you have on nukeseo.com is exactly what I had in mind, great stuff.

@ Guardian2003
Yep yep I know Cool, but my php knowledge is still very limited + im only using 1 theme on my site so dont think it would be a big problem.

Btw, i dont want to remove the 'readmore' and 'comments' links, just want to make a link out of the article title as well, mostly out of SEO purposes and cause its easier the click.

@ kguske
Could you explain the dots '.' around those variables (f.e. '.$sid.')? Is that necessary in PHP or just to make it php compliant? Me = still learning

Hmm, it doesn't seem to work as it should be.

Im still getting the following link for all my articles; [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

So its still missing that 'sid' nmbr.


This is the entire function, there was already a 'global' so i placed the '$sid' there, not sure if thats correct?

Code:


/************************************************************/
/* Function themeindex()                                    */
/*                                                          */
/* This function format the stories on the Homepage         */
/************************************************************/

function themeindex ($aid, $informant, $time, $title, $counter, $topic, $thetext, $notes, $morelink, $topicname, $topicimage, $topictext) {
    global $anonymous, $sid, $tipath;
    if ($notes != "") {
   $notes = "<br><br><b>"._NOTE."</b> <i>$notes</i>\n";
    } else {
   $notes = "";
    }
    if ("$aid" == "$informant") {
   $content = "$thetext$notes\n";
    } else {
   if($informant != "") {
       $content = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=userinfo&amp;username=$informant\">$informant</a> ";
   } else {
       $content = "$anonymous ";
   }
   $content .= ""._WRITES." <i>\"$thetext\"</i>$notes\n";
    }
    $title = '<a href="modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid='.$sid.'">'.$title.'</a>';
    $posted = ""._POSTEDBY." ";
    $posted .= get_author($aid);
    $posted .= " "._ON." $time $timezone ($counter "._READS.")";
    $tmpl_file = "themes/*/story_home.html";
    $thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
    $thefile = addslashes($thefile);
    $thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
    eval($thefile);
    print $r_file;
}

OK, so I downloaded 7.9 and verified that the variable you need to use is $s_sid instead of $sid. Replace that in the global statement and in the link in this function, and it should work correctly.

It's strange - the link still has sid = $s_sid... So don't change your link - just the variable ($sid -> $s_sid).

ALSO, in function theindex in modules/News/index.php, add $s_sid to the global variable declaration statement.

Aaah many thnx for your help and time kguske, it worked Groovy

Could/should have seen that 's with underscore', its indeed already there in the modules/News/index.php Embarassed

I changed the $sid into $s_sid at the 'Function themeindex()' like you said + added the global statement in the News/index.php.

I really love it Cool It are the little things.
