article list template help?

[benswift]

would there be any reason the article list template would be stuck on "default" ?

I have set it to "sample.tmpl" and a custom "list.tmpl" and neither have done a thing-

my site is here: http://www.wsphardcore.com/index.php

the article summary list is the grey box on the right which is in an iframe.

the custom template I made "list.tmpl" is like this :
Code:
<hr>
<div>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="98%" valign="top">
{DATE_ARTICLE}[br]
{SUMMARY}[br]
{AUTHOR}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>


I intend to completely remove the "more..." link.

before you ask: yes I have set the article summaries to point to "list.tmpl"
yes I have gotten custom templates to work on a different install...
yes my chmods are all correct.

any clues?

would my php.ini have anything at all to do with it?

- also - I have noticed that the DATE_ARTICLE tag will work in an article summary but the AUTHOR tag does not?

mainly I would like it to show the article summary in full with the author and date below

like :

You could hack on a "per-article" basis like this:

Use article "subtitle:" block like this:

Code: Select all

[EXT http://www.phpwcms.de]www.phpWCMS.com[/EXT] is the coolest thing to hit the streets [BR][B]{AUTHOR}[/B] - {DATE_ARTICLE}

well- it is a good idea- you can see the top one is formated like that-
http://www.wsphardcore.com

but for one thing - the author tag doesn't show in the article summary
and two- the "more..." tag still shows.

I am thinking about a reinstall. since I cannot figure out what the heck is going wrong... why the "template: article listing:" does not hook up correctly...

well- I did a reinstall and that fixed ?? it.
