[MOD] Clickable Article Titles

[bakercad]

Same idea as here for 1.5.xx

UPDATED: Made this easier
UPDATED - August 13, 2007: updated to work when pages are specified during pagination.

Makes article title clickable only at home or within a category.  If you're viewing the article, it will NOT be clickable, since you're already there.

In the center() function:
find this: note the red text

if ($r['displaytitle'] == 'YES') {echo '<h2>'.(strlen($text) > $shorten ? $link.$category.'/'.$r['seftitle'].'/" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a>' : $title).'</h2>';}

Replace the red text above with the blue text below:
UPDATE - August 13, 2007 add the purple

if ($r['displaytitle'] == 'YES') {echo '<h2>'.( !$article  || $currentPage ? $link.$category.'/'.$r['seftitle'].'/" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a>' : $title).'</h2>';}

I noticed today that my article titles only are clickable on the first page of my so far 6 pages in home category. How can I make all article titles clickable in home category, no matter what page number?

This mod don't work everywhere.

The titles in the PAGES is not clickable and if you go to a page via the Article Menu links it is also not clickable.

Same also apply for a mod to display list of articles in a specific category.  

If you visit an article via Category Menu and/or next / back etc it is clickable but not if you visit the same page via other link.

I actually don't care about whether it is clickable or not but after it become clickable with this mod I was able to customise the title a bit by adding

 direct after the

Via above mentioned links to the article it is no longer clickable AND the slight layout modification disapear so I guess that it is strlen out when visited via other than normal llinks.

You will notice that the Article title are clickable and there is a line and space under it.

The article title is no longer clickable and the line and space under it also disappeared.

I added the

 AFTER the so if the title is clickable it is ok, but if not, the format will also not be changed. I cannot figure out where to place the formating code for non-clickable article titles and would appreciate some help please.

This is a CSS styling issue.
The space and line under the title... when it is an active link... is a styling issue. In your css stylesheet, the appearance of all links in your site will be controlled by the style declarations for a which... in the default sNews 1.6 Minimal Template (style.css file) is:

a { color: #E23300; background: inherit; }

... and the above will automatically apply the underline to all links. You can remove that auto-generated line by adding the following to the styling:

a { color: #E23300; background: inherit; text-decoration: none; }

With this line removed, you can then modify the styling applied to all the article titles:

h2 { border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0 0 3px;  }

Notice that it has a solid border-bottom of 1px and it is #eee in color. If this is fine with you, leave it as it is. If not, you can change it.

hi, sorry im a bit confused.. where exactly do i put this? :

if ($r['displaytitle'] == 'YES') {echo '<h2>'.( !$article  || $currentPage ? $link.$category.'/'.$r['seftitle'].'/" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a>' : $title).'</h2>';}

Please refer to the post at the top of this topic. Bakercad's instructions are pretty clear. You need to use the search function in your code editor to locate the noted string, and make your change within it.
