  Hi guys
  
  I have tried to find it, but couldn't (althought I didn't go through 107 pages of threads )
  
  I am looking for a newsmodule for my American Football site.
  (http://www.amsterdam-crusaders.nl where I want to start using PustNuke like I am testing here http://www.amsterdam-crusaders.nl/nuke/ )
  
  I want to convert the whole site to PostNuke but am not totally convinced. I have to be able to have a roster, recent news/gamereports, info about our club, etc. ....
  
  I want to be albe to post news messages/gamereports.
  I want them to be in a list of 10 on the frontpage
  But only the titles and the dates.
  And from the most recent one I want it to show a summary. And if you click read more, I want it to expand
  Like in EzPortal for phpBB (http://smartor.is-root.com)
  
  Is there a module like this???
  Or what changes should I make to the PHP to make it work ???
  Hopefully I post this in the right place and hopefully there is someone that understands me
  
  cheers
  RookY

  You can create a block with the story titles (including the date).
  
  The amount of stories on the front page can be added as followed:
  
  save a backup copy of /modules/News/funcs.php
  
  edit /modules/News/funcs.php
  
  find the line:
  
  function getArticles($where, $order, $limit, $startnum=0) {
  
  Add $limit=1; (numer 1 is the amount of stories) after that line so that it looks like this:
  
  function getArticles($where, $order, $limit, $startnum=0) {
  $limit=1;
  
  Good luck

  indeed...
  if you have the frontpage of www.portnuke.com
  There is a block pnNews. you see a listing of all the news.
  I would just like that first one is displayed as a summary
  ... in the same block!

  Using AutoTheme you can create or edit a theme where you've got a block position underneath. With this setting you can create a storie-block for all the news items and showing only the titels.
  
  Above this block there will be the stories introduction. With the code in my previous post you can set the amount of introduction of the stories displayed on your frontpage.

  Well, I'm not a coder, so I can't help you further more, only pointing you in the right direction.
  
  Sure the size of the blocks can be adjusted, but I don't know how to do that. Maybe someone else can jump in here to help you out. Also I don;t know how much you are familiair with PHP otherwise, take a look at php.net. Here you can find the information of how to code in PHP.
  
  Good luck and keep is informed.

  I understand a bit in PHP
  Should be able to adjust stuff, but not too much :)
  
  Is there anyone that can tell me where and how I can resize the blocks in the center?
  Like if I want the NewsList and Recent topics side by side
  and below the admin messages full width.
  how do I do that?
  THnx
