Hey folks, I have a quick question. I have NEWS loaded in the main/home page of my site, http:www.thebazil.com. In the news articles it shows the title in the header of the story box, it shows posted by, the date, Read More if there is more to the story and comments.. I was wondering if there is a way to add a Source: link in that header. I was hoping to have it so that while I am composing the article there is a field for link and I can just paste it in....I was thinking that this may have to be part of the theme, but not sure..

any thoughts appreciated..

I would also love to know how to do this as well, Also a possible way to make the Read more link below the story direct to the source where the story was found.

Basicaly post half the story on my site and when they click read more it takes em directly to the site that I got the news from so they can read the rest..

Thanks

Considering that I am not well with PHP coding, I have figured how to use the NOTES option in the articles to suit my needs.. Simple question thou..how can I get it to show the word SOURCE: as opposed to NOTES: when the article displays.. I ahve gone thru all the code I can find and nothing shows that word... this is not what I wanted but may be the closest so far..

What your trying to add wouldnt be easy thats probably why you didn't get a reply. You can find the notes: in your theme.php for each theme under the function formatstory I believe. The default Nuke News module requires alot of editing to add items to it.
