Hey Falk thank you very much for your response.
I adjusted these variables in:
news/templates/news.tpl.php
and my Themes
/themes/Darkcore/templates/news.php
This actually works for sub-pages generated by the news infusion like [URL]/infusions/news/* but sadly this doesn't change anything about the homepage view where it's supposed to display the news_extended content.
I found the
"homepage.tpl.php" in
/themes/templates/global/ which seems to generate the "homepage" view including the news snippets.
In there
"function display_home($info)" is defined and later $info is used as follows:
foreach ($info as $module) {
opentable($module['blockTitle']);
if (!empty($module['data'])) {
foreach ($module['data'] as $data) {
....
echo ($data['content']);
$data['content'] is the preview snippet bit and not "news_extended"
when var_dumping $data[]; it contains all kinds of information about the News, sadly it does not contain the extended version, just the preview snippet bit. I feel like I'm tapping in the dark when it comes to bringing the news to the home-view of the page. I feel like changing the core files of phpfusion that feed display_home($info) with another info including the extended news is probably bad practice. Since I'm completely new to the CMS i'm probably approaching this the wrong way either way.
Maybe you can help me out yet another time?
Thank you very much for your time!
