Thread: News Summary Question

Hi All,

I have one question about the news summary tag. Currently, it just show 3 news list and have "more" link to see all the news.

I want to change the list to view 5 news list. Do you have any experience with this? Please share about this

Thank you for your help before. Here is the site URL:

I got your ticket in support, thanks for posting this here.

This is pretty easy to achieve. Open news.xml.config file in {root}/XMLPackages folder, then do this change:

from:

Code:

<queryparam paramname="@NumHomeNewsToDisplay" paramtype="runtime" requestparamname="NumHomeNewsToDisplay" sqlDataType="int" defvalue="3"  validationpattern="" />

to:

Code:

<queryparam paramname="@NumHomeNewsToDisplay" paramtype="runtime" requestparamname="NumHomeNewsToDisplay" sqlDataType="int" defvalue="5"  validationpattern="" />

defvalue - adjust this according to the number of news summary you want to display on the home page.

Hi Alfred,

Thank you for your response

By the way, I have changed the value in news.xml.config to "5" like your suggest. But it seems it still show 3 news list in home page

I also have reset the cache from browser and from the site too. Is there something that I need to do again?

Please find news.xml.config file as enclosed

Please kindly advice. Thank you

Hi Aflred,

I'm forgot to mention, I use this tag to show the news summary in the template

(!NEWS_SUMMARY!)


Thank you,
Stefanus

We had this same trouble.

Turns out its actually hardcoded in Parser.cs in AspDotNetStorefrontCore on about line 138:

m_StaticTokens.Add("(!NEWS_SUMMARY!)", AppLogic.GetNewsSummary(5));
