    Default News Summary to display

    Hi there, we have a news page with some news items on it, however at the moment only the titles are displaying (which then click to the full story). How do I get the page to display a summary of each of the news articles on this page which then clicks through to read full story?

    Thanks

    You can change the ShowFullNewsArticle AppConfig to TRUE in order to show the full article on the news.aspx page. Those are the two options out of the box - Headline or Full Article.

    In order to display a summary of the article with a defined number of lines before a break, you would need to make some code modifications.
