Display Article Link in Blog View

Post by timmiller » Mon Sep 01, 2014 5:13 am

Hey guys,

I'm working on a site that needs to be simple for my client. They need to add links to You-Tube videos. It works great, but their end users are for the most part only going to view their content in blog view. The link only displays in the individual article page.

ex: Images and Links tab inside article editor,
Link A
Link A Text
URL Target Window

Any thoughts on how to modify the blog view and add the link?

Thanks in advance,

tm

The suggestion for simplicity would be to place the link in the article text area instead of going through file override for such a simple result

Right on. That is a stop gap for now. I do agree. But if it keeps clients from calling me for editing help, sometimes it's worth it.

Tim, they will become quite skilled at it within a day and be nagging you about something entirely different.
