Cannot change the Extended news required setting from Yes to No
Asked Modified Viewed 733 times

Hello.
We're currently building a Website that doesn't require the extended news feature - we want the "Snippet" and the "Extended" to be the same.
I assume the "Required extended news?" setting in the News Infusion is what we're looking for. Sadly - changing it from "Yes" to "No" and confirming it by hitting the "Save Settings" button makes the page reload, claiming "Settings successfully updated" - but the field Jumped back to "Yes". Trying to submit news without the extended tab filled in doesn't work either since it claims it's a required field.
The only error we get in PHPFusions Error log is this one:
File: news_settings.php
Page: /infusions/news/news_admin.php?aid=82994d78116bdea4§ion=settings
Line: 58
Error message: Undefined index: news_submission_access
It's not directly related but i guess close enough in the same file to cause the issue - preventing our setting from saving.
We're on 9.10.11
PHP 7.3.31-1
Apache 2
All up2date.
Edit:
The error message copied above only seems to appear when I remove all of the users from the "Access to Submit page" field. It will then default to "Members" which i guess is fine. Sadly, this does not change anything about the "No" -> "Yes" setting behaviour, even when not touching the field with the members list - not outputting the error.

You need to edit the news template if you want it to be same ( news_news / news_extended ) in : /infusions/news/templates/news.tpl.php
Remove news_news data there, depending on theme you might need to edit the template in the Theme engine.

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:
$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!

Great that you found it, I created most of Darkcore, so should not be to tricky for me to refresh the memory on my self..
So here, themes/Darkcore/templates/home.php you have a pre-defined override of that home module.
To Enable it, open Darkcore/theme.php and remove comment from //require_once THEME.'templates/home.php';
Now you are feel to customize your home module without touching Core.
