I am using the demo version.

When I tried to install the custom properties module it showed me following errors.

If you have reached this page it is because the installer needs to gather some more information, before proceeding.

Failure A newer version of this package is already installed - 1.2.1

When I clicked up return button it gave this error.

A critical error has occurred.
Could not find a part of the path 'E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\Install\Temp\rxp0npur\CustomProperties.dnn'.

*Note: I have demo version of events calender installed.


I went ahead and installed advanced articls also inspite of above error.
The problem I am having is it does not work with links from external site. It just goes to a blank page with template from my site.

Hopfully you will be able to help.

Hi,

1. Custom Properties is because you installed a higher version. You don't have to install it again.

2. Can you provide the URL?
If you are referring to the Link, you can use [READMORE] token to show, and it should work for external link too.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, since the site is in development I cannot send the link.

I am using the default item template.

<TR >
<TD valign="top" rowspan="2">[PICTURE|100,100]</TD>

<TD height="20px">[CALENDARPUBLISHDATE]</TD>
<TD valign="top" width="100%">
<div>[EDIT]<b><a href='[DETAILLINK]'>[TITLE]</a></b></div>

<span>[FRIENDLYPUBLISHDATE] by <i>[AUTHOR]</i><span></TD></tr>
<tr>
<TD width="100%" valign="top" colspan="2" height="80px">
[SUMMARY] [DETAILLINK2|<a href="{0}">read more...</a>| ]
</TD>
</TR>

we cannot have read more in our link it would be just the title and when we click on title it should go to the site.



Hope you would reply soon.

Hi,
Maybe I misunderstood you.

What you mean by "it does not work with links from external site" in your first post?

suppose there is a link

mygoogle then when I click on to it should open google.com. The option that we have is link from external source in the



section:

The Announcment can optionally link to an external URL, a Page within this site or to a File within this site.


Link Type:
None
URL ( A Link To An External Resource ){This is the option I chose}
Page ( A Page On Your Site )
File ( A File On Your Site )

This feature works in announcement module when using [URL] token.

Hope you have understood what I am saying.

Thanks

Ok. that's what I mean, you can use [READMORE] token. same as [URL] token you are referring. please try that.

I tried using readmore token but it shows read more.... I don't want the read more... to so up. I just want to have a link.

i want to have it as <a href=[READMORE]>[TITLE]</a> something like this. Hope I am clear enough now.

Thanks.

[READMORE] link renders a complete hyperlink which include the text "Read more...".

You can try using the token [READMORELINK]

the readmore link does not work. It generates link with 2 htttp;
http://http//www.google.com

and it does not work at all for the links within the internal site

isn't there a way or fix
where
<a href='[detaillink]'>[TITLE]</a>
or something like this



which works for both internal and external links. Because this is the feature we need in our site most and its the one that is missing. All other features seem to comply with our need.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please edit your article, to change the external URL to: http://www.google.com and it should work.
<a href='[READMORELINK]'>[TITLE]</a>

The problem is you have an external link: http//www.google.com (with a missing :), so the module will append "http://" in front.

And [DETAILLINK] is linking to the detail page, not to the external link you provided. so it is a different token and should not be used here.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for the reply. The [readmorelink] is working now.

so what do i need to do so that the same token works for both the link outside and links for which we created the content? because it seems that readmorelink works only for external link.

Please tell me what I am missing.

Hi,

[READMORELINK] is for the external link.

[DETAILLINK] is for the content you created.
