[opencms-dev] Re: need help on News Module

[Stephan Hartmann]

Hi Rene,

attached is an adapted demo from the old version. You have to import it via 
database administration. Call the newsOverview.html from the module's doc 
directory. This will show a list of the entries from Channel2. Clicking on 
the title will show the single news entry.

Bye,
Stephan
