Easy...

Disable story summaries (by setting length to 0).

wrong... That just disables the summary, doesn't display the story until the user clicks on the title. I need the story displayed on the front page.

On my site, I have it configured to have '0' summary length and display 2 stories per page.

If you have to have the commenting and stuff on the mainpage as well, you will have to hack the code, although it should be that hard. If a story ID isn't provided, make it pull the last one from the database.

I just wrote some code to do this:

if (empty($story)) {
$sql = "SELECT Rid FROM T_Stories ";
if ($CONF["Moderation"]>0 && empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["phpWebLog"])) {
$sql .= "WHERE Verified = 'Y'";
}
$sql .= "ORDER BY Birthstamp DESC LIMIT 1";

$result = @mysql_query($sql,$db);
$nrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($nrows == 1) {
$A = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$story = $A["Rid"];
}
}

Goes after the includes and before the if(!empty($story)) in stories.php

I hope that does what you want.

I will try that and let you know, thanks!

Well, it mostly works... When you go to stories.php it only displays the headlines (no summary no story). If you click on a Topic it does display no summary and all the stoy. However, if I have a story posted under one topic it suddenly appears in every other topic too.

Check out my site (not quite done yet) to get a better idea of what it's doing. http://www.revolutiontoday.org

I'm going to play a little and post again if I happen to stumble across usefull information.

Thanks

Well, if I go to stories.php and not index.php then it does what I want.... Minus it doesn't respect the users topic selection. No matter what topic you click it gives you all stories. Do you have an idea on how I (being my php deficient self) would get it to respect the topic selection?

Thanks,
Eric

Check that, no matter what topic you click you only get the last story submitted. Hmmm....
