    I really love the Wordpress blog style. I’ve already found the permalink snippet and it works great for document titles. It would be nice if i could add this to the [+title+] of the summarized articles as well. Is this possible in any way?

      You sure can. It would mean just wrapping the Headline in an A tag in the code I think.

        My knowledge of php is very, very basic. I tried to find the headline in the code, but i do not understand how it’s generated.
        I thought this was the part, but i didn’t succeed in altering the code.

        $summary = $resource[$x]['introtext'];

          Here you are:

          Directions:

          1. Get the newest version of NewsListing from http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,1235.0.html.

          2. Create new chunk called NewsListingTemplate

          3. Insert the following:
              <div class="summaryPost">
        <h3><a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+title+]</a></h3>
        <div>[+summary+]</div>
        <p>    [+link+]</p>
        <div style="text-align:right;">by <strong>[+author+]</strong> on [+date+]</div>
    </div>


          4. Then add &tpl=`NewsListingTemplate` to the snippet call

            Thank you! I actually understand what happens laugh I tried this myself but I couldn’t figure out what to link, I thought a specific id was needed. You just made me very happy!

              Actually the A should go inside the H3... but otherwise very cool!
