I got the Dynamic Display Block to work and it's very good looking. However, I am just using it to display different featured content of my website. Featured Blogs, Pictures, etc. So I created content with 'news item'. They load perfectly, but I would like the read more button to link to a DIFFERENT node then the respected 'news item' node. How is this possible?

Thanks

Re: Read More To Link To Blogs, Other Nodes, Etc

Possible solution:

  1. Add an URL Text Field to the content type
  2. Use this field in the preprocess function to link the readmore button to the URL you defined in the URL text field instead of the node itself.

Hope this helps you further. Please let me know.

Hi, very nice module. I basically have the same requirement as above in a slightly different way, that is ... point the read more link to another view I created of the same news_item content type. The reason for this is that I created a "additional_images" field & would like to aggregate both image fields so I can implement lightbox/thickbox/piclens on them in a single shot. Of course if the original field_image would accept multiple images (tried but no go) with the first image to appear in the slideshow, so much the better. Or is this something that can be done with the preprocess functions too?

Thanks Philip & Hi Iren...
