Hi could you tell me how to show content summary on home page and a link read more so that it  can be linked to a Detailed page

 

 

the Box shud come liek this

Summary with a read more link can i t be dynamically done?

Yes, you can nest an asset listing which lists another kind of asset, such as News Items. That way you can dynamically change the HTML on your homepage with updated assets.

Depends on the type of the content you have, but you can apply a metadata schema to your content to give it a summary & caption that you could bring out with the asset listing no matter what type it is.

 

Or if you want to do a dodgy you could use %asset_contents^striphtml^maxwords:30% or something similar to generate your summaries - a metadata schema would be the nicer way to do it though.

My doubt is I have created a news item unders News folder  and then asset listing page "Featured" having the %asset_attribute_summary% etc but it is not showing in the asset listing page when taken in frontend .It shows no results found rather than listing the caption,summary and read more link

 

I have given the root node as the folder News in which the News item resides , WHy this happens ? any help

And you have configured the Asset Listing correctly with the root pointing to where the News Item asset is, and configured the Asset Listing to list News Item assets?

yes , but it is working fine now since i changed  the root node to my webSite , it shoud have worked if you have configured with the root pointing to where the News Item asset is.
