how to completely REMOVE links from the title in the full story page?

[VictorML]

I have my site set, so that when you're in the "published" page (viewing the summaries of all the stories), if you click the title of the story, it will take you to the 'full story' page. Everything alright.

But now, in the 'full story' page, when the user clicks on the story title again, I DON'T want it to link to the source site! I'd like that link removed, or maybe be an "auto-link" to the full story again.

My intention is to leave the link to the source site ONLY in the URL that appears next to the title.

This way, if there's no URL (editorial), there's no link at all. And if there is, the link will be in the URL, but not ni the story title.

How can I do this? I've been trying to edit story.php and some template files too, but all without success.

Also, if I submit no URL, the title will link to something like "www.mysite.com/1", which is frustrating. I've tried other solutions in the forum about this but they don't seem to work for me. How could I remove this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm really getting lots of problems to make this run.

What I usually do for an editorial is set it to my url off the bat, "www.mysite.com." After it is published that editorial will be given a new url with the title you entered. For instance, http://www.mysite.com/story.php?titl...make-ice-cream. Then I use the admin settings to change the url of the editorial. It is a little work but I don't write than many editorials. If this is done correctly the links should take you right back to the that specific editorial. Hope this helps.

Hmm... thanks for your reply. But this is not a very good solution to me, as I plan on writing lots of editorials (but with some linked articles too) and I would need it done automatically.

I'm sure there must be something that can be edited to just completely remove the link from the title (in such a way that only the actual source URL acts as a link, not the title). Maybe some template file that can be changed?? I've been looking at the different files (story_center.tpl being one of them), but I can't seem to find it?

Or maybe it would be possible to just make it so that every title systematically points to the full story again?

Any help please?

To remove the link when the story is viewed in full (page = story) change the following in /templates/yourtemplate/link_summary.tpl
Remove the code in RED

<div class="top"> 
  <div class="toptitle" id="ls_thetitle-{$link_shakebox_index}">
   {if $use_title_as_link eq true}
    {if $url_short neq "http://" && $url_short neq "://"}
     <a href="{$url}" {if $open_in_new_window eq true} target="_blank"{/if}>{$title_short}</a>
    {else}
     <a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>
    {/if}
       {else}
    {if $pagename eq "story"}
     <a href="{$url}">{$title_short}</a>
    {else} 
      <a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>
    {/if}
   {/if}        
  </div>

Wow... thanks a lot! That was exactly what I was looking for, but I didn't know which file to edit.

I think I'll play around a lot with link_summary.tpl until I customize everything to my taste :D

Cya!
