How to direct story title in summary page to the original story?

[chris79]

Hi all,

This is what I want:
1) When user clicks on the story title in the index page, it will be directed to the story summary page.
2) From the story summary page, when the user clicks on the story title again, it will be directed to the original story site.

This is what I've done:
1) I swapped {$url} with {$story_url} in link_summary.tpl , now it is directing the click to the story summary page.
2) but when I come to the story summary page, the clicking on the story title doesn't direct me to the original story site. I've tried looking for the codes in link_summary.tpl & story.php, but I have no idea which one to modify.

Please advise
Your expertise is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Ok put everything back

Not sure what you want, but if what you want is that when in the index pages the story goes to the Original story link

go to Admin >> Configure >> Story

Find and change the following

Use story title as link
description: Use the story title as link to story's website.
value: false
default value: false
expected values: true / false

To True and should do the trick for ya..

Remember to put back the other thing if thats what you want.
