I wish to change the number of stories displayed on the front page of my site and anyone given time from 5 to 3.
What file or files do I need to edit?
I have tried editing the modules/NS-Settings/admin.php file, which appeared to be the one that I would want to change, but having edited it, and having changed my settings in the administraion panel/Settings panel from 5 to 3, it still displays more than 3 stories at a time.
Any ideas? |

You also need to reset that number for all registered members.
When a person registers, it sets that number in their profile, so even after you make a change it still is set for them. |

Well, I found this after I asked the question:
look in My Account - it is your user setting overriding what is in admin>settings
But, how do I reset the number for all users, if that is possible? |

I always just run SQL update queries to do stuff like that.
You would need PHPMyAdmin installed though.
I do this to change the themes to a new one on my sites that I allow visitors to preview themes on as well.  |

| I have access to PHPMyAdmin. I am just not very familiar with it. |

your you could edit the ns-settings module and give more options like i had to do now i can set it so when people are not log'd in only 1 news item shows (ty to postnuke helpers)
marz do you know how to remove the option for people to set the number of news items they see and to have it allways at 1? |

Mars,
Since I am using AutoTheme now, how do I get rid of the stories displayed on my front page, and only display the story titles/headlines? |

| Well, that worked, except it placed the story headlines side by side, insteadof one on top of the other. |

Thanks, Mars. I managed to fiddle around with it, and figured it out. But, I eventually opted for something a little different, and decided to have them scroll.
I just wish I could get them to scroll with one after another, but it automatically places them one above the other, and scrolls them all at the same time.
I went with the scroll effect, in the hope that site users will notice the stories more, and then click on them.
Again, much appreciated, though. I had come back just now to post to you that I figured it out, but you beat me to it, it seems. |
