request.navid is the UUID of the current navigation node. If none is specified ie. a standard news object, you end up with application.navid.home (the default home node).
Try this:
- choose a navigation folder (sometimes called node or dmnavigation obj)
- open advanced editing options and add a navigation alias of "news"
- add the following line of code near the top of your news display template
<cfparam name="application.navid.news" default="application.navid.home"> <cfset request.navid=application.navid.news>
(note the param is there just as a precaution in case you delete the news node or forget to add it)
This is a simple mechanism that will provide a new navigation location for news content using this template. That is *ALL* news content will use this location. You can certainly get around this too... but that's a lesson for another day.

As far as I have been able to work out - not without writing a bunch of Cold Fusion code to know which node you selected the News item from (and even then I simply decided that it wasn't worth the trouble).
News items all live under the "home" node.

alright, this one is definately a far cry related issue.
I managed my catagories and created a support catagory. Under the support catagory as a test I put a news item about the implementation of farcry.
Now, in my site, I also have a Support Navigation. Under the support navigation, there is an HTML page with support related news along the right hand side.
When I click on the news link for the 'Farcry Implmentation' it opens the News page and gives me the info about making the change. The only problem is, that it is set up as a 'standard' themed page. This puts the little Home > Farcry Implementation navigation at the very top of the message.
With all that said... is there a way to get the news article's location to be presented as Home > Support > Farcry implementation ??
