[preview]value[/preview]
Placing this anywhere in an article defines text that will only show on Newsdisplay. Text contained in this tag completely replaces the post text on Newsdisplay. Multiple [preview] tags are cumulative. A "Read More..." link will appear if this tag is used.

[more]value[/more]
Placing this anywhere in an article defines text that will only show on Shownews. Text contained in this tag does not replace the post text on Shownews. It only hides text from Newsdisplay.

why?
I want download file it. and I want see demo

I'll upload screenshots in a few minutes :D

i must be using 3.62? or 3 ... it wont let me install.. other hacks i can still install, but this one is being a skank.... i'd like to check it out, if you code it to accept my settingss

Okay, I didn't think people would be PREVENTED from installing it if they had lower, I will downgrade the version requirement to 3.6.0 for the next update. I already found an annoying visual error with the SHOWNEWS template, so it will be soon!

Waiting for the Demo :)

Same :)

Looks great :) Waiting for the changes.
