I have see in this form that some people have been wondering how to get the Announcement module to behave similarly to that of the Blog module with respect to having a teaser list with links to the full announcement. Having wanted the same functionality and not finding the answer here I decided to see what I could come up with.

I should note that I have just started to work with DotNetNuke as the company I work for recently purchased it and we will be rolling out a site later this year. So I am a bit of a DotNetNuke newbie.

1. Create a page with the Announcement Module and add a few test announcements.
2. Open the Announcement Module settings and expand Advanced Settings.
3. In the Header add this code:
   
   <script type="text/javascript">
   function querySt(ji) {
       hu = window.location.search.substring(1);
       gy = hu.split("&");
       for (i = 0; i < gy.length; i++) {
           ft = gy[i].split("=");
           if (ft[0] == ji) {
               return ft[1];
           }
       }
   }
   </script>
    
4. In the Footer add this code:
   
   <script type="text/javascript">
       var myId = querySt('ItemId');
       var IId = '#ITEMID' + myId;
       $(document).ready(function() {
           if (myId == undefined) {
               $('[id^=ITEMID]').show();
           } else {
               $('[id^=ITEMID]').hide();
               $(IId).show();
           }
       });
   </script>
    
5. Expand Page Settings and Allow Syndicate.
6. Expand Announcements Settings and add a <div id="ITEMID[ITEMID]"> around the Item Template table like this:
   
   <div id="ITEMID[ITEMID]">
   <table>
   <tr><td>[IMAGESOURCE]</td><td valign="top"><span class="SubHead">[EDIT][TITLE] - [PUBLISHDATE]</span>
   <hr/>
   <div class="Normal DNN_ANN_Description">[DESCRIPTION]&nbsp;[READMORE]</div></td></tr></table>
   </div>
    
7. Update.
8. Click on the RSS icon now under the Announcement Module and you should get a new browser window, with IE anyways, with the default RSS IE viewer. Copy the URL.
9. Now add the Newsfeeds Module to your front page, new page, or wherever and Edit Newsfeeds.
10. Click Add Feed and paste the URL you just copied into Feed Url. For testing set the Cache Time to zero (0). Update, Update.
11. You should now see a list of items from the Announcement Module with the titles as links.
12. Click on one and you should see that only that announcement is showing on the corresponding page. If you visit the page and there is no ?ItemId=XX in the URL then all announcements should be visible as normal.

1. When adding announcements watch the date and time. If they are in the future they will not show up until then.
2. If you don’t like the way the RSS displays the news then edit the /DesktopModules /News/Transformations/Default.xsl or create a new xsl and select it from the Newsfeed settings.
3. Once you’re up and running you may want to change the Cache Time in the Newsfeed to something other than zero (0) to cut down on requests.

I found it in the xsl file.  Use {guid} instead of {link}.

I haven't been able to get this to work. I'm extremely new query strings, so a detailed explanation would do wonders. "Item Id" is a little confusing. also any ideals on how to have links in rss go directly to the page the full article is on. If that's whats happening here please excuse my ignorance. However any additional info would help
