To do that you typically, you have to install the module on two separate pages. One page for the list view and one page for the detail view. Then, on the list page, go into the settings and set the open detail in the detail page.

That's part of my problem ...

I found a setting under "Advanced Display Settings" ... the setting is called: Open article links in another page.

So I pick the new page I created where it could be displayed.

Because this is so different from WordPress, I can't figure out how any article can open "full" on another page.
If I put the module on another page, it runs just like the module ... there are no connections between the module on one page and the module on the other.

My other problem is all I can use is DNN 9 ... not sure if you use it, but it doesn't seem to be very easy to use. DNN 7 is the best version ever!

DNN 9 is mysterious. You can't see anything or find anything. It's all cryptic icons and pop-ups that are not arranged very well.
