Show News Title instead of description on the Home Page

I'd like to only show the Title of a news item on the homepage rather than the description. If possible it might be nice to show a small snippet of of the description as well - Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? Thanks so much!

Look at today_news.tpl - {$news_message.body|truncate:150} the number represents how many character to show from the news itself. Try {$news_message.subject} for title

I have been trying to get this working on my site and this method is not working. Is there anything else I Can try?

Thanks much in advance.

I see that you are using v 4.3.x . . . it appears they have changed the template employed on the home page to display news.

They are now using: skin1/customer/news.tpl

Edit line 25 to look like this:

Code:

{$news_message.body|truncate:150}<br /><br />
