Position of an active item - This determines which articles are displayed. If set to 'Fixed', the same articles for each page of articles are displayed. For example, if you have the CMS set to display 3 articles, and you are viewing article #1 of 6, the announce of articles #2 and #3 will display on article #1's full detail. When moving to article #3, the announce of articles #1 and #2 are displayed, as #1-#3 are in the same grouping (since the number of articles displayed is 3). Articles #4-#6 would be grouped similarly. If set to 'unknown', articles will dynamically regroup themselves, based on the integer provided to 'unknown'. The number provided determines where in the list of article announces the main article being viewed is in relation to. For example, if the number provided to 'unknown' is 2, and the amount of articles being displayed is set to 3, article #4 would have the announces of articles #3 and #5 displayed, making #4 the 2nd item logically in the list. If the number for 'unknown' is set to 1 instead, article announces for articles #5 and #6 would display instead because that would make article #4 the 1st in the list. If set to 3, article announces for articles #2 and #3 would display because that would make #4 the 3rd in the list. Inputting 'unknown' requires a textbox which determines what position neighboring articles are put in below the details of the current article.
