[MOD]Another Simple News Publishing Mod

[TheOracle]

this should hums of to be realigned to have

This has already been reported in the past. Althought, I do not think there's a fix for this yet. There must be a mis-calculated statement from admin/news.php file.

* EDIT *

The error is here :

$limitnumber = "";
  if ($limitnumber == "") {
    $limitnumber = 5000;
  }

[TheOracle]

I did see it. Since you reported this error, I also stated the paragraph that "is" from your file above in the mean time. 

[TheOracle]

Here does nobody have a solution that news.php in acp is differently indicated?

As stated above, the error is about a mis-counted value from the bolded paragraph I mentionned from the quote.

[TheOracle]

It reported user that it with them functioned

I really can't understand what you're trying to say here . . . 

[TheOracle]

Sorry, I did not find a solution for this yet.

This mod allows to use bbcode & html. I mean in setting you have these options.
I added smilies to bbcode and it works as well.

But the only issue is.
While posting a news from ACP, I can’t see any direct option to use bbcode or smilies. I think the statement where it calls bbcode is not there.

Or m I missing Something ??

little idea 

is it posiible to (add) allow (/or not) users comments to  news ?

Or m I missing Something ??

for the moment i think there are no code on this forum to use bbcode (with buttons!) directly in ACP...
perhaps some of the gurus or coders can cure it... but it won't be easy : there is at least 3 codes to implement bbcode on this forum...

Hello,

This mod allows to use html. It works on my main news page, but the archive page doesn't.
I get something like this: <img src="images/v85_001_400.jpg" align="left" vspace=10 hspace=10>
See: http://www.urbanusvolleybal.nl/news.php

How can I solve this?

Now it's working fine by me...

What is the difference between this MOD and the another NEWS MOD , here published too ?

I had an error similar to this

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /var/www/mysite/images/index.php on line 130
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /var/www/mysite/images/index.php on line 130

on line 130 - I found the following line of code

Code: [Select]

"news_archives" => "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."news.php"\" class=\"link\">".$lang['news_archive']."</a>",
when I searched further in the forum, I found a post from TheOracle replying to ID25, who had the same error message that I did. The reply is quoted below.

Makes sense to me :

"news_archives" => "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."news.php"\" class=\"link\">".$lang['news_archive']."</a>",

should be :

Code: [Select]


"news_archives" => "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."news.php")."\" class=\"link\">".$lang['news_archive']."</a>",



Perhaps this should be changed in the original posting.  I too had the same problem as ID25, until I skimmed through and found the solution further down in the post.

I found another problem issue that should be added to the original post for this MOD.

I was unable to save the news settings in ACP > Settings > News

After reading through all the posts, and seeing that ID25 had the same problem that I did, I realized that there was a link to a very bizarre post from TheOracle regarding an Add-on to this module. 

It is here > http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=9059

However, the top post only has the text "--" and several replies from various people.  Within that thread, I found a post from TheOracle which mentions that the SQL updates/instructions is incomplete for this Module.

You must run install_news.php - which IS part of the original post(instructions) for this MOD.

However, you must also execute the following SQL through PHPMyAdmin, which adds 7 rows to the 4images_settings table

Code: [Select]

INSERT IGNORE INTO `4images_settings` (`setting_name`, `setting_value`) VALUES ('news_home_display', '1');
INSERT IGNORE INTO `4images_settings` (`setting_name`, `setting_value`) VALUES ('news_nb', '10');
INSERT IGNORE INTO `4images_settings` (`setting_name`, `setting_value`) VALUES ('news_nb_days', '15');
INSERT IGNORE INTO `4images_settings` (`setting_name`, `setting_value`) VALUES ('news_cutoff', '3');
INSERT IGNORE INTO `4images_settings` (`setting_name`, `setting_value`) VALUES ('news_html', '0');
INSERT IGNORE INTO `4images_settings` (`setting_name`, `setting_value`) VALUES ('news_bbcode', '1');
INSERT IGNORE INTO `4images_settings` (`setting_name`, `setting_value`) VALUES ('news_bbcodeimg', '1');

After adding these to my 4images_settings table, I am able to change and save the news settings through ACP > Settings

This MOD would be easier to install if all the instructions were at the top of the post.

Regards.
