[MOD]Another Simple News Publishing Mod

In the mean time, which version of 4images do you have ?

Latest - 1.7.1

[TheOracle]

That's what I thought. I'm still using v1.7. Perhaps some corrections needs to be done from that general news function, from admin/settings.php file, in order to process the information properly.

Are you going to revise?

[TheOracle]

I'm sorry. I do not have this type of capabilities yet. Also, like I said, I do not run 4images v1.71 but 1.7.

OK, then we are going to wait for the author

The part you're looking for to modify is this :

function show_news_display_options($setting_name, $setting_value) {
  global $news_display_optionlist;
  foreach ($news_display_optionlist as $key => $val) {
    echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"setting_item[".$setting_name."]\" value=\"$key\"";
    if ($setting_value == $key) {
      echo "checked=\"checked\"";
    }
    echo ">".$val."<br />";
  }
}

from admin/settings.php file.

I am no PHP coder

But is it possible that I move the news section to the topmost part of the frontpage (before categories)?

If you mean in the album itself, and not in the ACP, of course you can.

You could even simply move the news tag from your templates/<your_template>/home.html file on top of the categories tag.

WOW! It worked. Thanks  One more question Is there any mod that adds a similar block to the left sidebar? Like "Links" block

[TheOracle]

Links ... you mean like : "Headlines" ?

[Xaero]

Yes, but small and in the left sidebar

[TheOracle]

In that case, Please read the last steps in the first post of this topic.

[Xaero]
