News & Article Management [Support]

After I installed the module, I found there are two "News & Article Management" under the configuration. How can I get rid of one? The site is www.best4future.com

Thank you!

I installed the News Ticker Sidebox (scrolling). But the sidebox title link is http://www.best4future.com/news/archive. The correct link should http://www.best4future.com/news_archive. How to edit it to the right link? Thanks!

hi there
i have tried and tried to get this news feed working and looking the way it should but i keep getting the following result, where the news feed site box the text is all going outside the box, it is scrolling to the top then the text does not scroll back round for a lengthy period. i have seen the link on http://www.truwater.com.au/news
it runs really smooth and look good, any ideas?

kind regards

rob

This mod is installed on a site with an SSL certificate, and the whole site is secure except the news page. I've gone through every article and there are none with http links. If only one article is enabled, the page displays fine and shows that article and it is secure. If more then one article is enabled, the page then shows the links to the various articles and is no longer secure. This is the page link: https://www.ellebelleuk.com/index.php?main_page=news

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks!

I have narrowed this down to this bit of code in includes/pages/news/main_template_vars.php:

if ($date_selector_array[1]['date']) {
$news_footer = $db->Execute("select n.article_id, nt.news_article_name from " . TABLE_NEWS_ARTICLES . " n left join " . TABLE_NEWS_ARTICLES_TEXT . " nt on n.article_id = nt.article_id and nt.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' where n.news_status = '1' and n.news_date_published = '" . $date_selector_array[1]['date'] . "' order by n.sort_order");
if ($news_footer->RecordCount() > 0) {
$news_footer_array = array();
while (!$news_footer->EOF) {
$news_footer_array[] = array(
'link' => zen_href_link(FILENAME_NEWS_ARTICLE, 'article_id=' . $news_footer->fields['article_id']),
'text' => stripslashes($news_footer->fields['news_article_name']),
);

$news_footer->MoveNext();
}

$newsFooterDate = zen_date_long($date_selector_array[1]['date']);
$newsFooterDateURL = zen_href_link(FILENAME_NEWS_INDEX, 'date=' . substr($date_selector_array[1]['date'], 0, 10));
$newsFooter = $news_footer_array;
}
}

if ($date_selector_array[2]['date']) {
$recent_footer_array = array();
for ($i=2; $i<sizeof($date_selector_array); $i++) {
$recent_footer_array[] = array(
'link' => zen_href_link(FILENAME_NEWS_INDEX, 'date=' . substr($date_selector_array[$i]['date'], 0, 10)),
'text' => zen_date_long($date_selector_array[$i]['date']),
);
}

$newsRecentFooter = $recent_footer_array;
}

I have tried playing around with that code but I have no idea why it's affecting the SSL. If I remove that piece of code from the file, there are no past news links at the bottom and the page displays securely.

Ahhh figured it out, the web designer left image links in the news css file that were hard-coded to the web designer's website. Once I fixed those, the security warnings disappeared!

I had this mod working with admin area. But went back to add new article and the content section is missing. It has the words to the left, but no box to input and no header with bold, fonts, etc. I do have it on the summary part.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix?:frusty:

Thanks, Kim

Would it be with the sql? Maybe I missed something when I loaded sql?

has this mod now ceased??

The dream scope website with the install instructions etc is now offline and all the support post as listed on page one have all be cloded and deleted by zencart admins.

We use it on client sites. But I've just realised that we went back and forked it from a point before that guy started hard-coding links to his own site in the mod.

I'll see if we can split out the code that we use, I think there may have been some other fixes in there too and update the mod.
