BTW. The support posts that you can't get at from the front page, aren't accessible by anybody. I believe that they point to an old forum system that no longer exists and that the messages you're getting are misleading and are the current forum's way of saying that it thinks there may have been something here once, but can't find it now - rather than that these have been deliberately closed off.
Hi all,

Hi. I've placed this module on my test WAMP server which is offline.
After trying to make it show on my home page, re-reading what appear to be instructions and Admin controls, I have come to the conclusion that there is some purpose in having the modules to show articles in a sidebox "optional."
How would one find articles without the optional sideboxes? Is this designed for a Google search on the topic?
I have not figured out the purpose of the summary images, etc., but if I have the time to continue, and after I install an "optional" sidebox, maybe I will be able to understand this module.
It would be so nice if someone just explained what this module is designed to do without the sideboxes, and how the titles, summaries, images of titles and summaries, all work.
I thought there would be a function for adding a video to an article, but perhaps that is just done by adding a link somewhere.
Is there some overview that speaks to the people trying to make sense of and use this module in the most optimal manner for SEO?
If I have the time to keep trying to understand it, perhaps it will turn out to be so obvious, but I would certainly share that if I get that far.

Has anyone done any social networking integration? I want to be able to insert ADD THIS so people can put a tidbit of my articles on their social network?
Hi all,
I just installed this on 1.3.9h and I am trying to figure out why I am not seeing any toggles as to whether to use the HTMLArea or fckeditor. Is there a function for this? I do have in Configuration/My Store fckeditor enabled and have even tried the HTMLArea and don't see any changes when trying to add news.
Not sure whats going on here. Everything else seems to be ok other then not seeing any signs of either editors to change font styles, colors, alignment, etc.
THanks much in advance.
Anyone? I am still not able to see any kind of toggles for either fckeditor or the HTMLarea, or is this not a feature for this mod?Quote:

Have you got any tips - i have installed this on two clean installs. Installed the optional files for showing on home page... And still can't get it to show up!!Quote:

Hello everyone, I have used successfully this plug-in version 1.39. Now I upgraded my store to version 1.51 with a new fresh installation. But unfortunately I can not install the patch sql. The error message is: "Error: Nothing to do - no query or query-file specified."
Could someone help me to solve? thanks in advance
I have tried the code that explorer1979 pointed out to show more than one article on the Recent News, it works but the styling of the original is lost. There must be some way of using the original news.php to include more than one article. My PHP knowledge is limited but I am confident I can figure it out if pointed in the right direction... Maybe using the article_id value with a while statement? Any help would be appreciated, I'm just looking for a starting point. Thanks!
Hi Speedwar
I'm still waiting to see if anyone has been able to get this working on 1.50 and nothing yet, so I'm guessing you're having the same problem I'm having with 1.50.
It's installed but there is no option in Admin > Configuration.
Try running "news_authors.php", and "news.php" in your Admin directory by typing in the full path yourdomain/admin-directory/news.php to add new articles, and news posts. I'm using "Links Manager" that way and its working fine. That is as far as I've gotten. In 1.50 there is a "Admin Page Registration" utility to add 3rd party plugins but I haven't figured out what to put into it to register the plugin.
In your 1.5.1 installation did you get any new settings for News & Article Management? Also, did you install the optional Sidebox?
I'll let you know if I find a way to use the "Admin Page Registration" utility, I think that is the key to being able to use this on 1.50 and above.
Thanks,
Gary
Installed it - not a clue how to enter my .xml code for the rss feed or where or what file to put this in or where to find it, nothing appears on my site and I cannot find anyway to make this work.
Hey pretty dumb
Did you follow the install info in the docs folder of your ZIP file? After following the installation instructions located in the _docs subfolder everything came up as expected for me. You should be able to add articles under the Catalog drop down menu in your admin, and settings are under the Configuration dropdown.
I've installed this feature, but when I try to get any of the options I'm getting empty results. For instance, I try to get the feed for new products and I'm getting it empty but when looking for new products on the site I get a huge list of them...
What can I do?
Hi all, having installed the mod, went onto install the sideboxes but keep getting this error on installing the sql.
2 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot execute because table configuration, does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!
Warning Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
Have look through this thread and others but it does not seem to be specifically answered.
The News & Articles and the sideboxes have installed but the instruction in the doc files where it says:
4.Setup News Sidebox Scroller configuration at Admin → Configuration → News & Articles Management (notice new entries that begin with "News Sidebox Scroller")
There isn't any new entries for the sideboxes. Any ideas, thanks.
Hi - Just wondering if anyone has this working with version 1.5.1 ?
Hello to everyone,
I'm posting a solution to those using ZenCart 1.5.x and getting errors during sql installation. I'm also posting a solution to those who don't see this module in admin area.
Run the attached modified sql file. I assigned the configuration group id 65, so check first if any other module isn't using the same id (otherwise you'll get an error). You can check it in your database or simply try to access link when logged in admin yoursite.com/YourAdmin/configuration.php?gID=65 and if you don't see any options, you can run the sql. If you see options for some module, simply replace every "65" in the attached sql file with the number that isn't using any module.
Now replace
in admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/news.phpCode:define('BOX_CATALOG_NEWS_ARTICLES', 'News & Articles - Articles');
define('BOX_CATALOG_NEWS_AUTHORS', 'News & Articles - Authors');
with
Now you should be able to install and also see the configuration under Admin-Configuration-New & Articles Management. You can add articles and authors under Admin-Tools-News & Articles Management and Admin-Tools-News & Articles AuthorsCode:define('BOX_CONFIGURATION_NEWS_ARTICLES_MANAGEMENT', 'News & Articles Management');
define('BOX_TOOLS_NEWS_ARTICLES', 'News & Articles - Articles');
define('BOX_TOOLS_NEWS_AUTHORS', 'News & Articles - Authors');
For those who got it installed with original sql but don't see it in admin, make the code replacement above and then find out what configuration group ID is using the module. Check it in database or simply go to Admin-Configuration-New & Articles Management and have a look at the link in your browser. It should look like this yoursite.com/YourAdmin/configuration.php?gID=XX where XX is the configuration group id. Now put this number instead of XX in gID=XX to the following sql query:
Now run this query in Admin-Tools-Install SQL Patches.Code:# Register the page for Admin Access Control
INSERT INTO admin_pages (page_key,language_key,main_page,page_params,menu_key,display_on_menu,sort_order)
VALUES ('configNewsArticlesManagement','BOX_CONFIGURATION_NEWS_ARTICLES_MANAGEMENT','FILENAME_CONFIGURATION','gID=XX','configuration','Y',65);
INSERT INTO admin_pages (page_key,language_key,main_page,page_params,menu_key,display_on_menu,sort_order)
VALUES ('toolsNewsArticles','BOX_TOOLS_NEWS_ARTICLES','FILENAME_NEWS','gID=XX','tools','Y',66);
INSERT INTO admin_pages (page_key,language_key,main_page,page_params,menu_key,display_on_menu,sort_order)
VALUES ('toolsNewsAuthors','BOX_TOOLS_NEWS_AUTHORS','FILENAME_NEWS_AUTHORS','gID=XX','tools','Y',67);

VALUES ('toolsNewsAuthors','BOX_TOOLS_NEWS_AUTHORS','FILENAME_NEWS_AUTHORS','gID=1021', 'tools','Y',67);
But, now when I hoover the mouse over Admin > Configuration > News & Articles Management it shows the gID=1021. And, when I open it show Title Value and Action and everything else is blank.
When, I hoover over Tools > News & Articles - Articles, or Authors it shows the gId=XX
If I click on either of them I get "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again." and part of the page displayed.
Oh, I get that same error message when I run the Modified SQL file.
What have I missed?
Thanks,
Long shot as I know support for this plugin is close to dead.
My website (http://www.rentgen.co.uk) is currently using this plugin along with Ceon URI Mapping. I'm pretty happy with it except for one thing - I'd really like to know how/if it's possible to convert the News URLs to the ones used by the rest of the site via CEON URI Mapping. And additionally - add news pages to the main sitemap (both user and xml)
I attempted to implement Wordpress in Zencart previously but it didn't seem to recognise any implementation - furthermore CEON URI seemed to make the dir for Wordpress a bit dodgy in it's own right.
I'm also wondering if there're any other news/article/blog plugins that are SEO compliant or allow URI mapping?
Just read somewhere that you can manually insert data into the database so that has helped for the time being.
As for the sitemap, additionally any method of being able to use the RSS as an individual XML file, as well as adding news pages to the user sitemap (organised in date?) would be much appreciated.
Hey guys, ok - so I know no one supports this module pretty much. Which sucks, because I can't seem to find any method to display blog/news posts aside from this and a Wordpress hack. Anyway, it's working fine except for one thing - now it won't display the summary module on the front page. I've not even made any changes to the site and it's just... gone.
Hi when I installed the plugin and go to view my blog posts there seems to be an error with the css scripit http://www.smlhygiene.co.uk/index.ph...e&article_id=1 I am running zen care 1.39H
Hello,i used 1.5.4 with image handler 5.0 and zen lightbox,installed the rss 2.1.5/6 or 2.4.2,but when i set Generate Products Images "true",then it display error:
[23-Mar-2018 02:33:33 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function notify() on null in /home/getappreal/public_html/includes/modules/abagon/main_product_image.php:19

and when set "fales"
it work fine.
Why
That's because this plugin is including the updated main_product_image.php module in a function context, so that the $zco_notifier variable isn't visible.Quote:

Code:$GLOBALS['zco_notifier']->
Ok,it work now,thanksQuote:

Hi folks!
Zen Cart: v1.5.5e
I got everything installed (I think) and I ran the SQL scripts (took some finagling). I've got 2 issues:
1) I enabled CKeditor. When I try to edit or add content to a new article, it looks like this when I try to submit:
Attachment 18004.
It won't show the content at all. For "fun" I entered some text in the "news_article_shorttext" field and that shows up when I try to edit it in the article. When I try to submit it, it goes back to the image above.
2) When I view a news article, I see the subject, the byline, and then it skips the article text entirely and goes to the HR and then the articleLinkList. Attachment 18005.
If you want to see it in action, it's here: http://www.sanefcs.com/catalog/?main_page=news. If you check out the page source, you can see where the article text is being skipped. I don't know PHP well enough to know what's wrong. The best I can do is find where the articleText function is defined, but I can't understand what it's doing.
Any thoughts?
Hi All,
I'm running this mod on ZC1.5.5e. The trouble I've been having is that quotes (") and other characters are being converted to "e;... etc... This also happens with some configuration options for other mods. This does not happen with order comments, product entry etc. I've never been able to get to the bottom of it. Now, it's driving me nuts.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
John
The characters are being 'sanitized' by the Zen Cart 1.5.5a+ admin's processing. If you were running zc156 or later, I'd suggest the updated version of the plugin.
I'm in the middle of some stuff right now, but either later today or tomorrow I'll post an admin/includes/extra_datafiles 'solution' to that issue.
Hey Lat. That would be great. Thank you! I think I upgraded to 1.5.5 from 1.5.1 in the 2017 time frame. The news module worked fine before then. Like i said, there are also a few other mods who act up this way when changing config values. I'll look to see if I can fix them after I get a look at your extra_datafiles solution.
Thanks again,
John
John, I just took a peek at v2.2.1 of the News Box Manager - v2 (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1968) noting that it's got its own support thread. That version of the plugin includes the required sanitization script for zc155a and later.
I've had to do this before! I'll have to do it some more. lol. Awesome. Thank you.
Best,
John
