News Box Manager v2.0.0 [Support Thread]

[lat9]

v2.1.0 is now available for download:

• Add configuration switches to control article content display on home-page and news_archive page.
• Update language file
• Correct admin-side processing when an error is detected during an article's save/insert action.

v2.1.0 is compatible with Zen Cart v1.5.5!

Hi, I tried to install this on Zen Cart v1.5.5, but after installing the admin files only as per instruction, I pressed the 'Admin Home' link in my admin header, but an error message appeared and I couldn't get any further. Refreshing didn't help.

"WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again."

So I deleted the files, and all was working again. Does this mean that it's not compatible with v1.5.5 therefore?

I don't know what "error" was being reported, so can't help much. If you look in your /logs folder, there will be a couple of files named myDEBUG-adm-*.log. One of them will contain the details of the error you experienced.

If you post a log's contents, use the "CODE" tags (the big # in the menu-bar when you're writing your post) and make sure to xxx-out your admin folder's name.

Hi, I have News Box Manager version 2.1.0 (2015-03-31) installed on Zen Cart version v1.5.5a but all html tags are being converted to html entities when saved to the database box_news_content table e.g. <p> becomes &lt;p and <strong> becomes &lt;strong&gt; ...etc

This happens with both Plain Text and CKEditor and only happens in News Box Manager, all other editing instances such as products, category descriptions, banners, define pages, etc are unaffected and work as normal.

Any help to resolve this would be helpful?

Thanks

Have you updated ZC 1.5.5a with these security patches: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....80#post1311680

Thanks for the quick reply.

I updated the sanitize files but no change in the html entities issue.

If I edit the database and add the correct html to news_content then it displays correctly when previewing or editing the news item but as soon as update is pressed the html tags are converted back to html entities again.
