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.

@lmrsdn, this issue is being tracked on the plugin's GitHub repository: https://github.com/lat9/news_box_manager/issues/4

v2.1.1 has just been submitted to the Zen Cart plugins for review, adding an admin-level sanitization script so that the "htmlentities" in an article's title and/or contents aren't improperly converted.

v2.1.1 is now available for download from the Zen Cart plugins: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1968

I love news box manager and am using it on a clients site here. We use it to show upcoming scheduled classes. The problem we have is: This program labels the date when the news item is submitted. We would really love to select the date shown on the image, instead of it showing the date the item is submitted but don't know how to do this.

For instance we have this class which starts on January 7th. But the date that is labeled onto this is December 13, 2016 which is the date the news item was created. This is confusing to our visitors as the date the item was created is not the best date for us to display (that would be the class date). I know we can likely hide this date via CSS but is it possible to display a date we determine? The date of the actual class in the future yet still show the news item?

@sportsguy, I don't think that's as-distributed behavior. The "more_news" page should show the starting date (and ending date, if specified) as its header. Check for any customizations you've made to /includes/modules/pages/more_news/header_php.php.

You'd include the image for the post as an <img src="image_name_here" alt="something" /> tag in the post's description, if you use the TEXT editor in the admin. If you use an HTML editor, then you'd use your editor's 'image' control.
