News Box Manager v3.0.0 [Support Thread]

[RoseStar]

For the missing descriptions, edit /includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_news_box_sidebox.php, line 35, correcting the variable name:

        $news_sidebox_content = zen_trunc_string($news_sidebox_content);

That fixed it! Thank you for your time!

@RoseStar, thanks for your patience and applying those corrections. I'll get an update for News Box Manager v3 going.

@RoseStar, thanks for your patience and applying those corrections. I'll get an update for News Box Manager v3 going.

... and I've just submitted v3.1.1 of News Box Manager - v3 for the Zen Cart moderators' review. I'll post back here when it's available for download.

This release contains changes associated with the following GitHub issues:

#25: Clean up multi-use variables, previous settings being applied to follow-on renderings.
#26: Correct MySQL error when home centerbox display uses Categories setting (for strict MySQL installations).
#27: Correcting 'no description included' when a sidebox uses GridTitleDateDesc layout.

Working with 1.5.7c, is it possible to have more than 4 newsboxes? Ideally, I'd like 8 as I have 8 topics I talk about in my newsletters I publish, and this is the online catalog for each section.

Thanks :-)

That looks do-able; I'll get some documentation together to describe how to expand the number of different types of news. That will only affect the news categories, not the number of sideboxes supported.

Cindy, this is great, however is there any way to create an index for the articles?, and how do I get them to come up in a search?
Or a list of the different sections in my footer? www.AmorAromatherapy.com
