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.

The Admin menu not there!

I am running ZC 1.5.5f, 1st I uploaded a new install of the mod v. 2.0.0 and I followed the instructions to the letter. After uploading he admin section I pressed admin home and the green bar comes across the top to confirm the plugin was installed successfully. I then proceeded to install the includes files when I went to Configuration the Configuration->News Box Manager in not there and neither was the Tools->News Box Manager. So I went to Github and downloaded the master version 2.2.1 and completed the steps again, this time the green bar confirmed the upgrade from 2.0.0 to 2.2.1 was successful. Now only the Configuration->News Box Manager is missing. The plug-in works at least as far as making a news article and I was able to set up the side box but without the configuration I can not use all functionality. What can I do to fix it. Here is the link to my practice site where I uploaded it you will see the side box on the bottom left:http://atmospherebooks.com/webstore2...ain_page=index

Hi there i am brand new to Zen Cart (but not web dev) and have been working on this site I inherited for about 2 days. The site has been online and working fine for years, it is not the site that is new. Anyway. I have been tasked with setting up an area for my client to add news to their home page. I thought this looked perfect. I believe I installed everything properly, i got the message that News Box was installed, and i can see and configure it in the admin area. But when I go to add a news item, i get "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again." If I refresh, i get it again. This site uses v1.5.5 and the English language pack. PHP 5.6. There are no new logs since January 2019, so, something is up with logging, too, I fear. Any advice on troubleshooting or even where to start?

Welcome to the Zen Cart forums!

When you view the site's Tools->Server/Version information, does it show perhaps that the site is running on PHP 5.6 FPM? That PHP installation doesn't like to give up control as to where the PHP error-logs are written. Within that Server/Version information, find the error_log setting (which identifies where PHP logs will be written). For the admin, it should show something like c:/xampp/htdocs/mysite/logs/myDEBUG-adm-1555415275-25535.log (that suffix will change on each page reload).

The error logging for zc156 has been modified to take the FPM installations into account, so you might try using the /includes/extra_configures/enable_error_logging.php (and the associated /admin/includes/extra_configures/enable_error_logging) from Zen Cart's GitHub v156 branch (https://github.com/zencart/zencart/tree/v156).

Thank you for replying! So - i have 5.6.21 (Zend: 2.6.0). It tells me the logs are in html/logs - and when I look there, the most recent is Jan 19, 2019. It looks like logging errors is turned ON. Is there something else that has stopped the logging? Does this directory get too full and needs to be cleared out? Or are there really no errors since January?

Looking at the output of that Server/Version tool, what is your setting for disable_functions? Be sure to look in the Local Value column.

Would you post back with a copy/paste of that local value for the error_log directive?

Local value for error_log is: /nfs/c10/h12/mnt/226438/domains/domainame.net/html/logs/myDEBUG-adm-1555446431-966055.log

local value for disable_functions is... "no value"
