News Box Manager v2.0.0 [Support Thread]

[CottageOven]

Okay. I found it. Basically, I was expecting to see a news box that just didn't have any news in it, since I hadn't entered any news yet (because I had spent all that time looking for a toggle for the news box for the main page).

So, DUH! Of course, When I finally went ahead and entered a test news article, it showed up in the center box of the main page, as it should.

Thanks for your reply.

Now, is there any way just to have the news articles appear, in full, without having them as a table with "Click an article's title ..." - IOW, more like a blog (without being a full blog)?

You might want to go the the Configuration >> News Box Manager menu to see all the bells and whistles. What you are probably looking for is the content length. If you have the entire length, there's no need to click.

The beauty of open source is that you can make it do what you want.

Been there. I have it set for full articles. Yes, there is no NEED to click, but all the stuff ABOUT clicking is still there. May just have to dig into the code. I want only the articles to appear - not the table showing the date, not the "Click an article's title...," not even the box saying "Latest news" - just the content.

It'll get there. At least now I know it IS working.

You didn't copy the file stylesheet_news_box_manager.css to your live site's /includes/responsive_classic_v1/css sub-directory.

Hi Cindy - just some positive feedback - in recently utilizing this plugin and regularly posting home page news there has been a good positive SEO impact in improved search.

So many thanks - anything that improves search is invaluable.

cheers,
Mike

I'd love to be able to 'split' the table to double the number of posts :)

Mike, thanks for the good-news follow-up! I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say 'split' the table; could you elaborate?
