News Box Manager v3.0.0 [Support Thread]

[Nick1973]

That screenshot helped a bunch, Nick.

The issue is that the same variable names are being used for both the sidebox and page-content rendering, so the selected article's name was being overwritten by that left-side sidebox. I've opened this (https://github.com/lat9/news_box_manager_v3/issues/23) issue on the plugin's GitHub repository to track to change required.

Note that the change is to /includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_news_box_sidebox.php, so if you've made a template-override version you'll need to merge your changes with the subsequent update.

Cool. All seems to be working correctly now. Thank you very much Cindy :-)

Thanks for the confirmation, Nick. That correction will be part of the forthcoming v3.0.5 of News Box Manager v3.

Cool. In the meantime I can start blogging with Zen Cart now instead of having to use a separate blogging platform. I can see this module in particular having massive potential for store owners that blog to drive traffic through to their stores.

Yep, a combination of this and the Zen Product Tags (https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....upport-Thread) plugin can make a Zen Cart independent of a separate blogging platform.

Even cooler

I'm just adding this to my site now. This also creates huge benefits for SEO as search engines can then follow each tag, which can of course be a researched keyword or search term.
