Hi! I just installed the news & article management. Good stuff, thank you! I have two questions.

The bit that says Recent Zen Cart News is rather huge, and it gets overlapped by the date bar. Can you tell me what I need to edit in the stylesheet to fix that?

Also, how do I change 'Recent Zen Cart News' to something more appropriate for my site?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I was having the same problem with FCKeditor as many of you so i took a look at the code. This is for zen 1.3.7, i don't know if it's retro compatible.

You need to change the file /admin/news.php

Find (around line 205):

Code:

// HTML Editors support
if (HTML_EDITOR_PREFERENCE == 'FCKEDITOR') {
	require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'fckeditor.php');
} elseif (HTML_EDITOR_PREFERENCE == 'HTMLAREA') {
	require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'htmlarea.php');
}

and replace with:

Code:

// HTML Editors support
if ($_SESSION['html_editor_preference_status']== "FCKEDITOR") {
	require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'fckeditor.php');
} elseif ($_SESSION['html_editor_preference_status']== "HTMLAREA") {
	require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'htmlarea.php');
}

Find (around line 366):

Code:

if (HTML_EDITOR_PREFERENCE == 'FCKEDITOR') {
	echo '<td class="dataTableContent" align="left" colspan="4">';
	$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor;
	$oFCKeditor->Value = (($news_article_shorttext[$lang['id']]) ? stripslashes($news_article_shorttext[$lang['id']]) : news_get_news_article_shorttext($nInfo->article_id, $lang['id']));
	$oFCKeditor->CreateFCKeditor('news_article_shorttext[' . $lang['id'] . ']', '100%', '130') ;  //instanceName, width, height (px or %)
	echo '</td>';
} elseif (HTML_EDITOR_PREFERENCE == 'HTMLAREA') {

and replace with:

Code:

if ($_SESSION['html_editor_preference_status']=='FCKEDITOR') {
	echo '<td class="dataTableContent" align="left" colspan="4">';
                $oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('news_article_shorttext[' . $lang['id']  . ']') ;
	$oFCKeditor->Value = (($news_article_shorttext[$lang['id']]) ? stripslashes($news_article_shorttext[$lang['id']]) : news_get_news_article_shorttext($nInfo->article_id, $lang['id']));
	$oFCKeditor->Width  = '97%' ;
                $oFCKeditor->Height = '150' ;
	$output = $oFCKeditor->CreateHtml() ;
	echo '<br />' . $output . '</td>';
} elseif ($_SESSION['html_editor_preference_status']=='HTMLAREA') {

Find (around line 386)

Code:

if (HTML_EDITOR_PREFERENCE == 'FCKEDITOR') {
	echo '<td class="dataTableContent" align="left" colspan="4">';
	$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor;
	$oFCKeditor->Value = (($news_article_text[$lang['id']]) ? stripslashes($news_article_text[$lang['id']]) : news_get_news_article_text($nInfo->article_id, $lang['id']));
	$oFCKeditor->CreateFCKeditor('news_article_text[' . $lang['id'] . ']', '100%', '250') ;  //instanceName, width, height (px or %)
	echo '</td>';
} elseif (HTML_EDITOR_PREFERENCE == 'HTMLAREA') {

and replace with:

Code:

if ($_SESSION['html_editor_preference_status']=='FCKEDITOR') {
	echo '<td class="dataTableContent" align="left" colspan="4">';
                $oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('news_article_text[' . $lang['id']  . ']') ;
	$oFCKeditor->Value = (($news_article_text[$lang['id']]) ? stripslashes($news_article_text[$lang['id']]) : news_get_news_article_text($nInfo->article_id, $lang['id']));
	$oFCKeditor->Width  = '97%' ;
                $oFCKeditor->Height = '400' ;
	$output = $oFCKeditor->CreateHtml() ;
	echo '<br />' . $outtut . '</td>';
} elseif ($_SESSION['html_editor_preference_status']=='HTMLAREA') {

That should do it!
Best regards to the zen community!

Thank you for posting the fix. Would you be so kind to please attached the changed news.php file to this thread?

**rikreations** · 10 May 2007, 06:49 PM

I found another error that was making my news edit page take almost 5 minutes to show.

Everytime you want to insert or edit an article, the "Store product link" gets all the products from the database. I have 12 languages in my store (s) and almost 600 products.

The problem is that the 1st language was getting 600 produtcs, the 2nd language 1200, the 3rd 1800 products and so on... when the page finished loading i had 46800 product links in dropdown menus on a single page.

A big problem with an easy solution

Find:

Code:

$dropdown_products = $db->Execute("select p.products_id, pd.products_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where pd.products_id = p.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$lang['id'] . "' order by pd.products_name");
$dropdown_products_array[] = array(
	'id' => '', 
	'text' => TEXT_PLEASE_SELECT,
	);
while (!$dropdown_products->EOF) {
	$dropdown_products_array[] = array(
		'id' => $dropdown_products->fields['products_id'],
		'text' => $dropdown_products->fields['products_name'],
		);
	$dropdown_products->MoveNext();
	}

and move it before:

Code:

foreach ($languages as $i => $lang) {

This way it's outside the loop!

I'm attaching the file "news.php" in zip format.

Regards

If you wish to use FCKeditor for newsletters, there is a one line fix here:

**meadwench** · 11 May 2007, 12:16 AM

I've had this installed for a while now, and working fine, until I upgraded to 1.3.7.

Now, it looks like this: http://play2winbilliards.com/index.php?main_page=news

My right column is pushed way to the bottom, and I can't for the life of me figure out where this is falling apart.........

Any ideas?

}

and replace with:

Code:

if ($editor_handler != '') include ($editor_handler);
