News & Article Management [Support]

I have installed this on 1.3.9 c and it works perfectly, except for a couple little snags, 1. I am using the news ticker and on different resolution and larger monitors then mine, the ticker " scrolling message" is either cut off or not even showing. How do I change the height?
Thanks in advance!

figured out the height change.
Go to includes/templates/template you have it uploaded to/sideboxes/and edit tpl_news_ticker.php
around line 36 you will see NEWS_TICKER_HEIGHT, just delete that and add a number that is more acceptable for it to be veiwed, I have put 35 and it works great.

I have installed this on 1.3.9 c and it works perfectly, except for a couple little snags, 2. on the news page there is a date of WEDNESDAY 31 DECEMBER, 2014. How can I remove this?

Figured this out as well, I have just removed it,
includes/templates/template where you have the files/templates
edit tpl_news_article_default.php also tpl_news_default.php
around line 35

// News header
	$newsDisplay->newsHeader(HEADING_TITLE, $newsDate, $newsHeaderLinks);

remove

 $newsDate, $newsHeaderLinks

so it will look like this

// News header
	$newsDisplay->newsHeader(HEADING_TITLE);

Fix for future versions.

UPDATE configuration SET set_function = NULL WHERE configuration_key = 'RSS_CACHE_TIME';

How can I open the first page? It's seems that I do not have rights.

Wondering the same thing as sub103. How do I get the ArticleHeading to be the page title. and how do I get ArticleSummary to be the page description?

I am using 1.3.9f.

Has anyone come up with a way to display the Article Name rather than the Article Date in the Recent News Section?

Can I somehow display just recent news and change the article heading instead of date like in the example?

Recent News

News archive

(1) I added the following code in bold to /includes/modules/pages/news_article/header_php.php

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'require_languages.php');
require_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'news.php');
$article = $db->Execute("select n.news_date_published, nt.news_article_name, nt.news_article_shorttext from " . TABLE_NEWS_ARTICLES

(2) I also changed code in /includes/modules/meta_tags.php to fix this.

After the following line:

// NO "break" here. Allow defaults if not overridden at the per-page level

Insert the following code:

//// Dynamic titles for news pages
// BOF
case 'news':
if (isset($_GET['date']) && zen_not_null($_GET['date'])) {
define('META_TAG_TITLE', zen_date_long($date) . ' : ' . NAVBAR_TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . TAGLINE);
} else {
define('META_TAG_TITLE', (defined('NAVBAR_TITLE') ? NAVBAR_TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION : '') . TITLE . TAGLINE);
}

define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', NAVBAR_TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . METATAGS_DIVIDER . SECONDARY_SECTION . KEYWORDS);
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', KEYWORDS . METATAGS_DIVIDER . NAVBAR_TITLE);
break;

case 'news_article':
define('META_TAG_TITLE', $article->fields['news_article_name'] . ' : ' . NAVBAR_TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . TAGLINE);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', $article->fields['news_article_shorttext']);
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', KEYWORDS . METATAGS_DIVIDER . NAVBAR_TITLE);
break;

case 'news_comments':
define('META_TAG_TITLE', $article->fields['news_article_name'] . ' :' . SECONDARY_SECTION . NAVBAR_TITLE_COMMENTS . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . TAGLINE);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', $article->fields['news_article_name'] . ' ' . NAVBAR_TITLE_COMMENTS . METATAGS_DIVIDER . NAVBAR_TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . METATAGS_DIVIDER . SECONDARY_SECTION . KEYWORDS);
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', KEYWORDS . METATAGS_DIVIDER . NAVBAR_TITLE);
break;

case 'news_archive':
define('META_TAG_TITLE', news_date_archive($archive_date) . ' : News Archive : ' . NAVBAR_TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . TAGLINE);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', news_date_archive($archive_date) . ' : News Archive : ' . NAVBAR_TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . METATAGS_DIVIDER . SECONDARY_SECTION . KEYWORDS);
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', KEYWORDS . METATAGS_DIVIDER . NAVBAR_TITLE);
break;
// EOF
//// Dynamic titles for news pages

I modified for my particular taste. You may wish to do different!

Wondering the same thing as sub103. How do I get the ArticleHeading to be the page title. and how do I get ArticleSummary to be the page description?

I am using 1.3.9f.

Has anyone come up with a way to display the Article Name rather than the Article Date in the Recent News Section?

Hello,

I saw there are already a few people asked similar questions but never got a clear answer:

All I want in news_archive page is a list of the articles without any date or year. How do I do that?

Thanks in advance!
