All installed etc etc. It all seems to work apart from the summery on the front page. I have added the line:

> 
>

> 
> But nothing displays. 
> 
> 
> I tried adding it too: tpl_main_page.php (just to see if it worked)

> which gives the desired effect of it showing on the index but then it displays on the news page, which I obviously don't want as I then have a summary on the same page as the actual story which is pointless.

Hi,

I'm having problems with the SQL patch install (INSTALL_V2.110.sql). When I try to upload it via Admin > Tools Install SQL patches I get the following error...

1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'configuration_group_id' at row 1
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'News & Articles Management', 'The options which configure News & Articles Management', '1', '1');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

The first line of the patch reads

ConfigurationINSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'News & Articles Management', 'The options which configure News & Articles Management', '1', '1');

Am I missing something - couldn't find a similar error other users have experienced on the forum??? Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,
Adam.

Hi Misty,

Would you believe i swear i went through the contribs about three times and searched i don't know how many, but i eventually found an older version from a backup.

I've bookmarked that url anyway just in case.

Cheers for that ;-)

I have the news working, but I have an issue with the RSS Feed. I get:

Invalid xml declaration.
Line: 2 Character: 3

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

I found that the <?xml has to be at the beginning of the page on line 1. When I look at the source for the page, it's on line 2. Does anyone know how to get rid of the blank line?

How to

1. include more posts than one on the front page?

2. Display full posts in the archive instead heading?

Hi all,

I read that the manual used to be on the dream-scape.com website, so I went to the Internet archive

http://web.archive.org/web/20071226035532/www.dream-scape.com/pub/zencart/News_Articles_Management/install.html

The manual and most of the screenshots are still there...

Perhaps someone can move them to another site?

This is exactly what I'm looking for. How do I do this?

Hello;

I was wondering if someone can help me with my little alignment problem. Below is what I posted to the template thread thinking that the template could be adjusted to fit the content.

Thank You

If there is a support thread for this mod, can you please tell them that they have forgotten the:

Cherry Zen
Apple Zen
Simple Zen
Nifty Zen
CSS Dropdown Header
Optional Insurance
Short Description for Categories
Category Select

Could someone point me in the right direction on which file(s) and where to make the necessary changes.

Thank You Again

Hi Chris,

If you go to all the files in the includes/templates/template_default/templates folder of this mod:

tpl_news_archive_default.php
tpl_news_article_default.php
tpl_news_comments_default.php
tpl_news_default.php

you'll see they all start with a <table>.

So, right before the first <table> add this:

and then at the very end of the file, after the ?> add this:

Without having this installed to test it, can't guarantee of the result, but give it a try.

Hi all,

This is a bit of a newbie question but I've been hunting for hours with no luck.

I'm trying to turn off the post comments to news articles because I can't stop the spam comments. I'm getting over 20 a day!

I've tried making it so that people could only post if logged in but that hasn't helped.

I'm running the latest version of Zen Cart.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
