News & Article Management [Support]

kuroi:

I recommend the search this thread facility towards the top of this page (different from search an below it). This would have led your to post #7, which deals with this problem (bug).

I've tried this and it's not working for me. That's why I want to remove the option to make comments. I don't want any users to be able to comment. Have you got any ideas? Is this possible?

Is this possible?If there's not an Admin switch for this (I'm assuming that you've looked) then a quick and dirty approach would be to remove the comments link, which you could do by commenting out line 41 of the tpl_news_article_default.php file.> $newsDisplay->articleByLine(sprintf(TEXT_ARTICLE_BY_LINE, $articleAuthor), $commentsURL, (($comments > 0) ? sprintf(TEXT_POST_COMMENT_1, $comments) : TEXT_POST_COMMENT_2));This would however, also remove the article's byline. If you wanted to remove the byline, you would need to dig deeper into the code to see what happens if you just set the 2nd and 3rd parameters of the above line to NULL or empty strings.

Hi,
Thanks for a great mod.

It works fine, however the main_page=rss_feed&feed=new_products does not show new products(it's stuck on a particular product and does not update), however the main_page=rss does show all the products including new products.

Can someone please let me know where I may be wrong.

The latter is handling illegal xml characters better probably. You should post in the thread for the RSS Feed module.

Hello all,
I have a couple of questions:

→ Is there an installation guide for this ad-on?
→ Does it support multi-lingual content? I need it just for news posting.

Ok I took the time to get everything from archive.org for this mod as far as the install stuff and the other doc's. I grabbed all the screen shots (took a while but I found them) and documentation that was there. I skipped the change log, to do and donations as they really aren't necessary.

I put it all in a zip that you can get here

Hope this helps!!

admins you might want to add this link to the mod download page or just add it to the zip file as it contains everything needed.

Hey all!!

in:
[select news_date_published from zen_news_articles where news_status = '1' and to_days(news_date_published) <= to_days('2009-01-29') group by news_date_published desc limit 7]

Thanks in advance!

Your timing is impeccable, even prescient, as I had only just discovered this mod yesterday.

mm, suddenly my news articles wont scroll as usual...:shocking:

heimskr75 - Please add the contrib to the downloads section so that it won't be lost again. Thanks!!

Done! The current zip now has 4 zip files in it
the main one 2 add-ons and the install instructions I put back together.

I would know also the informations about uninstall, in way to know if there'll be something wrong how to uninstall.

please I have to install the mod, but before I would to know hoe to uninstall later.
:frusty:

Simply undo the installation instructions in reverse order.

Just leave the SQL structure alone when uninstalling unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing.

thank you.
I do backup of database before install.

So can you tell me also how uninstall the sql patch?
Please.

So within today I install this mod I need.
Please

IF you leave the SQL patch from the installation alone after you remove the physical files, nothing will be affected by it since the installation only adds in the data tables for the news posts. But if you insist... I'll be back in a few.

```There's your remove SQL code. I still say you can just LEAVE IT there since the database tables for the news don't interfere with anything and aren't referenced outside of the news script. But it's your call.

This all assumes you use the DEFAULT installation tables. If you changed your tables to something else... You have to modify the table names above to the appropriate ones.
