News & Article Management [Support]

Hi there everyone,

I have 1.3.8a installed with bookshelf template and I have also installed quiet a few add on modules.

I was just wondering if anyone has installed this to a 1.3.8a cart and if they have what changes were made.

I am really still learning all of this and I dont want to install it and then find it doesn't work and I can not find the coding that needs to be changed.

Thanks in advanced

I'm in the middle of fixing that myself for my page. Seems as though there's a conflict with the CSS involved in the news poster. What I can suggest is to make two columns in the main box like what I did. One column can be a image highlighting specials and deals while the other will post your news.

The following is based on the default installation:

<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="50%"><a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/466605"><img src="images/large/e-start-book.gif" alt="get your manual today" title="Have you got yours yet? Join the 1000’s of Zen Cart users that have bought the only comprehensive owners manual !" /></a>
<p>This content is located in the file at: <code> /languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php</code></p>
<p>You can quickly edit this content via Admin->Tools->Define Pages Editor, and select define_main_page from the pulldown.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE: Always backup the files in<code> /languages/english/html_includes/your_template</code></strong></p></td>
<td width="50%" valign="top"><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_NEWS_SUMMARY_MODULE)); ?><td></tr></table>

I'm running it myself on 1.3.8a and see no major problems or changes that need to be done. Just fair warning that if you changed your database table names you need to manually update them in the SQL patch before you are able to use it.

There's also the bit of CSS in the front page but something tells me that given a week I can fix it, faster if someone else can look before I do.

Re: News & Article Management [Support]

Hi,

Is there a way to add categories for the news articles? For instance, I want to have a Food Facts category, a Recipes category, and so forth. That said, when the client creates an article, it would be ideal if they could assign it to the proper category.

I searched this thread for category and categories, but didn't see anything that relates to my needs.

Thanks in advance.

Re: News & Article Management [Support]

Hello, I've seen that Static RSS News Sidebox add-on is "compatible" with News & Articles, how I can link them?

Or is there a way to make News & Articles to take feeds from other sites and automatically post them as articles?

In the sidebox configuration it allows you to enter the RSS url. In that sense, it is actually compatible with any RSS feed, not just the News and Articles Manager.

Yes I know that is possible, just my bad. What I want exactly to do is to take information from a feed then post it as a news/article, all this automaticlly, I think it is possible because I've already seen that on some various sites (zencart), or if News & Articles can do it, is there a way to do that?

The sidebox contains a script for parsing RSS feeds, you could use that script to show anything from an RSS feed on a page in any way you'd like. I wouldn't use the News and Articles Manager since your content would be dynamic. Instead create a new defined page.
