News & Article Management [Support]

francocauter:

Hi everyone,
I have installed News & Article Management.
I have made the necessary mods, I have uploaded the files, I have installed the SQL patch, but:
1, it doen not appear in the Configuration Group, I have checked the database, is there.
2, I have installed Admin Profiles from Kuroi which works fine with the other modules but, when I set to give permissions to use the NAM the Admin does not keep the "choice"

Does anyone have any idea, can you help?
I have zc 1.3.8a - the Mod is installed here: www.annunciemart.it
Thanks in advance

Thanks for whoom read this cry for help, I was going creazy but I managed to crack it.
I received an email from the zc experts with a very important security update: security_patch_v138_20090619, I installed it, there was no response from the zc system so I left it, thinking everything was ok, I found out lately that security patch interfers badly with Kuroi's Admin Profiles, I think is the file in the admin/includes/auto_loaders, anyway, I suggest to check and make shore everything works fine if you install that patch.
:wacko: why is the result of the patch installation hidden?
good luck!
Thanks

Hi, aTecko,

Anyhow thanks for your easy solution.

But seems that there is no code you mentioned above in my news_summary.php

what version are you using???

This - I searched my whole site's worth of code and I couldn't find any such define. I added the code anyhow, just in case my PC was misbehaving (searching can go weird sometimes) and the site is still showing me one summary. If anybody knows what aTecko was talking about, please speak up.

Thanks,
Frank

A great Addon, I really liked this. If anyone want to see it working, please check it on my client's new website we made: https://www.girlspartywear.com

Hi,

I have the same issue with the double breadcrumb also? Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Thanks for all the help!!!!!!!!!

Hi since we run competitions through the news page we'd need to see commentators email address or customer number or something how we'd track him down! How could it be made if we require customer login! PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Or if there would be a way to add email field next to the name? (which would only be seen from admin) ?????

retched:

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 have this problem too where the header overlaps the title and I've seen it in a lot of other shops. I don't understnad the fix that was given above and I don't want to create 2 columns. Can anyone help me?

Hi,

Not sure if i should post here or on RSS feed! I have a problem with the validation of the RSS new feed which comes from the news and articles management.

The problem is to do with the administrators email:
Invalid email address: Administrator ([email protected]) I beve thi is because "administrator" is in the email tag. I tried removing administrator from admin but I couldn't due to the field requiring a name. Has anyone else seen this problem and fixed it?

thanks

When I installed News and Article module together with Image Handler2 module, There is a conflict beetwen them. The image on article not align in a proper place. The image goes to above the article title. When you remove the image handler, the image on article back to normal. I found this on other section of this forum but never solved since a year ago. Maybe here, the right place to report the problem.

I have installed news & article manager without any problems however there seems to a small error when trying to use the fckeditor.

I hope someone can help me out here..

Many thanks in advance

Bruce

I get this error-

Warning: Missing argument 1 for FCKeditor::__construct(), called in /admin/news.php on line 368 and defined in /admin/includes/fckeditor_php5.php on line 42

Fatal error: Call to undefined method FCKeditor::CreateFCKeditor() in /admin/news.php on line 370

The code that I have in NEWS.php is -

Hello All ... hope I can find some folks in here ...

have N&AM installed ... began the config process ... but I'm stuck on the landing page ...

Looking to have a News entrance that simply displays the following:

DATE
TITLE (links to full article)
SUMMARY

REF: http://northwood-farms.com/docs/news-article-mgmt/sweet-news.jpg

I keep seeing references to the "News Summary Module" in the forums ... and even in the DOCS

REF: http://northwood-farms.com/docs/news-article-mgmt/screenshots.html

For some reason ... I can't seem to find anything related to either the separate download or any manual config ...

Anyone else have this issue?? Anyone have an idea where to download this module?? Anyone have ANYTHING like what I've described?

Thanks in advance ...

just to be clear ... I understand that I can include the statement as described in "Optional Install News Summary Module (Recommended)" instructions to the "includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php" by using the following:

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_NEWS_SUMMARY_MODULE)); ?>

what I'm trying to do is simply create a news landing page in the place of the NEWS index ... not the main index

and to further clarify ... I have yet to get the Summary Module to even display in the first place ... much less move it somewhere else ....

the structure would be ...

User clicks on NEWS from the footer or whereever ... user gets taken to the news section where the SUMMARY would show with a footer to get to recent/archive/etc ...

NEWS {from an ez link in the footer} --- >
NEWS Summary landing/section {links to articles/recent/archive/etc} --- >
NEWS Articles

Anyone??

Hey guys, I need help with this addon. After installing it according to instructions I now have an option to turn on the SUMMARY module on the main page. So I set that to true and it appears. Now thing is, in the instructions it actually says to edit the tpl_index file and add the line that makes the summary module so how did it get to the admin? Besides the question, theres a problem. See, when I set the summary module to appear (enable it in the admin) it injects the module in a way that I can't control it. I have my main page content set to 3 DIVS Featured product, New Product, News (here goes the summary). Now these three sections are all DIVS that floats to each other. Problem is, the summary module is INJECTED right BETWEEN the two other divs causing disorder in the design...simply put instead of Featured Product // New Product // News & Articles I get Featured Product // News & Article // Featured Product...so any clue how to make this work normally? and if someone could answer my first question I'll be glad.

I've finally succeeded in what I wanted so nvm last post. Other thing though, how can I edit articles using a wysiwg editor? It doesn't seem to be affected when I enabled html area to be an editor.

OK ... here I try again ... SUMMARY problems ...

We start here ...
http://northwood-farms.com/index.php

I DO NOT want anything but a link to the NEWS (via Sweet News in footer)

Once user clicks on Sweet News, it should take them to the News Summary in the following format:

[loop through ALL articles]
DATE
TITLE (links to full article)
SUMMARY (read more if I must)

User clicks on article and the articles is displayed in full

I still cannot seem to get the summary module to work at all ...

I've added the include statement to the tml_index, tpl_footer ... I've even added it to the news_default ... all it does is CRASH the page ... as soon as the code hits the include statement, everything stops ...

Any ideas?? Anyone??

Has anyone had trouble displaying the summary???

I'm in big trouble. :(

I installed this contribution + the optional news scroller. It went fine except of the SQL patch of the scroller which isn't ending correctly, it only installed the sidebox but not the statements required for changing the height and such. Luckly, I found a solution for that earlier in this thread so that one is pretty much solved. ANYWAY, I have the FCK editor installed and it doesn't seem to work properly with the articles management so I changed back to HTML AREA and it works (still need to solve this tho). Thing is, before I figured it was the FCK editor causing a php error on the articles management, I went back and re-ran the SQL patches for the article management and now I have it appearing twice in the admin 'configuration' menu :( I found an uninstall SQL patch earlier in this thread but that doesn't work correctly so I'm in trouble. How can I totally remove Article management from the SQL so I can cleanly install it again?
