News & Article Management [Support]

I am trying to find a copy of the News & Article Management to install and could use a link to the mod.

Would you do so? I can give an email to send it to if that is more convenient

Thanks in advance

I am trying to find a copy of the News & Article ManagementJust click on the free software add-ons link above and search for "news"

Is it safe to install it on 1.3.8a
I do not want problems.

have screen shot please .

install here
http://www.king-magic.com

I had problems with my meta tags and found the problem to be cause by the optional installs overwriting the original meta_tags.php

The author of this mod may want to revise this file.....
I would reccomend to anyone using this mod - it works well but don't install the optional extras.

Your alignment looks good. How did you do that as I'm having an alignment problem with mines. http://www.etondiffusion.fr/librairie
Thanks for any help that you could suggest.

I don't remember exactly but check if you can change the width of your news scroller from the admin. If so, change it to 172. I also recommend you go into your CSS and change the padding-bottom on your .box_body from 22px to 15px, it'll look better.

To fix yours, go to your CSS, find .newsScrollerSideBox and change the padding property to only padding:10px; Then check if you can set the width of the scroller from the admin, just like I said above and change it to auto, ie, if it's 172px atm, delete that and type in "auto".

Btw, where did you get that flash best seller product thingy?

Hi All,

I just noticed with my news articles that when i write an article the final view does not reflect any pargraphs and it becomes one large block of writing....

Is there something im doing wrong?

Link: http://www.truwater.com.au/news

Can someone post the news summary add on please ? I seem to miss that part, everything is running fine except for the Ticker, if anyone could also tell me how to align the scrolling text in the sidebox.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers!

I've installed the package and I also get the articles without paragraphs etc.

Does anyone know how to correct this please?

Make sure you use zen built in text editor which is HTML editor. Before writing an article have a look if its plain text or html.

Cheers!

After reading the documentation I dont see where or how you change the News name From "Zen Cart News" To "My Stores Updates" or whatever I want to call it. Anyone help me with that?

In your includes/languages/your-language

Find news.php, news-archive.php, news-article.php, news-comments.php and news-rss.php and change the Zen-cart news to your site news or whtever you like.

Hope that helps.

The Global is defined in the HEADING_TITLE varible I would assume that I can set that or its a value in one of the tables.

if I were to chang that global to a string in all those files I would still have the breadcrumb reading -> Zen Cart News

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? 2. on the news page there is a date of WEDNESDAY 31 DECEMBER, 2014. How can I remove this?
Thanks in advance!
