News & Article Management [Support]

I have worked with the java code for the width, height, and velocity of the scrollbox but doesn't seem to do anything. :no:

How can I manipulate these elements? Isn't it supposed to be on newsScroller.js?

There are settings in the admin after you install it for the height, amount, & delay (amount & delay control speed). The width is automatically set to roughly the column width that it is placed in.

Ok, but where? It's not on "News & Articles Management". :huh:

It is in the news & articles settings if you installed the scrollbox sql.

Well, apparently something is wrong, this is my patch:

# News Scroller Config
INSERT INTO configuration VALUES ('', 'News Sidebox Scroller Days', 'NEWS_SCROLLER_NUMBER_OF_DAYS', '7', 'The news sidebox scroller will only contain news from the past xx news days', '2504', '100', NULL, now(), NULL, NULL),
                                 ('', 'News Sidebox Scroller Height', 'NEWS_SCROLLER_HEIGHT', '250', 'The height of the news sidebox scroller box', '2504', '101', NULL, now(), NULL, NULL),
                                 ('', 'News Sidebox Scroller Amount', 'NEWS_SCROLLER_AMOUNT', '2', 'The amount to scroll by', '2504', '102', NULL, now(), NULL, NULL),
                                 ('', 'News Sidebox Scroller Delay', 'NEWS_SCROLLER_DELAY', '100', 'The amount of delay when scrolling', '2504', '103', NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);
UPDATE configuration, configuration_group SET configuration.configuration_group_id = configuration_group.configuration_group_id WHERE configuration_group.configuration_group_title = 'News & Articles Management' AND configuration.configuration_group_id = '2504';

but it stops while processing.

That Update statement should be commented out. It doesn't work with the Zen Cart SQL Patch tool.

The Select & Update statement after it should be the one that runs and it should read:

SELECT @group_id := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'News & Articles Management';
UPDATE configuration SET configuration_group_id = @group_id where configuration_group_id = '2504';

If you've already run the INSERT INTO configuration VALUES ... statement, don't run it again. Just run what I've posted above.

B I N G O ! :smartass: Thanks!

:cry:

its not working for me though... the scroller setting still wont appear where it should be!

Is this News and Articles module support multilanguage?

If not, is there any code suggest to add for this function?

Thanks.

yup, it is support multilanguage function... no special code required!

Is it supposed to go to the last article post when clicking on "Articles....more"? or is it supposed to go to to the archive? or....?

How can I make the archive page to display the intro/summary for each article?

Thanks Tajul_ashyqin. I want to clarify that:

Does it mean I can input three different news interpretation for switching among three languages environment?

Or you mean I can type in different language but only showed one kind of language whenever I switch the language environments?

Thanks.

hi,

yup, you have to input the three different news interpretation thru the ZC Admin! at the front end, the respective news will only be display according to the language selection... good luck!

Thanks Tajul_ashyqin. It's good. Hope more module will support multilanguages. :laugh:

Okay, cool! I got it to work with ZC 1.3.1.

I had some troubles with my install today, but they were entirely my own.

I had some similar errors that at first looked like they were table name errors in the database, but it just turns out that I just didn't have every file uploaded. (Stupid "synchronize").

Anyway, I noticed that the CSS for the body text on the article detail wasn't working... but really it is. In the text editor, just make sure that you lable your entries with "normal" or they will sit out there with no formatting whatsoever. I thought that the body text wasn't held by CSS at all (that's what the html said) but I was just missing the <p> tags.

So, thank you very much for this module. It's exactly what I was needing. Please ignore my pitiful email good sir.

I just upgraded my cart to 1.3.5 and notice something wrong with News and article mod, the image for the summary is not blending in the text as with previous 1.3.0.2, but just sit on top of text, you can have a look here :

Any idea ?

Hi,

I've installed the 'news sroller sidebox' add-on for this mod (which appears to be freaking awesome!) as I wanted my latest news to appear in a sidebox.

I was hoping I could disable the scrolling effect in the admin, however setting the delays to 0 doesn't have the desired effect.

Anyone know how I could remove the js without screwing up the rest of the script?

Would the 'news box manager' contribution have been a better choice for what I'm looking for and does it include the archive feature like this one?

Cheers

Is there a way to make FCK Editor the default editor for the News & Articles input area?

Hey!

Is it possible to set how many news will be shown on first page? Now, it only shows one and i have not found anything in the admin section.

Thank You

Sorry to jump in with a question that may be close to a duplicate.

Does the latest news manager release work with v1.35?

thank you,
