News & Article Management [Support]

I can't find this mod in the downloads section. I have followed the external link - is that the latest version? (also where is the sidebox option?)

Many thanks!

Yes, it's the latest version, at least the last I could find.

I'm having one problem: The weekday name doesn't shows as it should and does everywhere els in the shop. I'm using Swedish language and the DATE_FORMAT_LONG is set to %A %e %B %Y in includes/language/swedish.php. It's just the day that contains å, ä, ö that isn't showing, the rest day works fine as the weekdays in English.

Could someone please help me, I'm clueless! :frusty:

Seems that is is a gonfiguration problem on my host :(

rikreations:

Thanks a_berezin, that's what i was looking for!
The method i used was for the "old days"... :)

Thanks for posting the news.zip file. Does it include the fix that Andrew recommended above and if not what's the change needed from section that begins at line 205?

a_berezin:

if ($editor_handler != '') include ($editor_handler);

Can someone please post the complete code replacement for this section. Obvious the editors are no longer in INCLUDES folder which is where this mod is looking for the editors.

Thanks!

Thanks Beez.

hey all,

ben through this thread a few times and got the news working on 3.1.7. just sorting the problems with the layout not being 100% right.

One thing i have noticed is that in firefox the sidebox scroller is a nice speed and in ie it is far to fast to read.

Hi BlessIsaacola,

Thank you so much Andrew! I really appreciate your help and your willingness to assist us.

The editor works perfectly now.

so i am guessing that it is only me with the speed issues?

Hi
Just install this mod and it all look good until I install the Side box Ticker v1.000.
When I run the SQL this is what I got, in green 2 statement processed,
Red: ERROR cannot execute because table configuration, does not exist, CHECK PREFIXED , in yellow, Note : 1 statement ignored see “ upgrade-exception” table for additional details.

I have no idea what that mean

Thank you

Hi,

I just downloaded the News_Articles_Management_v2.110.zip from your website, and got that installed ok.

I also downloaded and installed Sidebox_Scroller_v1.000.zip from the website, but I have had issues with the SQL code, the Insert function works, but the update line:

UPDATE zen_configuration, zen_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';

doesn't work.

My tables in the database for zen cart start with zen_ then the table name.

Its also not showing up in the Layout Boxes Controller either.

Is there any security updates I need to know? Plus can I delete or force the user to login to post a comment?

The site it's running on is https://www.themobilephonesite.co.uk I'm using a template I bought, and I have further customised it and some slight changes to zen cart, but these won't effect this script.

I'm running the latest fully patch install of zen cart.

Thanks, Matt Auckland.

Hi

Can one look at my page and tell me how can I remove the backgrounds Text of Zen news?
Is that has anything to do with my Thread 113 on this page?
Still waiting on help on that issue

Thank you

I might be able to help you on that. It's in the code for the page.

I need to make some layout changes to mine on Monday to make it fit the template I'm using, so once I have looked at the code and located the eliments to remove I will post that here.

If some once can give me some help on my problem above that would be great!

Thanks

Matt Auckland :bigups:

Thank you Matt

Any one can help me on that issue please? Thread 115

Thank you

I have found the file to edit, and the CSS. :smartalec:

If you look on the site I'm working on ( https://www.themobilephonesite.co.uk ) you will see I have made some changes.

When the laptop is on tomorrow, I will post the file locations for you.

I still need a reply on my issue, but I'm not holding my breath. :frusty:

Matt

The background text of Recent Zen Cart News is found in includes/languages/english/news.php

All the page headings are in there.

The reason its big is possibly something to do with the CSS.
