Guest Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Before I reinvent the wheel has anyone integrated Jack's Header Tags contribution into News Blog??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearstone Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I installed the mod. So far it looks pretty smooth except that I get this error on the homepage of the site now: Fatal error: Call to a member function add_current_page() on a non-object in /home/.orange/teargraphics/tearstonegraphics.com/includes/application_top.php on line 312 The admincp tools>news all functions properly. I've also imported the SQL and uploaded the files per the instructions. Someone please help point me in the right direction on what to start looking at to troubleshoot this :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearstone Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) I figured it out. Don't use commas in your keywords line in the news.php, or put in an escape slash before the commas. Edited February 15, 2008 by Tearstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3dave Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Great contrib yet! I would like to make my oscommerce more looks like a News website. So actually I would like 3 things and I don't know yet how to figure it out. #1 The news or articles made showing within the home page without having a new module or infobox being installed, I want it as a part of the website not like a module... #2 How to find what is my rss channel so that I could promote it everywhere within the rss readers (they actually don't accept the rss.php as a channel) #3 Why when someone add a reply to any article it suddenly reduce the background so that the news and answer themselves comes out of the frame?

h3dave Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Oh I notice I forgot to mention also that I cannot use html tags when creating new articles, any idea how to fix it also?

Micke Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi All! I've got some ideas for this contribution. A blog is fairly easy to manage and a great way to publish (hopefully) interesting and attractive content. Moving the menu with the Months / View all / RSS feed menu into a Infobox. (That would make the news blog reachable from all pages on the site and reduce clutter on the news.php page) Adding a module that could show the latest posts on the index.php page.(Great osc-coders have made a wide variety of modules, so why not for this one?) Having the latest posts expanded like in many other blog systems.(Less user-clicks and more content exposure.) Formatting the Month links to a more international format.(...than "March 2008" for instance...) Have anyone succeeded in this before or does anyone like to share the knowledge needed to make it happen? //Micke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3dave Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I am still trying to make my news blog... Have a lot of problems with the RSS as the rss 1.0 you are referring to in earlier post which will pur all products in our store to rss.php to have a feed channel and as you are using the same rss.php but with a complete different way to code, I can't make them to work together and have my products and articles within one single rss together... Also I am still looking forward to have my articles to live together with my featured products boxes, isn't there anyway to replace the existing news onto it by our articles made with your contrib? If anyone could help me this it would be very appreciated and you can see it working on my website at the bottom link of this post Sincerely, Dave ebayauctionblog.com Quote Light travels faster than sound.

allenbrothers Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Has anyone thought of, and or accomplished, being able to add multiple topics to this mod? I like the simplicity and ease of use, but I'd like to have more categories than just "news" and would love to know if it's been done before I go and try reverse engineering it myself. -Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWWWW.WAHWAH Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Problem #2 is solved by adding the line "define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'News');" to your shops language files Now edit the following files on your server: Open /catalog/includes/languages/english.php and add this line at the bottom, right above: ?> define('VIEW_ALL', 'View All'); define('NEWS', 'News'); define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'News'); You don't want to do that on the english.php file or it will change everything to the NAVBAR_TITLE. All you have to do is go to news.php under /includes/languages/ and add define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL YOUR BLOG'); and it should show up.

Tom- Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi Just installed this and all seems well, except in the admin panel there is NO option to add a new article or edit the current article that's there? Any ideas why this is? I've been through the installation several times and no luck. Theres no actual errors displaying just lack of things, also I haven't edited ANY of the files, fresh from the folder. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
