Article Manager v1.0

[♥JcMagpie]

Example /article_info.php?articles_id=2  is availale from its link , but it's not beeing picked up by all articles or all topics. So they are missing the links to that article

I am actually adding the articles manually through the admin article submission.

It looks as if the install is bad, I can only guess from the code I see but it looks to be missing the links in the db to the articles. I'm assuming when you add articles it saves in to db the actual artical and a id to find them all. It looks as if you have added articles by copying them over and not copied the links? Not sure just a guess.

 

[♥Dnj1964]

Correct.

Should be being picked up by articles but there are no added topics yet so the topics seems to work correctly

Ok then it should save to all the tables. Manualy check in the bd is the links exist to the articles in  All Articles 4 and All Topics

[♥JcMagpie]

sorry cross posting 😂, ok best left to Jack as he will know better.

[♥Dnj1964]

the admin article add can save as article or blog article

 

[♥JcMagpie]

Ok so the articles are output by article_info.php which is working fine. The All Articles 4 is articles.php which is listing nothing. Check to see what it is calling to collect the artical list ans see if it is populated in the db.

That's about all I can offer as i haven used this add-on.

Hello Jack,

There is one more error on the page: header_tags_fill_tags.php

Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in   /admin/header_tags_fill_tags.php on line 156

Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in  /admin/header_tags_fill_tags.php on line 256

Simplest solution...

Edit includes/languages/english/articles.php

And remove "Blog"

Not the proper fix, but works.

Only other issue is that Clicking through link "All Articles"

Goes to articles.php but doesn't show a list of articles but shows

Those errors are caused by code Header Tags SEO, not this addon. Please post any problems for it in its support thread. With that said, you can change the code to the following and it might fix it (haven't tested it):

              if ($fillTagsCtr['categories'] == 0 && is_array($fillTagsErrors) && count($fillTagsErrors['categories']) == 0)  {

            if ($fillTagsCtr['manufacturers'] == 0 && is_array($fillTagsErrors) && count($fillTagsErrors['manufacturers']) == 0) {

@Jack_mcs Can articles only be submitted from the front end of the site or is there a way to do it from admin that I'm missing?

Both are possible. See the settings "Enable Article Review" and "Require Blog Post Approval".

Not looking to approve in admin, wanting to actually write them in admin.

[Jack_mcs]

I'm sorry. I guess I don't understand the question. If you want to add a new article, then you can submit it in admin via the Topics/Articles section. If that is not what you are asking, please describe it in more detail and I will try again..

What I'm wanting to do is rather than submit the article from the front end of the shop and then approve it in the admin,  I want to submit it from the admin section and then approve it in the admin section.

All the people that submit articles on my site will be members of my team/staff so will have access to the admin section of my site.

[Jack_mcs]

So then you just need to go to admin->Article Manager->Topics/Articles and click the new article button in the topic you want it to appear. Have you tried this?

I tried this and it gave me the option to add a new article but nowhere to actually write the article.

The attached image shows what the page should look like (it's a partial image). If you are not seeing that, something is wrong with your installation or maybe it is a compatibility problem with php. Are you seeing any errors displayed or in the log?

Yeah, I'm only seeing as far as image on my install.

[Jack_mcs]

Then the code is throwing an error for some reason.  You can add this after the error_reporting line In admin/includes/application_top.php to see the error. It needs to have the option set to show errors. If none show up, you can see if there is an error_log file in admin.

  ini_set('display_errors','1');

I'm getting this in my apache logs.

Use of undefined constant USE_CACHE

OK I made progress, the issue was being caused by a header_tags issue, that's been fixed and I can now see the boxes to create the article. 

My new issue is the random floating insert and cancel buttons.

Then you have a Phoenix shop. The cache code was removed from it. You can add define(;USE_CACHE', 'true'); at the bottom of application_top to get around it until a new version is released.

I don't understand the issue. The buttons float on purpose. You can remove that part of the code if you like since there are other buttons at the bottom of the page.

Yes I do have a Phoenix shop, should have clarified that.

As long as they're deliberate that's fine I'll just remove the code since as you said they're at the bottom too.

[LeeFoster]

Ok made massive progress and have this mostly working as I want it in Phoenix. Only issue I'm seeing now is that when I click all articles in the Articles Box I get the below.

What I'd like to see is something like this -

But more importantly I'd just like it to show something. I've only created one article and no topics but I don't plan on using topics.
