Thanks for this great contrib. I was wondering when features like the http link and text colors, shadow text, glow text, etc will be working? I'm not too concerned with shadow and glow, but the colors and links are critical. I have installed the latest version (newsdesk_v_1.48.2b_1_2) but these features are not functioning.

 

Thanks

Scott

Hi Steve, Great Contribution! Alot of hard work has gone into it, so respect is due!

 

One problem I have thou is that in your latest version, there are not any settings for the "more info" page. I also get pictures that are pointing to nothing on this page.

 

Within the admin, when you create news, under the GB flag (Within the Article Image boxes 1, 2 and 3) there is also a picture that points to nothing, what should this be? the image size looks as it should be the same size as another flag.

 

Many Thanks In Advance

 

Kind Regards

 

Dave

What version osc do you have installed

Did you have a previous version of the NewsDesk installed.

 

The more info has always worked.

Images in the catalog, if the article is shown in the index page as a sticky then the images link to the article, however the images in the article are just images and not links.

 

The boxes below the flags in the admin are to show the images being used in that article, if no image is being used in the article then no image is shown and an image placement box is shown instead.

what other contributions do you have installed as I do not understand why this would cause an issue as newsdesk uses it's own set of tables.

 

I have the newsdesk operating without issue on setups with around 90 contributions installed.

Hi.... :-)

 

 

I have been using the newsdesk for awhile and it works great.......

 

My question are not directely for the newsdesk but it does have relevance for those out there who uses the Polls and the newsdesk contribs.......

 

In the polls manager you can set in which categories the polls will be shown.....

 

But this goes for the shop/catalog categories and not for the newsdesk.

 

My question then is if there are anyone out there who has any idea how to add the option of choosing polls for newsdesk categories instead?

 

(as a replacement and/or an addition to todays choices)

You are correct that it is not really a newsdesk question however without looking into this I would think that it is a case of adding the sql query to newsdesk tables in order to pull the information required for polls.

 

I suggest posting in the polls forum and general forum for more coverage, swap the bias of your question so as to be weighted to the forum you post to as you have done here weighting to the newsdesk as the post is in newsdesk.

 

How about having a go at this mod yourself adding newsdesk categories and tables to the poll query.

Hello everybody,

 

first - many thanks to Steve for this well designed contribution.

 

I added the newsdesk version 1.48.3. Everthing works proper - expect the useful search-addon Wolfen made.

 

The Header of of the catalog/newsdesk_index.php shows two boxes. The right one shows a full-text search box and is working fine. The left box, as far as i can see, is the container for a category search. but this box doesn?t appear at my installation. for my eyes the code should work. what do you see?

 

<!-- Wolfen added code BOF 
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
 <td class="pageHeading" width="70%">
<?php
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// let's make a drop down with all the categories and subcategories
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$info_box_contents = array();
if (MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST < 2) {
$cat_choose = array(array('id' => '', 'text' => NEWS_BOX_CATEGORIES_CHOOSE));
} else {
$cat_choose = '';
}
// Below lines changed by Wolfen
$categories_array = newsdesk_get_categories($cat_choose);
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($categories_array); $i++) {
$path = "";
$parent_categories = array();
//	newsdesk_get_parent_categories($parent_categories, $categories_array[$i]['id']);
//	for ($j = sizeof($parent_categories) - 1; $j>=0; $j--) {
//  $path = ($path == "") ? $parent_categories[$j] : ($path . "_" . $parent_categories[$j]);
//	}
$categories_array[$i]['id'] = ($path == "") ? $categories_array[$i]['id'] : ($path . "_" . $categories_array[$i]['id']);
}
$info_box_contents[] = array(
 'form' => '<form action="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSDESK_INDEX) . '" method="get">',
 'align' => 'center',
 'text'  => newsdesk_show_draw_pull_down_menu('newsPath', $categories_array,'','onChange="this.form.submit();" size="' . ((sizeof($categories_array) < MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST) ? sizeof($categories_array) : MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST) . '" style="width:' . BOX_WIDTH . '"')
);
new infoBox($info_box_contents);
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
?>
 </td>
	 </form>
 <td class="pageHeading" width="30%">
<?php
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// show search box
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$hide = tep_hide_session_id();
$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array(
'form'  => '<form name="quick_find_news" method="get" action="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSDESK_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false) . '">',
'align' => 'center',
'text'  => 
$hide . '<input type="text" name="keywords" size="20" maxlength="30" value="' 
. htmlspecialchars(StripSlashes(@$HTTP_GET_VARS["keywords"])) 
. '" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"> ' . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH)
);
 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
?>
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Wolfen added code EOF -->

...the rest of the code is the standard list output - Bernd

 

many thanks for replies in advance and subsequently

Wolfen and I are one in the same person.

 

The search was a last minute addition.

 

Can you provide a link for me

 

I take it that you have categories of news.

Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for that express-reply. But I didn?t have the shop online with your contribution included - just on my notebook. To which files do you need a link? Maybe I can send you an email. Or in which way you prefer to access the files?

What I am wanting to do is look at how the page with the search is functioning.

What if any categories are present in the category pull down box.

The elements are working against me today. now my provider is down. I hope this wasn?t your newsdesk. ;)

 

I think the best way to give you a look is waiting and uploading the hole thing when the sever works again. I give you a post when it?s done.

Of course it's the NewsDesk, it could not possibly be anything else, probable took out the whole server :lol:

 

That would be best as it would be easier to diagnose when seen.

 

Anyone else having issues with the search, or can I put my gun away. :blink:

All the functions are working on my set up and this may be included in the next release shadow and glow work after a fashion.

Will these features (especially the links and colors) work with version 1.48.3 posted on 21 Jul 2004?

If so, can you tell me what files have changed and if the database has changed any - looking for a quick and easy upgrade, instead of replacing all the files.

 

thanks

If you have the version 1.48.2b_1_2 download installed then some of the editor functions would have been working already.

 

Replace:

 

admin/includes/modules/newsdesk/html_editor directory or just two files

 

admin/includes/modules/newsdesk/html_editor/content_bb.php

admin/includes/modules/newsdesk/html_editor/summary_bb.php

Hi !!!

 

I get a 404 error / problem when trying to search.

It looks like FILENAME_NEWSDESK_SEARCH_RESULT is not defined !

I downloaded the version 1.48.3 but is is not found in any of those files I think

 

Regards

Morten

By the way... it should be included in /includes/filenames.php so it was my fault !

 

Rgds

Morten

It should be in the install instructions part for catalog/includes/filenames.php as part of this

define('FILENAME_NEWSDESK_ARTICLE_REQUIRE', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/newsdesk/newsdesk_article_require.php');

define('FILENAME_NEWSDESK_SEARCH_RESULT', 'newsdesk_search_result.php');

define('FILENAME_NEWSDESK_STICKY', 'newsdesk_sticky.php');
