CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello everyone

I have some problems to have CGUserDirectory and CGBlog work together.

What I would like to have :

A menu in the website where I have a list of all frontend users, and when someone clicks on a user's name, the page with the news written by this user are displayed.
The news would be submitted via the frontend.

I managed to have the list of frontend users with CGUserDirectory. In the detail template of this module I simply put the CGBlog tag, specifying the author being the one that is visited.
Until there all is well.

But the problem is that when there is more than one news pages to display, the links to the next page doesn't work. It leads to an empty page...

When I try CGBlog with a specific author outside a CGUserDirectory template, everything works.

So I think that the problem comes from the interaction between the two modules, but I can't figure out what is going on...

Please help !!!

Thanks !

Does anyone have an idea ?

I'm stuck on this... Maybe I'm trying to solve my problem the wrong way. I mean if someone knows how I can handle this differently (instead of using CGDirectory and CGBlog) I'd be glad !

Or if I have to dive in the modules' code I'll do it but I don't know where to begin, I don't understand where the problem comes from...

Please please help !

Maybe I don't express myself very well (I'm french) so if not everything is comprehensible please tell me too and I'll try to explain better !

Thanks all

Let me get this straight:

a: you are calling {CGUserDirectory} to get a summary list of all users, including a link to a detail view for each user.

b: inside the CGUserDirectory detail template you are calling something like:
{CGBlog author=$entry->userid limit=5} to generate a summary view of blog articles
by that author, with a specified pagelimit But there maybe say 20 or 30 articles by
that author.

c: The pagination links in the CGBlog summary template don't work

If this is the case then I wouldn't expect it to do what you want right now... but should not give you a white page either.

Have you checked the php error logs or the CMSMS admin log, for errors?

The CGBlog pagination links are not generated to be 'inline'. Which means that they 'should' generate a link to the content page itself, and the second, third, fourth page of the display will occupy the whole {content} area of the originating CMSMS page.

To modify this behaviour would involve adding a new parameter to CGBlog and modifying the CreateLink calls etc. in the php code that generates the CGBlog summary code.

Thanks for the reply !
You understood the problem very well. Except for one point that I didn't explain correctly. I don't really get a white page, but a page with an empty content block.

You said :

If this is the case then I wouldn't expect it to do what you want right now...

Do you know how I should do then ? I "just" want multiple frontend users to be able to manage news, and to have links to those individual links.

If someone is interested, I used the function createFrontendLink in a UDT to solve the problem.
