News Module Help

[lepoticum]

Hi,
im using CMS Made Simple 0.12.1 and News module 2.0.3

Ive set up my news module for my site, i have two columns. the left column displays the news when u click 'more' in the news summary and the news summary is displayed on the left. However when i open the page no default news comes up on the left, instead i get this code:  string(43) "Smarty error: eval: missing 'var' parameter".

The news summary on the right  is all set up correctly but How do i go about setting up so the news part on the left has a default opening text when the page opens?

Thanks..

How are you using the news tag?
What is diff. between left tag and right tag?

Hello,

I've have the same bug with cmsms 0.13. , when i want to see the detail of the news i've this message :

string(43) "Smarty error: eval: missing 'var' parameter"


and when using pretty url or not with the default template.

[Dr.CSS]

Are you using {cms_module module='news'} as the tag?

[Fido]

yes !

[Fido]

{cms_module module="news" number="5"}

[Dr.CSS]

try it with single quotes 'news'

[Fido]

nothing change, i have the same error message et it doesn't display the detail of the news 

[Dr.CSS]

What does the detail template look like?

[Fido]

{$entry->title}

-->

{if $entry->category}

{$entry->category}

{/if}

{if $entry->formatpostdate}

{$entry->formatpostdate}

{/if}

{if $entry->summary}


{eval var=$entry->summary}


{/if}

{if $entry->author}

{$entry->author}

{/if}


{eval var=$entry->content}



{$entry->printlink}

{if $return_url != ""}
{$return_url}
{/if}

[Fido]

even if i restore the defaults parameters, i 've the same error message and non news detail displayed.

Is something happening about fixing this error? I now have it on one of my sites and nothing I do seems to fix it.

I am using CMSMS V0.13. My news detail template is as follows:

Code: Select all

<h3 id="NewsPostDetailTitle">{eval var=$entry->title}</h3>

<hr id="NewsPostDetailHorizRule">

{if $entry->formatpostdate}
	<p id="NewsPostDetailDate">
		{$entry->formatpostdate}
	</p>
{/if}

<p id="NewsPostDetailContent">
	{eval var=$entry->content}
</p>

<p id="NewsPostDetailPrintLink">
	{$entry->printlink}
{if $return_url != ""}
             | {$return_url}

{/if} 
 | {cms_selflink page='30' text='See more news'}
</p>


{cms_module module="comments" modulename="News"  pageid=$entry->id emailfield=1 websitefield=1 spamprotect=1 notify="president@mraqld.org"}

My news module placement code is:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='news' number='3' moretext='Read article' dateformat='%d/%m/%Y' detailpage='latest_news'} 

The 'latest_news' page looks like:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='news' dateformat='%d/%m/%Y' entry='content' detailpage='latest_news' returntext='Back to Latest News' moretext='Read article'}

I have tried restoring default templates also, and no joy.

Need help urgently!

You only need one page to have the news tag in it unless it's a page that is going to have news on it also, if it's just a landing page no tag needed... if nothing but a landing page and it's not shown in the menu then when you make it just put &nbsp: in the content box so you don't get a "No Content" error...

You may want to go to Extensions > Modules and click the word 'Help' to the right of News to see if it takes the detail page parameter... nad other parameters/instructions also visit the Handbook for more info...
