Hi, all

I've been trying to submit a News article without content. It has content but for articles in this specific category I use custom fields for the content.

Obviously I always get the "No content given" message and can't submit the article.

Is there away around this?

Thank you, I had thought of the template hack solution, maybe I'll use it

For example user 1 can add/edit articles in all categories but user 2 can only add/edit articles in categ...

In my news detail template I've an "slidebar" which contains links to various sections in the news detail template. I've been spending lots of time to get the {anchor} tag to work. But the link always goes to the this path (https://mypage.com/index.php?page=mainpage#section03) but never goes to corr...

Hi I'm looping through an image folder and displaying the images in a bootstrap carousel in the news detail template. That is working very well My problem is that there should be a caption and a text for each image. My solution is to put a .txt file which contains caption contents for each image in ...

I figured it out , I had to add " |glob " to the end of the string.

thanks again Rolf for pointing out the "".

Thanks Rolf of course it is double quotes . The path is right now. But for some reason it looks like this

<img src="https://mypage.com/uploads/images/projectx/*.jpg" width="600" height="600" alt="">

it is reading the jpg as " *.jpg ".

Why is that?

I'm trying to access a folder which contains images. The user inserts the name of the folder to a custom field in the News module. In the news detail template I have this to loop through the images in the folder. But for some reason that I haven't figured out it is like the path doesn't get assigned...
