CMS Made Simple Forums

..well that was easier than i initially thought - with a bit of help from print_r  and smarty :) In the news summary template i was using to display related news articles i just grabbed the id of the news item i was displaying in detail and assigned it a new variable 'currentitem'. Then after the fo...

Hi all, On the news detail page for each article I'm trying to display a news article in detail and then all other News articles in the same category in summary form beneath. Here's an example: http://tinyurl.com/yebcyg9 This works in a way but doesn't exclude the post currently being viewed in the ...

That's really useful I fell like i've almost cracked it.  If i look at a page with the news summary on it and debug enabled i see the following code: (mysql):             SELECT                 mn.*,                 mnc.news_category_name,                 mnc.long_name,                 u.username,  ...

Ok, very weird, that works. 
If i set the post date and expiration date over four hours earlier than the current time than the post appears.

Any idea why this might be happening?

If i can't work out why this is happening, guess i could go live with this in the interim but it's not ideal.

That's right it only happens with the news, new pages etc are fine. I've tried reinstalling the news module but it made no difference. I don't have any caching turned on.

Anyone else got an opinion on this? I've established that it takes 4 hours after posting before a news item appears live.  Guess i can live with this in the short term but not sure if my client can.. Even if i set the time of posting to five hours prior to the current time it makes no difference, it...

After much head scratching it seems i've managed to fix it myself with the following code. {if $node->parent == true and $node->depth == '1'} current == true and $node->depth == '1'} current == true and $node->depth == '2'} current == true and $node->depth == '3'} type == 'sectionheader'}         {$...

The cache is already set to 0 so that makes no difference.  I'm stumped 

Sure i understand that. 
I don't have the "use expiration" tick checked for any of my articles.  Instead i have a summary template which should show the 3 most recent items.  It's just that the most recent item isn't showing up as soon as it should.

Any other ideas?

Hi, I'm using CMSMS 1.5.3 and I'm having real trouble trying to style a second level parent item differently from a top level parent item.  I've lookes through all the forums and can't work out if i need to have two separate menu templates or if my menumanager logic is just wrong. I currently have 3...

Thanks Ronny but I don't have the "use expiration" checked.

Hi, I'm using CMSMS ver 1.5.3 with the default News module 2.9.3. When i add a new news article it doesn't appear in my summary page immediately even though the post date appears to be fine and matches the date on my server.  I can even change the date to a previous date and it still doesn't appear....
