News module : what is new ? (rss, dates, clean urls ?)

[fredt]

Hi,

I've noticed News went to 2.0.3 and still should work with my CMSMS 0.11.2. But I'm no good at reading code (nor programming), so can you please tell me if these long-awaited functions have been upgraded from my current 2.0.1 version ?

- RSS provided all News from my 4 categories - I'd like to provide 3 feeds, one for each public category, and keep my "InternalApproval" category "secret"...
- I'd like to have clean urls for news : does this work now, or do I have to cope with all suggested modifications from the forum ?
- publication time didn't work : I currently can't prepare a News to be published Friday at 14:30. Would love it, too...

In fact, I'm ready to bet 2 out of 3 are OK now !

TIA, Fred

I'd like to pick up on this: Are Clen URLs already available in latest version of CMSMS?

Yep, clean urls are available for News Now.  Implemented in 0.13-beta1

Thanks. I was just about to answer my own post, since I have just downloaded 0.13beta1 and have read the News about it before. I am pretty curious to see how it works.

I have a perfect working site but want to convert to clean URLs.
I have followed instructions in the first post and have no sub-domain to worry about.  However, when I try to access the pages I get a server error in my log /user/htdocs/.htaccess: php_flag not allowed here.  I get the message 'The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.' in a web browser.
Also what should the .htaccess be CMODed to? 755?

[tsw]

you can take out the php_flag lines in .htaccess file

most isp's dont allow php_flags to be set in .htaccess

those lines will be commented out in next release

Wow that was quick and it works like a dream.  also I have set the .htaccess to 755 is that acceptable or does it cause a security risk.
