news module summary vanished

Caspar · Post by **Caspar** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 10:30 pm

havent' found a post on this one yet, so please take a second:

1. i had the news module summary in a 2nd content block on the right of my page.

2. after updating some other stuff only the header "news" of that content block would be displayed, no summaries/entries.

3. looking at the sourcecode it shows some commentary lines of the news module summary, but no code/content.

4. tried reinstalling the whole module with the only result that all my news entries got overwritten (my fault, so stupid).

system: cmsms 0.13, pretty urls off, htaccess + mod_rewrite for .html page extension, apache with php4.4.1.
can't provide a link to the problem page here, cause it's a production site and i had to switch on "site down".

has anyone a clue?
thanx!

instead of site down you could put a small site in progress static page, index.html, that way you can point people like a client to the correct index.php, browsers always default to look for index.html first, ive used this with a few clients, most web host will put a "this site is registered for a client if you want web hosting clik this link bla bla bla" page that is in fact index.html, when i'm/they are ready to go "live" it's just a matter of deleting that page and we are live...

what did you.. 2. after updating some other stuff

thanks for the tip about index.html! here's the link to my index.php: http://artreade.shareyourweb.com/index.php

edit a global content block and a page. only changing content.
here's what the source code says about the 2nd content block where the news summaries should appear:

Code: Select all

<div id="content2">
          <h2>News</h2>
<!-- Displaying News Module -->
<!-- News Categories: 'Sidebar' -->
<!-- Start News Display Template -->
<!-- End News Display Template -->
      </div>
      <!-- End Second Content Block -->

thanx for reviewing!

how did you insert the second content block in your template? of course it shows when you edit page or did you put it in the template?
can you post your template code?
how did you insert the news tag?
did you try and delete and reinsert the tag?

got it! reinstalling the module was it, just forgot to re-edit categories and summary. all fine now - only my news entries are gone, but it weren't too many...
thanx for your support, mark!
