[SOLVED] Modules work in page content but not page template

Post by Simon66 »

I seem to be the only one having this problem as I can't find any other reference to it in the forums, so I'm assuming it must be my hosting. Any help to understand this is appreciated.

If I put the module tag directly into my template it doesn't work or works a bit but doesn't call a 'detail' template.
If I put the module tag in the page content it works exactly as it should.

This happens with every module I try: News, CGCalendar, ListIt2 etc.

EXAMPLE
So if I put this news module tag in the page content:

Code: Select all

{news inline="1"}
And use this test template, everything works perfectly.

Code: Select all

{content assign="get_content"}<!DOCTYPE html>
<__html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>

</__body>
{$get_content}
<__body>
</__html>
I get a summary list of news articles and the 'MORE' link opens the detail page for that article.

BUT
If I use this template with the News tag built in:

Code: Select all

{content assign="get_content"}<!DOCTYPE html>
<__html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>

</__body>
{news inline="1"}
<__body>
</__html>
I get a summary list of news articles and the 'MORE' link doesn't do anything. The pretty URL changes but the page stays at the summary list.

A: The inline param does absolutely nothing (couldn't even find in the source where it was used).

B: What have you set for: Default page to use for detail views (News Module Options Tab).

C: Also, if the URL of the link looks right, but it doesn't cause a refresh and then at least the same page or a 404 coming up I would suspect:
a: javascript errors.
b: htaccess issues

D: Your page template on the detail page needs to have {content} in it somewhere (the assign stuff is fine) or otherwise the article details has nowhere to display.

Hi CalGuy,
Thanks for the reply.

Sorry for using News as an example, I was working under the assumption that every module with summary/detail templates had the 'inline' option. My bad.

Although the same thing happens for CGCalendar which does use 'inline'.
So if I put:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="CGCalendar" inline="1"}
in the page template the 'More' link doesn't replace this (CGCalendar) tag. I still have to set a default page in settings (with a content tag), to display the detail template. Then the return link doesn't work.

But if I put:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="CGCalendar" inline="1"}
in my page content it works perfectly without a default page set and the return link & pretty URLs work fine.

Detail links in CGBlog don't act in inline mode. They do replace the {content} tag of the destination page.

Inline mode will however make the next/prev month links behave inline. So that the link replaces the original tag. This is useful when you have the tag in the sidebar.

I just tested, and checked the code.
