[SOLVED] News Module Warning: Parameter description...

[fearmydesign]

Hello, I keep getting the following error on every article that I try adding to the News Module.

Warning: Parameter description is not known by module News dropped in /home/content/43/11408043/html/lib/misc.functions.php on line 1411

You can see it here:

I tried looking at the file misc.functions.php on line 1411 - but needless to say that I have no clue what it says nor do I want to mess with that because I don't want to damage anything. But I can tell you some of the troubleshooting I have done.

I moved this site from a different directory while building; so I cleared the Cache before & after... in fact several times since. Everything works perfect including the News module except for this warning above the Detail of each article
I updated both the content status hierarchy positions + routes.

I also tried deactivating the module, clearing cache again and reactivate. I tried isolating the error by removing pieces of the Detail template code, but nothing made the error go away.

I also tried removing the custom URL I put on the article. I changed the Default page to use for detail view, still nothing.

Could there be something wrong with my misc.functions.php file?
Any suggestions? Thank you

Looks like you are calling News with a description= parameter
and that parameter is not known by that module.

Thx Calguy... mmn I am calling it like this: {news}
Am I missing a parameter maybe? I also tried it where I called the templates but that didn't do anything as I have them assigend as the default:

{news summarytemplate="summary" detailtemplate="Detail"}

Yes, I always make sure to have the latest version installed + all modules up to date before I post questions 1.11.9 and PHP 5.3.24
This is a fresh install.

Well something is passing the 'description' parameter to the news module.

You may have to play an isolation game to see what is causing it.... maybe start with a bare default template and see if you can reproduce the problem.

Have you checked pages, GCB's and HTML-template if there is another {news ...} call.

Yeap, so this is my Detail Template now:

Code: Select all

<!-- EMPTY -->

...and still get the same error without anything inside the template. Taka a look: http://cicounters.com/importance-of-kitchen-design
With an 'Empty' template I wouldn't know what else to isolate... I removed block by block of code from it

...I guess I'll just install the CGBlog or something else. Thanks for your help though.

it's not the detail template you have to worry about, it's the page template, and/or summary template.

ahh ok... let me check that. thx

[fearmydesign]

You were right... all this time I was troubleshooting the News Module Templates... but on my page template originally I labeled the {content description='right'} so I removed the description='right' and now it works. I only did that because on this particular template I had a right & left column. Ugh!
Thank you much for everyone's help.

You're using the AdvancedContent module?

You're using the AdvancedContent module?

No, I never heard of that module before. Here is a screen shot. Usually I stick to the basic modules for my installations (at least the ones I know)
