News are not shown

[Erich le Ghaz]

Hi,

after upgrading to 1.1.4.1 I have two problems with the news (2.3.0.2).

1. They aren't shown in the sidebar anymore. I didn't change the statement in the template

Code: Select all

  {cms_module module="news" number='3' detailpage='news' category='News'} 

2. The whole news-site (http://www.easy-breeze.de/index.php?page=news) has an error: string(87) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "module_db_tpl:News;summarycwo_news_summary.tpl""

I'm using the following statement for the page

Code: Select all

{news number='40' detailtemplate='cwo_news_details.tpl' summarytemplate='cwo_news_summary.tpl'}

Hope you can help!

Christian,

from 1.1 on News-templates are DB-driven, that means that the file-templates aren't used anymore. If you have a copy of the templates/or check the templates under News/templates, you should recreate the templates in the backend. First create the default template, then create one/save it and mark it as default. This should be done for both summary and detail.

Hi Ronny,

thanks for your answer. 

I think I got something wrong. I tried to restore my summary and detail template via admin menue under news. Is that what you meant? Iit did't work. I got message: deprecated

Christian,

I meant in the news-module, the tabs "Summary template" and "Detail template", there a template (under the textarea) must exist that is marked as default. The only "deprecating" I know in news is the use of Content-Type in adding a page, that is no longer supported.

Where do you get that message?

Hallo Ronny,

yes, I'm going via admin menue to the news module. There I choose the tab summary template. The text area is filled with:


{foreach from=$items item=entry}


{if $entry->formatpostdate}

{$entry->formatpostdate}

{/if}


{$entry->titlelink}



{eval var=$entry->summary}



{/foreach}


Than I push the button "Restore to dafaults" and get the message "deprecated  "

Christian,

what if you check below that text-area, there is the default-template, stored. Create a new one, with your coding, save it and mark it as default.
Probably not all files are overwritten, as the old template-files should be replaced with the new default files, but that should not be any problem.

Hallo Ronny,

lol, maybe I'm a bit stupid, but what do you mean with "below". There is nothing below.



Where can I mark it as a default??

What is your News version, check under "Extensions -> Modules"?

Hi Ronny,

I'm running 1.1.4.1 with news 2.3.0.2.

If you don't have any news items you care about, I would uninstall News then reinstall it, it may go to News 2.5...

[Erich le Ghaz]

And it will work with 1.1.4.1?

[Dr.CSS]

Yes...
