News not supported as menu item

[niedermayer]

I have a number of menu items that displays news from certain categories. After upgrading from v1.1.4.1 and news 2.3 to v1.2 and news 2.5.1, I get a "unsupported" when having a news category as a menu item. Now when I add more news to a certain category, they won't show up when I go to that page.

This was really nice as my menu manager could set different css classes to the menu items, and thereby having different images for the different items. Like this:

Code: Select all

{if $node->type == 'content'}
<li class="pageitem"><a href="{$node->url}"> {$node->menutext} </a>
{elseif $node->type == 'link'}
<li class="links"><a href="{$node->url}"> {$node->menutext} </a>
{else}
<li class="news"><a href="{$node->url}"> {$node->menutext} </a>

Will I have to replace my news items with content with a {news category="blabla"}-tag? (just tested and this does not work either..news does not show. So this is another problem of mine)

Any hints, tips or solutions much appreciated.

niedermayer,

you mean you call NEWS using the content-type =News in the content-pages. That is no longer supported as not all logic included in the NEWS-module could be used in the calling of content-type. If you used it before, it will work in the new-release as well, it is only meant to say that not all features are working (like pagination) when you use the content-type (NEWS).

yes, news as the content-type. And it does work.

Seems to be a problem with one specific news item. It just won't show at all. Strange.
