RESOLVED : News Module Says It Is Removed

[bcsweb1]

1. Latest Version of CMS - 1.2
2. News Module 2.6

I had to remove and re-install the News Module and now when I do this:

Content - Pages - Add New Content - Content Type -----

The NEWS selection now shows :

News (removed)

And when I select it I get this..

The news content type has been removed. Please place {news} tags with appropriate parameters into your page template or into your page content to replace this functionality.

But in my template I looked at the {news} tags are still there..

Code: Select all

<td><div id="news-container">{news}</div></td> 

Yet - the default news article appears on my site????

Any ideas?

The default CMS templates have the news tag {news} in the left hand column.... that's why it works.  News as a 'page type' is no longer supported.

Ok, so how do I link to the NEWS page?

So it is a menu choice?

Also - is there a way to remove the Page Type "NEWS (removed) so the people will not get confused?

Using the standard template in the demo on http://opensourcecms.com the news page works.

In a new, clean installation (downloaded on 16/11/07) clicking on the news tag in the left hand column creates a 404 error.

Does the standard template need to be changed ?

10 minutes after I posted this I answered my own question !

Change :
          {news number='3' detailpage='news'}

to :
          {news number='3' detailpage='content'}
