[Solved] News Module CMSMS 1.2.2

[howey]

Hi

I am a newbie and seem to be having a few problems implementing the News Module.

I have included the tag

Code: Select all

{* Start News *}
<div id="rightcolumn2"><div id="newscontent">
          {news number='3' detailpage='news' }
</div></div>
{* End News *}

in my home page. The sample articles appear but showing the main text. I went to the nes section and edited the default articles to include summary text. But they still displayed the full text. Read a bit about the templates and got a bit stuck on how to get any further.

At this point I thought that I would try adding a new article with summary and main body text from the start to see if that would help. On trying to creat a new article I got the error message

Code: Select all

DEBUG: SQL = INSERT INTO csc_module_news (news_id, news_category_id, news_title, 
news_data, summary, status, news_date, start_time, end_time, create_date, modified_date,author_id,news_extra) 
VALUES (5,'2','Coalville News','Longer text please not the summary','Summary Text','published',
'2007-12-17 17:06:08','2007-12-17 17:06:08',NULL,'2007-12-17 17:06:43','2007-12-17 17:06:43','1','')
Unknown column 'news_extra' in 'field list'

Any help as to what is going wrong with adding an article and how to customise things would be great.

Howey,

something went wrong in the upgrade of your News table, as the latest field is missing. You should manually add that field in the DB.

Or if you dont have any specific entries in there yet, reinstall the news-module.

Thanks for the info – I have added solved to the subject line.

I just need to poke about and find a bit more about the parameters in the news module – hopefully I'll get there in the end.

Cheers
