Hello!
I would like to include the formatpostdate in the same paragraph as the summary. How do I do this? I also want to edit the formatpostdate so it looks like "(T&M 2007-05-14) instead of just "2007-05-14". How do I go about fixing that?

Regards
J

In Content -> News -> Summary template:

Delete postdate section:

Code: Select all

{if $entry->formatpostdate}
	<div class="NewsSummaryPostdate">
		{$entry->formatpostdate}
	</div>
{/if}

and in (Summary section):

Code: Select all

{if $entry->summary}
	<div class="NewsSummarySummary">
		{eval var=$entry->summary}
	</div>

	<div class="NewsSummaryMorelink">
		[{$entry->morelink}]
	</div>
{/if}

add:

Code: Select all

{if $entry->summary}
	<div class="NewsSummarySummary">
		{$entry->formatpostdate}
		{eval var=$entry->summary}
	</div>

	<div class="NewsSummaryMorelink">
		[{$entry->morelink}]
	</div>
{/if}

Call module:
{news [other param from help] dateformat="(T&M %Y-%m-%d)"}

Thanks! The above helped. But getting the formatpostdate in the end of the summary is still not working. I want it like this:

Alby, your examples lets me move the formatpostdate around, but it still won't join the text in the summary.

My test with:
{cms_module module="news" number="2" category="Home" dateformat="(T&M %Y-%m-%d)" moretext="dettaglio..."}
and

Code: Select all

{if $entry->summary}
	<div class="NewsSummarySummary">
		{eval var=$entry->summary}
		{$entry->formatpostdate}
	</div>
	<div class="NewsSummaryMorelink">
		[{$entry->morelink}]
	</div>
{else if $entry->content}
	<div class="NewsSummaryContent">
		{eval var=$entry->content}
	</div>
{/if}

work well, see attach img

Hi Alby. Thanks for all the help. It's still not working though I copied and pasted your code. My summary template looks like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- Start News Display Template -->
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<div class="NewsSummary">
<div class="NewsSummaryTitle">
	{$entry->title}
</div>


{if $entry->summary}
	<div class="NewsSummarySummary">
		{eval var=$entry->summary}
		{$entry->formatpostdate}
	</div>
	<div class="NewsSummaryMorelink">
		[{$entry->morelink}]
	</div>
{else if $entry->content}
	<div class="NewsSummaryContent">
		{eval var=$entry->content}
	</div>
{/if}

</div>
{/foreach}
<!-- End News Display Template -->

But my output looks like this:

Could it be something in the CSS?

Code: Select all

.NewsSummarySummary {
font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;
	font-size: 95%;
	line-height: 1.5em;
	color: #4A4A4A;
}

I am scratching my head. Not only is the date not added just after the word "styrelse", but both the date and the link are on the edge of the page, while they should be lining up with paragraph above...

Look to html source page.
The problem, probably, is a paragraph of summary, ex:

Code: Select all

<div class="NewsSummarySummary">
<p>summary text</p>
(T&M 2007-05-21)
</div>

Try to drop html tag from summary with html source button in your WYSIWYG or select "none" in WYSIWYG field (User Preference)

and change (for link):

Code: Select all

{if $entry->summary}
	<div class="NewsSummarySummary">
		{eval var=$entry->summary}
		{$entry->formatpostdate}
		[{$entry->morelink}]
	</div>
{else if $entry->content}
	<div class="NewsSummaryContent">
		{eval var=$entry->content}
	</div>
{/if}

Where would I look to find the HTML? (Or did I miss something here?)

Alby, you are right. There's a paragraph of summary. How do I get the date within the paragraph? Sorry to be a such a slowhead...

Add date in summary text

Ok , for strip html tag (ex. p) in news article summary, you have two method:
1. Summary text only.
If you use TinyMCE, in last version, there is a option for display a button to turn wysiwyg on/off in textarea (in this case summary textarea). Turn off and edit your summary text. Result is text only.
Or, in User preferences, switch to "none" the field: Select WYSIWYG to use (Turn off all WYSIWYG textarea)

2. You know html tag.
In WYSIWYG of summary textarea (FCK or Tiny) there is a button for switch to html source. Strip p starting tag (and relative close tag), ex:

Code: Select all

<p>   <----- start tag
qwerty <tag>qwerty</tag> qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty
qwerty qwerty <tag>qwerty</tag> qwerty qwerty qwerty
</p>   <---- end tag

Or hack action.editaricle.php (transform summary textarea in inputtext):

Code: Select all

Find the row:
   $this->smarty->assign('inputsummary', $this->CreateTextArea(true, $id, $summary, 'summary', '', '', '', '', '80', '3'));

and substitute with (note #):
   $this->smarty->assign('inputsummary', $this->CreateInputText($id, 'summary', $summary, 75, 500));
# $this->smarty->assign('inputsummary', $this->CreateTextArea(true, $id, $summary, 'summary', '', '', '', '', '80', '3'));

I'll try this. Sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner. I have been out of town.

Hi Alby!

I had to pause the project for a few months but now I am on it again. I've just tried what you suggest in the post above but it's not helping. If I erase the and it just looks like this (everything ends up in the marginal):

If I edit the code like you suggested nothing happens (that I can see anyway).

Any more ideas?

Then you need to add padding to div...
