Do you enter a subject and details, as they are mandatory. Summary is optional.

yes... I enter in all 3 boxes

Hi jmansa,

maybe a cache problem?

What do you mean "but the new article is not in the database"? Did you look into the MySQL database and it isn't there? Or do you think it's not there because it is not shown in the article list?

And where is it not shown? Back-end news list? Or front-end?

Kind regards
Michael

I am having the same problem - it all started when I upgraded to 1.1.  I have uninstalled news module 2.3 and reinstalled - no luck.  I have even downgraded to news 2.2 and I have the same result. 

Does anyone else have any ideas I can try?

Thanks

I have same problem. After ugrading to 1.0.8 ver (from 1.0.2 step by step), status in news not showing in other users, "admin" user may change the status.

I don't know what to do...

Database looking fine, maybe news module problem? Any errors with upgrading ?

That isn't the problem I am having - after I create a news article it never even shows up in the admin area It says its added but there are no articles listed.....

The weird thing is that the module_news table in the database contains the data, its just not showing up in CMSMS

ANY ideas??

Thanks for the help Frank -

I looked at my cms_module_news_seq table and the Last Value field matches up with number of news articles in the table cms_module_news, so in my case I don't think that's the problem.

There must be a problem with the link between my admin back-end and my database because there is data in my news database tables, it just doesn't show up in news admin area (or where it is called with {news} on the main page)  I don't know much about the back-end programming so if anyone has any other possible ideas I would really appreciate it

I'm positive, that I have the very same problem. Like fprins I've moved my site from another cms, in my case it was an older version of cmsms. When moving the site contents I noticed, that the database still held my old news articles. To access the database, I need an ssl- shell access, right? I think I have to contact my provider for this..

In version 2.2 there is a field in the bottom of the news entry which contains the status of the news article. If the status is draft, it will never be shown to the public. However if the status is published, it will appear.
Was the fields status available in the previous versions? If not, has this field been populated to Draft during upgrading?
Hope it is this simple

i noticed, that the standard value now is 'published' while in earlier versions it was 'draft'. however, even as a 'draft' a message should appear in the database for becoming 'published' later. but the problem we all have is, that the messages don't appear at all- whether on the site nor in the administration console. we get the message 'msg successfully sent' and then they seem to disappear in the nirvana . i didn't have the time yet, to look at the database itself, infact it will be my first contact with mySQL. i hope it won't take me too much time to work myself into it, since i'm a bit short of time now. i would be glad of any hints of course.

You did check the rights checkbox that came with the new News version.

'Approve News For Frontend Display'

This is a new rights-thing. You might have to set it to see posts that are waiting to be approved.

i've checked it- still nothing. the only thing i see in the 'articles'- tab are the filter- settings and the 'add new article'- button. plus the message 'article successfully added', when i've tried to add somthing.
