News pagination broken? (solved)

I have a separate "news" page with "news" type. For some reason the pagination doesn't work. It just displayes the 5 most recent articles. The links come out just fine (page 1/4 > >>) but when opening let's say page 2 the content doesn't change.

Here's the url for the "next page" button:

Code: Select all

http://www.domain.com/cms/index.php?mact=News,newsmodule,default,1&newsmodulenumber=5&newsmodulemoretext=More...&newsmodulesortasc=0&newsmodulepagenumber=2&newsmodulereturnid=74&page=74
When I press the link nothing happens. I'm using the default template for the news list. CMSMS 1.1.1.

Any ideas? No url rewrite or anything.

EDIT: Btw, reinstall doesn't clear the news module tables even when you specifically tell the installer to write over existing data...

EDIT: I just did a clean install, added a news page with content type "news" and quess what. It doesn't work...

Edit: "Solved". News-type doesn't work so I just manually called the module from a normal page. I have no idea what's wrong with the news content type and I really don't care. I'm really getting frustrated with these small problems. Hopefully these issues are corrected on 2.0 instead of just creating new "cool" features...

The News content type is deprecated (it says so in News 2.5), and not maintained.  It will be discontinued all together for CMS 2.0

Ok. So why is it still available in current releases?

I think it at least should be commented out from current sourcecode if it is deprecated. Having it available as a content type when it's not supported is just stupid.

Wanna guess if the Finnish translation mentions that the news-content type is no longer supported? I just wasted plenty of time debugging this...

Edit: I have News 2.3.0.2. The one that comes with 1.1.1
