CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi everyone, i need your precious help

for my website, i needed to add a field in the MySQL Database, so i add the field "image_path" in the table "cms_module_news". This field contains the image's path link to the news posted on my website.

I also made a plugin called "get_imagepath" :

Execute($query);

if ($dbresult && $dbresult->RowCount() > 0) {
$row = $dbresult->FetchRow();
echo $row['image_path'];
}
}


function smarty_cms_help_function_get_imagepath() {
?>
What does this do?
Displays the picture linked to your news.
How do I use it?
Just insert the tag into your page like: {get_imagepath fileid=""}
What parameters does it take?


fileid - the news id from the MySQL Database

the plug'in works !!!!
I also made a news template and here is my problem

{if $entry->id}
id}'}" align="left" width="114" height="90"/>
{/if}

As you can see above, i used the "get_imagepath method"  but the '{$entry->id}' do NOT work in it.
Why??? we can not a "{...}" method in an another "{...}" ?? If not, how can i make this happens?

The {get_imagepath fileid='5'} works fine but not {get_imagepath fileid='{$entry->id}'}. WHY NOT?

i hope you can help me out.
thx, alex

Did you try: {get_imagepath field=$entry->id}?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH
thx dude
it works.... i worked until 4am last night so i didn't test that possibility

Last thing:
Is that possible in the admin panel (content > news > add news), to add a field in order to write into "image_path" which is in my database?
Because i currently writing into it by phpmyadmin and not from the admin panel... can i change the way i'm writing into it?

thank you for your help

Modify modules/News/News.module.php.  Look for the addcontent and editcontent actions.  You should be able to add the fields there, and just modify the INSERT and UPDATE queries to have your new field as well.  It should be pretty easy.

thank you for your quick answer
i can not find the addcontent and the editcontent i found some INSERT queries but i think it's during the installation when cmsms creates the table...
so if you can help me out... it could be great

i found "addarticle" and "editarticle"
but what i did not find it's the way to add a field in the admin panel > add article



here are the modifications  i made, i didn't manage to add a field in the admin panel

line 848 case "addarticle":
$imagepath = '';
if (isset($params['imagepath']))
{
$imagepath = $params['imagepath'];
}

[...]


line 968 #Display template
$this->smarty->assign('imagepath', $this->Lang('imagepath'));
$this->smarty->assign('inputimagepath', $this->CreateInputText($id, 'imagepath', $imagepath, 30, 255));

problem solved
if someone needs help about this... just ask

Ah, yes, addarticle and editarticle.  That's what I get for answering the forum at 6 am.

lol
but the editarticle does not work properly it does not update the database

$query = 'UPDATE '.cms_db_prefix().'module_news SET news_title=?, news_data=?, summary=?, status=?, news_date=?, news_category_id=?, start_time=?, end_time=?, modified_date=? image_path=? WHERE news_id = ?';

if ($useexp == 1)
{
$db->Execute($query, array($title, $content, $summary, $status, $db->DBTimeStamp($postdate), $usedcategory, $db->DBTimeStamp($startdate), $db->DBTimeStamp($enddate), $db->DBTimeStamp(time()), $articleid,  $imagepath));
}
else
{
$db->Execute($query, array($title, $content, $summary, $status, $db->DBTimeStamp($postdate), $usedcategory, NULL, NULL, $db->DBTimeStamp(time()), $articleid, $imagepath));
}

works great

$db->Execute($query, array($title, $content, $summary, $status, $db->DBTimeStamp($postdate), $usedcategory, NULL, NULL, $db->DBTimeStamp(time()),  $imagepath, $articleid));

$imagepath before $articleid
