CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

Running CMSMSMLE 1.6 with News 2.10, I followed Tips & Tricks #5 to display different news to each language site:
- the 3 categories : en_US, de_DE and fr_FR
- the call in the template : {news category='$lang' number='3' detailpage='news'}
But News don't display the summary articles.
So I tried with other categories like General-en_US, .... with the call like General-$lang, but still no news, with child categories it don't work better. It only works without the $lang, for example with category='en_us'. I read related articles in the forum : other CMSMS users seem to have it working with $lang. Why not me ?

Try

Never use ' for variable, use " or better `

Hello Alby,

Thanks for replying!

With " there is no news summary and with ` there is a php message instead of news summary :

Warning: Division by zero in /home/www/a11cee77a1b8b951ec7e1b6a39935027/web/modules/News/action.default.php on line 183
Warning: Division by zero in /home/www/a11cee77a1b8b951ec7e1b6a39935027/web/modules/News/action.default.php on line 184

I tried to set number=`1` but the message is the same.
Line 183-184 of default.action.php say :

  $pagecount = (int)($count / $pagelimit);
  if( ($count % $pagelimit) != 0 ) $pagecount++;

Could I modify something to have it run ?

Best regards

I'll try this, I didn't knew this {capture} tag - thank you

Edit 1: As I have just 3 categories like en_US, de_DE and fr_FR, I tried with :
            {capture assign='temp'}{$lang}{/capture}
            {news category=$temp number='3' detailpage='news'}
But I still have the news summary empty.

Edit 2: I tried with

            {capture assign=´temp´}{$lang}{/capture}
            {news category=$temp number=´3´ detailpage=´news´}

Following Alby's advice and I get the same php error :
Warning: Division by zero in /home/www/a11cee77a1b8b951ec7e1b6a39935027/web/modules/News/action.default.php on line 183

What are exactly your category?
Try to display with your name:  category="name_of_category"

After substitute relative category with lang (for example: General-en_US with General-$lang) if General-en_US is your category and en_US is your current lang when display

Alby

My categories are en_US, de_DE and fr_FR.
When the call contains category="en_US", no problem. When I substitute with $lang, category="$lang" I get the error message.

I tried the code from Blast2007 and it works almost perfect (I have to modify for startperiod and then everything green):

{capture assign='currentdate'}{current_date format="%F" }{/capture}
{CGFeedMaker action='rsslink' feed='fr_FR,de_DE,en_US' text=' ' image='/images/cms/RSS_feed.png'}
Informations

{news category="en_US,de_DE,fr_FR" sortasc="true" number="3" summarytemplate="optimized_summary" detailtemplate="optimized_details"}

But... with $lang parameter in Blast2007 code, nohope. I don't understand why in that case nothing is display in the summary field.

Do you have anything in the summary of these news items?...

? Yes, each article has a small summary.

If  works
your current language is "en_US"
category "en_US" is filled with not empty news
and doesn't work In my opinion $lang is not equal to "en_US"

try to debug it:
create UDT "var_dump" use it {var_dump var=$lang} and you will see details of variable "$lang"

Hello Pecuria,

The UDT returns : string(3) "usa"    (when in the english pages of the site)
The UDT returns :  string(3) "deu"    (when in the german pages of the site)
The UDT returns :  string(3) "fra"    (when in the french pages of the site)

This seems to have been defined in "MLE Languages" in the Admin.

That's it! Pecuria your opinion is right : following the tuto for mle 1.6 I set up deu, usa and fra where I should have entered de_DE, en_US and fr_FR... I made this wrong because the website'folder "is not writable from php!" and I edited config_lang.php by hand and not by wysiwyg in the admin section. It is a host on which I can't change this php setting : sad.

Thank you for pointing this to me!
Best regards
