Hi,
im using CMS Made Simple 0.12.1 and News module 2.0.3
Ive set up my news module for my site, i have two columns. the left column displays the news when u click 'more' in the news summary and the news summary is displayed on the left. However when i open the page no default news comes up on the left, instead i get this code: string(43) "Smarty error: eval: missing 'var' parameter".
The news summary on the right is all set up correctly but How do i go about setting up so the news part on the left has a default opening text when the page opens?
Thanks..

How are you using the news tag?
What is diff. between left tag and right tag?

Are you using {cms_module module='news'} as the tag?

Is something happening about fixing this error? I now have it on one of my sites and nothing I do seems to fix it.
I am using CMSMS V0.13. My news detail template is as follows:
Code: Select all
<h3 id="NewsPostDetailTitle">{eval var=$entry->title}</h3>
<hr id="NewsPostDetailHorizRule">
{if $entry->formatpostdate}
<p id="NewsPostDetailDate">
{$entry->formatpostdate}
</p>
{/if}
<p id="NewsPostDetailContent">
{eval var=$entry->content}
</p>
<p id="NewsPostDetailPrintLink">
{$entry->printlink}
{if $return_url != ""}
| {$return_url}
{/if}
| {cms_selflink page='30' text='See more news'}
</p>
{cms_module module="comments" modulename="News" pageid=$entry->id emailfield=1 websitefield=1 spamprotect=1 notify="president@mraqld.org"}
My news module placement code is:
Code: Select all
{cms_module module='news' number='3' moretext='Read article' dateformat='%d/%m/%Y' detailpage='latest_news'}
The 'latest_news' page looks like:
Code: Select all
{cms_module module='news' dateformat='%d/%m/%Y' entry='content' detailpage='latest_news' returntext='Back to Latest News' moretext='Read article'}
I have tried restoring default templates also, and no joy.
Need help urgently!

You only need one page to have the news tag in it unless it's a page that is going to have news on it also, if it's just a landing page no tag needed... if nothing but a landing page and it's not shown in the menu then when you make it just put  : in the content box so you don't get a "No Content" error...
You may want to go to Extensions > Modules and click the word 'Help' to the right of News to see if it takes the detail page parameter... nad other parameters/instructions also visit the Handbook for more info...
