News 2.0

[Alex_Leipzig]

Just installed the latest News Module from SVN (working with 10beta2). That screwed it up completely:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: starttabheaders() in /data/homewww/isuew/webdir/cms/modules/News/News.module.php on line 1018

This is the code in the file:

Code: Select all

	                                 #The tabs
	                                 echo $this->StartTabHeaders();

	                                 echo $this->SetTabHeader('articles',$this->Lang('articles'));
	                                 echo $this->SetTabHeader('categories',$this->Lang('categories'));
	                                 echo $this->SetTabHeader('summary_template',$this->lang('summarytemplate'));
	                                 echo $this->SetTabHeader('detail_template',$this->Lang('detailtemplate'));

	                                 echo $this->EndTabHeaders();

What's wrong with the tabs here?

The tab code has changed between beta2 and current svn.  Current News will only work on current CMSMS from svn.

[Alex_Leipzig]

Would I have to update the whole CMSMS or just a few files?

[Ted]

The whole thing...  I would put the News code back and wait for beta3 unless you're feeling daring.

We should have a definite date today for beta3's release.

I have News 2.0 working from the daily snaphost (last night) now. It took a few tests (and debug) to realise that I have to change an article from Draft to Published before I could see anything....;-(
The only problem is that it still can't seem to parse the lang files - I always get
--Add Me - module:News string:help-- for example.

Am I right in assuming that additional templates are defined in the News/template directory and not in the DB? Selection is via summarytemplate= & detailtemplate= in the {cms_module tag module="news"}?

Finally, a general problem: admin throws
Notice: Undefined index: module in d:\develop\easyphp1-8\www\cms\lib\classes\class.admintheme.inc.php on line 122
at startup and for any menu selection

Sorry, forgot to say - it looks very good

I would put the News code back

Did that and it's alright, except ... in the admin section, there's nowhere to edit the news!
And what about beta3?

[pinthenet]

Just did an install of the daily snapshot on a different test installation (Linux) and I don't get the undefined index there. This was a 'cleaner' install- I had been messing about with files from svn on the other (Windows) installation - probably had a version conflict.

Stlll can't get the help for News though.

Will the final News include WYSIWYG editting?

Alex already mentioned the problems when selecting German as the language in this thread:

http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 931.0.html

I found the same problem with the Norwegian translation. Actually I did not realise that the existing lang files were not updated with the new items required for the new News module, so that was one side of the problem.

Secondly,  I see a very strange behaviour when translating the $lang['detailtemplate'] and $lang['summarytemplate'] items. If they are changed the output is deprecated as shown in the thread I referred previously. (You could try just changing them in the english language file. That will cause the same problem).

So Wishy, you could throw away the Norwegian translation I sent you yesterday. I'll have to rewrite them anyway.

I think I might have an idea what this is all about.  I'm going to do some testing tonight to see if I'm right, though I really have limited time.  I'm realizing a deadline is closer than I thought...
