echo SELENGKAPNYA;

You can rearrange the code in news.php to strip HTML first, then trim the subtitle to length (the code currently strips HTML after, leaving short subtitles):

Around line 302 in my news.php, change 2 lines to:

<td class="main" colspan="2"><?php $content = substr(strip_tags($listing['content']), 0, NEWS_CHARACTERS);
echo $content;?>....</td>

All that I've done is to move the strip_tags function so that the substr function operates on plain text.

This has a fix for the invalid RSS feed.

Update V 1.4: Replace the /catalog/rss.php with yours.

I have fixed support for multi languages. Adding articles looks and works the same as adding product names and descriptions.

I have also fixed a couple of other problems. Updated previews inside package.

This contribution is sort of a news blog. You can make new articles from the admin section of Oscommerce. Users can add comments to your articles. You have complete editing control in the admin section.
Every article is sorted by date in the store and the admin section. I used the mysql SELECT DISTINCT function to sort the dates. It has a static automatic RSS feed function. When you write a new article all you have to do click "Create RSS" and your done. Users will always be up to date. See the preview pics in the preview folder.
