Jack_mcs Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Does this help, ran the test --- see it probably is something I am doing wrong Missing Code in File explain How can I run fill tags for the articles, the only thing that shows up is products and categories ? Header Tags doesn't handle the article manager related files in admin other than allowing the pages to be added and set so the test isn't helpful.

damejm Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I have loaded the this much needed contribution and am thankful for it. It is very easy to add articles. I have only one problem, I cannot load the article boxes. I can use the other functions of the contribution. I can load boxes for other functions, but I get the following errors when I try to load the article boxes. Warning: include(/home/public_html/mysite.com/orders/includes/languages/english/modules/boxes/header_tags_social_bookmarks.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/public_html/mysite.com/orders/admin/modules.php on line 129 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/public_html/mysite.com/orders/includes/languages/english/modules/boxes/header_tags_social_bookmarks.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/public_html/mysite.com/orders/admin/modules.php on line 129 Fatal error: Call to undefined function stripsid() in /home/public_html/mysite.com/orders/includes/modules/boxes/header_tags_social_bookmarks.php on line 23 During the installation, I could not find the following code in my installation: In catalog/tell-a-friend.php FIND (about line 153): <!-- body_text //--> <td width="100%" valign="top"><?php echo tep_draw_form('email_friend', tep_href_link(FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND, 'action=process&products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])); ?><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="pageHeading"><?php echo sprintf(HEADING_TITLE, $product_info['products_name']); ?></td> FIND (about line 268): <td><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) .

damejm Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I got the first part fixed. I had put a file in the wrong directory. I still can't figure the following out. During the installation, I could not find the following code in my installation: In catalog/tell-a-friend.php FIND (about line 153): <!-- body_text //--> <td width="100%" valign="top"><?php echo tep_draw_form('email_friend', tep_href_link(FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND, 'action=process&products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])); ?><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="pageHeading"><?php echo sprintf(HEADING_TITLE, $product_info['products_name']); ?></td> FIND (about line 268): <td><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_back.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BACK) . '</a>'; ?></td> Also, if I show blog articles the url is wrong. mysite.com/FILENAME_ARTICLE_BLOG?articles_id=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Also, if I show blog articles the url is wrong. mysite.com/FILENAME_ARTICLE_BLOG?articles_id=1 It means the installation is not correct.

mellowtothemax Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Also, if I show blog articles the url is wrong. mysite.com/FILENAME_ARTICLE_BLOG?articles_id=1 Hi I had this problem for my 2.3 OSC, all that was missing was define('FILENAME_ARTICLE_BLOG', 'article_blog.php'); from the catalog/includes/filenames.php It is included for drop over files but not included in the instructions for manually editing the files.

mellowtothemax Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hi, I am having problems with other languages. The infobox does not show the articles when a language other than English is chosen. Is there a conflict with the Ultimate_Seo_Urls_5_PRO_r205 contribution?

The article entries are created in the database with the correct language ids but for some reason they are not displayed. I will examine the installation instructions again but I am confident I didn't make any mistakes. I am using OSC 2.3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 2.3, you have to enable the box in admin->Module->Boxes so that may be the problem.

mellowtothemax Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 OK so I deleted all the old authors including articles from the admin page and created a new ones. For some reason now everything works as it should. Both languages display the articles in the infobox. However I have noticed a new problem regarding the 'submit your own article' from the store front. If the article is written and submitted by a user from the store front only the current store language options and fields are available unlike the admin page where all available language fields are available. This creates the problem that the article will only be available and visible in the language that it was written in. Also only the English language submitted articles become available in the admin page for approval. Even though the data does gets written to the database for the non-English, the articles are not available in the admin for approval. I already had enabled the boxes.

Those are probably coding issues. I don't see the pointing of displaying an article on a Spanish page when it was written in English (or whatever the languages are) but. I will add them to the list of things to look at for the next version.

mellowtothemax Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I understand your logic but I think it would be better if all the articles show up in the infobox irrespective of the store language, let the user decide if they want to read it or not. Could it not be implemented by either providing additional fields like the admin area and the user has the option to either write the article more than once, or have hidden language fields that autofill to the other languages available to the system with whatever was written and submitted by the users? I noticed that articles submitted in the current store language by users only become available to the admin page for that language. What I mean is that if the store is in english and an article is submitted for approval, it will only be visible in the article manager area of that language in the admin page if the admin has logged in for that language. ie if the article is submitted when the store front is in a different language the admin will have to log out of the english admin and log in with the other language in order to see and approve the article. I know what I wrote is a bit confusing but I hope you can make sense of it. Thanks by the way for the great work you have done so far for osc.

IWAS Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Ok I found a couple quirks. This doesn't seam to handle sub topics very well or maybe just in spots. on the article topics page http://absolutelyscooterparts.net/catalog/article-topics.php My whole service tips topic is omitted on the page but shows up in the box to the right. on the article topics page of scooter parts diagrams http://absolutelyscooterparts.net/catalog/scooter-parts-diagrams-t-4.html It doesn't show the sub topic, only the one article in the parent category. So when someone clicks the info box of scooter parts diagrams it brings up the parent category but doesn't show the sub topic accept in little print off in the info box. I don't know if this is a code issue or something I have configured wrong. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 That's probably a coding issue. I'll add it to the list.

audubonstrings Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 i noticed today that people were putting sql code in after the call to article_info.php and able to access alternate database information. i tried using other .php scripts and this is prevented from happening. is there a contribution to fix this?

audubonstrings Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 i've noticed sql code appended to calls to article_info.php that allows access to other database information. other files such as product_info.php do not allow this to occur. is this something that has been fixed or is it new?

Jack_mcs Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It sounds you are talking about cross scripting. As far as I know, this code should not allow it but it is possible. You'll need to ask in the general forums for cross scripting fixes though (there's a contribution for it).

discxpress Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Nevermind, I figured it out.

discxpress Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Jack, Is it possible to generate a xml site map of articles? I was wondering for seo purposes. Im sure with coding it can be done. That would be a great feature to add when you have the time. :) NOTE: I forgot to search first, found the answer.

Guest Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Not really a complaint or suggestion, more of a 'is this possible' kind of question (osc 2.3.1, latest ver of Article Manager). I've got two topics (Let's call them Topic1 and Topic2), each with say 4-5 articles per topic. What I'd like to do is display an independant Articles box in the left hand menu for each topic, so something like this: (box header) Topic1 -------- Article1 Article2 Article3 (box terminator) (box header) Topic2 --------- Article 1a Article 2a Article 3a (box terminator) Instead, what I end up with is this: (box header) Default Topic ---------------- Article 1 Article 2 Article 1a Article 3 (box terminator) I'm pretty sure I can fake this out, either by trapping the (box terminator) and then adding a hardcoded Topic2 box in the same bm_articles.php, or by creating an entirely new 'bm_articles_topic2.php' specifically for Topic2. What I was wondering is if there's an 'easy' way to do it using the traditional Article Manager configuration. Apologies if this is in the wrong place; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if this is in the wrong place; I'm not sure I understand what you are asking but it sounds like you want the articles broken up into separate infoboxes. If that is the case, there isn't anything in the code that will allow that. You would need to duplicate the articles infobox and then edit it to only show what you wanted.
