Guest Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Anyone with experience... With Article Man, can I select which Articles are for public viewing and what are only viewable by those that register with the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauren4521 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hello! I got a problem :huh: Everything works fine, except the articles are not showing. I can create them in admin and they get stored in the database, however they just aint showing up. I get "There are currently no articles listed." and "No new articles have been added in the last 30 days." What could possible be wrong? I have double checked the installment several times and everything seems to be corrects. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This same thing happened to me. Ends up I was entering in the article under the TOPIC DESCRIPTION...rather than entering the topic and description and THEN clicking on ADD ARTICLE. Figured I'd mention it in case you're doing the same thing I did. Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ends up I was entering in the article under the TOPIC DESCRIPTION...rather than entering the topic and description and THEN clicking on ADD ARTICLE. Figured I'd mention it in case you're doing the same thing I did. Lauren <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep that worked.. Or the case was that entering an article under a topic didnt really sort it under the topic, so I had to move it. Didnt think of that until you mentioned it. thanks Edited August 11, 2005 by prinsviktor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauren4521 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Great contribution! I am not sure who is supporting this but figured I'd post the issues I had with installation in case those more experienced with PHP can check and/or add them to the contribs (I"m too afraid too!) :blush: Anyhow...I installed v1.2b from 5/24. I added the contrib "bug fix" from Bedo on 4/16 (which is a bug fix for the Articles on Top Level contrib addition) and a breadcrumb fix I found in the forums (sorry forgot to jot down name). So here are the issues I had; some tiny, some notso; 1) I don't know enough to know if it makes a difference but the database script was this: article_manager_sql.txt and I had never imported a file like that so I changed it to: article_manager_sql.sql (which is how the install instructions refers to it) 2) Install instructions call you add definitions to a file; includes/languages/english/english.php it should be (obvious to most, I know) includes/languages/english.php 3) breadcrumb fix is (again forgot person's name who wrote this); in file; includes/appication_top.php FIND CODE: (around line 524) $breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE_DEFAULT, tep_href_link(FILENAME_ARTICLES)); DIRECTLY ABOVE IT, ADD: $breadcrumb->add($topics['topics_name'], tep_href_link(FILENAME_ARTICLES, 'tPath=' . implode('_', array_slice($tPath_array, 0, ($i+1))))); 4) The manual step by step "Tell a Friend" instructions - first I was getting errors. I made the following changes and the errors were fixed. In catalog/tell_a)friend.php; Around line 16, find the code; $navigation->set_snapshot(); I replaced it with; $navigation->set_snapshot; Then around line 116, find code; }elseif (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { I replaced it with; elseif (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { All the errors diappeared. BUT it still isn't working right. I overwrote the file with a backup copy. Here's what this is doing; 1) email is sent with no subject line 2) personal note you fill out does not appear in email 3) landing page after submitting email says "success - email has been sent) at top but you land on a page that says "product not found" 4) the link in the email sent sends you to this "product not found" page. Again, I am NOT a coder (but I can decipher and read errors well). Do not make the tell_a_friend changes unless you know what you are doing...just putting it out there in case there are obvious PHP errors that someone can pick up. I'm going to play around with this file when I have time and see if I can't get things working better. But any more experienced willing to support this fab contrib are welcome at it!

simplyclesha Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi I installed 1.2b with spanish. I wanted to be able to have my articles in spanish when that language option is selected. I just installed the Header Tags Controller and now all of my headers and product names are in spanish. Is there a conflict or did I install the wrong package? Quote Thanks!

lian8 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Sorry for double posting. I was suppose to post my question here but must have clicked the wrong button. Anyway.... I've installed Article Manager v1.2 and made modifications under the "allow articles in top level" contrib. I've turned off the show new articles and all articles links at my Article Box. So basically what I am shooting for is a list of articles in the Article Box. So I followed what was suggested which was to have my article name and topic name the same. This is great! Unfortunately, the number of letters allowed is limited for "topic". So instead of having the following showing in my Article Box: 1. Teaching children through stories I have this showing instead: 1. Teaching children through sto Question: How do I increase the number of letters allowed for "topic" so the entire sentence can be seen in my Article Box? Please help.

Gazza_Dude Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Can no one help me with the question above? You can go to my website www.valuebookshop.com and have a look at the article box on the right column to see what I am talking about. Please help. :'( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Lian, You will have to increase the length for the topic name in you database. The topic name is currently set to 32 characters, enter the code below into your database to increase it to 64 characters. The easiest method would be to manually change the topics name varchar from 32 to 64 by accessing the table via phpMyAdmin. If your not to familiar with making changes to the database yourself, then run this on your MySQL database (through phpMyAdmin etc.): DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `topics_description`; CREATE TABLE `topics_description` ( `topics_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `language_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '1', `topics_name` varchar(64) NOT NULL default '', `topics_heading_title` varchar(64) default NULL, `topics_description` text, PRIMARY KEY (`topics_id`,`language_id`), KEY `idx_topics_name` (`topics_name`) ) TYPE=MyISAM; Basically this will reset (empty) all the values in the topics description and update the topic name to 64 characters. If you have already added information to these fields they will be lost, and you will have to re-enter them again. Note: BACKUP - BACKUP - BACKUP before making any changes to your database. Hope this helps... Gazza..... Quote There is no justice ...... Just Us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of your site looks ok, the problem is only with the index.php You will have to make some small adjustments to the table widths etc... This may be a good place to start looking.. Try looking around the body text area on your index.php : <tr> <td width="400" align="center" valign="middle"><p><font color="#006600" size="5" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Your premier online <br> specialty bookshop for <br> parents and children <br> in Malaysia and Singapore.</strong></font></p> <p> </p></td> <td width="400" align="center" valign="middle"><img src="images/collage.jpg" width="253" height="200"></td> </tr> Above code taken from your index.php Good luck, Gazza....

pootify Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi, I recently applied the register_globals patch to an OsCommerce site that had the New Attributes v.5 installed. Now when I go to the Attributes Manager page (new_attributes.php) and click the edit button, it just refreshes the page and goes nowhere. Does anyone know if the register_globals patches could have broken the attributes contribution, or is it something else? Thanks in advance!

alexge Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi, This contribution works like charm. I'm having one problem though, not with this contribution, it's related. The HTMLArea module that comes with this contribution, can it be used by other pages? like product desc, email, newsletter? There are a few other HTMLArea contributions, but they all add the htmlarea folder to the admin folder. it would be great if we just need to install one copy of htmlarea and link all the pages to it. any ideas?

bongo Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Great Contribution...but I'm still not there. I'm using MS2 and STS (Simple Template System) with Header Tags already installed. Admin works fine Catalog Side bars infoboxes show fine 1. If I click an author in the infobox AUTHORS I get the correct page with text but the page is not wrapped by my theme plus the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clean_html_comments() in C:\xampp\htdocs\catalog\includes\modules\article_listing.php on line 66 2. Clicking "New Articles" I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clean_html_comments() in C:\xampp\htdocs\catalog\includes\article_header_tags.php on line 134 3. Clicking "All Articles" I get the same as number 1 above but with this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clean_html_comments() in C:\xampp\htdocs\catalog\articles.php on line 350 4. Clicking my 1 topics "Practice Tips" I get the same type of page as problem 1 and 3 above but with this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clean_html_comments() in C:\xampp\htdocs\catalog\includes\modules\article_listing.php on line 66 I remember a clean_html_comments() error when I had STS and header tags both trying to clean_html_comments. Does that ring a bell? I've uploaded my site to: http://sirius.mgs.vic.edu.au/~rag/catalog It's a slow upload to my test server so it may take some time until it can be seen Maybe someone could try it out to see in a few hours? Thanks, Rob Hi everyone. I have just installed version 1.2B and everything works fine in admin. But when i tries to read the article i get the same errors as rag here. But i haven't Header Tags and STS installed. Does anyone now what is wrong here? The contribution looks great :D Thanks Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
