Article Manager v1.0

georgec · November 25, 2007

Hi Sherry,

Take a look at my earlier post:

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?s=&...t&p=1145757

Hope that fixes your alignment issues

Rgrds,

G

I guess this is where I'm supposed to ask this question...

My articles are appearing with the text centered and I want them to appear left aligned.

How can I fix that?

Does this work with HTC?

Thanks,

Sherry

I've noticed one or two people having the same problem as me but no fixes.

When I do the installation I can create articles in admin but when I go to my site every page is completely blank...no header no footer, no nothing.

Any solution to this? Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Rob,

I have uploaded the 2 php 5 files, and it all works great except for getting the following error when viewing all articles:

All Articles
Current Articles
1054 - Unknown column 'overallb_pos1.au.articles_id' in 'on clause'

select count(*) as total from ((articles a) left join authors au using(authors_id)) left join articles_description ad using(articles_id), articles_to_topics a2t left join topics_description td using(topics_id) where (a.articles_date_available IS NULL or to_days(a.articles_date_available) <= to_days(now())) and a.articles_id = a2t.articles_id and a.articles_status = '1' and ad.language_id = '1' and td.language_id = '1'

[TEP STOP]

Anything I can do to get rid of this?

Thanks,

Griz

Looks like you are not using MySQL 5.

Use the article.php file from Article Manager v 1.4

Worked for me!

I have the same problem, I got no error after I uploaded all the files and followed the read me file. I can create articles in the admin section but it wont show up in the site page. I tried to install other complete packages of article manager but I'm having the same result.

I'm encountering an error on my site:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_has_topic_subtopics() in C:\Domains\domain.com\wwwroot\includes\boxes\articles.php on line 41

Any idea what's causing the problem?

Thanks,

I am having some issues trying to get the Header tag controller to work correctly with Article Manager 1.5.1.

Everything is working fine with the articles, but I cannot get the header tags to for the individual articles to work at all.

I have HTC 2.6.3 installed with STS v4.5.8 and everything functions correctly.

When I edit includes/languages/english/article_header_tags.php only the

  define('HEAD_TITLE_TAG_ALL','Articles');
  define('HEAD_DESC_TAG_ALL','These articles provide information to complement the products and services provided by eproductshop.com');
  define('HEAD_KEY_TAG_ALL','software, websites, ebooks, information, oscommerce,');

will change the Header tags for the article pages. The code for the individual pages do nothing to the tags. Here is my code.

<?php

/*

// articles_new.php - new articles

define('HEAD_TITLE_TAG_ARTICLE_REVIEWS_INFO','');
define('HEAD_DESC_TAG_ARTICLE_REVIEWS_INFO','');
define('HEAD_KEY_TAG_ARTICLE_REVIEWS_INFO','');

?>

no matter what I enter into any of the individual pages tags it does not display in the source code.

The main problem is that when I create an article, the keywords for that article are not being displayed in the <head> section or anywhere.

I can get the header tags for the individual pages to display if I change the <head> code in the include/article_xxx.php files.

From

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>">
<?php
// Mofification of Header Tags Contribution
// BOF: WebMakers.com Changed: Header Tag Controller v1.0
// Replaced by header_tags.php
if ( file_exists(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'article_header_tags.php') ) {
 require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'article_header_tags.php');
} else {
?>
 <title><?php echo TITLE ?></title>
<?php
}
// EOF: WebMakers.com Changed: Header Tag Controller v1.0
?>

to 

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>">
<title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>
<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>

Because STS will automatically pickup the HTC tags a display them correctly, but the keywords and descriptions for the individual articles entered on the admin side still are not displayed in the source code.

I checked the database and the entries for the tags are there but not being displayed.

www.eproductshop.com is the site if you want to take a look.

I am sorry for the long post, but I wanted to make sure you had plenty of information so you can help. I am new to OSC and PHP, MySQL. I have been able to figure out most issues myself except this one.

Please help. Thanks

bigd357 · January 2, 2008

Well my wife and I figured out a way to get it to work correctly. I will post the fix we came up with to help anyone with the same problem soon.

:thumbsup: Looking forward to see how individual article title tags came through source code. We are seeing similar problem albeit older versions of HTC, Article Manager, & STS.

I have the same problem, I got no error after I uploaded all the files and followed the read me file. I can create articles in the admin section but it wont show up in the site page. I tried to install other complete packages of article manager but I'm having the same result.

hi, I have the same issue after installing the Article Manager 1.5. but when read the readme file again, I found out I haven't done this bit.

*****************

ALSO, if you DO NOT have Header Tags Installed, add the following (else don't!)

// add only if Header Tags not already installed

require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'clean_html_comments.php');

*****************

we have to add that line to the includes/application_top.php

check out my site and you will see it is working now. http://irisgift.com/catalog/articles.php

I have "Warning: main(includes/modules/article_listing.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/amsz/public_html/main/articles_new.php on line 73" errors everywhere. I can add, edit and play with articles, I can see them in the menu's, I can even see the articles text if I go to the articles. I checked ALL the files twice now. They are obviously there. I can even see the text I put in the article. Any ideas?

mylane, check if text entry in articles actually shows up in mysql table articles_description as your install may not be writing to database.

joma · January 19, 2008

Just wondering if it is possible, the idea that you can cross sell products based on an article is cool, however i have set up my articles in a different way, i am using this system for brochures on products i sell. Is it possible to cross sell products based on the article category rather then an article it's self.

http://www.caravanmart.com.au/ <-- web page, Articles on the mid left column under Brochures/Specs.

I only use the category description box to display the info required as i wanted the article headers visible on the menu at all times. So can i have at the bottom the caravans i sell that relate to the model of the brochure ?

Thanks

runningnaturals · January 24, 2008

Has anyone complied an updated version of this script that includes all the fixes? It would be really awesome if there was. I installed this awhile and it messed up my SQL database. I'd love to use it, but just scared.

diyAUDIOsupply · January 27, 2008

Has anyone else had this error message on a fresh install of this contrib when you click on the "All Articles" in the Articles infobox on the main page:

All Articles

Current Articles

1054 - Unknown column 'mydatabase.au.articles_id' in 'on clause'

select count(*) as total from ((articles a) left join authors au using(authors_id)) left join articles_description ad using(articles_id), articles_to_topics a2t left join topics_description td using(topics_id) where (a.articles_date_available IS NULL or to_days(a.articles_date_available) <= to_days(now())) and a.articles_id = a2t.articles_id and a.articles_status = '1' and ad.language_id = '1' and td.language_id = '1'

[TEP STOP]

Everything else with this install seems to work well so far.

But I do need some help on this one.

Is anyone else having issues with "the For those using dynamic_sitemap" add on (12 Sep 2007). It seams to be generating the wrong URL for article topics in my sitemap. For example the correct URL for topic 5 should be:

/articles.php?tPath=5

But this is the link thats being generated in the sitemap:

articles.php?topics_id=5

i.e "topics_id" instead of "tPath". Below is the code I added to the sitemap.php to included links to my articles topics, can you see the issue?:

<?php
//ARTICLE MANAGER START
echo '<ul class="sitemap">';
echo '<li><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ARTICLES, '', 

'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_ALL_ARTICLES . '</a></li>' . ""; 
$topics_query = tep_db_query("select t.topics_id, td.topics_name, t.parent_id from " . 

TABLE_TOPICS . " t, " . TABLE_TOPICS_DESCRIPTION . " td where t.parent_id = '" . (int)

$topic_links[$i] . "' and t.topics_id = td.topics_id and td.language_id = '" . (int)

$languages_id . "' order by sort_order, td.topics_name");
if (tep_db_num_rows($topics_query) > 0) {
$row = 0;
while ($topics = tep_db_fetch_array($topics_query)) {
$row++;

AndreD · February 13, 2008

I like what I see.

Does somebody plan to make collect all the useful updates and release it as a complete ZIP ?

it's looking a bit scary and confusing right now, no instructions and a lot of code suggestions.

..if somebody would be so nice and post a working, complete compilation - it would be sweet.

Maybe it's time to collect it all and call it 1.6 ?
