Guest Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Is it possible to have a landing page that lists all the categories (with maybe a few article titles from each category)? I have quite a few categories and I'd love to have one page that lists them all for viewers. So instead of the "all articles" page, there is a "all categories" page. (I'd also like to see the ability for customers to submit articles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 There is the articles.php page, which lists all of the articles.

Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 There is the articles.php page, which lists all of the articles. Jack Yeah, but I just want all of the categories and not the indiviidual articles :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Has anyone else noticed when you add a product to the cross-sell in the articles manager then try to add another product from a different catagory the products are duplicated in the articles cross-sell admin? I am having this same problem and I don't se ehow to remove items anywhere. I now have one product repated no less than 50 times in it. Would love to see the fix for this.

Jack_mcs Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yeah, but I just want all of the categories and not the indiviidual articles :( Are you saying you want a page to display just topics or are you wanting categories included somehow?

Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Are you saying you want a page to display just topics or are you wanting categories included somehow? Jack I'm sorry, I am using the wrong words: I'd like a landing page that can do either: Topic A Topic B Topic C Topic D OR Topic A Article 1 Article 2 Topic B Article 1 Article 2 Topic C Article 1 Article 2 Rather than the way articles.php is laid out now: Article 1 Topic A Article 1 Topic C Article 1 Topic B Hope that makes things clearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 OK, thanks for the clarification. I'll put that on the list of updates if no one else gets to it first.

Jack_mcs Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 A new version has been uploaded contining these changes: - Added an all topics page. - Added a submit articles page. - Added code to admin/articles_xsell.php to prevent having to login when updating. - Removed references to the HTMLArea. In future releases, the code for that will be removed altogether. I checked the add/remove functions in XSell and it is working correctly. However, the code uses some short-cuts that may cause problems with later versions of php. So if you are having a problem with that section, be sure to mention your php version. NOTE: This version requires Header Tags SEO to be installed.

leveera Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi Jack, Thanks for the contribution, I use AM1.5.7.1 with no problems except I cant solve a trick how to display Upcoming articles module. I placed a Date Expected for an article and played with Published/Draft switch with no result. In admin articles configuration I have Maximum number of Upcoming articles to display set to 10. My articles.php looks fine with <?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ARTICLES_UPCOMING); ?> on place. Have no errors and no shown upcoming articles. Please advice solution. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 This hasn't been tested but try this. In the includes/modules/articles_upcoming.php file, find this line $expected_query = tep_db_query("select a.articles_id, a.articles_date_added, a.articles_date_available as date_expected, ad.articles_name, ad.articles_head_desc_tag, au.authors_id, au.authors_name, td.topics_id, td.topics_name from " .

kbking Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi When trying to view article_rss.php IE 8 an error occurs saying: An invalid character was found in text content Line: 11 Character: 15 <Category> Allm The Category in question is: Allmänt. Seems like it can't handle the characters å,ä,ö. The same goes for <Descripton> In Firefox there are no errors and it displays fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tests for various option in the admin->Configuration->Articles settings, but only to show the parts of the upcoming articles. The names themselves are displayed before any such testing, other than the main setting for upcoming articles but you said you had that on.

Jack_mcs Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 You didn't upload the submit button, which may cause a little distortion. But it may be due to the width of the fields. In articles-submit.php, change the size in this line to something smaller <td><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('article_name', $article['name'], 'maxlength="60" size="100"', false); ?> </td> and both entries below that where it says 'hard', 40, change the 40 to something smaller (if the above doesn't help).

Jack Changing those dimensions did the trick. Great contribution! I went ahead and also added some text on most of the pages that let the viewer know they could "submit an article".

No, I hadn't thought of that. I'll put it on the list to do but that will probably be a ways off.
