Modules: News 1.4, updated version

Posted by: hervetOn 2005/8/17 18:33:35 11699 reads

Changelog
> I have added the code recommanded in Xoops 2.0.13.1 for security reasons
> Some templates were corrected to be a little more (but not completly) w3c compliants
> It was possible to download files joined to an article for wich you did not have the necessary permissions
> It was possible to edit articles from other authors
> The news counter is not updated anymore when its author is reading the article or when you are in the Admin's group or a module's admin
> You could have a broken image when the "recent news block" was used (thanks to jegelstaff)
> A typo was corrected in the block used to moderate news ("letf" instead of "left")
> News that was not approved were not deleted when you was deleting its topic
> I have added rel="nofollow" to the link to email the article to a friend
> There was a bug in the "prune manager" when you was selecting to use only expired articles (thanks to alain01)
> The number of meta keywords automatically created by the News module is now limited to 20 keywords (thanks to tl for the remark)
If you want to change this limit, edit the file /xoops/modules/news/include/functions.php and find this line :
$tmp=array_slice($tmp,0,20); // If you want to change the limit of keywords, change this number from 20 to what you want
> You can import your articles from AMS 2.41.
To do it, launchhttp://www.example.com/modules/news/admin/amsimport.php
You must be a module's administrator to launch this script.
The script imports topics, articles, files, links, ratings, comments and notifications from Ams WITHOUT removing *anything* from it.
The only thing you have to do is to recreate the permissions.
WARNING, Once you have imported your articles from Ams, if you delete a news in the News module and if this article have some attached
files, they will be also deleted in Ams !
You can launch this script as many times as you want but this will create as many news and topics as you launch the script
The imported article is always the last version in Ams

Bye,
Hervé

Thanks for your hard work to make this beautifull module even better!
I regarde of the problems with authorname:

I noticed that when submitting a new article, the Authors' name can't be changed when using MS Explorer. Nothing happens. But when using Firefox there's no problem at all! Maybe this is usefull info to make this module even better?

Keep up the good work!

Problems
When in preferences "News Display Layout" sets to
1) Classic -- I see no news, just Notifications opitions.
2) By Topic -- Everything works fine.

I being the Webmaster is not allowed to Edit the post ( of my own or the other users) when "Enable authors to edit their post?" is set to No.
( Permission access error)
Is this Normal ?

Unless hervet finds the properway,
Present solution could be change "Enable authors to edit their post?" to "YES" from your module prefrences.

Can't edit news articles I have written, either...This is true on both 2.0.13 and 2.2

Also, I can't see the rel="nofollow" in the email link. I deleted my template_c files to make sure that whatever was there would be gotten rid of. Still, the email link does not have that nofollow insertion that I can see.

Thanks, though for your constant efforts to improve an already excellent module. Thanks as well for increasing the w3c compliance.

Please refer to the file named UPGRADE.txt in the module's archive.

Once you have uploaded all the files to your website, launch the following script to upgrade
http://www.example.com/module/news/admin/upgrade.php.
Users of 1.3.1 just have to overwright file's module and make a refresh in module's admin on News Module.

Thanks for your reply. I was using 1.3 before. If I update the module the 'recent news' block reappears, but if I change the title length it vanishes again.

I'll try a fresh install of the module and see what happens!

that's exactly what I did (I was using 1.3 too), but don't have this one.
Please clear your browser cache and template_c cache, refresh module and see what appens. Please activate php debug mode and look if any message is displayed.

We communicate here on a daily basis and have for the past 1½ years. It's natural to snap a bit at each others.

In this particular case, I just feel that I cannot fix the 2.2 core so Hervé's module will work, if he can't tell me what is wrong.

Those problems are related to XOOPS 2.2.x.
For example when you edit an article you did not wrote, the author's name will not be visible in the list of authors.

I have tested the News 1.4 on XOOPS 2.0.13 and 2.2.

1. They all can't edit news articles, unless change "Enable authors to edit their post?" to "YES" from the module prefrences.

2. The author's name can't be visible in the list of authors on XOOPS 2.0.13, but show normally in the list on XOOPS 2.2.

Mith, Hervé, here's what I see from a user point-of-view:

I Create a new, and change the auther to another user. Save.
Go back and Edit the new, and for some reason the user that created it does not show in the 'Auther User' Select Menu.

Now, why this has something to do with 2.2.x - I don't know. From a developer point of view, here's what must be happening:

1: Get artichle
2: Get Guest User UID -> put in Select object
3: Get Author UID -> put in Select object
4: Get Current User UID -> put in Select object

Now, step 3 must fail for some reason, and I guess Mith. want's to know how/where it fails regarding 2.2.x

Right?

I'm puzzled why you can get the Name/ID of the current user, when you can't get the ID of the creator.. ain't it a simple DB lookup????????

Yes, that is correct.

I guess I'll have to get this version and investigate how the selection of author goes.

Ahhh - the signature of XoopsFormSelectUser has changed in 2.2.x and I missed that due to the rather extensive changes in that class.

I'll get that fixed.

For those that want News 1.4 to work with XOOPS 2.2 NOW (when it comes to the author selection, that is), you can switch the 3rd and 4th parameter in modules/news/include/storyform.inc.php:


//line 82:

$sform->addElement(new XoopsFormSelectUser(_NW_AUTHOR,'author',false, $newsauthor),false);

But we'll fix it in the core in next version.

Hi everybody, since about 15 months I use XOOPS as CMS and till now no problems at all.

This morning I updated News version 1.311 to 1.4 by FTP, updated the module in the system area and from that moment I can't start the homepage of my website at all. This page is completely blank and that's it...

When I type the URL of one of the modulepages, f.i. www.mywebsite.com/modules/news this page shows up, but the standard template is ruined.

Only when I'm logged in as administrator Everything lookes fine, except the startpage again (completely blank).

In the meantime I contacted my hosting provider. They only can put back an backup (only from the data, not the sql database) from a week ago...

I'm not sure about the consequences of an action like that. Hope there's somebody to help me with this problem, thanx for the thinking aanyway!

Erik

Please, show changes in context, because (guessed)


if ( $usercount < 300) {

        [d]$sform->addElement(new XoopsFormSelectUser(_NW_AUTHOR,'author',true, $newsauthor),false);[/d]

        [color=CC0000]$sform->addElement(new XoopsFormSelectUser(_NW_AUTHOR,'author',false, $newsauthor),false);[/color]

    } else {

yes, sorry.


if ( $usercount < 300) {

        [d]$sform->addElement(new XoopsFormSelectUser(_NW_AUTHOR,'author',true, $newsauthor),false);[/d]

        $sform->addElement(new XoopsFormSelectUser(_NW_AUTHOR,'author', $newsauthor, true),false);

    } else {

        $sform->addElement(new XoopsFormText(_NW_AUTHOR_ID, 'author', 10, 10, $newsauthor), false);

    }

is the short-term fix (I put in "false" (and in the wrong order, sorry) because I didn't think it would make sense to set the author to be "anonymous"... but after rethinking, perhaps it is. So back it goes)

Thanks, LB

Marco,

I'm using XOOPS 2.2.2 ...
Problem occurs in MS Explorer when you look for a user (using list or search) and hit the submit button. In Firefox there is no problem ...

Re: News 1.4, updated version

Mithrandir Published 08/18/2005 19:58 XOOPS is my life! Joined 06/21/2003 Comments 6320

That would be a problem in the core's XoopsFormSelectUser and not in News.

Can you give more details about this? Any javascript errors, you can get your hands on?
I did test this with IE and didn't spot any errors - but I must admit that I mainly use Mozilla and Firefox.

Glad to see that some smart people find errors and know how to correct them!
But can somebody explain to me why editing the Authorsname (with list|search) does NOT work in MS Internet Explorer (error on submit), but when using the Firefox browser there's no problem?

The error occurs when hitting the submit button while changing the Authors' name in Explorer. Is there someone smart who can look into this?

so you'll find the fragment easy - somewhere around line 77.


if( $_GET['op'] == 'edit' || $_GET['op'] == 'delete' ) {

mucuracat,

I'm pretty sure there will be an update very soon. The XOOPS CMS has a lot of dedicated devellopers, who spend a lot of their time to make this CMS even better.

Just keep tracking the news here on xoops.org

I have a file named "core" (no extension) in the module's folder with 16 mb, when I delete it, it is recreated, what is it for? Was it supposed to be there?

Also, I use xlanguage from phppp and if i set the language to portuguese (only for the news module) it does not work. The problem seems not to be the files inside the language folder because i have cloned the english one and it works fine if setted to english. Anyone has an idea?

The error produced can be seen in here(in portugese only, in english it works fine):
www.simcitybrasil.com.br/modules/news/

If i set the php debug or not the error is the same.

I am using XOOPS 1.0.13

What about {pagebreak] feature? It's nice for long articles, but I can't see it in these new versions.

Hello,

wildo,
For your problem of author, you have to wait for a new version of Xoops.

Fastian,
Can you read the FAQ and especially the point #8 ?

guardian2k1,
Verify that you have set the right permissions in the page used to manage permissions and verify that you have chked to module's option "enable authors to edit thei posts".

WarDick,
What's you XOOPS version ?

vagelis,
Yes, you must launch the upgrade script and update the module.
Hum, I saw your lasts post, the problem about the templates in XOOPS 2.2 ... hum ... I don't have any answer, is this corrected ???

MadFish,
This problem is coming from XOOPS itself and should have been corrected in XOOPS 2.2 ???

Chappy,
Please read my answer to guardian2k1
For your other problem, verify that the templates are up to date.

chnwalkman,
1) This is normal, this option is here for this.
I will just have to verify that module's admin and the website admin can edit everything.
2) refer to this post

marook,
Yeah ! You found the treasure

msnekkie,
Have you try to activate the php debug's mode ?

LazyBadger,
Thank you for the tip

Mamba,
See my answer to MadFish

indream,
See my answer to guardian2k1

zooro,
Please read the comments !

mucuracat,
soon

suico,
I don't have any idea of what this file is.
It looks like a dump from linux after a crash...

SuperVoley,
hum ... !! ... ?????

blindman,
I did not changed anything concerning this part.
As you can see the news you are reading si spaming on 2 pages, so I assume that this tag still runs.

Bye,
Hervé

Not really. In the previous version it worked OK, i.e. I could change the lenght of the title, and the "Recent News" didn't disappear is it does now.

Using version: 2.0.13.1

Anyone using multilanguage hacks/modules with 1.4 on a 2.2 xoops? I tried easiestml and xlanguage and they both have trouble with news. They use tags like "[ en] [fr]" etc to provide alternate language content. This works fine on everything except news 1.4. The HTML seems to get corrupted when tags are present in articles or titles. Tried different (stock) themes with the same results.

The languages seem to work when in a single article but not good when viewing the main index pages or any blocks.

Using htmlentities() in News 1.4, updated version

LazyBadger Published 08/21/2005 13:01 Home away from home Joined 06/07/2004 Comments 1187

Can't say, how it was done (didn't use spotlight and other blocks), but now using htmlentities() detected in 3 places.
Please, remove it - it's bad for all 8bit languages, because produce garbage. You can see it at Spotlight Block on XOOPS Frontier - hints for artlicles on tabs are unreadable: compare any article's title and hint

It's actual even for 1.3 and XOOPS 2.0. Tags (any tags) must be removed from hits-text.
BTW - NewBB2 have the same problem due the same reason

LazyBadger,

Can you explain me why it's bad to use htmlentities ?
I will say that it's good to use is when you validate your pages.

suico,
Can you repuload the file index.php ?

Easy... text processed by htmlentities() encoded into iso-8859-1 charset (always), and if another charset was used in original text, it became unreadable... I can show entities in "code" block - they will be decoded to the russian letters, but entity will not became russian letters - it will be chars from high-half of US-ASCII.

Addon - hints shown correctly on all artlicles lists inside blocks (AFAIS), except Spotlight

Compare hints from different blocks for the same news

Ok, I understand, thank you for the explanation.
I find this "boring" because without htmlentities, tooltips with a single quote like :

that's me

will cause problems...

LazyBadger Published 08/21/2005 18:34 Home away from home Joined 06/07/2004 Comments 1187

Just idea - move it into preferences. We don't use (mostly) ", ' in russian texts (or at least can eliminate it), but it impossible in proper English

yes,
- rss per topics : just activate in module's preferences settings this option. you will see nices icons when you navigate through topics
- generale rss : backend.php XOOPS file (see dev.xoops.org, hervet gives a new file that suits tl from xoops-tips recommendation)

Hervet,
You were right. Working fine now. I had not set authors enabled to edit their articles.

As far as the nofollow link attribute, I don't understand why it didn't show up after I deleted templates_c, but its there now and that's all that matters. Perhaps someone called the page before I reloaded the page. Anyway, thanks for your response.

i do use news 1.4 and XOOPS 2.0.13.1 : i can't reproduce this on my online config.
1/ Refresh News module from Admin side /Modules
2/ If you've update from previous version, be sure to read Readme file/install file, and run upgrade script
3/ If not Why not reuploading your entire module
hope this help

Thanks for your reply. I was using 1.3 before. If I update the module the 'recent news' block reappears, but if I change the title length it vanishes again

that's exactly what I did (I was using 1.3 too), but don't have this one.
Please clear your browser cache and template_c cache, refresh module and see what appens. Please activate php debug mode and look if any message is displayed.
thanks
marco

Hi, is there a fix for this? I had news 1.3 and I updated to 1.4, changed a setting in the recent news block configuration (title length), and the block disappear and is not showing anymore although the smarty debug shows it there.
running XOOPS 2.0.13.1
thanks!

I think I saw once a hack for a custum block, to show all (or latest X articles) in a chosen category

Is there a simple solution for that ?
I want to be able to put 4 blocks in my first page, with chosen articles from 4 different categories, can it be done (not staticly) ?

Re: News 1.4, updated version

LazyBadger Published 08/24/2005 19:59 Home away from home Joined 06/07/2004 Comments 1187

It's not a hack, but module from Solo, xf_newsmod_blocks 1.5, which I use here - 4 top center-center blocks.
Any block can be widely configured and used for your needs

Here is my experience with the News 1.4 upgrade. I have tested it out on my non production developing site which I upgrade to XOOPS 2.0.13.1 before uploading the News 1.4.

www.poetryzine.net

I was running the News 1.3.11 version before the upgrade with no problems really. My version of XOOPS was 2.0.13.

Both upgrades went off without a hitch. I went into the site to post a sample article under my administrator username. The post went fine and the article appeared ok, I checked the edit and delete functions and they worked also. When I went to make a comment the screen went white. I login in a s a basic user and was able to comment. But if I click comment again to view it "white screen"
I went back in as admin and was able to click on comments of articles that had already been on the site but anything I post new I am unable to click the comment without the "white screen"

Please someone go to the site register and see if you can duplicate what I am seeing.

Thanks
James

I have figured out the problem I have with the "white screen" when trying to access comments. After I cleared the cache file of my Firefox browser the problem seemed to correct itself.

My only question now with regards to News 1.4 is it possible to have a regular user be able to both edit and delete his own work?

Strange things happen after upgrading....

hloomans Published 09/17/2005 15:11 Just popping in Joined 09/17/2005 Comments 1

Salut Hervé (and others)!

I've recently upgraded my News1.1 module to News1.4 on XOOPS 2.0.13 by following the steps as described above, that is;

* download and unzip
* copy/overwrite files to /modules/news
* update module as admin
* launch the script ../modules/news/admin/upgrade.php

Hopefully I opened my website, however it showed a blank screen only. Next, I double checked and corrected the rights by chown. Now, the site showed but not the News module... :(

When I move into the admin section, some strange things are happening.... The News popup menu shows codes instead of text, e.g.:
> _MI_NEWS_GROUPPERMS
> _MI_NEWS_PRUNENEWS
> _MI_NEWS_EXPORT
> _MI_NEWS_STATS
> _MI_NEWS_NEWSLETTER

After selecting one of these options, the submenus also show these codes instead of regular text. The Settings part shows blank table rows/lines as well, so no text is shown at all.

Does anyone got any tips??? Many thnx!

After user submits news I have to approve them. Most of the time I have to go through the news and read them. In the main page news correctly are identified as from that user, but when I click on EditandApprove button authors name is shown as me, most of the time I have to go back, to remember the submitter name and then go back to edit news and manually change the author back to the user it was originally submitted as.
