Hey all:

I'm looking for something that will display multiple news stories in small blocks - possibly with a very tight format so everything could be easily typed in by non-technical people.

An example of what I mean:

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You're right; missing templates would cause such a problem. Since the modules are written in PHP, I assume you are asking whether uploading the modules to the website again would help. I think it would: I would re-load the newbb module up to the website, then update it.

I can't guarantee that it will help, but it would be my next step in diagnosing the problem.

I think you're fighting permissions. You might check permissions to the news page. I think you have your module permissions correct, but the page permissions need work.

Yep, that was it!

I saw that option, but didn't even think about it applying to my issue.

Thanks so much for your help!

Can't display all my articles

Hey, Y'all.

I have an unusual problem. I have a site (www.opendoorways.org) for our church. I'm using XOOPS 2.0.7.3 and News 1.2.1.

I'm using Koivi class editor to create my news.

OK, here's the problem. I just added an article for a movie showing. However, it's pushed the second article I had down to a link only. In other words, the second article is NOT showing with the first. I have the preferences set to display 5 articles (in fact, I just upped it to 10 as part of testing), and I'd like both to show simultaneously.

If you see the link "The Passion," you'll see the other article I want to display.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

-Richard

Testing...

Hate to disappoint, but the premise isn't true on my system. I gave them an "Edit User" option before (just as a test) - still no response. I then moved it to "User Rank" just to see what happens: nothing.

I think the tick mark is probably the best way to go about it in the short term. Quick, dirty, and effective...

Obviously the isAdmin function just isn't getting it; I know there were some problems earlier, and it looks like they haven't resolved them yet.

Thanks, M0nty. That's an OK work-around for the moment. Still frustrating, though. Hopefully someone more familiar with the code than I can fix it.

Whoops, I was one post off. Thanks for setting me straight.

However, my user_blocks doesn't have that construct. Here's what I have:

Quote:


global $xoopsUser;
if (is_object($xoopsUser)) {
$pm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('privmessage');
$block = array();
$block['lang_youraccount'] = _MB_SYSTEM_VACNT;
$block['lang_editaccount'] = _MB_SYSTEM_EACNT;
$block['lang_notifications'] = _MB_SYSTEM_NOTIF;
$block['uid'] = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid');
$block['lang_logout'] = _MB_SYSTEM_LOUT;
$criteria = new CriteriaCompo(new Criteria('read_msg', 0));
$criteria->add(new Criteria('to_userid', $xoopsUser->getVar('uid')));
$block['new_messages'] = $pm_handler->getCount($criteria);
$block['lang_inbox'] = _MB_SYSTEM_INBOX;
$block['lang_adminmenu'] = _MB_SYSTEM_ADMENU;
return $block;
}
return false;
}



Am I missing something?

m0nty:

Thanks for the idea; I saw it, and that's where my idea for getting the menu fixed came from. Eliminating the "if" forces the menu display for all users.

However, while it does force it to display for all users, it still doesn't allow that user into the admin area (no permission).

It appears that $xoops_isadmin is broken, to me.

I've never delved into the XOOPS code before; it looks like the IsAdmin function in users.php may be broken...

(But what do I know?)

Still open to more ideas!
