Hi =
I am using News 1.2 RC2 and it seems to work fine other than when I click on News in the main menu. None of the test articles seem to show up there. However, when I click on archives, the items show up........
Any ideas???????

Re: news module home page blank

This is usually caused by an old template being used.

Did you have a previous News installation?
Do you have a non-standard template set?

Try this:
1. Delete compiled News templates from templates_c module
2. Make sure you use the default template set
3. Update the module (again)
4. Access the module and see if it has updated

I turned on PhPDebug and here is the error that appeared...

Notice [PHP]: Use of undefined constant _NW_MORERELEASES - assumed '_NW_MORERELEASES' in file modules/news/index.php line 171

Does that shed any light on the issue?
Thanks for your quick responses by the way......

Re: news module home page blank

could you paste a view source of the page without news stories?

I'm rather certain that missing constant had been fixed. Perhaps try to download News again, upload and update the module in modules admin. Then give the "view source" content.

OK - I uploaded the new file and did all that you recommended, still no go.......
here's the URL - be kind, this is still in development and has no real content, but you should be able to see the news stuff without logging in (just test articles)
http://www.coa.gatech.edu/xoops/

Right now, I have the News Display Layout set to "By Topic" - as you will see when you click on News in the main menu. If I change this setting to Classic, nothing appears but the Notification Options.

Thanks for your help on this .....

The problem is that it is still using the template from the old version. Are you sure you are not having a different template set than default?

I have the templates on the site as a whole set to the XOOPS default. Was I supposed to write over some templates somewhere with the install of the news? Is there somewhere else to change the template settings?

Well, I just FTP'd just the templates folder over and now it works. I don't understand why it didn't do that when I copied everything.........
Anyway -- thanks for your patience with me on this.......
And, love the LotR reference......
I think I am a closet Rosie myself.

Re: news module home page blank

It's still a bit of a mystery to me as well, but at least I now know where to look for resolving it.

Happy it is working for you now.
