I know a lot of people have this same problem but I couldn't find a definitive answer to it.
So the question is, what is going on with News1.44 and the reecent news blocks acting up weird and dissapearing???
As with many other users I have a problem with the "Recent news block" and "Top news blocks" dissapearing. This happens when I mess around with the settings( inserting numbers other than the default 0 in the box for shotening news texts)(Im sorry I am using the japanese version so i dont know exactle what this option is named).
my set ups are
XOOPS 2.0.14 JP
Apache/1.3.37 (Unix)
PHP 4.4.4
...
I also found out that when I update news1.44, the Template news_block_new.html does not get updated. The template for the top news gets updated twice instead.
see below...
it goes like this...
Block (top news block in japanese) updated. Block ID: 184
Template news_block_top.html updated.
Template news_block_top.html recompiled.
Block (recent news block in japanese) updated. Block ID: 185
Template news_block_top.html updated.
Template news_block_top.html recompiled.
see the problem?? Template news_block_top.html is updated and compiled twice!
when I was using news1.15 file_up
https://xoops.org/modules/repository/singlefile.php?cid=48&lid=1435it would go like this...
Block (top news block in japanese) updated. Block ID: 23
Template news_block_top.html updated.
Template news_block_top.html recompiled.
Block (recent news block i japanese) updated. Block ID: 24
Template news_block_new.html updated.
Template news_block_new.html recompiled.
see how the Template news_block_new.html is updated?
Could this be the root of all the trouble???
I want to use the news 1.44 as it lets the user edit only their own posts, and the random content blocks and shortening the news texts... soo many good features!!
If the older versions of news modules are more stable, I would like to try them out, but all the links are updated to news 1.44.
please help!!
if you have the same problem, tell me what your situation is like.
