PopUpNewsModule

[TAV1702]

I agree with Simpilot. I have had that error on phpVMS and phpBB forums numerous times and that is what it always was. A white space before or after a php tag.

[TAV1702]

ok got that...so "body" is a good variable? And this line is placed directly beneath the orginal call?

Thanks

I have been trying to figure this one out on how to get the first so many characters of the body to appear with a read more link. I did get the read more link to appear and work, I just can not get the body to show. I know how to limit the characters too.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Did you add the "body" field to the call within the module? I think that you are probably not getting the data to the template.

I attempted to. I am more than sure that is where my problem is. I tried to follow what you instructed me to do a few posts up with another little thing I was working on. I think I just simply jacked up the needed code for the module.

Hi Dave. I just recently upgraded to the latest beta and I get this once clicking a link with the news module.

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'PopUpNews::popupnewsitem' was given in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxx/core/classes/MainController.class.php on line 218

I have tinkered with it some but no luck with it. I hate to mess with it to much for fear of really messing something up. Prior to the upgrade to beta, I replaced all the popup news files with the standard files from the download from this thread. So they are bone stock files. No Ray interference involved.

Any ideas you could throw at a guy?

[TAV1702]

Sorry Dave. I uploaded the files from the original post in this thread. I forgot about the updated version on page two of this thread.

All is well and working fine. Yet another proud, ever so popular blonde moment from Ray.

Awaiting you.......

[Jeff]

It looks to me that you are missing these (just before </tbody>)

</tr>
</td>

to close the tables.

[FiveStar]

jeff tried that also same result?

[simpilot]

The popupnews_list template is called through a foreach loop in the module so you need to do one of two things,

1- open and close the table in the module and just have row commands in the template

or

2 - create a table for each line in the template

example template

<table> 
   <tr> 
     <td> 
         <a href="<?php echo SITE_URL ?>/index.php/PopUpNews/popupnewsitem/?itemid=<?php echo $id;?>"><b><u><?php echo $subject;?></b></u></a><br /> 
         <?php echo $postdate;?>
     </td>
   </tr> 
</table>

Simpilot i used your given code also but the main problem is this

it was showing A title on every Row i only wanted to show Title on TOP of the Table and the content in the table BOX

[simpilot]

The popupnews_list.tpl file repeats however many times you have it set to, so anything you have in it is going to show that many times. Move the title into the main page you are using prior to calling the popupnews function.

Error for me,

some thing comes like this -

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'PopUpNews::popupnewsitem' was given in /home1/akariyou/public_html/aivirtual/core/classes/MainController.class.php on line 218

PLEASE HELP ME, I DONT HAVE ANY IDEA!

G'day Simpilot,

I recieve the message below on my site,

Latest News

Notice: The template file "/home/qantasvi/public_html//core/templates/popupnews_list.tpl" doesn't exist in /home/qantasvi/public_html/core/classes/TemplateSet.class.php on line 248

PopUpNews © simpilotgroup.com

this can be viewed on my site: http://qantasvirtual.com/

[simpilot]

Looks like you did not put the popupnews_list.tpl file in your core/templates or skin folder.

G'day simpilot,

Thanks for this addon, quick question how do I get it to pop up when you click on the news. Right now it does that but it also shows it in the main area of the web page all the time. Here is a link so you can see what I mean............................

[vader21]

How about this?

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
   <td>Title</td>
 </tr>
<?php 
foreach($res as $row)
{ ?>
 <tr>
   <td><?php echo $row->subject;?></td>
 </tr>
 <?php 
 }
 ?>
</table>

How would i make that work, without having an invalid foreach?

Thank you.

[simpilot]

@vader21

Where are you placing this? Are you loading the $res variable prior to this code?

[vader21]

Oh never mind i got things working fine with this

<?php
$res = SiteData::GetAllNews($row->id);
?>

[Ahmad]

vader21 Can you please post your amended code please..... i will really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Ahmad

[vader21]

<?php
$res = SiteData::GetAllNews($row->id);
?>

 <?php 
$i = ( int )1; 
foreach($res as $row){ 
?>

  <?php
 if ( $i == ( int )5 ) 
   { 
       break; 
   } 
   else 
   { 
       $i++; 
   } 
}  
 ?>

Now remember when you call the class on your front page leave it as (1) not 5.

Good Luck

[Ahmad]

i am sorry but i am noob in all this putting together can you be more specific please where all that code goes exactly with table........ Thanks

Ahamd

[vader21]

This is the entire code for that tpl just copy and paste! This is only to show the news on a table!

<?php
$res = SiteData::GetAllNews($row->id);
?>
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
 <tr align="center" class="row1">
   <td><strong>News Title</strong></td>
   <td><strong>Date Submitted</strong></td>
   <td><strong>Written by</strong></td>
   <td><strong>News ID</strong></td>
 </tr>
<?php 
$i = ( int )1; 
foreach($res as $row){ 
?>
 <tr  align="center">
   <td><a href="<?php echo SITE_URL ?>/index.php/PopUpNews/popupnewsitem/?itemid=<?php echo $row->id;?>"><?php echo $row->subject;?></a>
</td>
   <td><?php echo date("D, d M Y ", $row->postdate);?></td>
   <td><?php echo $row->postedby;?></td>
   <td><?php echo $row->id;?></td>
 </tr>
 <?php 
 if ( $i == ( int )5 ) 
   { 
       break; 
   } 
   else 
   { 
       $i++; 
   } 
}  
 ?>
</table>

Hi all,

getting this error since I moved my website to fivedev any help would be great.

I should say that I have uploaded the 1.1 version and I am still getting the same error.

here is the error...

Fatal error: Class 'PopUpNews' not found in /home/********/public_html/lib/skins/detachable/layout.tpl on line 237

or you can see it on my website just click my signature.

Thanks

Scott

[simpilot]

I just went to your site and used the url;

http://angelairva.co.uk/index.php/popupnews

and get the error that the module doesn't exist. Check and make sure both the module folder and the data class are in the file tree.

[Angel Air]

I am not sure if anyone else has had this problem but this is the reason why mine did not work.

After looking at what simpilot suggested I noticed that the folder was incorrectly named it should be PopUpNews instead mine was popupnews so it could not find the file but all fixed now. thanks simpilot.

[Tylor Eddy]

G'day Simpilot,

I have an idea for this module.

I wanted to know if it was possible to add a flashing gif image to display on all the unread news items in my list, this will make pilots more aware of the new posts as the news list is rather discrete on my website.

is it possible to be able to determine if a newsitem is read by a pilot ?

Regards

Tylor
