RE: News Manager (updated) - .eXit. - 2013-09-05 Hey everyone, TeeJay tell me the beta Version (2.5) from the Plugin have an "Read More" Button.. How can i use it? i don't see it anywhere. Cheers, .eXit. RE: News Manager (updated) - TeeJay - 2013-09-05 (2013-09-05, 22:34:47).eXit. Wrote: Hey everyone,Look at my website - http://tomasjanecek.cz/clanky/ this is how it works. Carlos has all the settings for beta on his website, but I can't seem to find it in one piece now. Just look at here http://www.cyberiada.org/cnb/news-manager/blog/?post=news-manager-25-beta-5 and you can switch in the right sidebar menu to other betas where are some other information. Basically, you have to go into your gsconfig.php in the root and write some lines. This is all you need and it also includes settings for pictures. The read more is in the bottom - I tried to comment it to understand it better. Code: # Allowing images for News Manager articles RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-06 @.eXit. Note that $NMREADMORE = 'a'; doesn't add the "Read more" link to full posts, only to excerpts. By your post in the old NM thread I guess that what you need is a permalink/link to post at the bottom. @D.O., TeeJay, everyone... If I add an option to insert permalinks under posts, do you think the readmore 'a' (always) option would no longer be necessary? Or do I keep it? (I personally don't need it) RE: News Manager (updated) - .eXit. - 2013-09-06 (2013-09-05, 23:39:54)TeeJay Wrote:(2013-09-05, 22:34:47).eXit.

I have tried it already with padding, align, float and margin, but nothing will working for me. ------ Edit: i find a solution for my question. RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-06 Draft documentation for next 2.5 beta: http://www.cyberiada.org/cnb/nm-25-beta-draft/ (quickly written... sorry, I'm not good at documenting) I'll test it a bit more before posting. Your comments are very welcome. Changes since beta 10: - $NMIMAGES, $NMTITLENOLINK and $NMREADMORE no longer supported (see the doc.). Instead you use functions in component nm-init (and/or others) - new function to redefine language strings (in components instead of gsconfig) - new conditional functions (for use in templates) These gsconfig settings remain the same as before: $NMIMAGEINPUT, $NMIMAGEDIR and $NMARCHIVESBY If you need any example, just ask. RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-06 An example: TeeJay's setup could be defined like this with these new layout settings: component nm-init: Code: <?php component nm-top-single Code: <?php RE: News Manager (updated) - D.O. - 2013-09-06 Better to keep it.

RE: News Manager (updated) - TeeJay - 2013-09-06 (2013-09-06, 00:46:55)Carlos Wrote: @D.O., TeeJay, everyone...Sorry I overlooked this post. What do you mean by "permalinks under posts"? You mean a link to the full post page or permalink structure (URL)? No matter what you're asking about, the "Read More" button should definitely be under every post. If the button's there, I don't care if I can set to hide it or not. Display:none does its job well in such cases. RE: News Manager (updated) - D.O. - 2013-09-06 Yes, I agree with TeeJay: "Read More" has to be under every post. Frankly, according to me, a permalink is not so important, it's a blog thing. But hey go for it :-D (2013-09-06, 17:02:30)TeeJay Wrote: Sorry I overlooked this post. RE: News Manager (updated) - TeeJay - 2013-09-06 Carlos, D.O. has explained to me the permalink you were talking about so I hope I understand it correctly now. Here's my opinion: The Read More button is supposed to be a link leading to the URL (permalink) of the full post (like <a href="(permalink)">Anchor text</a>). Why would you put a hyperlink somewhere under a post? Keep it in the Read More button, that's only reasonable solution. Then there can be a settings to hide the Read More button which of course also hides the permalink inside. RE: News Manager (updated) - D.O. - 2013-09-06 Usually Blog systems show the permanent link of a post. It can be useful, tho it's irrelevant to me. Maybe it should be important to show by default the author of a post beside the date. RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-06 Sorry guys, I misunderstood .eXit.'s post. I won't add the "permanent link" option. (It was something quite easy to add, and I thought that some people would use it, but maybe it's a bit old-style.) So I'll keep the "forcereadmore" option, of course. RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-07 (2013-09-06, 18:43:59)D.O. Wrote: Maybe it should be important to show by default the author of a post beside the date. Yeah I remember you had requested this some months ago. I have not decided about this, but I have it in the to-do list (issue in repo). I think that the patch I posted (by NM 2.3.x) would still be valid for 2.4.x and 2.5 beta. One question: if I added optional support for authors, would it be fine to display it like this? Code: <p class="nm_post_date">Posted on Sep 6, 2013</p><p class="nm_post_author">Author: username</p> (The "Author: " string would be customizable, e.g. changed to " by: ") RE: News Manager (updated) - D.O. - 2013-09-07 Yes, Carlos and that patch works fine. But I think it could be very useful by default to show the author of a news or not. About the line I could suggest this way: <p class="nm_post_date">Posted on Sep 6, 2013 <span class="nm_post_author">by Username</span></p> And yes, of course, the string "Author" (or "by") should be customizable, and on th same line of the post date. RE: News Manager (updated) - .eXit. - 2013-09-08 Hello, I am still using version 2.5 beta 10 and I would like to have a link at the bottom that brings me back to the top of the page. But with the HTML anchor it will not work. Can anyone help me? Cheers, .eXit. RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-08 (2013-09-08, 00:08:29).eXit. Wrote: I am still using version 2.5 beta 10 and I would like to have a link at the bottom that brings me back to the top of the page. But with the HTML anchor it will not work. You want it only on single/full posts? I assume you inserted something like <a name="top"></a> in your template...

Wrote: I am still using version 2.5 beta 10 and I would like to have a link at the bottom that brings me back to the top of the page. But with the HTML anchor it will not work. using "name" attribute for anchors in the page are not the best solution anymore. You should use "id" attribute instead. An example - before the content you put <div id="top"> </div> and then you put a link somewhere in the bottom (usually with fixed position) that has <a href="#top">Back to top</a> RE: News Manager (updated) - .eXit. - 2013-09-08 I want it only on the post list http://meine-welt.bplaced.net/news i have try that with <a name="top"></a> and <a href="#top">Zurück zum Anfang</a>, but then nothing is displayed on the newspage RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-08 In the next beta there will be another way to do this, but right now you could insert this in your template file: Code: <?php if (return_page_slug()=='news' && !nm_post_title("","",0)) { ?> ...just after your template's get_page_content(); tag. RE: News Manager (updated) - .eXit. - 2013-09-08 Hey, thanks Carlos, it works fine. What I need to change if I want to have this on all pages? RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-08 For all GS pages except NM single posts, change first line to: Code: <?php if (!nm_post_title("","",0)) { ?> For all pages including posts, just insert your link in the template file. RE: News Manager (updated) - .eXit. - 2013-09-08 Thank you, Carlos. Your support here in the forum is really great!

RE: News Manager (updated) - Carlos - 2013-09-10 (2013-09-10, 05:50:06)D.O. Wrote: is there in this version No. You still have to patch it. Would that solution (just limit number of posts displayed) work for you? Pagination for tag pages is in the to-do list for now. |
