Install the plugin, configured it.
For testing I needed to copy the page code:
Display blog categoriesBelow is your blogs RSS feed:
<?php show_blog_categories(); ?>

Display blog search bar:
<?php show_blog_search(); ?>

Display blog archives:
<?php show_blog_archives(); ?>

Show your blogs most recent posts:
<?php show_blog_recent_posts(); ?>
The result you can see for yourself. News is not displayed. What is the problem?

The template must have the <?php get_page_content(); ?> function. Can you confirm that is in place?

On to my question, I just started using this cms today so I don't know much, is there a php code to show the date stamp of individual posts?

You would have to modify the core a bit. Edit the show_blog_post() function
* to get the date it would be <?php echo $post->date; ?>

I will include a switch in version 1.1 to display date.

Thanks for the quick reply! Tried it and it works, yay

Any idea how to change the date format though?

yojoe Wrote:Mike: I haven't tried your plugin yet, but I've got some questions about its functionalities:
1. is it possible to have 2 (and more) news containers on one page with different setup ?
f.e. last 5 news with thumbnail and excerpt, headers of latest 10 announcements, and so on.

2. is the content created by your plugin searchable using i18n_search ?
Does it offer tagging and categorizing news with tags ?

3.The more, is it compatible with all Martin's plugins ?
Or it's more a standalone solution, like newsmanager plugin ?

• Multiple instances of function could be used on in a template file
  
• You can override default "list all posts" function in settings panel
  
• Pass variable whether to display excerpt, thumbnail, or just heading or just thumbnail (etc..)

When I choose to display an exerpt on the posts page, I see the following warning (and no text):

Code:

Warning: substr() expects parameter 3 to be long, object given in D:\www\site.com\plugins\blog\class\Blog.php on line 560

mikeh Wrote:1. What do you mean by news containers? You can only have one instance of the blog. Tell me if the below function is what you are looking for

2 & 3. I have not used the majority of Martin's plugins so I do not know how they behave and they were not a consideration when creating this plugin. Is there any specific manors you would like this plugin to integrate with his?
