News Manager (updated)
(2016-02-18, 05:02:53)Carlos Wrote: Here's a way to add News Manager to the Custom Landing Page dropdown selector in the Multi User plugin (v1.8.2):

- Install and activate the sa hook components plugin
- Create a component named hook_footer and paste this:


Code:
<?php if (basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'load.php' && isset($_GET['id']) && $_GET['id'] == 'user-managment') { ?>
<script>
$('select[id="userland"]').append($('<option>', {
   text: 'News Manager',
   value: 'load.php?id=news_manager'
}));
</script>
<?php } ?>

Works for me on Firefox and Chrome, but I'm not sure it will work in all browsers. (The Multi User plugin is incorrectly rendering multiple selects with same css id and name.)
Hi Carlos

I've used your quick fix of manually editing the user xml file which works a treat for my user to only edit News.

I also tried you other method of using sa hook plugin, but I got an error trying to save the component with your code (above). I've had trouble in the past with mod_sec not liking some components in the past on my current host, so I'm wondering if that's what stopped it working.

News Manager Auto-open Post Options 0.1 - download
Automatically open the post options when editing News Manager posts
(similar to what this plugin does for pages, but not remembering last state)

Optional:

- To enable only when creating new posts (but not editing existing ones), add this to your site's gsconfig.php file:


Code:
define('NMAUTOOPEN','new');

- To disable auto-open without deactivating the plugin:


Code:
define('NMAUTOOPEN',0);

Hi Carlos, is there a way to reverse the action so that new posts have options closed, but they are open for editing existing posts?

Use this new version:
News Manager Auto-open Post Options 0.2 - download
that has a new gsconfig option to enable only for editing existing posts:
Code:
define('NMAUTOOPEN','edit');

Many thanks Carlos. It works great!

You're welcome.

Check the new beta 32, I've added MU landing page support to the plugin itself.

Hello Carlos. How to adjust news manager url? It turns out that having entered any tag into the field, the page without contents instead of 404 opens. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Give me some examples or try to explain with more detail.

for example: .../blog?tag=olala, or .../blog/tag/olala - refers to nonexistent article. Instead of 404 pages, shows the usual page with a cap and the cellar, without contents that is negative for advance in search engines..

Ah yes, I get it now. (#245)

I am trying to modify the post loading to work with my template's (futureimperfect) classes so it looks pretty. I cannot find where you write any of the html in your code to make the posts in the plugins files. When i load the default page when i inspect the elements i see classes for posts and titles but I cannot find where to edit them or where you code would throw it onto my page. Any helped to find where this happens would be appreciated.

You might get a fair result by adding the News Manager classes to the theme css, so for instance everywhere the css has
.post
you replace it with
.post, .nm_post
But better to actually give the NM posts the same html structure and classes as the theme posts and to leave the css unchanged. To do this you need the extra plugin News Manager Addons and the function nm_custom_display_recent . See here:
http://www.cyberiada.org/cnb/news-manage...ns-plugin/

Let us know if it isn't clear

Besides using default .nm_... classes as Timbow suggests, you can use NM Custom Settings to somewhat customize the post layout, using showFields (to specify what fields you want and in which order) and custom classes and markup (see here -> Custom CSS class selectors and Custom HTML markup)

Anyway, after releasing NM 3.3 I'll start working on supporting other ways to customize posts' layout.

This will be addressed in NM 3.3. It's already done in the latest dev/beta version.

Hi Carlos,

How do I go about changing the url from:

site.com/?post=articletitle
to
site.com/articletitle

Also for tag url from

site.com/?tag=tagname
to
site.com/tagname

I am using the Beta version 3.3

Sorry, that's not currently possible (as long as the plugin uses htaccess rewriterules for fancy URLs)

Since 3.0 NM allows some (limited) customization of the URL structure via gsconfig settings, but only for renaming /post/, /tag/, etc., and for removing the /post/ part (though only if the news page is not the index page)

I have plans to improve this but I can't tell when it will be. Right now, a plugin like I18N Special Pages is best suited for this, I suppose.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the suggestion of gsconfig settings. That will work with renaming tag to categories.

How about renaming the "post" to correspond to tag name of that post?

What do you mean, pagination for long posts in single post view?

No, I am referring to here is:

Or you already did and I already forgot again about this? Smile

Here I have 8 pages and I would like to show 5, and the rest is replaced by ...

What custom settings do you mostly use in News Manager?
or
Which ones would you like to (or do you think that should) be directly available in NM settings?
