News Manager (updated)

[bobbiescap]

The example in the wiki was missing a comma. Try with this one:

Code:

define('GSEDITORTOOL',"['Source','Save','Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteFromWord','-','Undo','Redo','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','-','RemoveFormat','-','Outdent','Indent','-','Blockquote','CreateDiv'],['Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline','Strike','Subscript','Superscript', 'NumberedList','BulletedList','JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock', 'Table', 'TextColor', 'BGColor', 'Link','Unlink', 'Image'],'/',['Styles','Format','Font','FontSize','Flash','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar','PageBreak','Iframe','Maximize','ShowBlocks','-','About']");

(I've just corrected that in the wiki.)

I don't know why this affects NM but not GS. I have to check that.

Works a treat now thanks and you have helped me with troubleshooting skills. I'm sure this is why other plugins I have tried do not work. Sincerely appreciated

@newdeepdan

Can you send me by PM a link to your site?
Also paste the whole contents of your .htaccess file.

@Riianna

- Title excerpts will be supported in the next NM Addons release.

- Sorry, no video field is planned for now. Something like that could be done when support for post custom fields is added, but I'm afraid it will not be in the short term. Perhaps you can do what you need with rich excerpts (more 1 custom setting and <hr> separator)

- As for getting the post image: do you mean that the first image found in the post content is used as featured image instead of selecting it? I'll think about this.

Yes, exactly that i mean, first image found in the post content.

Hi Carlos,

how would I create a page just for the news archive?
in other words...
rather than have <?php nm_list_archives(); ?> in the sidebar
have it as a standalone page

Thanks
John

[Carlos]

You can do it with the Dynpages plugin, or with a template snippet. See here:

The Innovation theme includes a navigation menu on pages. This code appears in the header file:

<!-- breadcrumbs: only show when NOT on homepage -->

<p class="breadcrumbs" >
<span class="wrapper">
<?php Innovation_Parent_Link(get_parent(FALSE)); ?> <b><?php get_page_clean_title(); ?></b>
</span>
</p>


How can I get this to show in News Manager posts?

[Carlos]

To show the post title instead of the news page title, just replace <?php get_page_clean_title(); ?> by:
<?php nm_post_title() or get_page_clean_title(); ?>

But if you prefer to keep the link to the news page in any news page (posts, archives, etc.) except for the news home, replace the whole code you posted by:

Code:

        <!-- breadcrumbs: only show when NOT on homepage -->
        <p class="breadcrumbs" >
            <span class="wrapper">
        <?php Innovation_Parent_Link(get_parent(FALSE)); ?> <?php if (nm_is_site() && !nm_is_home()) { ?>
        <a href="<?php get_page_url(); ?>"><?php get_page_clean_title(); ?></a>
        <?php if (nm_is_single()) { nm_post_title('&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;'); } ?>
        <?php } else { ?>
        <b><?php get_page_clean_title(); ?></b>
        <?php } ?>
            </span>
        </p>

Hi,
Is it possible to specify page template for displaying full post content?
What I want to achieve is to have social bar displayed only on pages with posts.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards

[Carlos]

To use a specific template only for single/full post pages, enable NM Custom settings and enter:

Code:

single templateFile template2.php

where template2.php is your alternative template.

Thanks for your help Carlos. You've done great job so far.

Hi again,
I've got one more question. Is it possible in current release of NM to count each view of news, or maybe there is some plugin to show most popular posts in sidebar?

[shelest7]

Hello, Carlos!

Tell me pls, is it possible to set the display of the news in order not from the last to the first, and in reverse order?

[sidotij]

Hi Carlos,

do you have plans to add a categories option for News Manager?
I really like this plugin and want to use it on a site that uses news/blog categories

Thank you
John

[Oleg06]

you can use tags as a category http://getsimple.business-website.ru/novosti/

Hi, I have question is there a way to make posts page to display content from page editor above posts list?

[morvy]

@lysy2708 I don't think it's possible if you mean admin area. You can have New Post link with plugin and Newsmanager tab in top row (supports multiuser permissions as well)


@Carlos, is it possible to combine old tag list with new one ? I mean in old one, there was a class for most frequent tags so I could style them with bigger font for example. In new tag list function there is possibility to make tag active and show count but it would be cool to have tag list with active class + frequent tags

[Carlos]

This might work: edit news_manager/inc/site.php, find function nm_get_posts and just before the last return $posts; line (near the end of the function), insert this:

Code:

$posts = array_reverse($posts);

Hi, I have question is there a way to make posts page to display content from page editor above posts list?

I hope I have understood what you need.

Edit your template and insert this:

Code:

<?php if (nm_is_home()) getPageContent(return_page_slug()); ?>

...just before the <?php get_page_content(); ?> line.

If you want to display the news page content also on secondary pages, archives, tag pages, etc., change nm_is_home by nm_is_site (or nm_is_main only for pages 1, 2, 3... but not for tags, archives...)

I had in mind to improve the tag cloud (with multiple classes and/or font sizes), perhaps with a new function.
But I may do it with nm_tag_list() as you suggest.

You just made a mistake with the name of the file... It functions.php
However, I have no problem to understand... )

Posts don't have ID numbers, the ID is the 'slug'
