News Manager

[SlavaP]

I have ru_RU locale and when creating news with title in Russian WITHOUT setting number/slug it generates .xml file (without name) wich cannot be edited or deleted through panel nor opened on site.
I think it will be better to automatically set filenames as 1.xml, 2.xml etc if no #/slug manually set.

Found and fixed - I guess this is more simple and automatic. If somebody want the same, here is the code:

Open the file "\plugins\news_manager\inc\posts.php"

In the function

Code:

function nm_save_post()

after the comment line

Code:

# set initial slug and filename

replace this block

Code:

if (!empty($_POST['post-slug']))
    $slug = nm_create_slug($_POST['post-slug']);
  else
    $slug = nm_create_slug($_POST['post-title']);

to this block

Code:

$countfile = NMDATAPATH . "count.xml";
   if (file_exists($countfile)){
       $xml = simplexml_load_file($countfile);
       $slug = $xml->count;
       $slug = $slug + 1;
       $xml->count = $slug;
    }
    else {
       $xml = @new SimpleXMLElement('<main></main>');
       $slug = 1;
       $xml->addChild('count', $slug);
    }
$xml->asXML($countfile);

How it works:
1. You BETTER must NOT have any news cause after turning this code on your news automatically will be named "1", "2", and so on.
2. If count file don't exist (there's no file on the first run except you made it with hands) it wiil be created in \data\other\news_manager\ with increment "1" and first news will be "1.xml"
3. Autoprocess will go on

Attention: with this change you will not be able to name news manually even if you put something to the field "Slug/URL:" (so I mean the name of the file , NOT the title).
