News Manager
(2013-12-24, 10:04:09)mevsme Wrote: Hi, I'm new to GetSimpleCms and stuff.

But I think I've found a small problem in NM Plugin.

I discovered that if you name News post with non latin letters, there is no name for .xml file in 'data\posts\' and it's messing my posts list a bit. It becomes to impossible edit or delete that post untill you do it manually.

Is that confirmed?

Hi mevsme,
are you using the latest News Manager that Carlos posted right above your post in this topic? This topic is for the old version which is not supported anymore.

Nevertheless, to the topic: I'm using the latest beta which you can find here http://get-simple.info/forums/showthread...1#pid41591 (this is the topic for the new still updated version) and as I'm from the Czech Republic, I use extended latin (includes letters like ěščřžýáíéůú etc.) and I have no such problem. You can try to edit a post's slug in a post's preferences to something without those special chars and see if the problem persists. If it's the case, look for transliteration plugins which will strip your headings from these special chars to create a proper slug which can be used normally without any problem (an example - if a post's heading is 'Čeština je jazyk můj', it will strip it to 'cestina-je-jazyk-muj' and so on). I think this might be the case.

For Czechoslovak version, look here http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/cze...ation/633/ and for Romanian version, look here http://get-simple.info/extend/language/r...ation/203/ .

Hi mevsme,
Once your problem was mine too, I am Italian (so I use Latin characters).
So please download and use "News Manager Updated".
I will resolve your poblem. Let me know if you resolved.

Hi Carlos, I would just like to say that I think this plugin is great and very useful for what I need.

Im not a developer myself and being able to display posts with a certain tag on a specific page would help immensely.

My question is, would it be possible to use the built in search function on NM to automatically search when a page is loaded and display the results?

Feel free to make enhancements to the plugin, you can share them over here.
I'm maintaining my own News Manager clone (before starting it, I posted my suggested changes in this thread, like others). You can post your suggestions in the GitHub repo, or fork it if you wish. If I like your changes I'll probably apply them to my version.

[edit] I hadn't seen datiswous' reply (or I'm too slow typing... :-))

Hi. The installation instructions say: "The original content of this page will be replaced with the posts that you have published". What if I'd like to keep the original page content too? I'd like to introduce the news section; is this possible? Thanks.

Insert this in your template, before the <?php get_page_content(); ?> line:

PHP Code:
<?php if (strval(get_page_slug(false))==$NMPAGEURLgetPageContent($NMPAGEURL); ?>

That will show the page content in any news page including single posts, archives etc. If you want it to be displayed only in the main news page, use this instead:

PHP Code:
<?php if (strval(get_page_slug(false))==$NMPAGEURL  && !isset($_GET['post']) && !isset($_GET['page']) && !isset($_GET['tag']) && !isset($_GET['archive']) && !isset($_GET['search'])) getPageContent($NMPAGEURL); ?>

(This can be done easier with the beta version, that has new conditional tags.)

Further questions, please to the News Manager (updated) thread (if you're using it - if not, I suggest you to upgrade to 2.4.4).

First of all thank you for news manager Wink great plugin but I wonder is there a possibility to display numbers of pages instead of "older posts", "newer posts" ??

Edit:
...so, I made pages numbering. There are many examples of this feature in web and it can be made in diffrent ways but I decide to do it by my own. It's a bit wordy but I wanted to make as least condition checks as posible. Tell me what you thinking about it and keep in mind I'm not php programmer.

PHP Code:
function nm_show_navigation($index$total) {
  
$url nm_get_url('page');
  echo 
'<div class="nm_page_nav">';
  
  
########
       
  
if($index==0){ ## if we're on first page
    
echo "[1] "## ...and rest of numbers as links
    
for($num=2;$num<=$total;$num++){ 
      
?>
      <a href="<?php echo $url.($num-1); ?>">
      <?php echo "[".$num."] "?>
      </a>
      <?php
    

   }else{  
## first page as link
    
?>
    <a href="<?php echo substr($url0, -6); ?>">
    <?php echo "[1] "?>
    </a>
     <?php ## more!
    
for($num=2;$num<$index;++$num){ 
      
?>
      <a href="<?php echo $url.($num); ?>">
      <?php echo "[".$num."] "?>
      </a>
    <?php
    

    
?>
     <?php ## echo current page
    
echo "[".($index+1)."] ";
    
?>
     <?php ## if it's NOT last page...
    
if($index!=$total-1){  
          
## ...echo rest of pages
      
for($num=$index+1;$num<=$total;++$num){ 
        
?>
        <a href="<?php echo $url.($num); ?>">
        <?php echo "[".$num."] "?>
        </a>
        <?php
    
}
  }  
}

echo '</div>';


Hello, your code works. Thank you. Only during the transition to page 2 is displayed in the navigation page number twice. For example:
1 2 2 3 4 5
If you turn to page 3, then 4 is shown twice
Could you please help me?
Еhank you

Hola Carlos, hi GetSimplers.
I'm so glad to see that NewsManager - my favorite plugin - is growing up day by day... so here's my humble contribution: A pull-down menu with all the categories, just like WordPress. Enjoy.

PHP Code:
function nm_select_tags() {
echo 
'<form action="" method="post">';
echo 
'<select name="nmTAG" onchange="window.location.href= this.form.nmTAG.options[this.form.nmTAG.selectedIndex].value">';
echo 
'<option value="">Make a choice...</option>';
  
$tags = array();
  foreach (
nm_get_tags() as $tag=>$posts)
    if (
substr($tag01) != '_')
      
$tags[$tag] = count($posts);
        foreach (
$tags as $tag=>$count) {
        
$url nm_get_url('tag') . $tag;
        
$spaces = array('-','.');    
    echo 
'<option value="'.$url.'">'.str_replace($spaces," ",$tag).'</option>';
    }
    echo 
'</select></form>';    
  }

Hi everyone,
maybe I missed the answer, but I would like to ask, if there is a possibility to have news in news manager in many language, because I see in English/German the same text and I don't know how to change it.

In Admin-Page site I can add page in every language, can I do the same in News Manager?

Best wishes!

I really do apologize if this has been answered but how  do I set up the New Manager RSS Settings. Specifically...'Page to display RSS feed.'

Should I create a new page? The select drop-down shows all of my current pages. I do believe I shouldnt use them but was wondering what was the correct setup.

thanks!

Yes, you have to create a page for this. More info in the plugin's thread
