TIDEngine News/Blog Manager

[bogyvet]

Invoking <?php tide_show_news(return_page_slug()); ?> shouldn't be done in template ?
All chars like "<" are changed to entities by ckeditor, thus I didn't believe that pasting php code will work just like that

There is build in functions that checks php code:

if (!function_exists('eval_php_in_content')) {
add_filter('content', 'evaluate_php_code');
}

Could you elaborate a bit about "separator" option ?
Can't find anything about that.

Means you like / or - or_.

Maybe already mentioned idea with categories assigned ID would solve that ?
Where directories would just be created with something like news-categoryID, and all settings about them could be taken from xml file.

I will try to figure out that. Example.
1. Create Category.
2. Assign category to page.
3. Create news and assign to category, that is not problem.
4. Delete Page, What now??? We loose category parent. How to reassign category to new page??

OK I figured out.... Thanks.

Please, be more specific. Plugin description mentions only about features and usage.
A short roadmap or changelogs would shred more light on things you plan to make with your plugin

It will be.

mmmm..I didn't even think about dedicated option for news thumbnails.
It could be a great feature, but should definitely offer image resizing.

I will add Create News Image uploader. I think that s best option.

And about creating categories. Binding them to pages, and then choosing categories from dropdown list during news creation, would be fantastic. If a website has >30 pages, choosing the right one from dropdown might be challenging

Means multiple Categories on one page. That shouldn't be a problem.

I didn't thought in that way, but it's a great idea !

Mention before...

no prob
I just like the concept and realization, especially news management, as it seems to be clear and simple.

Thanks...

Today I wanted to test tidengine on my BB theme demo page, and stepped in several other problems with this plugin.
Firstly I forgot to backup .htaccess file before installing tidenews.
After I realized that and looked inside the .htaccess, I enountered a complete mess.
I had additional, custom rewrite rules,a nd tidengine added its own rewrite rules 3 times in diffetent places.
This saying plugin should make a backup of htaccess file before adding own rules, or inform the user to manually add rules and list them. Whereas a checkbox "do not add rewrite rules automatically" would be also great, because not everyone will have FURLs enabled. From the other hand, advanced users may have custom rewrite rules like me, and an unpleasant surprise might await them.

I didn't think about that. My code find and replace with my rewrites. But backup is ok.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

One thing I forgot to mention was socialnetwork share functionality.
You implemented sharethis but there's no way to customize the media, thus all popular are being shown as a default option. Options to customize it would be great.
I'm also not sure what is the purpose of twitter settings inside tide options ?

This is basc socialnetwork share functionality. I have not time. If you like to see complete functionality check my plugin for e107 CMS te-AddThis.

Twitter settings is for future menu.

Thanks again.
