Cumbe,

I am just translating the language file and I saw, that "ndel" exists 2 times in the en_US.php, once in the form section and one time in the backup-section, is that correct?

When I am ready, I will attach the german file here

[Oleg06]

plug-in is good, but after trying to leave comments in Russian, I saw it, but everything is normal in English

Управление новостями и комментариями

[Connie]

spakolny noche

[cumbe]

Thanks and regards

[cumbe]

Hi,
Upload a new version, fixed problems with cirillics characters and new land: de_DE, thanks Connie.

Regards.

[Oleg06]

thanks, it works
Only the title of this in admin

Code:

УЯравленШе ннвнстяУШ Ш ЪнУУентарШяУШ

instead of

Code:

Управление новостями и комментариями

how to change the date display in the news

[cumbe]

thanks, it works
Only the title of this in admin

Code:

УЯравленШе ннвнстяУШ Ш ЪнУУентарШяУШ

instead of

Code:

Управление новостями и комментариями

I think that it is fixed, at least it does not now occur me. Check ru_RU.php saved like utf-8 without BOOM, by say something... clean cache too...

how to change the date display in the news

In line 909, it is date, $pubdate is variable that contain date.

Thanks oleg06 for you test.

[Oleg06]

some corrections, it works, how is it possible to do something, that the date appears in different languages, or even be in the format dd.mm.Y

[cumbe]

I can think of that could put the format to choose within the group, as an option...

but of moment you can put fotmat dd.mm.yyyy in line 909, writes this line so:

Code:

$mostrar.= '<span style="float: right; font-style: oblique; font-size: 11px;">'.i18n_r('news_comments/pubd').' '.strftime('%d.%m.%Y', strtotime(substr($pubdate,0, -6))).'</span><br />';

[Ampersand]

Wow, after seeing demo of this awesome plugin I am even too afraid to install it. I have just dared to attach translation into Polish, as this is the only language I speak natively. It is 99% complete, I left out some in English as they were nor clear neither correct enough to translate them, so I think some native English could polish English version as well, but for current development stage it is enough in my opinion.

Could you please in next versions:

anglicise css classes an make them plugin-unique
instead of
<div class="tabla">
put
<div class="nc_main_table">

include proper indenting of html output

instead of
<div class="tabla"><dl class="hello"><dt class="thr"><span class="number">
put
<div class="tabla">
<dl class="hello">
<dt class="thr">
<span class="number">

This plugin is very close to final stage, I think it will be most useful to most of my GSpowered sites. Feel free to ask for any help.

[andyash]

Can you give a possibility to edit the post date?

[cumbe]

Hi andyash;
In this moment, use a function of getsimple lngDate, that is in admin/inc/basic.php. You can modify format date of post in lines +-526 to 530 and lines 590 to 594:

Code:

else if ($n == 'date'){
                    $d = substr($d,0,strpos($d,'+')-1);
                      $d = lngDate($d);
                    $lin .= '</span> <span class="data">'.htmlentities(i18n_r('news_comments/Ps'), ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8").' '.stripslashes($d).'</span></dt>';
                    echo $lin;
                  }

You have to put format date in $d= lngDate($d), replace lngDate what you want.

Regards.

PD: in the next version, will try put format date of comments and news in setting, lang and email...

[andyash]

Sounds good. Can there also be a possibility to add social sharing scripts from AddThis etc. to give access to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, GooglePlus etc. and a whole variety of networking buttons?

[Ampersand]

Can there also be a possibility to switch on/off social sharing scripts?

[andyash]

How do I decide the number of posts to show for a group? For group A I want to show 6 posts and for group B I want to show only 2 posts? How do I manage this?

One thing is sorely missing. When you click on a post excerpt and go to the full post there is no link to go back to News main page.

[cumbe]

[yojoe]

Cumbe: is there a possibility of having settings per news group ?
For example in two news columns, one should show only date and header, while second column would show date, header, thumbnail and intro text.

[cumbe]

Yojoe, there is already a settings for groups.

- GROUP OPTIONS:
Will see all groups created. You can Add groups and edit it.
Edit group:
* Name of group: can be a number, name,...
* Caption: label that will appear in the list of news.
* Nº news in list: pagination, is the number of news that will appear in the list.
* Order: D(decrease): first, the last news, ...
I(increase): first, the first news ...
* Type of order:
+ by entry: in the order the page are saved like news.
+ by field order of news: is possible put a number like has to appear the news. It order can not be repeated inside of the same group.

For example in two news columns, one should show only date and header, while second column would show date, header, thumbnail and intro text.

But, i don't understand good this. You want to say that you can choose between show: "only date and header," or "or date, header(caption), thumbnail and intro text" for the header of group.
