After several attempts I finally got it working and then discovered the vid tutorial. I was going to document but I guess that irrelevant now. (Thanks Ben!!!)

I also would like to know how the pagination works. No success so far. If anybody has implemented it, could you let us know please?

Yeah, phpwcms get better and better!

Hi Ben,

this really helped me a lot, THANK YOU!

A question remains on all yours 'best practices'...`:
How do I best realize a combination of teaser and news?
I want a news section/category (so far your tutorial is perfect) AND have the most recent news-teasers being shown on the right-hand side ( {RIGHT} ) of my webpage's starting page.

Thanks for you advide, best wishs,
Felix

Hi,

I have just done this on a site i'm doing, it's on localhost so i can't show you a link but here is the template and the css.

Just add another news content part to your home page and set it to display right {RIGHT} in the content part. then select this template and add the css to frontend.css.

the template has a div tag called: <div id="newsContainer"> you can adapt this to suit your needs.

Save the template as something like: news_list.tmpl in template\inc_cntpart\news

Template:

Code: Select all

<!--NEWS_SETTINGS_START//-->
; how many news should be listed per row
news_per_row = 2

; teaser text rendered as <p></p> = p
; or just line break to <br> = br
news_teaser_text = p

; template for files - the same as used
; for content part files , default:
; files_template_list = default
files_template_list = default
files_template_detail = default
files_direct_download = 0

<!--NEWS_SETTINGS_END//-->
news_per_row = 1

<!--NEWS_LIST_START//-->
[TITLE]<h3>{TITLE}</h3>[/TITLE]
[SUBTITLE]<h4>{SUBTITLE}</h4>[/SUBTITLE]
[NEWS_ENTRIES]{NEWS_ENTRIES}[/NEWS_ENTRIES]
<!--NEWS_LIST_END//-->
<!--NEWS_LIST_ENTRY_START//-->
<div class="newsEntry[PRIO] prio{PRIO}[/PRIO]">
<div id="newsContainer">
<ul>
[NEWS_TITLE]<li><a href="{NEWS_DETAIL_LINK}">{NEWS_TITLE}</a></li>[/NEWS_TITLE]
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!--NEWS_LIST_ENTRY_END//-->
<!--NEWS_LIST_ENTRY_SPACE_START//-->
	<!-- space between news items -->
<!--NEWS_LIST_ENTRY_SPACE_END//-->
<!--NEWS_LIST_ROW_SPACE_START//-->
	<!-- space between rows of news items -->
<!--NEWS_LIST_ROW_SPACE_END//-->
<!--NEWS_LIST_START//-->
[NEWS_ENTRIES]{NEWS_ENTRIES}[/NEWS_ENTRIES]
<!--NEWS_LIST_END//-->


<!--NEWS_DETAIL_START//-->
<div class="news">
	<!--

I tried, watched your video and everything seems to be idiot proof but ...

When I click on the [more...] link ( TLD.com/index.php?news&newsdetail=19991130-34_news )
I get redirected to the index.phtml.

Any idea what I am missing? PHPWCMS 1.3.9

use this field to link in another site - made with another CP maybe...
if you fill out this field you got a link - thats all...

and if you fill out the field called "URL/text" you change the link name !
if you do not fill out this field, you can see only the "more..." link

Hello everybody

I have a few questions but my technical English is not very well so I have to ask my questions in German if it's ok.(?)

Ich habe phpwcms 1.4.2. Bin nach der Anleitung gegangen (vielen Dank für das Video-Tutorial). mod_rewrite ist on und funktioniert wunderbar. Jedoch nicht bei den News. Der Teasertext wird zwar angezeigt aber wenn ich auf read klicke, dann kommt die im Admin/Vorlage unter Fehler hinterlegte Meldung, dass die Seite nicht angezeigt werden kann (Fehler 404, hier wird noch gebaut). Der Pfad, wenn ich mit der Maus über den Link read gehe sieht wie folgt aus:

http://localhost/index.php?Neuigkeiten& ... Programm-1

Wo könnte der Hund bei mir begraben sein? Ich bin noch im Anfängerstadium und wäre für leicht verständliche Tipps dankbar.

Hast du ALLE Kategorien mit ALIAS versehen?
Eine online URL wäre ggf hilfreich... wenn du hast!

Hallo pepe

1.
Ich habe unter Seitenstruktur Neuigkeiten mit dem Alias der Seitenebene neuigkeiten-1 (warum hier -1 automatisch dazugeschrieben wird weiss ich nicht). Unter Artikel habe ich einen Artikel Neuigkeiten mit dem Alias neuigkeiten-2 (wird auch automatisch geschriben). Dann wurde ein CP News angelegt wie im Video (Archich:archiv und Newsartikel: Neuigkeiten).

Dann Artikel>News und zwei News erstellt:
Inhaltstitel: Neu im Programm
Bezeichnung: Neu im Programm und Alias: Neu-im-Programm-1 (auch automatisch)

Frage am Rande: kann es sein, dass, wenn man den Alias ändert, nicht mehr den alten Alias verwenden kann? Wo wird dies in der DB gespeichert wie kann ich die alten Alias löschen?

2.
ich verwende xampp und doktere solange lokal herum bis ich es ein wenig drauf habe. will mich ja im weltweiten Netz nicht blamieren :wink:

Hallo,

ein Alias darf nur ein einziges mal im System vorkommen. Bei der Anlage von Kategorien oder Artikeln gleicht das System die Datenbank ab und ergänzt autom. den Alias mit fortlaufenden Nummern. Groß/Kleinschreibung spielen keine Rolle. Zwischen Kategorie und Artikel wird nicht unterschieden, da beide in der URL gleichberechtigt.
Bsp.:
Vergebener Kategorie-Alias: neuigkeiten
Vorgeschlagener Artikel-Alias: Neuigkeiten-1
Nächster Kategorie-oder Artikel-Alias: NeuigKeiten-2

Siehe auch: Löschen von alten Einträgen in der DB
