News Flash Content Type [Updated 2.0.4]

[JensZ]

Doublecheck that the function is really in front.func.inc.php.

[JensZ]

Hi

I've updated the news flash content type to allow selection of whole article categories. Actually it is a completely new content type because the changes would cause all previous news flash contents to not work anymore.

Instructions and downloads: http://www.ikfrej.se/index.php?downloads



In the above example, all articles from the category with title "Content" plus two more articles will appear in the article listing generated by the news flash content part.

Cheers,

Jens

Alright,

I uploaded the files and then carefully renamed the original files ".b4nf" and then replaced the .nf off of the ones that came with the zip file. I am currently using phpwcms 1.2.8 w/ patch C. The installation, properly put all the content part items in the interface, but now when I try to load the page, with or without the content part. I get this error.

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare utf2html() (previously declared in /mnt/Target01/324460/324463/www.abraira.com/web/content/include/inc_front/front.func.inc.php:3030) in /mnt/Target01/324460/324463/www.abraira.com/web/content/include/inc_front/ext.func.inc.php on line 81

To all you chewing over the solution, I thank you...peace

[JensZ]

It seems like the function utf2html has been declared twice. Maybe the function has moved to a different module in 1.2.8? To resolve, remove utf2html() from front.func.inc.php. Alternatively, wrap this around the function:

Code: Select all

if(!function_exists("utf2html"))
{
function utf2html()
{
// ... body of function here
}
}

Good luck!

I am still getting the error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare utf2html() (previously declared in /mnt/Target01/324460/324463/www.abraira.com/web/content/include/inc_front/front.func.inc.php:3031) in /mnt/Target01/324460/324463/www.abraira.com/web/content/include/inc_front/ext.func.inc.php on line 81

I went into the inclue/inc_front/front.func.inc.php file and found it reading like this:

Code: Select all

// taken from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php
// vpribish at shopping dot com, 10-Sep-2004 08:55
function utf2html($str) {
	$ret = '';
	$max = strlen($str);
	$last = 0;  // keeps the index of the last regular character
	for ($i=0; $i < $max; $i++) {
		$c = $str{$i};
		$c1 = ord($c);
		if ($c1>>5 == 6) {  // 110x xxxx, 110 prefix for 2 bytes unicode
			$ret .= substr($str, $last, $i-$last); // append all the regular characters we've passed
			$c1 &= 31; // remove the 3 bit two bytes prefix
			$c2 = ord($str{++$i}); // the next byte
			$c2 &= 63;  // remove the 2 bit trailing byte prefix
			$c2 |= (($c1 & 3) << 6); // last 2 bits of c1 become first 2 of c2
			$c1 >>= 2; // c1 shifts 2 to the right
			$ret .= "&#" . ($c1 * 100 + $c2) . ";"; // this is the fastest string concatenation
			$last = $i+1;
		} 
	}
	return $ret . substr($str, $last, $i); // append the last batch of regular characters
}

I then changed it to this:

Code: Select all

// taken from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php
// vpribish at shopping dot com, 10-Sep-2004 08:55
if(!function_exists("utf2html")) {
function utf2html($str) {
	$ret = '';
	$max = strlen($str);
	$last = 0;  // keeps the index of the last regular character
	for ($i=0; $i < $max; $i++) {
		$c = $str{$i};
		$c1 = ord($c);
		if ($c1>>5 == 6) {  // 110x xxxx, 110 prefix for 2 bytes unicode
			$ret .= substr($str, $last, $i-$last); // append all the regular characters we've passed
			$c1 &= 31; // remove the 3 bit two bytes prefix
			$c2 = ord($str{++$i}); // the next byte
			$c2 &= 63;  // remove the 2 bit trailing byte prefix
			$c2 |= (($c1 & 3) << 6); // last 2 bits of c1 become first 2 of c2
			$c1 >>= 2; // c1 shifts 2 to the right
			$ret .= "&#" . ($c1 * 100 + $c2) . ";"; // this is the fastest string concatenation
			$last = $i+1;
		} 
	}
	return $ret . substr($str, $last, $i); // append the last batch of regular characters
}
}

Well since I didn't get a quick reply to my latest post, I went ahead and started to chisel away to see what pieces remain. First, the functions declared in your front.func.inc.php are already declared in version 1.2.8 in the ext.func.inc.php file in the same directory.

• is_date()
  is_float_ex()
  decode_entities()
  utf2html()

They were removed and I was left with this error message that has left me a bit stuck:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getimagecaption() in /mnt/Target01/324460/324463/www.abraira.com/web/content/include/inc_front/content.article.inc.php on line 155

[JensZ]

It seems like Oliver has rearranged the front.func.inc.php totally in 1.2.8 and created a new file called ext.func.inc.php with all non-core code. What you need to do is to keep the original front.func.inc.php as is and merge the newsflash functions (get_newsflash_articles_data() and get_newsflash_article_list()) into ext.func.inc.php. I haven't tried this myself, but it should work.

I will upgrade newsflash for 1.2.8 as soon as I upgrade myself, which probably will not be until November or so.

Cheers,

Jens

Jenz,

Thank you for taking the time with your busy schedule. I tried your suggestion by copying both the (get_newsflash_articles_data() and get_newsflash_article_list() function into the ext.func.inc.php file. This is what the code looked like. I copied the function and put at the end of the document.

Code: Select all

.... 
function getContentPartTopLink($param=0) {
	global $template_default;
	$toplink = '';
	if($param) {
		if($template_default["article"]["top_sign_before"].$template_default["article"]["top_sign_after"]) {
			$toplink .= $template_default["article"]["top_sign_before"];
			$toplink .= '<a href="#top">'.$template_default["article"]["top_sign"].'</a>';
			$toplink .= $template_default["article"]["top_sign_after"];
		} else{
			$toplink .= '<br /><a href="#top">' . $template_default["article"]["top_sign"] . '</a>';
		}
	}
	return $toplink;
}

function getContentPartAlias($crow) {
	global $db;
	$alias = unserialize($crow["acontent_form"]);
	if(!empty($alias['alias_ID'])) {
		$alias['alias_ID'] = intval($alias['alias_ID']);
		$sql_alias  = "SELECT * FROM ".DB_PREPEND."phpwcms_articlecontent WHERE acontent_id=";
		$sql_alias .= $alias['alias_ID'] . " AND acontent_trash=0 LIMIT 1"; 
		if($alias_result = mysql_query($sql_alias, $db)) {
			if($alias_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($alias_result)) {
				if(empty($alias['alias_block'])) {
					$alias_row['acontent_block'] = $crow['acontent_block'];
				}
				if(empty($alias['alias_spaces'])) {
					$alias_row['acontent_before'] = $crow['acontent_before'];
					$alias_row['acontent_after']  = $crow['acontent_after'];
				}
				if(empty($alias['alias_title'])) {
					$alias_row['acontent_title']     = $crow['acontent_title'];
					$alias_row['acontent_subtitle']  = $crow['acontent_subtitle'];
				}
				if(empty($alias['alias_toplink'])) {
					$alias_row['acontent_top'] = $crow['acontent_top'];
				}
				$crow = $alias_row;
			}
			mysql_free_result($alias_result);
		}
	}
	return $crow;

I didn't get a php error, but this is what my webpage looked like.



When I tried copying the code to the top of the document, that basically printed the entire ext.func.inc.php file onto the web page.

[anthony.abraira]

sorry I am not very good at php and just now discovered the ?> misplaced in my script.

Version 2.0.2 is now available. See top of this thread for details.

Alright this whole issue would probably never have surfaced if the Newsflash Content Part would have done its thing. (Or at least how I thought it would work.) I created a new block called ARTICLE_ICON that would hold a designated icon for each article that I created. The idea was to have the Newsflash component than display their respective icons for each article.

Two outcomes to different methods:

Content Part - This method yielded a listing of all the articles but with the same icon. The listing template was just one line of code: {ARTICLE_ICON}.

Replacement tag - I put the replacement to show c10 (category 10) with the same template. This created an error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_newsflash_article_list() in /home/content/s/p/o/spotlightla/html/phpwcms_template/inc_script/frontend_render/newsflash.php on line 33

I am running on 1.2.8 (w/ G Patch) release. This is not an upgrade.

sorry to rain on the parade (or maybe its just raining over here)

thanks for your help y'all

[anthony.abraira]

Please disregard the first issue. Totally forgot about the summary image. (Which takes the place of my ARTICLE ICON idea....now the only problem is with the replacement tag....same error
