Title: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: joop on January 25, 2011, 11:45:24 AM: I'm lost.
Yesterday I've upgraded the website from 2.7 to 2.8.1 and everything works....except the anynews thingy.
I've been sniffing around this topic, but can't understand what I'm doing wrong here.
It shows the news-items, but when I click at it, it gives me an emty page in return.
This is the code I'm using:
Code: [Select]
<?php display_news_items(0, 5, 50, 2, "Laatste nieuws", "lees meer", "oeps, no news available", false); ?>
Greetz,
Joop

It tells you about the news module, some fields and css are changed.

I've followed it all, but still it doesn't work.
Any suggestions? (ik begrijp er geen hol meer van :wink:)

Can we have a look?

Post by: joop on January 25, 2011, 02:20:50 PM: I've had E_ALL on all the time, but where should it generate the errors? No errors are displayed in the newspage....

Post by: Ruud on January 25, 2011, 02:28:54 PM: Always good to check for errors. Especially on empty page results.

Post by: Ruud on January 25, 2011, 02:41:15 PM: With E_ALL, if there are errors, you will see them on the webpage output.
It seems there are no errors to show.

Next thing to check is if anything is outputted using sourceview or debuggingtools of your browser.

If not, check your newspage output templates. (note: this is not a problem of theDisplayNews snippet)

Post by: joop on January 25, 2011, 03:27:24 PM: Hi Ruud,

Below is the source. It displays the links.
But the page is emty where it should give the long description (div id="right").

Code: [Select]
<div id="news"> <p>  <h2>Laatste nieuws</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.molengaard.nl/pages/posts/hkz-keurmerk55.php">HKZ-keurmerk</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.molengaard.nl/pages/posts/fysioforum-nieuws54.php">Fysioforum Nieuws</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.molengaard.nl/pages/posts/stefan-rusch-wereldkampioen-100-meter52.php">Stefan Rusch WERELDKAMPIOEN 100 meter</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.molengaard.nl/pages/posts/nieuws-uit-het-team.51.php">Nieuws uit het team.</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.molengaard.nl/pages/posts/telefonische-bereikbaarheid27.php">Telefonische Bereikbaarheid</a></li> </ul> </p> </div> </div> <div id="right">  <div class="special"> <a class="section_anchor" id="wb_2" name="wb_2"></a> </div> </div>

Post by: Ruud on January 25, 2011, 03:58:24 PM: The newspage templateblocks are correct?
The newspage section is set to the correct section?
The newsitems have the correct date/time settings that control when they should be visible?
If you create a new newspage (not an item, a complte new page).. does that one work?
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: joop on January 25, 2011, 04:09:33 PM: I've created a new newspage with some test nes in it....it doesn't show up on the site.
Not even within the news-section

Is it possible to complete delete the newssection, and start over from scratch, and then place the news back in the database?
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: Ruud on January 25, 2011, 04:26:02 PM: I don't think that will help. If a new newspage is not functioning, deleting the old ones has no extra value.

I have no suggestions anymore you could do to check.
I assume you checked everything I suggested in the previous messages...
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: joop on January 25, 2011, 04:32:28 PM: Just noticed one thing, when I put the new newspage NOT hidden, it shows up but also the link to the long description works.
When I do this with the "old" newspage, it makes no different.

Post by: snark on January 26, 2011, 06:47:01 PM: Had à silimair problem, i saved THE htt files from anynews, threw anynews away and installed à fresh version from amasp... Them placed THE htt files back
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: joop on January 26, 2011, 09:30:05 PM: Hi Snoork,

Thanks for your reply. I will try it out, and let you know if this helped.

- edit - Where to find these htt files?
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: snark on January 27, 2011, 07:11:34 PM: In the anynews template folders, that is where you style the look of the anynews items
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: joop on January 28, 2011, 11:16:00 AM: I can't seem to find the htt files in the template folder.... :?
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: sky writer on January 28, 2011, 02:18:45 PM: Do you have the latest AFE (Addon File Editor), which shows hidden files?
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: joop on January 28, 2011, 09:09:18 PM: Ow crap....that's it.
Thanks Sky Writer! I will install it right away.

- Edit - Hmmm it still shows only 3 files (index, info and include) no htt files what so ever...
Title: Re: AnyNews doesn't work anymore after upgrade
Post by: snark on January 28, 2011, 11:51:51 PM: If you cannot find THE htt files you have probably not altered them so just overwrite em...

Then again... You should dive into this à bit, I often use lots of different groups and different htt templates to create all kinds of stuff in combination with news modules.
