I made very rough code, that makes a listing of a specific group(id)
With the option of setting a "max results", and order them by date added. etc..
Just read the code, play with it. Refine it, restyle it.
Have fun..
<!-- NEWS READER -->
<?php
$group = 0; // Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,link
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts
WHERE group_id = $group
ORDER BY posted_when DESC
LIMIT 0, 5;"; // This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10.
// The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link; ?>
<p>
<a href="<?php echo WB_URL; ?><?php echo $link ?><?php echo PAGE_EXTENSION; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a>

Good Idea!
-
I would LOVE to use this snippet, but I don't know how :-(
When I copy the code into a Code module, it doesn't work. So I guess that is not the way it should be used... What is the right way to use this snippet?
And how do I have to use the Code module anyway? Can you just paste any HTML, JS, or PHP into it? I guess not, but I don't know how to use it properly...
-
just place the snippet into your template... any where you want to display the latest news items...
-
So no code page thing....
-
OK, thanks. So snippets are template based, not page based? Is it possible to convert a snippet to a module? That way you can add it to pages without having to create another template for it, if you don't want to have it on every page.
-
Very cool!! I tried it, and it works like a charm. I am very happy!!! :D :D
-
Hm... I'm still happy, but I noticed a small problem. The listing in the snippet is chronological, in order of input. When I change the order of the items in the backend, the order on the news page changes too, so that is correct. But the order of the snippet listing isn't affected by the back end change. Can this be changed? I know the snippet listing is a light version of the normal news listing, but I would like it to be just bit heavier, so that it listens to changes in the back end...
You can see it on http://www.bereikbaarheid.nl/cms.
This is a site I am working on for a client. It is not operational yet, and a number of things are not finished yet. But the news listing is working. It's a Dutch site, but that shouldn't be problem to see what mean.

Damn that template is looking nice... it's a beauty...
(and i'm dutch so i can read it ;))
I made the news script, so all news items added to the database, and only the latest 5 are displayed... you can also make it, replacing, ORDER BY posted_when by ORDER BY position, then it's affected by the admin back end.
But this is just a little snippet i'll try to build one with more options...
-
Fienieg, you made my day by saying nice things (thanks!) and solving my little problem. Great, I appreciate it!!
Most of the times I can tweak scripts here and there, but I don't really understand why it works or not. Creating something myself is out of my league. What I do is based on limited insight, and much trial and error. I don't have real knowledge and skills, which is annoying. I really should learn at least the basics of PHP... If only I had the time :-(
I will create some templates in the near future to give something back to the community. I have some designs from projects that didn't make it to the end, and some tryouts for myself. I can customize them into WSB templates.
By the way, your News script is in fact very useful, and I use it not only for posting news and events, but also as a FAQ. The FAQ Baker module is not very useful I think, because it's just a long list of entries. That's only useful if you have only a few questions. Your News module is perfectly usable for a FAQ that can grow larger over time. If you keep updating it, it will be a very powerful module indeed!
-
your welcome...
we all contribute to WB, you may send me your works, and maybe i can turn them into some templates :wink:
-
Well, I will create them myself because they are not generally usable yet. They refer to clients, aren't really finished yet, or dont have the proper quality.
But you can also take a look at [url removed becasue no longer in use] where I sell templates memberships. If you can pick a few (no, not all!) that you feel may be usable as a basis for WSB templates, please let me know and I'll send them to you. But only for use as WSB templates that will be published freely! And I want my name/website mentioned in the html source.
By the way, I did not create these templates myself. Half of them were created by someone for me exclusively, and the other half were made by someone who I have made a template swapping deal with.
Only this one I created myself: [url removed becasue no longer in use] which I will transform into a WSB templaet myself.
-
yeah i only :lol: publish templates freely... and i leave name in the credits.
I'll just mention you in the credits section
these templates
http://www.templateserver.com/index.php?action=detail&cat_id=17&image_id=108
http://www.templateserver.com/index.php?action=detail&cat_id=17&image_id=81
http://www.templateserver.com/index.php?action=detail&cat_id=17&image_id=80
these 3 a could make into templates, for general use...
-
PM'd you...
-
You can see it on http://www.bereikbaarheid.nl/cms
Do I see it correctly that you have written a Javascript menu that uses the WebsiteBaker page tree? If so, would you be willing to release it to the general public?

I wish I could do that :-)
No, it's just a seperate DHTML menu I included in the template. All links must be made manually. In this case that is okey, because the client doesn't need to create pages or change the structure of the site. Only modify existing pages. And if he needs to have other pages, he can create them, but I have to add them to the menu...
Too bad it isn't a dynamically created menu, ain't it? :-)
-
Yeah, too bad really.
I've had a look at your javascript code - quite confusing with all the numbers, spacers and what not.
To make an automatically maintained menu, it is necessary to have a way of writing the entries without any individual hacks. So say, I give you a menu structure:
Top1
---T1Sub1
---T1Sub2
Top2
---T2Sub1
---T2Sub2
can you (manually) make a nice-looking dhtml menu out of that without any further information, hacks, etc. No tweaking allowed!
If so, it's no problem to make the transition to a true WB dynamical menu. I've just not looked into dhtml menus at all, otherwise I would've done it already.

Yeah, I know the code looks terribly complicated, but it is generated by the program I use: http://www.sothink.com/webtools/dhtmlmenu/index.htm
Actually, it has the built-in option of creating menu's dynamically with PHP or other methods, but I am not a programmer so I don't really understand how I should do that :cry:
I like this software very much, I use it a lot. It's powerful and very user friendly, using a drop and drag, WYSIWYG way of creating menus. Rather cheap too: only 35 dollars. Maybe you could check it out...
-
Well, it's not a solution for a standard WB dynamical menu if it's not free, but still, thanks for the tip.
-
Ah! I didn't realize you were looking for a free script to include in WSB :-)
There are free dhtml menu available though, but I haven't tried them.
I've got http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ in my bookmarks. They have some I know. And Google knows some as well :-) http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=free+dhtml+menu&lr=
-
It's just that I don't have time to play around with it. Something is always the problem - either its compatibility or looks or whatever.
I was hoping you had found a good one that could be used. I would have just written the php part, which should be no big deal.
-
i also got one or two of those javascripts...
i'm fine tunning them...
-
Just a little update to the snippet...
If you want to put it into a Code section - you can, use this code below:
$group = 2; // Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 5;";
/*
This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10. The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results */
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';
}
It simply removes the <?php and ?> tags, and echos the link properly :)
-
thanks craig, but some level of understanding of WB is needed with the code snippets... :wink: (dont make to easie for them :P :twisted: :roll: )

What do you mean by that? :? I tried this code snippet, and it works allright.
-
What do you mean by that? :? I tried this code snippet, and it works allright.
In the code page they don't allow <? and ?>, so if you want to use it, you need to use the echo command, in stead of using a php break, and then adding html!

Hi. I'm trying to learn about using code snippets. Maybe you can help me with this: I inserted the code into the template and it worked, but the links it generates are missing the pages folder:
I get: http://www.sweetike.com/wbaker/wb/posts/albuquerque-here-we-come2.php
Not: http://www.sweetike.com/wbaker/wb/pages/posts/albuquerque-here-we-come2.php
Can you tell me what to insert into the code to correct this?
Thanks!
-
Just replace this
<a href="<?php echo WB_URL; ?><?php echo $link ?><?php echo PAGE_EXTENSION; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a>
With:
<a href="<?php echo WB_URL; ?>/pages/<?php echo $link ?><?php echo PAGE_EXTENSION; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a>

Hi
I am trying to use this snippet in my template I get a Parse Error for this line
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
and have no clue why.
To be truth full I dont have a clue what that line does either so hope someone out there can help me.
Thanks
Jonathan

if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
There are display codes in them, it is an old post, some leftovers from the forum migration.
Try the other one, posted by Craig.Rodway that one will work.
Happy Baking!

Hi all!
Now i tryed, to use, it, and i can get it to work, in the template (exept, when i press the link, it says, "the page can not be found"....
Then i tryed to use it on a page, as i want - but there i only get this message on the page
(title; $id = $data->post_id; $link = $data->link; echo '
'.$title.'
';}#125; ?> )
that what i can see on the page i put the code in....
this is the code i used:
<!-- NEWS READER -->
<?php
$group = 0; // Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,link
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts
WHERE group_id = $group
ORDER BY posted_when DESC
LIMIT 0, 5;"; // This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10.
// The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';}#125;
?>
<!-- END NEWS READER -->
how do i set the code correct onto a page?..... please help, someone :? :|
-
This is the code you need: you can place it in your template or you can place it in a code section
$group = 2; // Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 5;";
/*
This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10. The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results */
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';
}

hi again,
i must be missing something, because when i put it in the code page... nothing happens, the page is just empty??
is there a special way to put it in the code?
-
did you check the group?????
Make sure the group is the same you have, or it won't show anything ;)
John
-
hi agin.... thanks.... i set group to "0".... and it worked fine..... thank you......
now i just have to make it look like i want... thank you again.... if i want to change it, i should change in this same code, right?
i want it to show the "short" text under the title also.....
well... just 1. problem... it doesn´t find the pages.. it looks for a folder called post, put it inside the pages folder, but i don´t know where to set the /pages/ in the code?
-
change: echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';
to : echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';
or :echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.'pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';
don't have time to test ;)
John
-
Hi again.. and thanks...
this is the one that worked, thanks :-D
echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';
-
I've tweaked a little the code, but two questions:
1. how get i the short description under the title
2. how do i get an unsorted list from all the items?
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,page_id,link,short FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE page_id = $page_id ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 0, 5;";
/*
This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10. The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results */
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
echo "Last 5 news posts:"."<br>";
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$page = $data->page_id;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
$short = $data->short;
echo '* <a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></br>';
}
-
Fetch the stuff you need from the database
You need content_short (look at table mod_news_post) for all the fields
The <ul><li> ... </li></ul>, just add it to the output:
Something like this:
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,content_short, page_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE page_id = $page_id ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 0, 5;";
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
echo "Last 5 news posts:"."<br>";
echo "<ul>"; // start of the loop
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$page = $data->page_id;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
$short = $data->short_content;
echo '<li><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a>'.$short.'</li>'; // the loop
}
echo "</ul>"; // end of the loop
Didn't test it!

hi all!
i tryed to change the code a bit, and so far, so good!
BUT... i want it to show the pictures that are shown along the "short text too", but i cant fint the id, in the database, does anyone know where the pictures goes in the database.
This i my code for now:
$group = 0; // Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,short,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
/*
This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10. The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results */
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$short= $data->short;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
echo '<br />';
echo '<table width=100%>';
echo '<tr><td bgcolor=#e7e7e7><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>'.$short.'</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
Plesase any help wanted?
i know where to put it in the code,just can´t find it in the mysql database???
-
Doesn't seem to be in the database.
module/news/view.php reveals:
if(file_exists(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg')) {
$groups[$group_id]['image'] = WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg';
} else {
$groups[$group_id]['image'] = '';
}
So something like this might work (mind you , I had no time to test it!!)
$group = 0; // Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,short,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
/*
This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10. The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results */
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$short= $data->short;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
$group_id = $data->group_id;
if(file_exists(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg')) {
$picture = WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg';
} else {
$picture = '';
}
echo '<br />';
echo '<table width=100%>';
echo '<tr><td colspan=2 bgcolor=#e7e7e7><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>'.$picture.'</td><td>'.$short.'</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
You could change the $picture = ''; to a NoImage picture with:
$picture = WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECT ORY.'/.news/noimage.jpg';
Happy baking,
John

I noticed that a few posts back there was a post including code that didn't have a group id defined inside it, i tried this myself, and it displayed nothing. Not a sausage.
Is it possible to have the latest news stories globally over every category?
If so what do i alter?
-
Yes it is possible, rather easy,
take out the test on $group in the query
or take a look at this one:
http://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,1851.msg11398.html#msg11398
or try this one:
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 5;";
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';
}

Hi i haven´t got the image working yet, but i´m still trying to work on that!
for now i have used the snippet, with group=0
but now a have on page (sport) with four subpages (football, hockey, tennis, else)
How can i make the snippet work so it just shows these four subpages... how can i find what group they are, i can just find page_id, and thats different for every page???
-
Magic!
Cheers John.
-
@babsy,
This snippet only will show news posts
So if your posts are divided among those four pages testing for the pageid is the obvious thing to do.
global $database;
$get_page = 1; // change to your page_id you need
$query = "SELECT post_id, title,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE page_id=$get_page ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 5;";
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>';
}
The fields you can choose from are:
post_id, section_id, page_id, group_id, active, position,
title, link, content_short, content_long, commenting, posted_when, posted_by
phpmyadmin shows you that in a jiffy ;)
Happy baking,
John

Hi everyone, i´m still trying to get this picture to work... but i just can´t find the picture folder anywhere - does any off you know the path to the pictures in "short text" in the news, my code for now looks like this:
$group = 0; // Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,short,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
/*
This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10. The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results */
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$short= $data->short;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
$group_id = $data->group_id;
if(file_exists(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIREC TORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg')) {
$picture = WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECT ORY.'/.news/noimage.jpg';
} else {
$picture = '';
}
echo '<br />';
echo '<table width=100%>';
echo '<tr><td bgcolor=#e7e7e7><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>'.$picture.'</td><td>'.$short.'</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
But it just leaves an empty hole.... try take a look at this!
http://www.kjolurin.com

I see pictures on that page, looks like a bowling ally?
John
-
hi, and sorry
i forgot, i had set, the page to "hidden" now you should see it right!
www.kjolurin.com
-
Did you look at your source of that page?
<a href="http://www.kjolurin.com/pages//posts/rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr146.php">rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr</a></td></tr><tr><td></td><td><p><img height=\"73\" hspace=\"5\" src=\"/media/Image/bowla.jpg\" width=\"142\" align=\"left\" border=\"1\" /><img height=\"1\" src=\"/\"//\"/media/Image/bowla.jpg//\"/\"\" width=\"1\" border=\"0\" /><br /><img style=\"\"WIDTH: \" height=\"1\" src=\"/\"/media/Image/bowla.jpg/\"\" width=\"1\" border=\"0\" />Doesn't look all to good to me
The images should come from the /media/.news directory! Not from /media/Image ....
I searched the source of your page for /media/.news nothing found!
In your posted code, this bit:
if(file_exists(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg')) {
$picture = WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/noimage.jpg';
} else {
$picture = '';
}
If the picture exists, set picture to noimage.jpg or to nothing?
Maybe change to following:
if(file_exists(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg')) {
$picture = WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg';
} else {
$picture = '';
}
So if the picture exists it will get the url to the picture.
PS, The pictures for groups needs to be upoloaded first!
admin -> pages -> the page with news -> add groups (or modify group)-> image!!!!!!!!!
John
-
hi and thanks... ill try this tomorrow when i´ll get back to work
but why does the sorce look like that?? and you said "Doesn't look all to good to me"
can i change it, so it looks more "normal"?
-
all the " are addslashed, ie, there are too many \ (backslashes)
<img height=\"73\" hspace=\"5\" should be
<img height="73" hspace="5" in html
John
-
hi John
please could you explain what you mean by this
"PS, The pictures for groups needs to be upoloaded first!
admin -> pages -> the page with news -> add groups (or modify group)-> image!!!"
When i have set pictures in, yet, i´ve just been putting them next to the text in both short and long text!
-
This snippet will only show the group pictures, not the wysiyg added pictures.
-
hi again..
the group picture is´nt working, i can´t choose any picture, without getting an error!
but it is the wysiwig picture i wanted to show, but i thats impossible :|
but thanks for your help
-
HI, i think you mean, that you wanna show the wysiwyg images also in the function where you get the last items and display it anywhere. I always had the problem, that the path from my images was wrong.
The plan was, to open the last newsitem in the "long" version and display the older news on the bottom. I used the following code:
--------- insert in a code page ----------
// Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from or 0 for all groups
$group = 0;
// Specify number of newsitems
$limit=10;
// Specify read more text
$readmore = "Weiterlesen";
// Specify Older news text
$oldernews = "Older news";
// Query for all groups ;)
if ($group<1 ) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
}
// No changes needed here, maybe for output!
global $database;
$result = $database->query($query);
$total = $result->numRows(); // how many items are there?
if ($total>1) { // x
$data = $result->fetchRow() ; // get news item
$long=stripslashes($data['long']); //clear up the images path
echo '<table width=100%>';
echo '<tr><td width=100%><h1>'.$data['title'].'</h1></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>'.$long.'</td></tr>'; //view the long-version of the news
echo '<tr><td></td><td></td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
// Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from or 0 for all groups
$group = 0;
// Specify number of newsitems
$limit=0;
// Specify read more text
$readmore = "Artikel lesen";
// Specify Older news text
$oldernews = "weitere Einträge";
// Query for obtaining stuff from a group
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group and active = 1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
// Query for all groups ;)
if ($group<1 ) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 1, 10;";
}
// No changes needed here, maybe for output!
global $database;
$result = $database->query($query);
$total = $result->numRows(); // how many items are there?
if ($total>1) { // at least 2 needed for 2 news items
$data2 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data3 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data4 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data5 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data6 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data7 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data8 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data9 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data10 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
echo '<table class="newsoverview" width=100%>';
echo '<tr><td width="100%"><b>weitere News</b></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td width=100%><li><a href='.WB_URL.PAGES_DIREC TORY.$data2['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'>'.$data2['title'].'</a></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td width=100%><li><a href='.WB_URL.PAGES_DIREC TORY.$data3['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'>'.$data3['title'].'</a></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td width=100%><li><a href="'.WB_URL.PAGES_DIREC TORY.$data4['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$data4['title'].'</a></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td width=100%><li><a href="'.WB_URL.PAGES_DIREC TORY.$data5['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$data5['title'].'</a></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td width=100%><li><a href="'.WB_URL.PAGES_DIREC TORY.$data6['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$data6['title'].'</a></td></tr>';

Hi,
everything works perfect but I'm not a php coder and I have a little problem about how to impelement this...
I want to display news from mostly every news groups without one group on the other subpage.
How to put it in code?
thanks for helping,
Ewa

I've modified this code for my needs. You can specify the columns, last post limit, "active or not" from that pages "news settings" in the administration panel of wb without changing anything in the code. You must only specify the page_id of news page. This code is available with a "modified a lot" version of wb :). Some of the variables may not be available with standart (not much modified) versions. But maybe you can make available by modifying or deleting some codes. For example my link creation codes are different so I use only ".$link." in the "href"s. But the standart link code is ".WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION."
Place this code in your template file where you want to display the latest news:
<table width="100%" height="0%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<?php
define('yenisatir', '</tr><tr>'); // yenisatir means new row
global $database;
$get_page = 4; // insert page_id here
$query_settings = $database->query("SELECT posts_per_page FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_settings WHERE page_id=$get_page");
$fetch_settings = $query_settings->fetchRow();
$latest = $fetch_settings['posts_per_page']; // this calls the standard wb's post per page setting. So you can change latest news quantity by only changing your post per page setting. So, the quantities of post per page and latest news will be same.
$query = "SELECT ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts.post_id,".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts.short,".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts.title,".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts.link,".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_settings.num_cols FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts,".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_settings WHERE ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts.page_id=$get_page AND ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts.active=1 AND ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_settings.page_id=$get_page ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, $latest;";
// If you want to make different the quantities of post per page and latest news, replace "$latest" with a number above to specify the latest news quantity
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
$counter = 0;
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
$title = $data->title;
$short = $data->short;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
$num_cols = $data->num_cols;
echo stripslashes('<td class="haber" align="left" valign="top"><div style="padding-bottom: 1px; font-weight: bold;" ><b><a href="'.$link.'">'.$title.'</a></b></div>'.$short.'</td>'); // If you didn't modified your WB to work with "safe mode on" (in other words if you are using default WB), replace .link. with .WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.
$counter = $counter+1;
if($counter == $num_cols) // I've added a column setting in my news module similiar to gallery module's column setting. I can specify my column quantity from news' settings and latest news gets the number from there. If you didn't add (in other words if you are using default WB) replace $num_cols with a number to specify a column quantity
{
echo yenisatir;
$counter = 0;
}
}
?>
</tr></table>
good luck...

hi... i know this is a long time, since this subject was in use!
but i just can´t get it to work right!
i use this code.. in my template:
___________________ _______________
<?php
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 5;";
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
echo '<font class="nyttlink"><a href="'.WB_URL.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</font><br /><br /></a>';
}
?>___________________ _________________
it works.. fine, until... when i press on the news... displayed.. it just says this:
[an error occurred while processing this directive] The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
anyone know why :?
-
I just tested the exact script, works fine here.
Have a look into my Templates "Snakeskin", Metalslabs" and "Molten Lava", they have this functionality implemented.
Maybe as a test, install them and try if they do work, just to make shure, that it's not a server issue.
Also try with a simple testpost (simple name like "test") to see if this works.
cheers
Klaus
-
thx... so far so good!!
but, i think i have another problems, but its not in the code i think!
because.... check it out http://klaknav.sudurras.com
now the code works... and the news.... exept when i press on read more...
the top header of my template goes away :?
really weird!...
-
but that is the template ... cause the URL:
http://klaknav.sudurras.com/pages/templates/round/top1_2.jpg
can not work.
Rework your template (have a look at the tutorial in the WIKI for the template path).
cheers
Klaus
-
thanks..... i will... :-)
UPDATE:... works like a charm now! :-D so thx again!!
but i could´nt find the exact image path in the template tutorial!??
but i just downoaded another template and took it from there, (don´t know why i didn´t think of that right away :| )
so if anyone else (well a newbie i guess :-D) is looking, this was it:
<td><img src="<?php echo TEMPLATE_DIR; ?>/top1_2.jpg" alt="" height="30" width="700" border="0" /></td>
so thanks again...
now everythink is working.. so far so good..
actually i would love to build some template for wb, now i think i can start on that :wink:
-
Some one made me this piece of code also some time ago. Maybe it is usefull for anyone here. I have translated some things into dutch, but to edit it, that should be real easy. You can enter the max of news items to show and from what group or just all the news groups.
As i said IT IS NOT MADE BY ME! I respect this work and just want to share it with you. Some one posted it already some time for me, can't remember if it was by mail or here.
Example --> www.cavaliershelden.nl (http://www.cavaliershelden.nl)
// Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from or 0 for all groups
$group = 2;
// Specify number of newsitems
$limit=4;
// Specify read more text
$readmore = "Lees Verder";
// Specify Older news text
$oldernews = "Oude items";
// Query for obtaining stuff from a group
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group and active = 1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
// Query for all groups ;)
if ($group<1 ) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
}
// No changes needed here, maybe for output!
global $database;
$result = $database->query($query);
$total = $result->numRows(); // how many items are there?
if ($total>1) { // at least 2 needed for 2 news items
$data = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data2 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get right item
echo '<table width=100% border=0>';
echo '<tr><td width=50%><b>'.$data['title'].'</b></td><td></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>'.$data['content_short'].'</td><td></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td><a href="'.WB_URL.PAGES_DIRECTORY.$data['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$readmore.'</a></td><td></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td width=50%><b>'.$data2['title'].'</b></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td>'.$data2['content_short'].'</td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td><a href="'.WB_URL.PAGES_DIRECTORY.$data2['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$readmore.'</a></td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
// Next show the rest
if ($total>2) { // are there any left?
echo '<br><br><table><tr><td colspan=2><b>'.$oldernews.'</b></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>Datum</td><td>Onderwerp</td></tr>';
while ($data = $result->fetchRow()) {
echo '<tr><td>'.strftime( "%d-%m-%Y",$data['posted_when']).'</td>';
echo '<td><a href="'.WB_URL.PAGES_DIRECTORY.$data['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$data['title'].'</a></td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
}
This can be used in a CODE section on a page.

I'm really new to WB, and I've tried to follow this thread and implement it, but so far with no luck.
Earlier in this thread sowmone refers to the template Wiki, where is it? I don't know how to insert code into a template (I tried, but didn't get very far), will I find this on the Wiki?
When it comes to code(ing) I'm very, very, very noob.
beeswax
-
the wiki can be found here (link goes to the english page): http://projects.WebsiteBaker.org/websitebaker2/wiki/Docs-EN
To get this code going, create a page of type "code" and paste the code into this page. You will need to have a page of type "news", with some news-articles, otherwise this code has nothing to display.
cheers
Klaus

Happy New Year.
I've pasted the code into a Code page, and it works, but what I'd like to do is to have the News "Headlines" in the sidebar, and when they click on "Read More" the detailed news opens in the Main page. I've looked at modify_settings.php (if that's where I should be looking) in the News module but I'm afraid that I can't make too much sense of it.
At the moment I'm working on the site "locally" so I can't give anyone a preview.
thanks, in advance
-
have a look at the templates "Gray Snake (http://w007be2b.dd15712.kasserver.com/pages/templates.php?template=gray-snake)" and "Metal Slabs (http://w007be2b.dd15712.kasserver.com/pages/templates.php?template=metal-slabs)" (the links are temporary links to the add-on pages! They will change!)
They have included, what you want to achieve.
cheers
Klaus
-
I've downloaded MetalSlabs and installed it, and the News sections work how I want them to. I've gone into page settings and written down the settings as they appear in MetalSlabs so that I can change the template to Andreas02 and make sure the page settings are the same (the only difference being that instead of "Left Column", Andreas02 has "Sidebar"), and that's when it all falls apart for me. I really am at a loss as to what to do next :|
-
Have a look at the template sourcecode. There you can see, how it is implemented. You then take the script part and paste it into the template you want to use it ...
In the Andreas02 Template the code comes in like this here:
<div id="sidelink">
</div>
</p>
<-- Login Box start -->
<form name="login" action="http://w007be2b.dd15712.kasserver.com/account/login.php" method="post" class="login_table">
<h2>Login</h2>
Username:
<input type="text" name="username" style="text-transform: lowercase;" />
Password:
<input type="password" name="password" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" style="margin-top: 3px; text-transform: uppercase;" />
<a href="http://w007be2b.dd15712.kasserver.com/account/forgot.php">Forgot Details?</a>
</form>
<-- Login Box End -->
<--News Box start -->
<?php
// Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from or 0 for all groups
$group = 0;
// Specify number of newsitems
$limit=10;
// Specify read more text
$readmore = "Read more";
// Specify news text
$news = "Latest News";
// Query for obtaining stuff from a group
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group and active = 1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
// Query for all groups ;)
if ($group<1 ) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 10;";
}
// No changes needed here, maybe for output!
global $database;
$result = $database->query($query);
$total = $result->numRows(); // how many items are there?
if ($total>1) { // at least 2 needed for 2 news items
$data = $result->fetchRow() ; // get left item
$data2 = $result->fetchRow() ; // get right item
echo '<span style="font-size: 14px; color: #fff; display: block; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid;">'.$news.'</span>';
echo '<p style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; color: #fff;">'.$data['title'].'</p><p style="font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; color: #fff;">'.$data['content_short'].'<br /><a href="'.WB_URL.PAGES_DIRECTORY.$data['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$readmore.'</a></p>';
echo '<p style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; color: #fff;">'.$data2['title'].'</p><p style="font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; color: #fff;">'.$data2['content_short'].'<br /><a href="'.WB_URL.PAGES_DIRECTORY.$data2['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$readmore.'</a></p>';
}
else {
echo '<span style="font-size: 14px; display: block; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid;">No News yet ...</span>';
}
?>
<-- News Box ends -->
</div>
Then you just change the styles to what you need (all the styles used in this script are direct formatting).
cheers

I have been trying to modify this code to use with the events module, inserted into a Code section.
The code I'm using is :
global $database;
$query = "SELECT date,event_desc FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."2006mod_event_dates ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 0, 5;";
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->event_desc;
echo '<p><a href="">'.$title.'</a></p>';
}
and I get an error message :
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/fhlinux190/d/deveron-arts.com/user/htdocs/wb/modules/code/view.php(30) : eval()'d code on line 13
Is this code OK? or how can I change it to work?
Regards,
Mike Davies

I think you just forgot 2 closing semicolons behind the brackets: "};" but I might be wrong there since I am no real coder.

Hello,
Matthias (ruebenwurzel) asked me, if I could create a snippet module of the display news items anywhere code posted in that thread. Well here my first version.
Installation
- download the attached zip file to your computer
- log into the backend of WB and install the module as usual
Using the snippet function
Once the module is installed, it can be invoked either from the index.php file of your template or from any code module section.
<?php display_news_items(); ?>
For a more customised output, you can pass over serveral parameters to the function explained below.
<?php display_news_items($group_id, $max_news_items, $max_news_length,
$header_text, $readmore_text, $no_news_text); ?>
Optional parameters (default values stated as well):
group_id... group from which you want to read news from (default:= 0 for all groups)
max_news_items... max. number of news shown (default:= 10, values>10 will be lowerd to 10)
max_news_length... max. length of the short news text shown (default:=150)
header_text... heading text shown (default:="Latest news")
readmore_text... text displayed for readmore link (default:=read more)
no_news_text... text shown if no news available (default:="no news avaialbe yet...")
Have fun.
Regards Christian
Removed file. Any news is now available in the section Additional Functions on addons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules.php)

Thank you for that. Nice contribution.
But shouldn't this go into "completed code snippets"?
-
kweitzel - I tried adding the ;s but it didn't work. i think they were in the right place. It stopped all the page after the code block from loading.
Thanks anyway.
Mike

@YeShakka
I am thinking to implement a feature which let you control how the news will be displayed.
Possible options:
- display as list (only news header and read more link)
- display as table (allow choice of columns to be used)
In addition I want some feedback first, before moving that snippet to the completed section.
Regards Christian
-
Hello,
I install and tested the "display news items modul" without any problems. It will be nice to show also the short-text of the news.
Thanks to Christian for his good work.
Regards Hermann
-
Hello,
please find attached the updated version of the anynews snippet module. To upgrade, just install it over the previous one.
Have added the additional parameter $display_mode which allows you to output a detailed list (news title, short text, link to news item), or a simple unsorted list (link to news item, link text = news title). In addition I added the option to display the full short text ($max_news_length=-1, which is now the default) or no short text at all ($max_news_length=0). The latest version creates now valid (X)HTML output (forgot the closing slash in the <hr /> element).
<?php display_news_items($group_id, $max_news_items, $max_news_length,
$display_mode, $header_text, $readmore_text, $no_news_text); ?>
Optional parameters:
group_id... group from which you want to read news from (default:= 0 for all groups)
max_news_items... max number of news shown (default:= 10, no value >10 accepted)
max_news_length... max length of the short news text shown (default:=-1 for full news length)
display_mode... 1:=details (default); 2:=unsorted list
header_text... heading text shown (default:="Latest news")
readmore_text... text displayed for readmore link (default:=read more)
no_news_text... text shown if no news available (default:="no news avaialbe yet...")
[Edited 18.2.07, 22:38]
Example for customised call:
display_news_items(0, 5, 50, 2, "The latest news", "show full news text", "uup, no news available");
Troubleshooting:
- pass over either no argument, or all arguments in expected order
- mask text with "your text " or 'your text '
- within your template index.php file use: <?php display_news_items(); ?>
- within a code module use: display_news_items();
- remind the ; at the end of the code line
Custom formating:
The output can be customized to your needs without touching the code itself. This is realised by the use of CSS definitions. Open a code page and enter the following code:
echo "<div id=\"mynews\">";
display_news_items(0, 3, 15, 1, "Last news", "more...", "no news yet");
echo "</div>";
The additional div section is used to restrict the style defintions to the news only, without influencing the rest of your layout. The following CSS examples needs to be added to the CSS file of your template.
The font size of the news text is too big?
#mynews p {font-size:80%; }
You want the news title to show up in brown?
#mynews strong {color:brown; }
The news header should have a left brown border?
#mynews h2 {border:1px dotted brown; margin:5px; padding:0;}
Please keep in mind: I will not aks any questions on CSS formating.
A lot of pages are available for free in the internet. http://www.css4you.de/, http://glish.com/css/

Hi Doc
thanks!
One problem though: when adding a space in $header_text or $readmore_txt I get this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/dernjen/public_html/modules/code/view.php(30) : eval()'d code on line 1
(I replaced $header_text and $readmore_txt with normal text (Dutch: Lees meer = English: Read more), maybe I have it the wrong way? When I replace it with one word or two with an underscore I get no errormessage (although the underscore is visible in the link).

Hello Hans,
you need to pass over text in " " or ' ' like shown below:
display_news_items(0, 10, -1, 1, "Test test", "test tesset", " no test");
display_news_items(0, 10, -1, 1, 'Test test', 'test tesset', ' no test');
Have tested this and it works. If you forget the " ", the number of arguments will not fit the expected number.
Regards Christian
-
Yes! That worked.
Thank you!
Hans
-
Hello,
works very well.
I have small pictures in the short text news!. It is possible to show these also?
Have a look: http://www.frettchen.raith.ws/pages/news.php (http://www.frettchen.raith.ws/pages/news.php)
Thank you!
Hermann
-
Hello Hermann,
not possible with the latest version, as I am using the PHP command strip_tags() to remove all HTML tags from the short text. So in your case, image tags like <img> will be striped from the short news text.
Try to remark the strip_tags command for short news text in line 83 in anynews/include.php
//$data['content_short'] = strip_tags($data['content_short']);
Regards Christian
-
Hello Christian,
that worked fine. Thank you! http://www.frettchen.raith.ws/ (http://www.frettchen.raith.ws/)
Perhaps you can make a parameter in the next version.
Regards Hermann
-
Have added the option to suppress striping off tags from news title, and short news text. In addition I removed all inline CSS styles, as they can´b be overwritten via external CSS definitions.
Added a README file to the zip file in the addons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules.php) which explains all possible functions.
Regards Christian
-
Hello Christian,
I tested it, very good job!
Thank you. http://www.frettchen.raith.ws/ (http://www.frettchen.raith.ws/)

Is it possible to show 2 newsitems on the frontpage from 2 different news pages. In the module i can not find a page ID. Or is there some other way to do this.
NEWSPAGE 1
item A
item B
item C
NEWSPAGE 2
item X
item Y
item Z
On the frontpage I want to show
LATEST
item A
and
item X
-
you can only (with the default setup) generate the different groups. Otherwise you will need to change the script, so it checkes the page_id as reference for the postings ...
cheers

@G4
You could try the following workaround:
Put all news items of Newspage 1 into a group (e.g. news1), all news items of Newspage 2 into another group (e.g. news2). Assuming that group news1 has the number 5, news2 the number 6, try the following code:
display_news_items(5, 1, -1, 1, "Latest News", "read more", "no news available yet...", true);
display_news_items(6, 1, -1, 1, "Latest News", "read more", "no news available yet...", true);

hello everyone,
i tried the snipped a while back and i love it :-)
but there is one thing, that's not working properly. let's say you've got a WB-link inside the short-text area.
this WB-link does not get "translated" to the real URL.
it says "www.mydomain.com/pages/[wblink2]" or something like this.
is this fixed already?
thanks guys

@Olli:
I dont think that this is related to the anynews snippet, but to the news module itself.
Regards Christian

Hello.
Module anynews works perfect. I dont have experience with php and I need two things to get work this module correctly. Both thing with multilingual site.
First is: I want show texts Lastest News and Read More at language file, to make finnish or russian page fully finnish or russian. I tried replace it with [READ_MORE] but it dont work.
Second is: I have made multilingual site with tree what was explained on multilingual site wiki. It is right now this:
fin
- page1
- page2
- news (news on finnish language)
eng
- page1
- page2
- news (news on english)
rus
- page1
- page2
- news (news on russian)
How to make possible show with anynews module on russian page news on russian language and etc (same with other languges)?
-
Hello,
a few days ago a read a post where a user solved this with adding the language variable to the requests. Cannot find the thread, but maybe you have mor luck when you search yourself :wink:
Matthias
-
Hello,
the code below assumes that you have sticked to the tutorial for multi language pages (http://projects.WebsiteBaker.org/websitebaker2/wiki/Docs-EN-Multilingual-Website). Languages specific pages must be stored in directories like:
DE: ../wb/de/home.php
EN: ../wb/en/home.php
Add the following code (without start <?php and ending ?> tags) into a page of the type code.
<?php
// getting the calling page URL (../webserver/en/home.php)
$current_page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
// using regular expression to extract the language part from the URL (/en/, /ge/, /it/...)
$language_used = "";
if(preg_match('#/(..)/#i', $current_page, $language)) {
$language_used = $language[1];
}
// define text output depending on choosen language
switch ($language_used) {
case "DE": // german language
$news_header = "Letzte Nachrichten";
$news_more = "mehr...";
$news_no = "keine Nachrichten vorhanden...";
break;
case "EN": // english language
$news_header = "Latest News";
$news_more = "read more";
$news_no = "no news available yet...";
break;
default: // if LANGUAGE could not be detected
$news_header = "Your heading text";
$news_more = "Your more text";
$news_no = "your no new text";
break;
}
// call the anynews snippet
display_news_items(0, 10, -1, 1, $news_header, $news_more, $news_no, true);
?>
If someone knows a better way of extracting the page language, please post it here.

Hi, just wondering if there was an easy way to eliminate the <hr> that is displayed at the end of each snippet, instead having just a blank space. CSS can make the <hr> small, but can't eliminate it completely.
-
Hello,
set the visibility of HR to none or set the color of HR to your background color or remove the HR from the code in include.php.
Regards Christian
-
Hey - works well,
I need it for like an online daily diary..
Anyway to include the date the item was posted with anynews?
Cheers
Darren
-
Hello,
this is not supported, but you can implement that function by your own.
You need to modify the include.php of the anynews snippet. The output is generated between lines 92 and 121. The following code would extract the date from the database and convert it into human readable format (English style). Only place it within the while loop (lines 92-121).
echo date("m/d/Y", $data[posted_when]);
To style the output format of the date, have a look to the PHP function code (google) :-)
Regards Christian
-
Hey
That's great - nice solution
Cheers
Darren

Hello need some help here
The snippet only work when I put the group id to 0 , other than that its not working at all
Where can I get my group_id ?
-
did you define groups in the newmodule? If yes, you can find the group ID by editing the group. Then it is shown in the URL of the page.
cheers

Hello,
I hope I don't sound presumptuous, and I admit in advance that I haven't read this thread completely in detail. But I have taken kweitzel's code from the metal-slabs template and changed it a little to my needs.
You can find the changed code as well as a short description of what I did at my wiki: http://www.rot65.de/dokuwiki/doku.php/cms/WebsiteBaker/debug
Kind regards,
Ayshe
-
My german is worse than Google's :-)
It looks interesting, but what exactly did you do? Cleanup of the CSS and using styles instead of something else?
-
Hi,
the changes are quite minor but might be interesting for one or another in the forum, thus I posted them.
These are the changes in detail:
- The line "Latest News" above the teasers is not displayed anymore
- If no news are available the list is simply empty without showing the line "No News Yet"
- All inline css is discarted, css is left to everyone individually
- Teasers were displayed each as a paragraph; now they are displayed as list items in an unordered list
- The original script has the teaser title in one row and in the next row the link to the news; in my version the teaser title is the link to the news at the same time; this results in one line of linked text instead of two lines of text, one linked and the other not.
So, what you get with this version is a very minimalistic list of linked teasers. The styling is completely left to you and your own CSS.
Best regards,
Ayshe
-
Thanks Ayshe! This is a good, I was thinking about doing several of the same things.
If you have a chance to answer, a couple more questions:
- looks like you've removed even the classes, correct? so it will validate now and we can either use the content block's default <ul> style or add a news specific <div> to the template and add <ul> to the css then
- do you know off-hand if the result of having no news is completely empty? i.e. If I capture the module output to a string, there is a null string if there is no news. That's great if so, we can make appropriate alterations (either "nothing at the moment" or change the layout. (someone smart posted code for that recently, I forget what it was related to).
If not, don't worry, it will be tested anyway :)
I want to figure out how to get something the blog-style archive by date division going now...
-
If you use news on different pages without groups, you can display newsitems with anynews-snippet by using the "section_id" instead of "group_id".
To sort news by section_id, open the "include.php" in the anynews-snippet and replace all "group_id" with "section_id".
-
- looks like you've removed even the classes, correct? so it will validate now and we can either use the content block's default <ul> style or add a news specific <div> to the template and add <ul> to the css then
Yeah, that's the case. I removed the inside css to give maximum css flexibility and improve validation.
You can use whatever markup you like and style it with your own external css.
- do you know off-hand if the result of having no news is completely empty? i.e. If I capture the module output to a string, there is a null string if there is no news. That's great if so, we can make appropriate alterations (either "nothing at the moment" or change the layout. (someone smart posted code for that recently, I forget what it was related to).

I want to figure out how to get something the blog-style archive by date division going now...
I know what you mean, but right now can't answer your question since I can't access my code at the moment. But anyway, it should be easy to find out by yourself, just look into the code.

Hi,
Is it possible to add News to a WYSIWYG page?
I need news headlines + teasertext on my frontpage, not in the template file.
Thanks!
-
Sure,
a code snippet works in both, templates (index.php) and a page/section of type code. As WB allows to mix sections of different type (e.g. a WYSIWYG section, than a code section, than another WYSIWYG section on one page), you can achieve what you want (I guess).
If you want to learn more about sections, have a look on the WB help site.
Regards Christian
-
Thanks Christian!
It would work perfectly if only the WYSIWYG editor didn't add closing </div> tags to my code! Any way to prevent it from doing so?
Or I could add div tags in the code section, but how?
How would <div class="news"> be written in the code section?
-
Hello,
the Help webiste provides a links to the PHP site which shows all the functions available in PHP.
So go to the Help website, switch to section Bookmarks and search for the PHP functions site.
Simply search for the PHP command echo which does what you want. The PHP site also provides examples of how to use the functions. Simply give it a try.
Regards Christian
-
Hello,
@JonH
When you talk about code section what did you mean?
The source code window of the WYSIWYG Editor or a secttion with using the page typ code?
As this are two totally different places also the handling is different.
From your post i mean you use the source code of the WYSIWYG Editor, the explanations doc gave you are meant for a section with page typ code.
The call of the news snippet is thought for to place in index.php of template or in a section with page type code not in the source code window of the WYSIWYG Editor.
Matthias
-
With code section i mean a code section under a wysiwyg page, not the code view <>.
My frontpage has sections:
WYSIWYG
CODE
WYSIWYG
And I need the news snippet to be placed inside a div, which starts in the upper WYSIWYG section and ends in the bottin WYSYWYG section. I'll have a look at the help docs.
-
this should work (without starting and ending PHP tags)
<?php
echo '<div class="news">';
display_news_items();
echo '</div>';
?>

Thanks! it works like i planed :)

Hi ....
i have just uploaded and used the any news module... and it works fine :) ...
i just hava one minor question.... when i add a new post to one of my news pages (i use 3 different news pages).. .it does not always show up on top (actually it shows up at the bottom???? :? :? (in the show news anywhere page)! i want the latest (sorted after time) to be on top.. i have looked through the readme... but i cant seem to find it??
-
i know i have asked for this in another forum.. but that was a loooong forum, so maybe you didn´t see it!
i am using the anynews module... and it is working fine.... exept one thing!!!!
i just can´t figure out why the newest news don´t show up at the top???? :?
i have 7 news pages.. and they all show up in the anynews page, but they show up.. random... ??
anyone know why!:
here is the page: http://www.vagaportal.com/
the anynews are in the first top page "forsíða",
[Edit]Merged to the orgiginal thread. Please do not start several threads for one and the same thing. Module and Code snippets should be discussed in the module/code snippte thread. It makes it not easier to keep track of the problems nor you will get faster answers. (doc)

I bet your problem is the MySQL Statement ... it says "order by Position" while you want to have it ordered by the timestamp ...
You'll need to rewrite the file include.php lines 70 and 72 so that the SQL statement includes:
ORDER BY posted_when
not tested though!

thank you, thank you.... .thank you.. you just saved my day.... :-D :-D :-D
that was it...... sorry, i dont´know this coding part to well, yet... but im learning.. .thanks.. again :)

just another question that i could´nt find the answer to in this thread!
if i have 4 groups in my news (group id_1 and Group id_2 and Group id_3 and group id_4)
and i just want to show group 1, 2 and 4 in my anynews!??
is that possible?? and how to i set up the groups... it looks like this right now:
echo "<div id=\"mynews\">";
display_news_items(0, 10, 50, 1, "Seinastu tíðindi", "Les meira", "Ongin nýggj tiðindi í løtuni", false);
echo "</div>";
i have tried:
echo "<div id=\"mynews\">";
display_news_items(3-4, 10, 50, 1, "Seinastu tíðindi", "Les meira", "Ongin nýggj tiðindi í løtuni", false);
echo "</div>";
but it still shows all groups!! is this even possible :)?
-
Well, according to the initial posting of the snippet, the parameters are:
Optional parameters (default values stated as well):
group_id... group from which you want to read news from (default:= 0 for all groups)
max_news_items... max. number of news shown (default:= 10, values>10 will be lowerd to 10)
max_news_length... max. length of the short news text shown (default:=150)
header_text... heading text shown (default:="Latest news")
readmore_text... text displayed for readmore link (default:=read more)
no_news_text... text shown if no news available (default:="no news avaialbe yet...")
The easy way then would be if you just do:
echo "<div id=\"mynews\">";
display_news_items(1, 10, 50, 0);
display_news_items(2, 10, 50, 0);
display_news_items(4, 10, 50, 0);
echo "</div>";
Note that each group will be separately listed and they won't all be mixed together by date.
If you dig into the PHP & SQL code, you can find where the variable is read and you could hard-code multiple values if you really want everything co-mingled.
-
Hi again, and thanks for the answer, but i really need them do be ordered by date, so thats not a possibility... well. maybe i could have someone dig in to the php mysql for me :) im unfortunatly not to great with codes.. ... but i´ll write it here if i come up with a solution!
-
well, so far no news. im looking for at programmer to try this for me! about the groups!! so it can show all groups exept 1.. and then the 1 will show up in another side of the page...
but i have one question that you maybe know, if the picture in the short text is to high, the articles "overlap" eachother, does any one know why??? or where i can fix this. i have been looking through the code and changed some minor things like the read more is gone now.. and the title is the link.. and that worked fine....but i can´t figure out this image in the short text??
:? it looks like this:
www.vagaportal.com
-
well.. i just asked my clients to use "enter" until the line is under the image.... hmm.. so it works... i have one more question.. about this... that the value 10....
i have tried to make the value 15... is that not possible.. it stills shows 10 news.. not 15 ?? why and can i change that.. ? :?
-

When I try to use the News snipet and save, I get the following:
Not Implemented
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because a header value in the request does not match certain configuration settings on the Web server.
This message also raises it ugly head at other times. Any clues what is going on here???
ps: this is an error 501
-
You didn't provide very much information. Are you using the snippet in a template or in a code section?
A 501 is "Not Implemented"...could it be that you are trying to use a service not supported by your host? You say that you get a 501 at other times...what other times?

i have just installed it on an old webpage i had, but when i install it, it just says, "update successful" but it doesn´t show up when i look through my modules?? then i went in to my ftp to just delete it... but it wont allow me to delete, and i can´t un-install it, because it doesn´t show up on my add-ons list :? any ideas?

Hi ...
it works fine.. i have updatet wb...
Its a great module... :-D
but its still bugging me that the "line" under the text is overlapping if i have a picture in the small text.... the line "jumbs around"..... and it doesn´t look nice.... and the only solution i can figure out it so "enter" until it looks nice, but thats not a very smart solution... so :?
i have tried to change it, but no luck, so if anyone has a solution, please post it here!! :?

I've used news anywhere several times, but I need to use it for a specific layout which includes the "published date", "news title" and "display name". Can someone please help me?... I've spent most of the past few days trying to make it work. I did find the post showing how to add the date, and was able to change it to show the published date, but when I add multiple news items, the dates don't display correctly.
Here's an example of what I'm looking for:
02.12.2008 - Name of Article - Author's Display Name
02.11.2008 - News Title Here - Author's Display Name

The anynews snipet was not written for this functionality (checking the on and off times). it will need to be rewritten for that purpose.

The snippet allows you to customize the output any way you want on any page you want. It's simply a tool to extract fields from the news table. In order to be 'aware' of the start/end date you will need to customize the output to do this (just like someone may want to ignore the start/end date). Simply modify the query to only extract those records that fit your criteria and then display whichever fields you want in whatever way you want.

Just read the code, play with it. Refine it, restyle it.
Have fun..

ORDER BY posted_when DESC
LIMIT 0, 5;"; // This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10.
// The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results

Hello,
where did you wanna remove it?
In the news modul itself? look at the options of the news modul
or in the any news snippet? look at include.php in modules/anynews directory
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I use the anynews snippet for use on the homepage. I already checked the include.php but could not find where to change it. :x
It's not that I completely want to remove the read more on the homepage, only when there's no long text written.
But I noticed just a few seconds away that you cannot click the text to go to the news function on the newspage itself. Only if there's a read more link.
So I adviced the client to use the short as the long text as well. Problem solved. Thnq for taking the time to respond.

with the new news module i can put an start date an end dat to the news.
the problem is that anynews wil show it anyway.

I can be done quite easily. You just have to edit modules/anynews/include.php
// query to obtain news items for the selected group
if ($group_id < 1) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX ."mod_news_posts WHERE active=1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, $max_news_items;";
} else {
$query = "SELECT * FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX ."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id=$group_id AND active=1 ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, $max_news_items;";
}
must be changed to
// query to obtain news items for the selected group
$t = time();
if ($group_id < 1) {
$query = "SELECT * FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX ."mod_news_posts WHERE active=1 AND (published_when = '0' OR published_when <= $t) AND (published_until = 0 OR published_until >= $t) ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, $max_news_items;";
} else {
$query = "SELECT * FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX ."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id=$group_id AND active=1 AND (published_when = '0' OR published_when <= $t) AND (published_until = 0 OR published_until >= $t) ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, $max_news_items;";

Hi,

According to a Readme file you should use the following function:
display_news_items($group_id, $max_news_items, $max_news_length, $display_mode,
$header_text, $readmore_text, $no_news_text, $strip_tags);
Example for customized call:
<?php display_news_items(0, 5, 50, 2, "The latest news", "show full news text", "uups, no news available", false); ?>
So just use empty string instead of "show full news text":
<?php display_news_items(0, 5, 50, 2, "The latest news", "", "uups, no news available", false); ?>

hello everybody,
i just read through the whole thread again but i don't know where to look for for a solution.
just to get a basic understanding what is needed: is the anynews module able to display <img>-tags properly that were inserted inside a news entry? right now all img tags and paths are destroyed when using anynews and i don't know why...
it does not matter if i turn stripping tags on or off... the img path is always broken/not there...
the path looks something like
http://local...%3c/p%3E%3Cp%3E%3Ca%20href=
can someone lend a helping hand? :-)
greetings
-
The module is intended to be customized to meet your needs. By default, the 'content_short' field is displayed after it is stripped of tags (including IMG tags) but this can be changed so that they are not stripped. It sounds like you've done that. The script should then output whatever is stored in your database. Have you checked your database to see what is stored for your news postings?
It may be an encoding issue such as the database and your web page being encoded differently.
I did a test myself by creating a posting with an image in it and the module displays it fine once I comment out the strip_tags.
Here is the regular news posting and the same posting using Anynews module.

-
hello marathoner,
thanks for digging into this!
could you please tell me where exactly you commented out the stripping tags? i guess this is the point where i went wrong...
bye
-
@Olli-
I have to apologize. I had commented out line 92 in the example that I listed above and that you looked at. It worked just fine; however, it wasn't until just now when I went back to see what the line number was did I realize that the display_news_items function already has this functionality built into it as the last (8th) parameter. You can simply call the display_news_items function as is with the 8th parameter set to FALSE (it's set to TRUE by default).
I've modified my example links above so that you can see the function called with default parameters and with the STRIP_TAGS parameter set to FALSE.
If this doesn't fix your problem, take a look at the data stored in your mod_news_posts table and see if the posting has your IMG tags in it.
-
@marathoner: when displaying the news the regualar way (looking at the news page directly) everything is fine. all tags are there and nothing is broken.
but when using the anynews script all images are destroyed no matter if it set the strip-tag flag to true or false. i'm a bit stuck now i must admit. i can't get any progess into this.
using the old snipped from pc wacht does not help either. this is really confusing because it used to work in the past on another installation...
maybe this is a PHP5 concerned problem? hmm...
thanks for your help marathoner, will look at it all over again and will do a reinstall just to see if that helps...

hi... if you look at www.vagaportal.com in IE, and then look at it in Firefox, you will see what i mean... it´s the bottom line, that is between the news.. :-)
-
Display differences between browsers is, um, a browser issue and not an issue with the Anynews module. Simply play with your CSS to achieve the desired results. I would guess that this is related to float (or in your case image align since you didn't use float). I also noticed a bunch of empty DIV's in the news item that doesn't display the HR correctly.

hi... ok, thanks.. for your help... i´m going to try to make it look good :)

For all WB2.7 users of any_news..
I modified the snippet so it now respects start and end dates of the posts.
The modification was done because someone had a problem with posts being showed where they should not be showed anymore. https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,10233.msg60019.html#msg60019 (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,10233.msg60019.html#msg60019)
The solution tests for the WB version, and is compatible with the WB 2.6.7 version.
Cheers,
Ruud

Thanks, a bugfix was already postet in reply #142 (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,409.msg57589.html#msg57589) of this thread. Will add a working solution to the addons repository if my time allows to do it.
Regards Christian
-
That's fine Christian.
The fix you referred cannot be used in 2.6.7 sites, so you cannot use this in a download version.
My version will do the same (ofcourse), but only when > 2.7 is used. 2.6.x will use the old query.
Just have a look at it when you have got time.
Cheers,
Ruud

Hello Ruud,
I know about the short comings of the version I posted.
Unfortunatelly there is a bug in the news module (http://projects.WebsiteBaker.org/websitebaker2/changeset/853) of WB 2.7, which needs an additional workaround to get anynews working with 2.6.x, 2.7 RC1 to final and any future 2.7.x.
Therefore no update of the anynews snippet is available so far on the addons repository. Best thing would be to check for database fields instead of version numbers to make sure anynews works on all platforms. Will have a closer look on this issue once time does free up in the future.
Regards Christian
-
Despite the existing bug and workaround that might be needed, I made a small modification in the last version.
In this post (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,10508.0.html) the problem was reported there is no translation for internal links in the snippet.
In this version (v0.14) this is fixed.

Heya,
ok, its early morning and it was a very sleepless night, so please excuse my question, but i dont know where or how to add news with this very nice snipped.
So far ive added a custom code to one of my pages but theres always shown: there are no news available yet.
And are there any options in the backend where i could change anything?
Thanks for your help...
-
First create a news page (you can hide from the menu if you want).
In there you can create the news items. AnyNews will see the created items automatically.
Ruud
-
thanks, but
if i use a code page, how can i create news items there? i thought it uses the database for news?
-
You don't need to create the news-page in the same place.
You need a page (anywhere) to input (and display the full article).
The AnyNews snippet could be used in a code-section (if you need it on a single page) or in your template/index.php (if you need it on every page).
Ruud
-
ok, i think ive understod but could you give me an example please?
Thanks a lot, i think any news is exactly what i looked for... :-D
-
Please have a look here:
WebsiteBaker Help Project - News (http://help.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/de/basis-doku/umgang-mit-wb/seitenverwaltung/seiten-aendern/news.php)
That will help creating a news page.

Ohhhh I LOVE YOU!!!
Its so weird, it was right in front of me and i didnt see this... ahh awfull...
everything i need is already integrated in WebsiteBaker and is didnt see this...
Cruel world...
ARGH, im so sorry that is wasted your time with this kiddieshit...
but, just as i said, its early in the morning and the first walk i made was to the computer and straight into this forum. as i got up this morning i thought i had THE idea...
Ok, remember, first FAQ then google, then the forumsearch and then POST...
Thank you... -.-'

hi, i know i have asked about this before, but i have tried to change the css anyway i know, but i still can´t get the line between the news to show right (i still have to make "enter" until it´s below the image i use, and then the "read more" text goes to far down, looks a bit weird!...
is there anyone who can help me in the right direction with this... or tell me where to change it! i have tried to change the css file... but no luck there, ???? :mrgreen:

www.hfhmagazine.com
my problem is the anynews " on the left", when i use pictures in the short text!!, you see the second, third nr. news and so on, i have used "enter" to regulate is, but it does not look good, i want the ...read more, to come right after the text and even if i use a big picture i want the line (hr) to come at the bottom, not to the right (even if i choose "left" in the picture edit)!!
hobe you know what i mean, i know this is css question, but i just can´t figure it out??!!
-
Try adding
#mynews p {
overflow:auto;
}
Is that what you want?
Ruud
-
yesssssssssssssss thank you thank you thank you, thats just what i have been looking for :)
ubs, exept i wanted the "read more" to be at the end of the text,... but this is still much better :) then before!
-
A bit risky.. but looks good
#mynews h2 {
text-align: right;
margin-top: -20px;
}
Ruud
-
now its perfect, thanks for your help :)
i read in the thread that someone had found out how to show the date (posted when) with the anynews! but i can´t find the code for that in the forum, can anyone point me to the post for that?
-
In the AnyNews "include.php" find the line:
// OUTPUT NEWS ITEMS WITH NEWS TITLE, SHORT NEWS TEXT AND READ MORE LINK
Below that line the output is created.
Depending on the location where you need the date/time to appear you could add:
$output .= "<p class=\"dateformat\">".gmdate("d M Y, H:i", $data['posted_when']+TIMEZONE)."</p>\n";(class "dateformat" is added so you can use CSS to position and size things.)
Cheers,

Hi, I have been trying to add the cde snippet to my page under my menu on the left, as soon as I paste the code into my index.php file and want to preview it, the page is blank. I have set up the news module in admin, and created a few sample news articles, any idea why it will be doing this?
This is the code I have tried to paste into index.php
<!-- NEWS READER -->
<?php
$group = 0; // Specify the Group&#40;id&#41; you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,link
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts
WHERE group_id = $group
ORDER BY posted_when DESC
LIMIT 0, 5;"; // This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10.
// The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results
$error = mysql_error&#40;&#41;;
if &#40;!$result = mysql_query&#40;$query&#41;&#41; &#123;
print "$error";
exit;
&#125;
while&#40;$data = mysql_fetch_object&#40;$result&#41;&#41;&#123;
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link; ?>
<p>
<a href="<?php echo WB_URL; ?><?php echo $link ?><?php echo PAGE_EXTENSION; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a>

Somehow your code is polluted by stuff like #38;#41;
They prevent the script from working. Please download the latest version on the bottom of page 8 and try again.

Thanks Argos
That was the problem :-)

hi boys,
how I can make in order to visualize the list of the existing groups?
sorry for my english :lol:

This is not possible with this snippet, because it shows latest news per group, or all groups together. To show the groups themselves, just use the normal news page.

Hi,
just released version 0.21 (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php) of the anynews snippet on the addons repository. The module is based up on v0.14 published by Ruud E and hence includes the fixes for the publish by date function and for internal WB links.
Version v0.21 introduces two new options.
- option to specify tags which will not be removed by the strip_tags option (default: anchor tag)
- option to display the publish date/time to the title of each news entry (default: off)
Apart from that, some code cleaning, language support and a HTML help file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/anynews/help/help_en.html) was added to v0.21.
Ruud can you please remove your zip files (v0.13 and v0.14) from this thread as v0.21 includes all your changes?

Trying to make a templete were "Any News", depending of language set on the page, list news from one of two sources. Is it hard to do this?
-
I've done this by using 2 news groups. Dutch / English
I didn't set the language in the pages, but used a /pages/en/ or /pages/nl/ page structure.
<?php
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (function_exists('display_news_items')) {
if (strrpos($url,"/en/")) {
display_news_items(1,3,-1,1,"Latest news","read more","No news available",false);
} else {
display_news_items(2,3,-1,1,"Laatste nieuws","verder lezen","geen nieuws beschikbaar",false);
}
}
?>
Ruud
-
Thnx Ruud will try it out..
-
I missed one line you will need to have too:
Before testing the $url variable, it needs to be defined with something ;-)
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
Ruud

hi... again :)
i was wondering where if you know where i can change the month name :)
i use this extra line in the include.php
$output .= "<p class=\"dateformat\">".gmdate("d M Y", $data['posted_when']+TIMEZONE)."</p>\n";
but the date comes out in english, ex. 23 oct. ... and i want to change it to 23. okt.
i have looked in the language files, but can´t find it there - is it possible to change it :)
otherwise everything is working perfect now :)...... www.sudurras1.com
-
You can use the function strftime() instead of gmdate().
$output .= "<p class=\"dateformat\">" . strftime("%d %B %Y",$data['published_when'])."</p>\n";
(example is using WB2.7 published_when instead of WB2.6 posted_when)
By default, it uses the locale settings of your php configuration.
For more info on how to tweak strftime and local languages, see: http://www.php.net/strftime
Ruud

thanks :) :-D
-
there is one small problem with the wb 2.7 and anynews :)
the clock possibility in the news, does not work with anynews - meaning even if i choose that the a certain news, should not be shown until 8 pm .... it comes out in the anynews right away?
but it works fine on the news page, and dosn´t show up until 8 pm....
So if anyone has a solution, i would love to hear about it :-D
-
The snippet needs to be adjusted for that function to work. Currently it does not consider the times and/or dates.
cheers
Klaus
-
Klaus is wrong here,
The current version of Anynews will respect the published date and time. Using exactly the same rules as the news service itself.
Check the version you are running. Version 2.1 (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/dlg_by_groups/dlc.php?file=218) is the current one.
Ruud

Should have done some better research then :-D didn't actually check. Sorry about that ...

Works like charm!
If you want to have the first 3 news with heading and short text display_news_items(0,3,40,1) and the next 10 wit just heading like display_news_items(3,10,0,1), is it possible?
Anyway thanx alot for the code..
-

No, not without changing the any_news snippet code.
The snippet will always show the last n messages, it will not skip the first n.
Ruud

<?php
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (function_exists('display_news_items')) {

} else {
display_news_items(2,3,-1,1,"Laatste nieuws","verder lezen","geen nieuws beschikbaar",false);
}
}
?>
I noticed a small problem as the URL changes when you read a newspost the /en/ part dissapears. Then the script then shows the default news parts. Is trere any variable not shown in the URL that one can locate to know what newsgroup that you read from? When will I be able to do some PHP magic like you Ruud =)
-
You could decide to not show the anynews at all on the page where you are reading.
Replace the } else { with } else if (strrpos($url,"/nl/")) {.
(also a searchpage would not show a wrong language newsblock that way)
For the rest I cant tell what is in your URL unless I can see it ;-)
Ruud
-
Nice! Got it to work..but when i view the page with all news "they" are back ofcource so doday I was thinking if the ?lang=SE part in the URL can be useful. So pages with ?lang=SE see this news and pages with ?lang=GB se that news? Possible?
-
I would just create a news page for every language. You can define per language-newspage where links will be linking to.
The lang=SE parameter is only available as a parameter when switching languages. There is a static variable LANGUAGE available within your template. That will hold the same value as the lang= parameter when switching languages.
Ruud
-
I realize that this is vital information but I can not do anything with it, frustrating. Will RTFM =)
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction though but for now I stick with your code..it is the best thing I got.
-
I would like to thank the website baker community for providing excellent modules. I have used the latest version of the module provided on this site and I have integrated it into my website www.auyana.de.

Wow, cool design! There's a forum called showcase here in the community forum. Maybe you want to introduce your website there.

Hi there,
I don't get the display working.
If I use this code according to the readme
if (function_exists('display_news_items')) {
display_news_items(9, 5, 50, 1,
'Best Practice Beispiele', 'Weiterlesen', 'Momentan in Bearbeitung...',
false, '<a><img>', true, ' (d.m.Y)');
}
I only get text, some tags, no link for the full text, no images, and everything in very big letters (see image 01).
If I change strip tags from false to true, it's still the same, just in smaller letters (see image 02)
In either case images are not displayed, but there alternative text instead.
It would be really nice if someone checks my code and tells me what I am doing wrong here. I am a bit clueless right now, can't see the error in it.
Thanks in advance,
spida

Hello,
anynews v0.21 showed an warning (E_ALL) if the anynews function was called more than once on one page. This is fixed in the latest version 0.22 available on the add-ons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php). Just download the latest version and install it over the existing one via the WB backend.

Hello guys,
please find attached a beta version of the next anynews release.
Installation / De-installation:
As this version uses the same parameter list as the previous versions, there is no need to modify existing calls. Simply install v0.30 (beta) over an existing version via the WB backend and you are done. If you experience any problems, de-install the beta version via the WB backend and install the stable version v0.22 from the add-ons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php).
Whats new:
Version v0.30 (beta) uses two HTML template files located in: "modules/anynews/htt" to style the output for the list format and the detailed output. This allows to add or remove any tags you want without touching the PHP code itself. This way, one can realize table or div based outputs of the news items without touching a single line of PHP code.
The following placeholders can be used in the "*.htt" files:
NEWS INFO: {TITLE}, {POSTED_WHEN}, {CONTENT_SHORT}, {LINK}
FUNCTION ARGUMENTS: {ARG_HEADER_TEXT}, {ARG_READMORE_TEXT}, {ARG_NO_NEWS_TEXT}
Note: the "no news text" is added automatically if no news exist.
The placeholder {TITLE} contains the title of the news article from the news database, whereas {ARG_HEADER_TEXT} contains the text passed to the function as 5th parameter ($header_text).
Think this modification in combination with CSS should allow alos users not that familar with PHP to modify the output according their needs.
As usual, feedback, comments or proposals welcome.
Regard Christian
[Edit]File removed. Lastest version available from addons repository[/Edit]

Cool stuff, Doc.
Will test tomorrow.
@Erpe... in this case - I don't know.

Stefek
-
Hi Doc,
sorry for the question, but how can I use this?
rgds
erpe
-
@Erpe:
Install anynews v0.30 locally and check out the files contained in /htt. The files are pure text files containing HTML tags and placeholders like {TITLE}. This files control the order and overall apearance of the news output. There is a help file contained in the module.
There were a lot of discussions in this thread regarding moving outputs from a to b, to get rid of paragraph tags etc. creating div or table layouts. The previous solutions required to touch the PHP code and a lot of end users are not that familar with doing this. Therefore I decided to introduce the HTML template files to make it more practicable. The files may be editable by the use of the "edit module files" module.
For abaut 80% of the users nothing will change, the other 20% have the freedom to style the output like they want.

Hello,
just released Anynews v0.31 (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php) on the Add-ons Repository.
Installation / De-installation:
Simply download the latest version and install it via the WebsiteBaker backend. No need to de-install existing version
Whats new:
- possibility to style text output via template files located in anynews/htt/*.html
- two new parameters to sort news by position or posted_when in decending or ascending order
The template files (pure HTML) allows you style the output without touching the PHP code of the module itself. Details can be found in the module help file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/anynews/help/help_en.html).
Regard Christian

Great enhancement! I just wanted to start modifying v0.21 because I need some changes to the default layout of the news entries in v0.21, but v0.31 makes this obsolete as I can modify the template files now. Exactly what I nedded. Thank you!
There are just two modifications I still have to make:
1. Why is max_news_items limited to a maximum of 10? Currently there is no way to change this hard-coded limit without modifying the PHP code (which is trivial though). Parameter checking is always a good idea, but why this very low maximum value? Why not set it to a higher value (e.g. 1000, the default could be left to 10 to maintain as much backward compatibility as possible)?
2. I would like to have an additional placeholder that uses the database field published_when instead of posted_when (for displaying and/or sorting). The field published_when is visible and settable in the backend via "Start date" while posted_when is not. Again, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to implement, so I'm going to try this soon.
At least #2 could be implemented as an enhancement to v0.31 which is 100% backward compatible - is there any interest in it?
-
Hello,
both can be implemented with the next release. The field published_when was first introduced with WB 2.7. Setting 10 as max. was in my opinion a good choice, but can easily be changed.
Regards Christian
-
This is good news! One more suggestion: The template files are hardcoded as well. This prevents the author of a website from using different templates in different news pages, which could be very handy, because the news module can also be used for other kinds of pages than just displaying news which sometimes requires different formatting.
Why not make the template filename (or its subdirectory name "htt") selectable via a parameter? This would enhance the flexibility of the snipped by far and is probably easy to implement.
Happy New Year!
-
Does anybody have the same problem: max_news_length does not work, short text is always shown completely.
<?php
if (function_exists('display_news_items')) { display_news_items(0, 2, 10, 1, 'News', 'Read more...', 'No news'); } ?>Any hint? Thank you!

Hello,
just released Anynews v0.32 (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php) on the Add-ons Repository.
Installation / De-installation:
Download the latest version from the WebsiteBaker Add-ons repository. Uninstall previous versions of Anynews via the WebsiteBaker backend if available, then install the latest version.
Whats new:
- fixed bug with $max_news_length (setting was ignored from 0.30 onwards)
- added placeholder {PUBLISHED_WHEN} which can be used in the templates files (/htt)
- added possibility to define custom template output files by setting $display_mode (3..99); requires a file called "custom_output_displ ay_mode_X.htt in the /htt folder)
- increased max. value of $max_news_items from 10 to 999 (min:=1, max:=999, default:=10)
Details can be found in the module help file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/anynews/help/help_en.html).

Hi Christian,
it's my favorite module, so I want to thank you for your work!

Excellent! It's getting more and more flexible and works well here. Thank you!
Would it make sense to add a third "sort_by" parameter (e.g. 3) which sorts by the field PUBLISHED_WHEN? In this case the field PUBLISHED_WHEN could be taken as a creation date which is visible/modifyable via the backend and automatically sorted by this date.
Is it really necessary to deinstall the old version first before installing a newer version?
-

Hello,

Installation / De-installation:
Download the latest version from the WebsiteBaker Add-ons repository. Uninstall previous versions of Anynews via the WebsiteBaker backend if available, then install the latest version.
Whats new:
- added possibility to sort news by published_when column ($sort_by :=3)
Details can be found in the module help file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/anynews/help/help_en.html).
Regard Christian
@Katerchen: Yes it is required to delete an existing version, as I have changed filenames which will not be deleted via the normal update procedure. However, as Anynews is a code snippet, you do not need to delete any page or code section before uninstalling the module as it is the case for page modules like Zitate, Guestbook ...
-
Just installed v0.33 - sorting by published_when works great! But now sort_by = 1 seems to be broken - it sorts by published_when also. Take a look at line 114 in include.php - does this construction really work?
Edit: I just replaced
$sql_sort_by = ($sort_by == 1) ? 'position' : ($sort_by == 3 && $add_sql != '') ? 'published_when' : 'posted_when';
with a nested "if" clause and it worked again, so this line seems to be the culprit.
-
Hi,
well missed a bracket pair. The line below should work as expected.
$sql_sort_by = ($sort_by == 1) ? 'position' : (($sort_by == 3 && $add_sql != '') ? 'published_when' : 'posted_when');
Have replaced the version on the Addon repository (still labeled version v0.33, so delete an existing version and replace it with the new one).

Sure, make a code section and put the snippet in there. I recommend using the code2 module: http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/admin/core-replacements/code-2.php. It's more versatile than the default code module.

is there a way to link the title header to the news it's showing (when it's only 1 group)?
like in there http://www.votreespace.net/pages/nouvelles.php
the "derniere realistion" is another news in a subsection, other than making the link manualy in the call, can we activate a link to the group?
because something like this :
if (function_exists('display_news_items')) {
display_news_items(0,10,50, 2,'<a href="/pages/nouvelles/derniere-realisations.php">Dernières mise-a-jour</a>', 'Voir...', 'oups, aucunes mise a jour');
} do not seam to work.

Hello,
should be doable with the latest version of anynews released recently on the addon repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php).
You can style the output of anynews by modifying the HTML templates included in the folder /htt of anynews as described in the README file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/anynews/help/help_en.html).

just released Anynews v0.34 on the WebsiteBaker Add-ons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php).
This version fixes a bug which made it impossible to make use of the custom output template files like: custom_output_display_mode_X.htt (X for a number between 3 and 99). Thanks to Erpe for reporting.
Further details can be found in the Readme file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/anynews/help/help_en.html).
Delete any previous version and install the latest version afterwards.
Have fun

Is it possible to put the anynews in a WYSIWYG page?
So if you make a new page and use as type WYSIWYG.
Because I would like it at the frontpage only (so no use to put it in template) and I kinda need to have a WYSIWYG page for some other users.
thanks.
-
Hello,
yes, simply add a WYSIWYG section and a code section to a page. Then call the Anynews function from the code section. This way you do not need to touch your template. Details about section can be found on the WB help site:

Hello,
need to check if the striptags options are missing for the short text in the last version of Anynews.

ok, i tried to look through the old code, but i really don´t see what code is for the picture, so if anyone knows, please let me know!

Hi all.
Thanks a lot for a great forum and dedicated community. :)
I am a fairly new user off website baker, I like it a lot!
I tweaked some files here and there and got most working like I want it.
Now to the topic:
What I would like with anynews is the ability to show news starting from news item X!
On the front page I would like to show one news item with text and 5 more with just links.
But with the code here under the first full will be the same as the first in the second group.
Any way to work around or any way it´s possible to add to the anynews code?
if (function_exists('display_news_items'))
{
display_news_items(0, 1, 230, 1, 'Latest News', 'show full news text', 'uups, no news available', true, '<a><img>', true, ' (Y-m-d)', 2, 1);
display_news_items(0, 5, 0, 2, 'More News', 'show full news text', 'uups, no news available', true, '<a><img>', true, ' (Y-m-d)', 2, 1);
}
Thanks for any tips and help!

hi,
try it with two sections .....
first section take the "latest news" - modul from here....
http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/modules/listings/section-pages/latest-news.php (http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/modules/listings/section-pages/latest-news.php)
it shows the last news-post full...
second section take the anynews for the links to the rest of the news.... :wink:
I think the question was how to let the anynews module start with the second latest item, instead of the latest one...
-
Sorry this is all new to me, I need to show
5 posts
News Title
Short Description max 40 length
read more
What code would I need in my index.php
Many Thanks

This is what I have but no short description is showing?
<?php display_news_items(0, 5, 50, 2, 'Latest News', 'read more', 'no news yet', '<a>', 'do not show publish date', '1', '1'); ?>
-
The 4th parameter should be set to 1.
2 means you will get a list of links only.
display_mode... 1:=details (default); 2:=unsorted list; 3-99 (custom template: /htt/custom_output_display_mode_X.htt)

Thanks so much guys all sorted

How does this snippet deal with the possibility that there are more than one news pages? Can I specify which page I want to display the news items from?
Thanks,
Konrad
-
If you have multiple News pages you will need to use the group id.
Create a group for every newspage to use, and use the first parameter to show only that group.
It works fine for multilanguage sites. (used it like that before)
Groups like "Dutch news, English News, etc.."
Ruud
-
Great stuff, thanks.
If I have multiple news pages and assign group = 0 in the snippet, what is the order of the news items based on? It seems to display them randomly but I would like to display the top news item from each individual news page.
Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks,
Konrad
-
Hi Konrad,
have a look at the Readme file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/anynews/help/help_en.html) coming along with Anynews. Guess the last two options sort_order and sort_by are your friend.
Regards Christian
-
Thanks Christian,
I've upgarded to the latest version and followed the instructions in the read me - I understand it orders it based on the date / time, either ascending or descending?
Presuming I have 5 news pages, is there any way to display the top post of each news page rather than just the 5 latest posts?
Thanks!
Konrad
-
Hi,
anynews only allows to list x news from either all news pages (group id = 0) or from a certain group (group id > 0). However, you can think off calling the function 5 times (one call per group) and limiting anynews to show only one news per group. This in combination with a user defined template (/htt/custom_output_display_mode_X.htt) should do the trick even if it is not that straight forward.
Regards Christian
-
Thanks Christian,
I was thinking along similar lines but unfortunately I don't think it will work in this scenario - Ill try something else.
Thanks very much for your help though! :wink:
-
I noticed it is possible to allow certain tags using 'allowed_tags' but is it also possible to only allow these tags (img and a) and exclude any text? This way I could show the image and use that as a link and could make it look a bit more 'designed'.
Thanks,
Konrad
-
Hi Konrad,
this is not possible in any of the Anynews version available. Anynews simply uses the PHP strip_tags function with the option to define tags which should not get removed from the text. However, feel free to change the code to fit your needs.
Regards Christian
-
Okay, never mind!

Hi,
Anynews v0.40 is available on the WebsiteBaker Addons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php#id_218).
Main changes:
- anynews function was renamed from display_news_items() into displayNewsItems()
- the old function name still exists, but was marked deprecated, which means it will be removed in future versions
- some code clean up
Regards Christian
-
Ok, what am I missing?
I have 2 news groups, Group-X and Group-Y and want to display news from Group-X on my front page by using:
<?php displayNewsItems(0, 5, 50, 2,
'Latest news', 'read more', 'No news available',
true, '<a><img>', true, ' (d.m.Y)', 1, 1); ?>
What do I put instead of 0 as the first parameter? I tried 1 and I tried Group-X, none worked. It only shows news from all groups...
Is group id same as group title?
Help pls!
(I'm using latest version of wb and anynews)
-
Hello,
the group is is numeric. Go the the WB backend and vist the page of type News (not Anynews). Look for the section called: "Modify / Delete Groups" which lists all the groups you have created. Go with the mouse over the group name and look in the browser status bar (in Firefox at the bottom). Here you see a link with the numeric group_id. If you don´t get it, simply click on the link of the group you are interested. The group_id can be found in the URL.
If it still not works, make sure you have assigned the news entries to one of those groups. Per default, news entries are assigned to the group_id 0, you need to add news entries manually to a group to get it working.
The parameter to touch is the first one. If still in doubt, have a look at the README file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/modules/anynews/help/help_en.html).
Regards Christian
-
Aaahaaaa! That mouse over trick did the job.
Thank's a lot!
-
to make the "Title" the link also?
anyone who knows?, there was now trouble in the old code, but i just can´t figure it out in this new code?
-
Hi
you have to modify the standard template in anynews and add
<a href="{LINK}">{TITLE}</a>
in that row.

Do you mean in this code part (i tried, and the pages keep turning blank)? (this is in the module/anynews/index.php ?
// replace the news article dependend template placeholders
$tpl->set_var(array(
'TITLE' => ($strip_tags) ? strip_tags($row['title']) : $row['title'] ,
'CONTENT_SHORT' => $row['content_short'],
'POSTED_WHEN' => ($display_publish_date) ? date($date_time_format, $row['posted_when']) : '',
'PUBLISHED_WHEN' => isset($row['published_when']) ? date($date_time_format, $row['published_when'])
: date($date_time_format, $row['posted_when']),
'LINK' => WB_URL . PAGES_DIRECTORY . $row['link'] . PAGE_EXTENSION

What version of anynews do you use?

i think i found.... under modules/anynews/htt/detailed_output.htt
looks. like thats its... i just have to customize it now!

Hi,
I wondered if it was possible, in addition to the max number of news-items shown, also to specify how old the news-items must be, to be shown on the list ?
For example I want max 5 items and no one older than 1 month.
-
Hi,
this feature would require to modify the code in the file include.php and to add another control parameter to the function. As the function already has 13 parameter, users may get lost with the options.
Another option is to deactivate "older" news via the WB backend manually.
Regards Christian
-
Hi,
If I deactivate "older" news via the WB backend, I can't see them anymore in the news page (correct me if I'm wrong), so I think I'll have a look at include.php and try to modify the file myself.
Thanks for responding.
Regards Brian
-
Hello,
If I deactivate "older" news via the WB backend, I can't see them anymore in the news page
Thats true. Released a new version of Anynews at the Addons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php#id_218) which introduces the variable $not_older_than. This allows you to show only news posted within the last x days. For the last 12 hours simply specify 0.5. Details can be found in the Readme file.

Hello,
please post any questions related to anynews in this thread instead of sending a PM at the first place. This may give the hint to other users which may have similar issues. Thanks.
... I would realy love to integrate the anynews snippet in a table (for lay-out puposes) in the homepage for website for my school. As you can see on the homepage of http://www.jonatan.be, the cell under "schoolnieuws" should be filled with the news, but is not. Further on the page I've used the code-module and then put the snippet in it. That does work, but is not quite as pleasent looking. ...
My public answer:
Think this can be achieved by using a custom template file as described in the Anynews README (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) file. Have a look at /modules/anynews/htt/custom_output_display_mode_3.htt.
Try to play around with the template file. Try something like:
<table>
<!-- BEGIN news_block -->
<tr>
<td><strong>{TITLE} {POSTED_WHEN}</strong></td>
<td>{CONTENT_SHORT}<br />
<a href="{LINK}">{ARG_READMORE_TEXT</a>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- END news_block -->
</table>
Remember to set the display mode to 3 as described in the README file. Try the admin tools Addon File editor (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/admin-tools.php#id_248) from the WebsiteBaker repository if you have no glue how to modify the Anynews template files.
Good luck

Hello,
just released v0.71 of the Anynews code snippet on the WebsiteBaker Add-ons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php#id_218).
The Readme file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) was updated accordingly and explains the parameters to use.
Modifications with respect to previous version:
~ moved language specific text outputs (e.g. read more, date/time format settings) to language files
- removed parameters: $header_text, $readmore_text, $no_news_text, $date_time_format
+ removed support for outdated function call display_news_items()
+ use displayNewsItems() instead
+ added option to output news in random order ($sort_by = 4 as requested in the German forum)
Installation / Update:
Delete a previous version via the WB backend. Then install the latest version from the backend.
Remember to adapt your function parameters in code sections and/or the index.php file of your template!!!
Old parameter list:
<?php
<?php displayNewsItems($group_id, $max_news_items, $max_news_length, $display_mode,
$header_text, $readmore_text, $no_news_text,
$strip_tags, $allowed_tags, $show_publish_date, $date_time_format,

$strip_tags, $allowed_tags, $show_publish_date,
$sort_by, $sort_order, $not_older_than);
?>
If you use custom template files, check and replace the following placeholders:
{ARG_HEADER_TEXT} --> {TXT_HEADER}
{ARG_READMORE_TEXT} --> {TXT_READMORE}
{ARG_NO_NEWS_TEXT} --> {TXT_NO_NEWS}
Requirements:
+ Requires WebsiteBaker 2.7 or higher

Hi
I am having trouble getting the array function to work with this module. This is what I am putting into my index file to show in my menu:
<?php
displayNewsItems(array(1,3,4,6,7,8,9), 5, 50, 2,
'<h2 class="rightmenu"><a href="/pages/articles-tutorials.php">Latest Articles</a></h2>', 'read more', 'no articles available', false, '<a>', false, '', 1, 1);
?>
This should show the related groups news items in the array i have specified, but whenefver i use the array functions instead of eitehr 0 for all or X for a particular group it returns "no articles avaliable" even thoug htere are news groups with the numbers in the array?
I simply cant get the array part to work? has anyone got any ideas?
-
Hi,
please update your function call to the latest version available. The stuff like 'read more' etc. is no longer supported.
The function parameters are described in the Anynews README file. If not already done, please update to version 0.92 of Anynews.

Hmmmmmmmmm i think it must have been me doing something wrong (probably due to 2 glasses of wine lol) because when i tried it all again this morning it all worked!!!! strange
Thanks for advice anyway :)

I've done this by using 2 news groups. Dutch / English
I didn't set the language in the pages, but used a /pages/en/ or /pages/nl/ page structure.
<?php
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (function_exists('display_news_items')) {
if (strrpos($url,"/en/")) {
display_news_items(1,3,-1,1,"Latest news","read more","No news available",false);
} else {
display_news_items(2,3,-1,1,"Laatste nieuws","verder lezen","geen nieuws beschikbaar",false);
}
}
?>

Hello,
please check out the latest Anynews version (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php#id_218), which includes a feature to automatically detect the language from the URL or from the page or section language defined via WB. Details about this feature can be found in Section C of the Anynews README (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) file.
To make this feature working for languages other than German or English, you need to create a Anynews language file for your language and copy it to the Anynews language folder. Currently supported languages are: German (DE.php) and English (EN.php).
If you have created a new Anynews language file, please add it as XX.txt file to this thread and I will add it with a next release of Anynews.
By the way, Anynews language files in other languages like Dutch etc. are also appreciated :wink:

- Is it possible to get the title truncated to a certain amount?
- Is it possible to show the latest events from Event Calendar
On a website i use 'Event Calendar' and the module it self doesnt have the possibility to show the latest
events listed in a block.
Is there any way to grab the latest 4 events with AnyNews?

Hi,
@eazybaker:
Thanks for the language file. By the way. Does a Estonia language file exists for the WebsiteBaker backend? Guess it should be EE.php but I haven´t found one yet.
... but can i modify it somehow to display only news from that language what i choose???
You can add all English news to its own group and all Estonian news to another group. Than you can set the first parameter of Anynews to show one of the groups depending on your page / section.
@D72:
Is it possible to get the title truncated to a certain amount?
Sure, but you need to adapt the Anynews code to achieve that. Check for line 187 in the file include.php. This line needs to be adapted e.g. with substr to truncate the title after XX characters.
Is it possible to show the latest events from Event Calendar
Well the tool is called anynews not anyeventcalendar, so the answer is no. However, you could copy Anynews rename it to anycalendar and adapt the database queries to fetch content from the calendar table.
Is there any way to grab the latest 4 events with AnyNews?
Yes and the HowTo is explained in the README file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) of the module.

Hello Christian,
Thanks for answering.
In order to truncated the titles of anyNews, i shall check this out. I'm not sure about my mysql and database skills, but maybe the the include.php page explains enough for me. I'm certainly give it a try.
About getting headlines by anyNews of the EventCalender...
I will ask this question in the topic of Event Calendar. Maybe someone in there got a brilliant idea.
Also, are you still in the need of a Dutch translation?
I thought it allready has a Dutch file in it.
Wich files should be translated? Only translate EN.php to a NL.php ?
Otherwise, count me in to translate it for you.
It's a good exercise for me to get AnyNews better... Nice module, but for a beginner... a pain in the ass...

You can add all English news to its own group and all Estonian news to another group. Than you can set the first parameter of Anynews to show one of the groups depending on your page / section.

Also, are you still in the need of a Dutch translation?
Sure, so far German, English and Estonian language is supported by default. Just translate DE.php or EN.php (what ever fits best) to NL.php. Please send me a PM once you are done and I will add your translation to the module.
... Nice module, but for a beginner... a pain in the ass...
Fully agree. The snippet started with a few options but has grown over time. Any kind of help (e.g. with the README file etc.) is therefore welcome. Sometimes it is hard for a "developer" to write a documentation which fits the needs of the "end users".

Hello,
just released v1.00 of the Anynews code snippet on the WebsiteBaker Add-ons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php#id_218).
The English Readme (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) file is up to date, the Dutch one needs to be updated.
Changes:
The latest version includes a new display options ($display_option = 3) which uses jQuery and some JQuery-Plugins developed by Ariel Flesler (http://flesler.blogspot.com/) to display news with the Coda Slider Effect (http://jqueryfordesigners.com/demo/coda-slider.html).
To use this option, one needs to add an additional code line into the index.php file of your template.
<?php include_once(WB_PATH . '/modules/anynews/coda-slider.inc.php'); ?>
This mode does also work with Javascript disabled, but without visual effect in that case.
Have fun

Hi Ruud,
seems jqueryfordesigners. com had some server problems. Tried it some seconds ago and the demo seems to work again.: http://jqueryfordesigners.com/demo/coda-slider.html
The Anynews Coda Slider output is very close to the one posted at jqueryfordesigners. com. Just give it a try on a local test environment, it isn´t that much work to set it up :-)

P.S.: In case it does not work, I can send you a link with the pure HTML files for the Coda Slider demo.

Hi,
just released v1.10 of the Anynews code snippet on the WebsiteBaker Add-ons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php#id_218).
The English Readme (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) file is up to date, the Dutch one is outdated and needs to be updated.
Applied changes:
Added some more default placeholder which can be used in the output (e.g. {DISPLAY_NAME}, {USERNAME}, {GROUP_TITLE} ... The full list of placeholders available can be found in the template file: custom_output_display_mode_4.htt ($display_mode:=4).
More advanced feature:
The function parameter $show_publish_date was replaced with the new parameter $custom_placeholder which allows users to define their own placholder variables by regular expression. If the regular expression matches, additional placeholders are avaialbe for usage in the template files. Details about this can be found in the README file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html).
If you have used $show_publish_date = false to hide the publish dates, just remove the placeholder {PUBLISH_WHEN} from your template filed (folder /htt) to achieve the same effect.
Example:
$custom_placeholder:= array('IMG_LINK' => '%img%', 'MY_VAR' => '#(test)#i')
The code above searches the long and short news content for optional image tags (%img%) and text string 'test' (#(test)#i). Assuming, the news long text field contains two image tags and both, short and long text field contains the string 'test', the following additional placeholders can be used inf the template files:
LONG_IMG_LINK_1, LONG_IMG_LINK_2
SHORT_MY_VAR_1, LONG_MY_VAR_1
User defined variable names (e.g. MY_VAR turns into: PREFIX_MY_VAR_INDEX, where PREFIX is LONG/SHORT for long or short content field).
Have fun

Hi everybody,
Has anyone tried to have a News scroller in DHTML to show news via the AnyNews module and to keep the linking to the news itself ?
Regards
-
Hi,
first of all, please try to raise your question in the correct module thread. The module thread (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,409.msg86508.html#msg86508) for discussion are normally linked on AMASP or the WebsiteBaker Addons repository (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/modules/code-snippets.php#id_218).
Now to your question. Have you checked out the Coda Slider stuff integrated since Anynews v1.00? This should give you a good starting point for Javascript driven News output. If you have already a working JS script, maybe post the link so other users may be able to pick it up and to create a working demo.
Regards Christian
Maybe a forum administrator can move this thread into the Anynews thread.
-
OK ... done.

Hi there,
Checked the help files and the forum but still didn't got the answer I was looking for.
Simple question:
Do I have to create a template for every language in which I want to place the news items for that specific language?
I have 3 languages, 3 different 'latest news' pages in each language. The automatic translation for the 'read more' button does work fine.
But do I have to create a template for every language because otherwise you see all the languages underneath each other in the latest news section.
May be I'm overlooking something because in the HELP files there is no mentioning about creating a template for every language in order to show only the specific language and not all languages underneath each other.
The array(3,4) thing only publics certain groups, not certain languages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Greetz,
Boudi

Hello Boudi,
same problem was reported in the German forum part today :wink:
You have to use the Page Language Feature of WB (Settings -> Advanced Options -> Page Language) and assign each page to e.g. German, English etc.
Than you can use the following construct (DE, EN Support) in your template index.php file to get things working:
<?php
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
if (LANGUAGE == 'DE') {
displayNewsItems(2,3,-1,1,'de',true, '<p><a><img>','none',4, 3,'disabled');
} else {
displayNewsItems(3,3,-1,1,'en',true, '<p><a><img>','none',4, 3,'disabled');
}
}
?>
Regards Christian

Hi Christian,
Thnx for your quick answer :)
But is there still that issue with these setting? -> Settings -> Advanced Options -> Page Language.
If you do so there will be problems when doing a search; the flags of other countries then will dissapear.
I thought I mentioned this behaviour for some months ago.
I just did a check on a multilanguage WB 2.7 website and enabled the Settings -> Advanced Options -> Page Language. After that I did a search and the flags dissapeared. After I turned this option off again the flags stayed intact after a search.
That's why I always turn this option off: Settings -> Advanced Options -> Page Language when creating multilanguage WB sites.
or am I doing seriously wrong over here? :?
-
Hi Boudi,
But is there still that issue with these setting? -> Settings -> Advanced Options -> Page Language.
Done some checks recently with the Language Switcher Snippet (flags), show_menu2 and the latest WB version (from SVN trunk) and have not run into any problems with the search yet.
Don´t now if this is fixed or not. Maybe it is best to start another thread to discuss about this issue, as this is not a "Anynews" specific tasks.
Good luck
Christian

Hi,
Well, again I ran into problems when enabling the Page Language and setting the news pages in their languages; they dissapear from the menu. (eg; the german button "aktuell" does not show up in the German menu)
Besides that your piece of coding didn't do anything. (didn't show the news at all)
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong over here but for the moment I'm still figuring out what exactly.
So I will brainstorm further this evening and tomorrow. When I get the job done I will let you know :wink:
Thnq anyway for your help.
Greetz,
Boudi

It seems working now. (with the Page Language disabled :wink:) but still 1 problem: the website contains 3 languages:
Dutch/English/German
I used your example and tried to implement a 3rd language. But then I end up with a blank screen. But it actually does work with 2 languages.
How must I change this code into 3 languages? (Unfortunately I'm not a php coder so I can't 'see' how to achieve this)
<?php
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
if (LANGUAGE == 'DE') {
displayNewsItems(2,3,-1,1,'de',true, '<p><a><img>','none',4, 3,'disabled');
} else {
displayNewsItems(3,3,-1,1,'en',true, '<p><a><img>','none',4, 3,'disabled');
}
}
?>
-
Hi Boudi,
guess you have a coding error and the error_reporting is set to E_NONE, thats why you see a blank screen.
You can do it via if, elseif, else statement, or to learn something different with a switch statement as shown below.
<?php
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
switch(LANGUAGE) {
case 'DE':
displayNewsItems();
break;
case 'EN':
displayNewsItems();
break;
default:
displayNewsItems();
break;
}
}
?>
Note:
Please check the Function parameter you pass over to Anynews. Arguments like 'none' and 'disabled' are no valid function parameters. Details can be found in the Anynews README file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) (section Example for a customized call).
Regards Christian
-
Christian,
Your code just did the job. Thnq very much! :lol:
I got it working with the -> Settings -> Advanced Options -> Page Language disabled.
So no page language configuration is needed.
Again thnq! :-)
Greetz,
Boudi
PS: If you would like to see this result then I would be happy to pm you.

Why is there no New Topic button?
That's not my actual question. This simple. Would someone please post step-by-step instructions to get Anynews working. I have the latest version installed on WB 2.7. I realize there are help files and web pages, but there seem to be steps left out and I can't bridge the gap.
I see that there's lots of options, but I want to see it working before getting fancy.
-
Why is there no New Topic button?
could be me... but this is a Topic with discussions and not a forum where you can find subjects like where we are right now. In topics it's not allowed to add a new topic. Or am i really in the need of some beauty sleep...
Getting to bed any way right now. :mrgreen:

As Doc stopped maintaining this snippet I hope there is one who will further support this.
Testing 2.8 RC1 I noticed some confusing things with German Language (see image).
I suppose that is has to do with the work that was done on the news module reffering to validation.
Maybe the anynews snippet has to be adapted. What is confusing me is that the same letter is shown right and wrong.
BTW in the news module/page itself all signs are ok.
Anyone with an idea?

As Doc stopped maintaining this snippet I hope there is one who will further support this.
As I am using this snippet on a page I am going to update once 2.8 is released, I can take support for AnyNews. But please keep in mind that my own modules will have priority when I have to split my time. :roll: At the moment, the final release of EasyMenu has highest priority.
If there are open requests at this time (apart from the one erpe posted above), please let me know. I'll see what I can do.
-
Hi WebBird
nice to hear that you will care about this snippet.
Thanks
erpe
-
Anyone with an idea?
Yes. :-D
The news text is shortened. Shortening happens by counting the chars and cutting off the rest when the point of "max chars" is reached.
At this point, there is no single char, but a HTML Entity -> ß
This entity is not recognized, so the text is cut off anyway.
Please send me the complete text and the settings you're using. I will try to correct this issue.
-
nice to hear that you will care about this snippet.
Well, it's in my own self-interest. :wink:
-
What is confusing me is that the same letter is shown right and wrong.
Seems to me that this is happening because the Snippet is cutting the Text after a predefined number of characters.
And it could be that the snippet stops counting by using the HTML Code, not its output in the Frontend.
So you have umlauts and you have 'ß'.
In HTML the Ä for example has - as you know - looks like Ä .
Let's consider the snippet is counting the characs in HTML so it will maybe count up to "&Aum" and then the Output is going nuts.
It's just what I can see through the picture.

Stefek

//EDIT, Bianka was faster :-D
But your explanation was helpful. :-D

Sometimes it is so easy.
Thanks WebBird and Stefek.
That was it.
I changed the number of signs and was done.

PS: Is this something that has to be changed? :? If yes, let me know what you want to know.

I think it would be nicer if the break would not be in the middle of a word. :-D So this will not happen again. Should be fixed.

My English is perfect, isn't it* :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi,
similar issue is when usign the option to truncate the text output at a certain length but allow tags as already discussed in this thread or another thread dealing with Any News.
Another thing which could be fixed with a next version is to get rid of the jQuery stuff in the module folder (used for Anynews Coda Slider effect). Once WB 2.8 gets released, the jQuery stuff could be replaced with the WB 2.8 core jQuery routines.
Cheers Doc
P.S.: Webbird nice to see that you will maintain the snippet in the future :-)
-
Thanks, doc, for the hints. I will take care of it.
I just added a wordwrap2() function that hopefully will fix the text cut issue. :-D
-
P.S.: Webbird nice to see that you will maintain the snippet in the future :-)
Well, it's easy to take care of a module I use myself. :wink: Thank you for this great snippet!

Maybe someone wants to try this hack:
include.php, Line 217:
// leave original line, but comment out
// $row['content_short'] = substr($row['content_short'], $start_pos, $max_news_length) . '...';
// after, add:
$row['content_short']
= wordwrap2(
substr( $row['content_short'], $start_pos ),
$max_news_length
) . '...';
At end of file, BEFORE ?>, add:
function wordwrap2( $str, $width = 75, $break = '\n', $cut = true ) {
$str = html_entity_decode( $str ); //first decode
$out = wordwrap( $str, $width, $break, $cut ); //now wordwrap
$out = htmlentities( $out ); //re-encode the entities
$out = str_replace( htmlentities( $break ), $break, $out ); //put back the break
// return the first line
$temp = explode( $break, $out );
return $temp[0];
}
Now, when using the cut-param...
Example:
DisplayNewsItems( 0, 10, 50 );
...the short text should be cut after 50 chars, but without breaking the last word. (So, the resulting length will be shorter than 50 in most cases.)

Hi WebBird
passt :-D
Danke für die schnelle Hilfe.

can we specify : THAT news feed
like, i'v got a page that dont need no "groups" but got 2 news, can i specify check that feed ?
-
You can remove:
$table = TABLE_PREFIX . 'mod_news_posts';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `$table`
WHERE `active` = '1'
This line ---------> AND $sql_group_id
AND (`published_when` = '0' OR `published_when` <= '$server_time')
AND (`published_until` = '0' OR `published_until` >= '$server_time')
AND $sql_not_older_than
ORDER BY $sql_order_by $sql_sort_order
LIMIT 0, $max_news_items";
from sql query :)
--- ooooups, I for get to mention that its in include.php file :)
cheers
-
i'll test, but as I can see, it will show ALL news, i want a particular news "section" from a singular "page" and not all news sections and pages
-
I dont understand, you want to display specific news from specific group ?
like:
Group 15
-News 1
- news 2 < this one
- news 3
- news 4 < and this one ?
right ?
-
Every post also has a section_id (and page_id) stored in the table.
Adding a
WHERE `section_id` = $my_wanted_section_id
in the query is what you want.
$my_wanted_section_id should be added to the function parameterlist.
Ruud

done it.
i've modified include.php of version 1.11 to make the function do this :
function displayNewsItems(
$section_id = 0, $group_id = 0, $max_news_items = 10, $max_news_length = -1, $display_mode = 1, $lang_id = 'AUTO',
$strip_tags = true, $allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>', $custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 1, $sort_order = 1, $not_older_than = 0)see? first item is section....
i've also added this :
sanitizeUserInputs($section_id, 'i{0;0;999}');just after the line with this
sanitizeUserInputs($group_id, 'i{0;0;999}');
i've added this :
// check for multiple sections or single section values
if (is_array($section_id)) {
// SQL query for multiple groups
$sql_section_id = ' AND `section_id` IN (' . implode(',', $section_id) . ')';
} else {
// SQL query for single or empty groups
$sql_section_id = ($section_id) ? 'AND `section_id` = \'' . $section_id . '\'' : '1';
}
just after this code :
// show all groups if group_id is array which contains 0
if (is_array($group_id) && in_array(0, $group_id)) $group_id = 0;
// check for multiple groups or single group values
if (is_array($group_id)) {
// SQL query for multiple groups
$sql_group_id = '`group_id` IN (' . implode(',', $group_id) . ')';
} else {
// SQL query for single or empty groups
$sql_group_id = ($group_id) ? '`group_id` = \'' . $group_id . '\'' : '1';
}and finaly, modified the sql for this :
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `$table`
WHERE `active` = '1'
AND $sql_group_id
$sql_section_id
AND (`published_when` = '0' OR `published_when` <= '$server_time')
AND (`published_until` = '0' OR `published_until` >= '$server_time')
AND $sql_not_older_than
ORDER BY $sql_order_by $sql_sort_order
LIMIT 0, $max_news_items";
now i can specify the news i want to show it's in section "53", meaning the section of this particular page, so i dont have to make groups specific to show only this news and the 4 mores "news" modules in other section wont show on my anynews call.
p.s. : i've included a retranslation of the include.php and FR.php language, it wasn't completed.

If you want do display specific news posts, find this lines and replace them with following code:
/**
* Work out SQL query for the group_id
* $sql_group_id:= ($group_id:=0 => '1'; $group_id:=X => `group_id` = 'X'; $group_id:=array(2,3) => `group_id` IN ('2,3'))
*/
// show all groups if group_id is array which contains 0
if (is_array($group_id) && in_array(0, $group_id)) $group_id = 0;
// check for multiple groups or single group values
if (is_array($group_id)) {
// SQL query for multiple groups
$sql_group_id = '`post_id` IN (' . implode(',', $group_id) . ')';
} else {
// SQL query for single or empty groups
$sql_group_id = ($group_id) ? '`post_id` = \'' . $group_id . '\'' : '1';
}
this way you can put post id in array..

Hi,
I've got a multi language site.
In the template I use following code:
<?php
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
if (LANGUAGE == 'NL') {
displayNewsItems(2,3,-1,1,'nl',true, '<p><a><img>','none',4, 3,'disabled');
} else {
displayNewsItems(3,3,-1,1,'en',true, '<p><a><img>','none',4, 3,'disabled');
}
}
?>
The language setting is enabled.
Still, I see all the news from all languages.
It's a bit the same problem like this here (on previous page (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,409.msg86837.html#msg86837)) but it doesn't work in my situation. I use WB 2.8. Is this a WB 2.8 specific problem?
Grtz,
Luc
-
language is only for the template, not the language of the news.
it seams to me you'd need to take my last version of include and ad the news sections of each languages.
-
Hi Luc
you have to create a group for each language and then specificly call the group in the anynews call.
The language-file is for the readmore link and the date.
rgds
erpe
-
Guys ... have a look at the last Version of the anynews snippet ... it parses the URL for the "language" like in the Tutorial Setup ... this way it should work.
@Luc: Do you have the "language" in the URL exactly like in the anynews parameter and is it shown as well in the URL if you open the news page?
cheers
Klaus
-

@Erpe,
This is a solution but not the best one.
Do you have the "language" in the URL exactly like in the anynews parameter and is it shown as well in the URL if you open the news page?
@Kweizel
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
But in WB 2.7 my site (http://www.kisstory.be) shows something like ?language=NL in the URL. I see it's gone after I update the site to WB 2.8
I updated the site with the news-module. In my new template I will use anynews with 3 languages.
Grtz,
Luc
-
It seems like only the newspage is missing that language. But anyway, from my understanding the language extraction should work anyway. I'll give it a try as well later on.
cheers
Klaus
-
A solution is an extra parameter with the section-ID.
So you can choose the appropriate section according to the language you want.
I don't think this is a big adjustment? But a very good one.
Grtz,
Luc

Hi folks,
It seems that I have a very stupid question - but I didn't find anyone with the same problem. I've got this anynews-snippet
<?php
if(function_exists('display_news_items')) {
display_news_items(0, 5, 50, 1, "", "mehr lesen", "aktuell gibt es keine news...", false);
} else {
echo 'Requires code snippet anynews (WB addons repository) to display news here.';
}
?>and I have news - called (you won't belive it) news. But what ever I do - the only thing shown is: "Requires code snippet anynews (WB addons repository) to display news here." Of course the Snippet is installed correctly as module. What's wrong here? Any Ideas? Language problems? The site is in german...
Thank you very much,
Patrick
-
Hi,
if you are using the latest version of Anynews from the WB Repository, you need to adapt your code as the Function call has changed from: display_news_items to displayNewsItems. So simply replace the two strings in your code and it should work.
This is also the right order of function parameters (flags) are described in the README file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) distributed with Anynews.
Doc

that's it - didn't remark that... :oops:
thank you very much!!

hm, that brings up another problem. when I use the function display_news_item (which is of course not working anymore) the snippet [[RandomImage?dir=header]] works fine.
But when I use the function displayNewsItem I have a problem with the [[RandomImage?dir=header]]-Snippet: the pictures aren't shown anymore instead the function is displayed as "[[RandomImage?dir=header]] ". What's the problem here? anybody else has that?

Hello bikerider
I'm pretty sure that there are error-messages if you try to set the PHP-Error-Reporting-Level to "E_ALL".
Some copy and paste errors, as the function is named "displayNewsItems" ..
<?php
if(function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems( 0, 5, 50, 1, "", "mehr lesen", "aktuell gibt es keine news...", false);
} else {
echo 'Requires code snippet anynews (WB addons repository) to display news here.';
}
?>

Anyone who knows wether I can use the anynews for the mediablog module
-
Hi!
Why i receive the "’" syntax in news instead of " ' " character ?
Thanks you!
-
I´ve a problem with allowed tags and didn´t find a solution:
The tag-brackets (<,>) will be replaced with "<" or ">". So, if I allow some tags, the sourcecode is shown in the output.
I use wb2.8 and the newest version of anynews.
-
Have you tried the 'strip_tags' and 'allowed_tags' options of the displayNewsItems() method?
strip_tags... true:=remove tags from short and long text (default:=true); false:=don´t strip tags
allowed_tags... tags not striped off (default:='<p><a><img>')
See included help files for details.

Hi WebBird!
Yes, I did. This is my snippet in a code-section:
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(2, 2, 200, 5, DE, true,'<p><a><img>', 1, 0);
}
I also tried "false" instead of "true". The problem is the same.
Do you see any mistake?
-
Cannot reproduce this error. Use "false" instead of "true" and wrap DE in quotes, please.
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(2, 2, 200, 5, 'DE', false,'<p><a><img>', 1, 0);
}
Also, you use a custom template, so please try to replace 5 with 1 for testing. (Which means "details".)
-
Hi,
maybe consider to write your anynews function calls as follows (helps to keep track of the various parameters).
<?php
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems($group_id = 2,
$max_news_items = 2, $max_news_length = 200,
$display_mode = 5, $lang_id = 'DE',
$strip_tags = false, $allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 4, $sort_order = 1, $not_older_than = 0
);
}
?>
You should check $display_mode (5 uses a custom template) and the last two parameters.

Hi Doc & WebBird,
thanks for your help. I´ve tested your solutions, changed true to false, but the problem stays on. Could it have something to do with the installed php-version?
-
Could it have something to do with the installed php-version?
Which is...?
Is the HTML correct on the News page itself?
-
Yes, I´ve made no changes in the html-code on news-section. It´s a fresh wb-installation. The php-version is 4.3.9.
I know, that php5 is required for wb 2.8., but exept of anynews it works without any problems.
-
I have a question.
I use this code:
displayNewsItems(array(10,11, 12, 13, 14), 5, 0, 0, false);I don't know much abouth anynews yet!!
What i trie to achief is a block with new items from several groups, showing only the title of the post.
So not the date, or the dots on the bottom. And not the title (Latest News).
It worked with this code:
$group = 9; // Specify the Group(id) you want to read the news from
global $database;
$query = "SELECT post_id,title,group_id,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE group_id = $group ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 0, 3;";
/*This limits the results to max 5, so if you want it to be 10, make it LIMIT 0, 10. The first number defines the starting point, and the second the max/end of the results */
$error = mysql_error();
if (!$result = mysql_query($query)) {
print "$error";
exit;
}
while($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$title = $data->title;
$id = $data->post_id;
$link = $data->link;
echo '<li><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a>'.$short.'</li>'; // the loop
}
echo "</ul>"; // end of the loop
the problem with this code is that it only works with one group.
the link to my page is :
http://www.studiozi.com/wb
Thanq in advanced
-
Yes, it works only for one group. (Or use 0 for "get from all groups".)
What is the question? :roll:
-
Yes, I´ve made no changes in the html-code on news-section. It´s a fresh wb-installation. The php-version is 4.3.9.
I know, that php5 is required for wb 2.8., but exept of anynews it works without any problems.
I've tried with PHP 4.4.9, but I still can't reproduce the error. Can you show us?
-
My question is.
Is it possible to use multiple groups. for example group 3 and 4.
I have 8 groups.
7 of them i want to use.
Maybe i can use somkind of array??
-
@joep:
You can define all groups ($group_id = 0), a single group ($group_id = x) or a collection of groups ($group_id = array(3,4)). Details about the possible function parameters are provided in the Readme file (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/media/readme_files/anynews_help_en.html) of the module. A function call with two groups can be found in section "Example for a customized call:" of the Readme.
Please make sure you are using the latest version of anynews.

Hi WebBird,
no, I can´t for the moment, it´s not public yet. But I made some screenshots, where you can see, what happens.
[gelöscht durch Administrator]
-
Well, on the screenshot the strip_tags param is set to true, which means "strip all tags", and the lang_id is still not enclosed in quotes. ;)
-
It makes no difference, if I change the parameter from true to false. Language in quotes or not is all the same. I think it has to do with the server-setup.
-
Yes, I'd say it's the most probable explanation. Anyway, I don't know what to look for. :|
-
Hello
As far as i can reproduce this bug it has to do within the max-char restriction, e.g. 200 chars,
in the short-message as the function "wordwrap2" converts htmlentities ... so the brakets became
"<" and ">" - also the quotes to "e ...
To avoid this i've add
<?php
$restore = array (
'<' => "<",
'>' => ">",
'"e;' => "\""
);
$temp[0] = str_replace(array_keys($restore), array_values($restore), $temp[0]);
?>
to the function "wordwrap2" in the bottom of the include.php,
but i'm pretty sure that were are more elegant ways to solve this.
Kind regards
Aldus

Ah. This also explains the problem "micklan" has with ’. Funny that I can't reproduce it... I'll try to find a solution. Thank you very much Aldus!!!
-
I also found that it is ... uhm ... "not nice" if there are any opening HTML tags in the remaining text, so I worked on a solution to close these tags, too. I'm not very happy with the code, but if it works, it's better than leaving it as is.
Can someone please do some tests with the include.php attached?
Edit: Removed attachment
-
Hi WebBird,
I have tested your include.php an it works as you explained. Many thanks for that.
It´s better than before, but not a real solution for the problem. Now it cuts all news-entries even if to long html-commands found in only one news-entry.
I don´t know how to make it, but the anynews-function "max_news_length" should not count the characters of html-tags and not replace the brackets in principle.
-
This is much more effort I can find the time for at the moment. :roll:
-
Hi,
did a quick Google search (http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&source=hp&q=php+truncate+text+but+not+html+code&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=) and found some working code examples (within the first 10 matches or so).
Doc
-
I will have a look at it when I have some free time. (Not within the next weeks.)
Edit: Please take a look at version 1.12. Is this okay?
[gelöscht durch Administrator]
-
Hi WebBird,
thanks for the new version, but I can´t see a difference. It´s the same behavior as in 1.11:
The short-text is only shown correctly on frontpage, when the number of caracters are set high enough to show the hole short-text. If the short-text has more caracters than set in the code-secton, HTML-brackets are shown on frontpage.
Vielleicht nochmal auf deutsch, weil verständlicher: Ich sehe zu 1.11 keine Änderung. Die Kurztexte werden über das anynews-snippet nur dann korrekt dargestellt, wenn die Anzahl der Zeichen so hoch eingestellt wird, dass auf jeden Fall der gesamte Kurztext damit abgedeckt wird. Irgendwie passiert der Fehler also beim Zählen der Zeichen und Abschneiden des Kurztextes.
Das Problem ist, dass man ja dem Anwender schlecht vorschreiben kann, bloß keine Formatierungen im Kurztext vorzunehmen.
-
Can you provide me a complete test case, please? (Post "Short Text" as HTML Code here for Copy&Paste.)
-
Hi WebBird,
that is the anynews-snippet in my code-section:
echo "<h4>Neueste Beiträge</h4>";
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(2, 2, 260, 5,'DE' ,'true' ,'<p><a><img>' , 1, 0);
}
and here is the html-output:
<h4>Neueste Beiträge</h4><div class="anynews">

<p><p><img width="50" hspace="5" height="57" align="left" alt="" src="http://www.politik.uni-osnabrueck.de/cms/media/marx.jpg" />Was unter dem Begriff Demokratie zu verstehen ist, darüber gehen nicht nur im Alltagsverständnis die Meinungen auseinander.

The 8th param is wrong.
($custom_placeholder false:= none (default), array('MY_VAR_1' => '%TAG%#', ... 'MY_VAR_N' => '#regex_N#' ...)
I think you confounded with #9, $sort_by.
This works fine for me:
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = 0,
$max_news_items = 2,
$max_news_length = 200,
$display_mode = 5,
$lang_id = 'DE',
$strip_tags = false,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 1,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0
);
//displayNewsItems(57, 87, 260, 5,'DE' ,'true' ,'<p><a><img>' , 1, 0);
}

Hi WebBird,

Hello people.
I've got a problem with the LINK to the news page.
I've got this script:
displayNewsItems(array(15, 16, 17, 18, 19), 5, 1, 2, NL,
true, '<p><a><img>', false,
2, 1, 0);
This works fine!!
The only problem is when i click a menu item, it doesn't link to the specific news page, but the overview page.
<div class="anynews">
<ul>
<!-- BEGIN news_block -->
<li><a href="[b]{LINK}[/b]">{TITLE}</a></li>
<!-- END news_block -->
</ul>
</div> {LINK}
The link in this code does that..
Anyone knows how to fix this??
Thnq

<li><a href="{LINK}">{TITLE}</a></li>
b tag is not allowed there

Hi,
as Dietmar mentioned, try to add the <b> tag to the allowed tags.
In addition I would suggest to use the following function call, which makes it much more obvious, for what the various parameter are for.
<?php
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = array(15, 16, 17, 18, 19),
$max_news_items = 5,
$max_news_length = 1,
$display_mode = 2,
$lang_id = 'NL',
$strip_tags = true,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img><b>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 2,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0);
?>
Also check the settings for max_news_length which is currently set to 1 and the setting for the language, which should be wrapped in quotes 'NL' instead of NL :-)
Doc
-
I´ll wait for the next version.
Which next version? :?
-
Hi,
as Dietmar mentioned, try to add the <b> tag to the allowed tags.
But Dietmar meant that <b> is not allowed in the href attribute (by the HTML standard), apart from adding it to the list of allowed tags. ;)
-
Hi,
the latest Version of Anynews v1.13 (AMASP only) includes an updated English Readme (http://www.websitebakers.com/media/amasp_uploads/anynews_help_en.html) file. The examples in the README file make now use of the function parameter to make it more obvious what the different parameters are for :wink:
Doc
P.S.: Apart from the Readme file, no new functions were added
-
I have installed this snippet on a website and I am experiencing some odd behaviour which someone may be able to explain.
The length of the text quoted in the display can be set in the function call to a particular number of characters. I have noticed that this number appears to include any html tags in the short text entry eg if for instance a particular string is tagged as say h4 - <h4>xxxxxxxxxxx</h4> the count includes the <h4> and if the number, say 15, is less than the total number of characters, 20 in this case, the closing tag isn't included. This can result in a serious error in the html code for the page and cause major problems with the overall page display.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there any solution apart from not using formating in the short text entry? In which case the FCK editor should not be available for that input box as it encourages editors to use it.
Any comments appreciated.
Mike

I have addressed this issue above. Please make sure that you have the current version. If you do, please give an URL where to look at the problem.
-
I have a question i really hope someone can help me with.
If I add a image in the "short" section of a news item I can get that to show in anynews, but the problem is that it doesnt look good at all.
I want it to look like this.
http://www.magnuslofdahl.com/img_share/anynews_format.jpg
Is this possible? and how, where do I start.
This is the page I want to change, the news section at the bottom.
http://www.stylingutbildningen.se/
Please some advise would have been worth alot.
-
I get an error message with the second link.
You can create a custom layout by editing the "custom_output_displ ay_mode_4.htt" file in the htt subfolder of AnyNews. All AnyNews placeholders are described there. You can also add your very own template file to the htt subfolder. See the help file for more information about this.

Hi there,
I have a little problem.
I wanted to add a bit of code in order not to display the title "Nouvelles" and the corresponding DIV when there's no news to display. I tried both ways below without success. The echo doesn't display at all, even if there's some news to display and I don't understand why... :?
First try:
<!-- Display News -->
<?php
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
$test = displayNewsItems(0,3, 160, 1, $lang_id, $strip_tags, $allowed_tags, $custom_placeholder, $sort_by, $sort_order, $not_older_than);
if ($test != "")
{
echo '<div id="menunews" style="display:block;">';
echo '<a href="http://prix-excellence.com/pages/nouvelles.php">Nouvelles</a>';
displayNewsItems(0,3, 160, 1, $lang_id, $strip_tags, $allowed_tags, $custom_placeholder, $sort_by, $sort_order, $not_older_than);
echo '</div>';
}
}
?>
Second try:
<!-- Display News -->
<?php
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
$test = displayNewsItems(0,3, 160, 1, $lang_id, $strip_tags, $allowed_tags, $custom_placeholder, $sort_by, $sort_order, $not_older_than);
if ($test != "")
{ ?>
<div id="menunews" style="display:block;">
<a href="http://prix-excellence.com/pages/nouvelles.php">Nouvelles</a>
<?php
displayNewsItems(0,3, 160, 1, $lang_id, $strip_tags, $allowed_tags, $custom_placeholder, $sort_by, $sort_order, $not_older_than);
?>
</div>
<?php
}
}
?>

Hello,
I wonder if there is no way to output just the date (w/o time) with this snippet.
Or did I overseen a parameter to call?
Regards,
Stefek
-
See $LANG['DATE_FORMAT'] in the language module(s)
-
Could you please explain a little further?
Where to see and how to change in the snippet.
I hardcoded a change for myself in the inlcude.php of the snippet and produced a new PLACEHOLDER for the output. It works good for me, but I think there is a better way without changing the snippet files?
Regards,
Stefek
-
There are language modules (DE.php, ...) in the languages subfolder of the module. Just open one of your choice and set the array key DATE_FORMAT to the format you wish to use.
There is no parameter.

Thanks Bianka!

Hello people, I just downloaded this snippet and made it work like I want. Since I will be using this mostly in Serbia I made language modification because of clients. So here it is... name the file RS.php (Republic of Serbia) our internet domain is .rs and because of our characters save it as UTF-8 or whatever.
Thank you again!

Hm I maybe have a problem :| its probably something easy but...
This is my code
$group_id = 0, $max_news_items = 10,$max_news_length = 251, $display_mode = 1, $lang_id = 'AUTO',
$strip_tags = true, $allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>', $custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 1, $sort_order = 1, $not_older_than = 0)
with $max_news_length = 251, whole message is there no nead for cutting even image from short story is there, and everything is nice like on next picture (I put this psichedelic colors for easyer understanding)
Gray color is background color for all the <p> in div anynews.
(http://www.hammerproduction.net/newsa/maxlength251.jpg)
After that I made a change in $max_news_length = 250 , so the script have to cut the message and make it shorter. I change setting just for 1 character! from 251 to 250.
The image disapear from short story.
Link of that image is counted in that 250 characters (you can see there is no 1 character missing but the half of text), and gray zone iz gone, so I guess <p> disapered somehow.
(http://www.hammerproduction.net/newsa/maxlength250.jpg)
I take back the maxlength setting to fit the whole short story or put it to -1 and everything is like on picture 1 nice and clean.
Is there some way I can make this to work or I'm just stupid :)
Sorry for long post but I wanted to bring as more info as I can.

Ok, I'm trying to fix this I never used PHP, I saw today the output part of html. When script is using new added code for shortening the long text:
// New code; break at word boundary
html output is displayed like this
<img width="220" height="60"only text is displayed no image because html dont understand this...
When script doesnt shorten the txt i got the code like this and everything is fine
<p><img width="220" height="60"So... I figured out that decoding is somewhere lost, I searched on google for PHP decode... and added one line of code in script
function wordwrap2( $str, $width = 75, $break = '\n', $cut = true ) {
$str = html_entity_decode( $str ); //first decode
$out = wordwrap( $str, $width, $break, $cut ); //now wordwrap
$out = htmlentities( $out ); //re-encode the entities
// I added
// $out = html_entity_decode( $out );
// end of my adding
$out = str_replace( htmlentities( $break ), $break, $out ); //put back the break
// return the first line
$temp = explode( $break, $out );
return $temp[0];
}
?>Now everything is nice BUT now when there is in html code it is displayed with some strange ascii black and white questionmark. And now I'm stuck again...

Thank you very much for the serbian language file. I will include it with the next release.
You may want to try the truncate() method you can find at
http://209.85.135.132/search?q=cache:byzMdc5_BK8J:https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/2306+php+truncate+string+html&cd=2&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de&client=firefox-a
(Google cache, as the ticket seems to be not available anymore.)
Please note that you will have to edit the truncate()-call, too. (Line 222 ff)
-
Thank you for your answer, oh... I'm not so familiar with PHP jet, what I manage do to is delete this line from the include.php code
$str = html_entity_decode( $str ); //first decode
and add this line
$out = html_entity_decode( $out );
is now converted in blank space, all lattin characters are there, all cyrilic characters are there all pictures from short story are there.
But I dont think I can just like that delete some line of the code and everything work.
So please tell me if this what I did is not safe or something.

Hello!

No. It's not called NextEvents. :-D
Edit: You may want to try this droplet. It creates a month calendar and takes/links the events from Event Calendar 1.8c.

Hi all
Just installed anynews and I'm astonished by all the functionalities includes: Cool! Congratulation to this great module.
Now, I have two little questions regarding this module:
1. Parameters
I have opened a "code section" on one of my pages. If I put in the code:
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems();
}
everything works fine. As soon as I change to eg.
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(display_mode = 1,);
}
it is not working anymore (means there is no news shown on the page anymore). What am I doing wrong here? :?
2. No long content
Some of my news do not have a long content but the "read more" link is shown in any case. Is there a possibility that the "read more" link is only shown if there is a long content for this particular news?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

@webbird: auf der bonsai-seite scheint die foldergallery schön sortierbar zu sein.

Nö. Von Hand in der Datenbank gefummelt. :-D
-
As soon as I change to eg.
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(display_mode = 1,);
}
it is not working anymore (means there is no news shown on the page anymore).
There are two errors in that code:
1. The parameters are positional. This means you will have to add all parameters _before_ $display_mode, too.
2. You missed the $ in front of display_mode.
See here:
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = 0,
$max_news_items = 2,
$max_news_length = 200,
$display_mode = 5,
$lang_id = 'DE',
$strip_tags = false,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 1,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0
);
So, in your case, the correct code would be:
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = 0,
$max_news_items = 2,
$max_news_length = 200,
$display_mode = 1
);
}
Just use the default values for the params you do not wish to set explicitly. (See docs for defaults.)
2. No long content
Some of my news do not have a long content but the "read more" link is shown in any case. Is there a possibility that the "read more" link is only shown if there is a long content for this particular news?
This is hardcoded in the output template. So there's no simple way to do this at the moment. You could only remove that part from the template, but it will be missing then if there's long content, too.

So here's v1.14 for testing. :-D
* fix: replaced function to truncate long text with a (hopefully) better one
* added Serbian language file (RS.php) contributed by forum member "Mirens"
* no "read more" link shown if there's no "long text" in the news entry
Note: If you wish the "read more" link to appear in any case, remove the <!-- BEGIN readmore_link_block --> and <!-- END readmore_link_block --> block markers from the template.
I will upload this version to AMASP when I'm sure it works, so please check it out. :-D

Wow, cool, herzlichen Dank für's schnelle Anpassen!
That looks perfect to me.
Regarding the missing "$" in my code: I just copied the code from the http://www.websitebakers.com/media/amasp_uploads/anynews_help_en.html (http://www.websitebakers.com/media/amasp_uploads/anynews_help_en.html). There are no "$" in the code.
However, many thanks for your help with that!

Hm, maybe they (the $) are not really important, while the position of the param is, anyway. :-D

I've upgraded AnyNews at AMASP.

Hi Bianka
after registration on a site I get the following parsing error::
Fatal error: Call to undefined method wb::preprocess() in /var/www/web128/html/modules/anynews/include.php on line 194
WB 2.8
Anynews 1.12
It is curious, that this happens only after registration, the site is running well on all other pages (seems that the page stops while redirectimg, the registration is successful).
Any idea?

Uhm, what do you mean saying "registration"?
-
mmhh
use the registration function with a droplet login box.
Hope this helps.

I tried to reproduce this error, but it works for me. Tested with "All CSS" template. If you have a non-production copy of the site, try to use another template.
You can also try to add this code to include.php:
// register outside variables
global $wb, $database;
// AFTER ADD
if ( ! is_object( $wb ) ) {
require_once(WB_PATH.'/framework/class.frontend.php');
// Create new frontend object
$wb = new frontend();
}
-
Included posted code in include.php of anynews (1.14.) but no effect.
Same error appears.
Any additional idea?

Hi,
the Anynews function call shown in the info section of AMASP seems to be corrupt. Think it has to do with the allowed tags <a>. Think a small bug in the edit dialoge of the module used.
http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/code-snippets/listings/anynews.php
Maybe the missing $ can be added to the README files with the next update.
Regards Doc

Yes, I noticed it yesterday too.
Hope that Aldus will correct this soon.
Thanks for posting.

@all who are interested in this:
https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,409.msg110386.html#msg110386
It was a bug in xfast_Template_2 and had nothing to do with anynews.........tho ugh it seems to have on the first impression.
Thanks to Webbird and Aldus for quick help.

Hm ...
I've update the modul "informati0n" at AMASP to leave html-source inside a
pre tag uninterpreted, e.g.
<pre class="code">
<ul id="myGallery" class="image-overlay">
<li>
<a href="http://www.domain.tld">
<img alt="Image 1" src="yourimages/Image1.jpg"/>
<div class="caption">
<h3>My Image</h3>
<p>click for more info</p>
</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</pre>
by replacing the opening braked < to his hex-entity < .
So you can (now) display source inside the description/information fields
like shown at
http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/code-snippets/various/image-overlay.php
Also replaced the $ char to avoid PHP-Conflicts in examples, like "var $xyz is not defined" ...

I have more pages (and sections) with the module News. But I use not Groups by News module.
How can I use Anynews to display newsitems from certain pages or section?
How can I change the code?
More thanks!
-
I've been asking about possibility to view the posts in "most commented" order:
https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,16548.0.html (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,16548.0.html)
I quess this is possible with Anynews, by modifying include.php. My coding skills are limited, so could somebody give me a hint?
sort_by... 5:= number of comments
-
Hmmm... This requires a more complex SQL query, as the comments are stored in another table. You will have to modify the query (lines 127ff), or add another one especially for the comments count.
Are there any other ones interested in this feature?
-
Please try the include.php attached. Be sure to make a backup copy of the original include.php before trying this one.
Edit: Removed attachment. New version available at AMASP. http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/code-snippets/listings/anynews.php
-
Seems to work. It would be good to display number of comments after the date in news list.
-
Seems to work. It would be good to display number of comments after the date in news list.
I thought you would suggest this. Try COMMENTS markup. ;) (Custom Template)
-
Just can't understand how to add number of comments to custom templates :oops:
-
Just add {COMMENTS} to the template you use at the position you wish.
-
Not working. Do I need to add some custom placeholder also?
I tried adding <tt>COMMENTS: </tt>{COMMENTS}<br /> in custom_output_displ ay_mode_4.htt
-
Do you USE that template? (Param $display_mode in displayNewsItems call.)
-
Maybe this helps...
If you do not set $display_mode, the default is 'detailed output'. The template file for 'detailed output' is htt/detailed_output.htt.
Here's the content of that file:
<div class="anynews">
<h2>{TXT_HEADER}</h2>
<!-- BEGIN news_block -->
<p><strong>{TITLE} {POSTED_WHEN}</strong></p>
{CONTENT_SHORT}
<!-- BEGIN readmore_link_block -->
<p><a href="{LINK}">{TXT_READMORE}</a></p>
<!-- END readmore_link_block -->
<hr />
<!-- END news_block -->
</div>
Just add the markup {COMMENTS} to that file. Example:
<div class="anynews">
<h2>{TXT_HEADER}</h2>
Number of comments: {COMMENTS}<br />
<!-- BEGIN news_block -->
<p><strong>{TITLE} {POSTED_WHEN}</strong></p>
{CONTENT_SHORT}
<!-- BEGIN readmore_link_block -->
<p><a href="{LINK}">{TXT_READMORE}</a></p>
<!-- END readmore_link_block -->
<hr />
<!-- END news_block -->
</div>
-
Tried that, but it is not displaying the number. Only "Number of comments: " and then blank
-
Hm. Works for me. :?
Just saw that the text is outside the loop. Try this:
<div class="anynews">
<h2>{TXT_HEADER}</h2>
<!-- BEGIN news_block -->
<p><strong>{TITLE} {POSTED_WHEN}</strong></p>
Number of comments: {COMMENTS}<br />
{CONTENT_SHORT}
<!-- BEGIN readmore_link_block -->
<p><a href="{LINK}">{TXT_READMORE}</a></p>
<!-- END readmore_link_block -->
<hr />
<!-- END news_block -->
</div>
-
No help. I think that variable {COMMENTS} is not set anywhere. Do I need some custom placeholder? Or does it need to be set in include.php. Or am I totally lost here?
-
It is already set in the new include.php. But maybe I did not upload the last version. :?
Please download the new version 1.15 at AMASP and try it again.
http://www.websitebakers.com/media/amasp_uploads/anynews_v1.15.zip
Edit: Checked it out, it was missing in the include.php I provided for testing. I'm sorry. :|
-
Now it's working. Thanks, this was a very important feature for me!
-
@Webbird: Would be nice if you could also maintain/update the README file with new releases. The latest implemented options seems to be missing. Also the README on AMASP and Add-ons point to an outdated version.

Yepp. Will write that on my Todo list. But I need help with the NL readme. :roll:

Maybe i overlooked it, but when i use displayanynews with displaymode=2(only the newstitle as link) and having newsitems with only shorttext the resulting page displays the longtext wich is empty, so only the header and the footer are displayed.
Am i doing something wrong or is this the way the snippet should work?(only with long text)
@webbird, i would like to help you with the Dutch translation.

Great, Jan, thank you! Just take the help_en.html to see what's new there and missing in help_nl.html.
I'll take a look at displaymode 2 tomorrow. Promise. :-D

Hello All,
when I use the AnyNews call...
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = 2,
$max_news_items = 10,
$max_news_length = -1,
$display_mode = 1,
$lang_id = 'auto',
$strip_tags = true,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 1,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0
);
}
... on a standalone CODE page, News teasers display fine within my template.
But when I pack the same into a droplet, say "Anynews", and place it on a WYSIWYG page with [Anynews]], the News teasers appear outside (above) my WB template.
Any idea what I'm missing? I walked through this whole thread but couldn't find a clue... :?
-
Do you use "return" to return the content, or just the call? The call does an "echo", what's not what you're after when using a droplet.
-
Just the call, as shown in my code quote.
What would the droplet syntax look like with a return?
-
You will have to "catch" the output with ob_start()... etc and return it.
-
Try:
$output = NULL;
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
ob_start();
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = 2,
$max_news_items = 10,
$max_news_length = -1,
$display_mode = 1,
$lang_id = 'auto',
$strip_tags = true,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 1,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0
);
$output = ob_get_clean();
}
return $output;
You may set $output to something else but NULL, if you wish to print out an error message if the Anynews call fails, for example.
Edit: Fixed code.
-
Thanks! But...
I copied your code 1:1 to a droplet, but when used on a page, it doesn't return anything.... :?
-
Woops, sorry, it's ob_get_clean(), not ob_end_clean().
-
Ah, now it's working. Thanks a lot, WebBird!
-
@WebBird

It's not Anynews that causing this but the newsmodule itself.
For now i modified view.php(at line 450) of the news so that if the $post_long is empty the $post_short is printed otherwise the $post_long should be printed.
thanks, Jan
-
Ah. I misunderstood "resulting page". You meant the page Anynews links to, right? You can open a bug ticket for the news module if you wish. But take a look if it is an already known problem before opening a ticket.
-
I have more pages (and sections) with the module News. But I use not Groups by News module.
How can I use Anynews to display newsitems from certain pages or section?
How can I change the code?
More thanks!
This is easy to solve: You have to relace "$group_id" to "$page_id" on every position of the snippet. Tools like "InfoRapid Suchen & Ersetzen" will do this in a few seconds. If you don´t want to overwrite the original-snippet, simply rename it in the info.php to something like "anypagenews".
-
I've tried searching the forum and this thread, but can't find an answer.
I have a block in my template that currently shows three random news items (from 5 groups). The anynews code is in my index.php
Is it possible to have anynews show different content (from a single group) in this same block on certain pages? I know I can add another block and call anynews from a code section, but then the three "global" anynews items AND these specific items would show. I only want to show the specific anynews items on these pages.
I am trying to avoid having to add an anynews code section for every single page in my site.
-
I don't know if I understand you right. You wish to include AnyNews only once, but show the content of different News Sections and/or Groups depending on the current page?
-
I'll try to explain by giving an example.
Let's say I only have three pages (Home, About and Contact), and three news groups (A,B and C). And I have a right hand column block on all the pages, which is where I want the anynews to display.
On the "Home" and "Contact" pages, I want to show three random news posts, chosen from all three groups (A, B and C). But on the "About" page, I want to show three random news posts ONLY from Group C.
Currently I have the anynews call in my template index.php, and so I get three random posts pulled from all my groups. I realize that I can put anynews in a code section on each individual, but in reality I have dozens of pages, and most of them I want to have the same call (random from all groups). There are only about four pages that I want to have specific info from only one group called.
So, I am wondering if you can have a "global" anynews call in the template index.php, and then somehow over-ride it on certain pages with a 'code section call' on those pages.
Hope this makes more sense.
-
You would have to use variables, depending on the page, and use a default (random, in this case) for all pages that don't have a special setting.
So, this is the default, as quoted in the help page:
<?php displayNewsItems(
$group_id = 0,
$max_news_items = 10,
$max_news_lenght = -1,
$display_mode = 1,
$lang_id = 'auto',
$strip_tags = true,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 1,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0
);
?>
For "3 random News from all groups" you need to set $group_id to 0, $max_news_items to 3 and $sort_by to 4.
Now let's say that this is the default for all pages with no special settings, but on page "About", you would like to see 3 random News from Group 5. Let's assume that the "About" page has the ID 55.
<?php
$this_group_id = 0;
if ( PAGE_ID == 55 ) {
$this_group_id = 5;
}
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = $this_group_id,
$max_news_items = 3,
$max_news_lenght = -1,
$display_mode = 1,
$lang_id = 'auto',
$strip_tags = true,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 4,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0
);
?>
If you have lot's of pages with different settings, it will be easier to use an array instead.
<?php
$map_page_to_group = array(
55 => 5,
66 => 6,
);
$this_group_id = isset( $map_page_to_group[PAGE_ID] ) ? $map_page_to_group[PAGE_ID] : 0;
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = $this_group_id,
$max_news_items = 3,
$max_news_lenght = -1,
$display_mode = 1,
$lang_id = 'auto',
$strip_tags = true,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 4,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0
);
?>
Edit: Put this code into your index.php.
-
Thank you so much! The array approach looks like what I will be needing. I really appreciate your time and knowledge.
-
I really appreciate your time and knowledge.
Well, I like chocolate very much. :-D

Your array solution worked perfectly. Thanks again. I would send chocolate, but if you're anything like my wife who is Dutch, you prefer the GOOD chocolate to our Canadian MILK variety. :lol:

Please note that I have suspended my support for the "Anynews" code snippet effective March 24, 2010.
If someone wants to develop or maintain this code snippet any further, please feel free to do so, but keep in mind that the module is licensed under GNU GPL.
The last stable version of the module can be found on the WebsiteBaker Addons Repository.

After the Add-On File editor, the next suspension.
Is there any particular reason? Did I miss something "political"?
Did I even bet on the wrong horse by picking WBfor some major projects? :roll:
I hope not...

Of course, there is a reason, but I don't think that this should be discussed here. :roll: Maybe it helps if I mention that I also have left all WB teams.

Hi,
After the Add-On File editor, the next suspension.
Last reported AFE "issue" goes back to 25th July 2009 (Englisch thread). Last "feature request" goes back to 2009.
Some "non AFE related issues" were reported after introduction of WB 2.8.1 RC. Instead of waiting for WB 2.8.1 final to fix the problem, I decided to release an intermediate AFE version, which also fixed some "depracated warnings". In my eyes, AFE reached a "mature" level with v0.80.
As maintainance without specific requests or bug reports from the community is not very attractive to me, I decided to stop my support. Some open requests, like the possibility to edit not only WB files, would have broken my "philosophy" behind AFE and wouldn´t have made it into AFE anyway (which may change with another maintainer). There was nothing I could think off to be added to AFE in the WB 2.x line anyway
That´s basically all I have to say about this topic in the forum :-)
P.S:
However, the experience I gained is transferred into a "standalone" tool (PHP 5.3) with more flexibility (e.g. folder based navigation, definition of any folder you like), more configuration options such as filter, search and basic image transformation (crop, resize, rotate, flip).
-
Thanks for the info, doc.

Yesterday, I was asked for a solution to show the group image with AnyNews. So I created this solution:
File include.php, find line 256 ff:
// replace the news article dependend template placeholders
$tpl->set_var(array(
'WB_URL' => WB_URL,
...more code going here...
BEFORE, add:
$group_id = $row['group_id'];
$image = '';
if(file_exists(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg'))
{
$image = '<img src="'.WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.news/image'.$group_id.'.jpg'.'" alt="" />';
}
AFTER, add:
'GROUP_IMAGE' => $image,
Add the {GROUP_IMAGE} markup to the template (.htt file) you're using and you're done.
Edit: You may edit the <img> attribute to suit your needs. (Add a CSS class or something.)

Hi there,
This is a GREAT module of which I am sad I did not find it before now .. :roll:
In the custom .htt files, is it possible to rearrange the {PUBLISHED_WHEN}-{PUBLISHED_UNTIL}, so that they ONLY display the dates in question "(STARTDATE - ENDDATE)" and not as i my case "(STARTTIME, STARTDATE)- (ENDTIME, ENDDATE)"?
Currently it shows: "(11:15 AM, 07/12/2010)- (12:00 AM, 07/25/2010)" and I want to get rid of the time code.

Hello folks,
i looking for that place where the strip_tag function located.
Especially i need to remove an empty tag: from the short message content of the news modul.
any suggestions?
kirk
-
because i find the same issue in the simple page head modul which passed the unwanted empty tag i looked around and find the function str_replace
With this function i can remove selected tags.
So i extended in the simple page head modul include.php the line 103
102 $the_description = str_replace('"', '', $the_description);
103 $the_description = str_replace(' ', '', $the_description);
i couldn't find a matching place in the any news modul to achieve the result like in simple page head.
Is some one around here who take a look in the any news modul and help me out?
Kirk

Is there any trick to get something like:
$max_title_lenght = 20,Or any given number of course, not just 20 characters.
There is an option $max_news_lenght = 20,
But it would be nice to truncate the title as well so it fits neat in a certain div element.
-
i know language is used for the display, but is there a way taht only news in that language be displayed too ?
that's what I asked my self, and then modify version 1.16a like this :
in include.php
i've added the line :
(strtoupper($lang_id) == 'AUTO')?$asked_language=LANGUAGE:$asked_language=strtoupper($lang_id);after the line
loadLanguageFile($lang_id);
and the change the lines :
$join = NULL;
$fields = '*';
$group = NULL;
if ( $sort_by == 5 ) {
$join = ' LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'mod_news_comments AS t2 ON t1.post_id=t2.post_id ';
$fields = 't1.*, count(comment_id) AS comment_count';
$group = 'GROUP BY t1.post_id';
}to :
$join = 'JOIN `'.TABLE_PREFIX.'pages` AS t3 ON t3.`page_id` = t1.`page_id`';
$fields = 't1.*, t3.`language`';
$group = "AND t3.`language` = '".$asked_language."'";
if ( $sort_by == 5 ) {
$join = 'LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'mod_news_comments AS t2 ON t1.post_id=t2.post_id JOIN `'.TABLE_PREFIX.'pages` AS t3 ON t3.`page_id` = t1.`page_id`';
$fields = 't1.*, t3.`language`, count(comment_id) AS comment_count';
$group = "AND t3.`language` = '".$asked_language.'\' GROUP BY t1.post_id';
}
and it worked! now if you ask displaynews in auto on a french page, only news distributed on french pages will display!
I've attach the modified include.php of version 1.16a
modify this post to change the zip file

Just wanted to notify... I use Anynews 1.16a and had problems getting the value of the {COMMENTS} for all sort modes except mode 5. Any other mode showed an empty string as value for number of comments. It seems as the field 'comment_count' only is set for sort mode 5. I fixed this problem on my page by simply remove the if condition in include.php: :-D
Before:
...
$join = NULL;
$fields = '*';
$group = NULL;
if ( $sort_by == 5 ) {
$join = ' LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'mod_news_comments AS t2 ON t1.post_id=t2.post_id ';
$fields = 't1.*, count(comment_id) AS comment_count';
$group = 'GROUP BY t1.post_id';
}
/**
* Perform SQL database query for Anynews
*/
$table = TABLE_PREFIX . 'mod_news_posts';
...
After:
...
$join = NULL;
$fields = '*';
$group = NULL;
$join = ' LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'mod_news_comments AS t2 ON t1.post_id=t2.post_id ';
$fields = 't1.*, count(comment_id) AS comment_count';
$group = 'GROUP BY t1.post_id';
/**

Hi, Part of my users on the website use Hebrew names which.
whenever using the {DISPLAY_NAME} on anynews template it results in some odd symbols instead of Hebrew characters.
I assume it has something to do with utf8 encoding error. does anyone has an idea of how to fix this?
thanks.

I am trying to change the template for this snippet. I have created a new file custom_output_displ ay_mode_5.htt and changed the call in the $display_mode to 5. But it doesn't change the display on the page. I have tried reloading with no effect.
Any suggestions to make it work?

This has been asked before but through all my searching I haven't found an answer to it.
Is there a way to only display the "Read More" if something is entered in the long news box?
I have mostly short news snippets that don't require a long version, so clicking the read more just goes to a blank-ish page.
Many thanks to anyone who can help :)

Hi,
A bug! Yes, I found one! Probably.
Maybe this helps s.o. else who encounters this problem, maybe s.o. knows a real solution:
With any code such as ä in the text, the displayed code "lost" its surrounding <p> tags. Other special characters, like č are no problem. Only "friendly" codes.
Finally, this problem disappeared, when I set $max_news_length to -1, i.e. turned it off.
Cheers,
Ralf.

Not without php knowledge.
You would need to modify AnyNews to do that.

change the LIMIT in the MYSQL-Order in modules/anynews/include.php - Row 170
Look at this code
ORDER BY $sql_order_by $sql_sort_order
LIMIT 0, $max_news_items";
and change the LIMIT to 1
ORDER BY $sql_order_by $sql_sort_order
LIMIT 1, $max_news_items";

only one resolution: a new parameter "$min_news_items" in the function " displayNewsItem()" in modules/anynews/include.php
the new Parameter is "$min_news_items" at the End - standard is 0
here the "new" function
if (!function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
function displayNewsItems(
$group_id = 0,
$max_news_items = 10,
$max_news_length = -1,
$display_mode = 1,
$lang_id = 'AUTO',
$strip_tags = true,
$allowed_tags = '<p><a><img>',
$custom_placeholder = false,
$sort_by = 1,
$sort_order = 1,
$not_older_than = 0,
$min_news_items = 0
) {
and in the mysql-Order
$sql = "SELECT $fields FROM `$table` AS t1 $join
WHERE `active` = '1'
AND $sql_group_id
AND (`published_when` = '0' OR `published_when` <= '$server_time')
AND (`published_until` = '0' OR `published_until` >= '$server_time')
AND $sql_not_older_than
$group
ORDER BY $sql_order_by $sql_sort_order
LIMIT $min_news_items, $max_news_items";
(changed in the last row -> LIMIT $min_news_items, $max_news_items
Now you have a new parameter like
displayNewsItems(array(7,4), 4, 200,1 ,auto,'<img>','<p><a>',false, 1, 2, 0, 1);
if you use 0 or nothing, it shows
news 1 in 16/11/2012
news 2 in 13/11/2012
news 3 in 13/11/2012
news 4 in 12/11/2012
if you use 1, it shows
news 2 in 13/11/2012
news 3 in 13/11/2012
news 4 in 12/11/2012
and if you use 2, it shows
news 3 in 13/11/2012
news 4 in 12/11/2012
etc.

Geetings all.
i have on the homepage an anynews item with primary news. ( and other groups to put the items in when it is not primary any more )
On several other pages i have put some code to list sertain items.
if (function_exists('displayNewsItems')) {
displayNewsItems(
$group_id = 9 );
}
I have several of them.
Now the problem is that on the home page everyting works just fine, when i click "read more" it shows the long content.
now on all other pages when i click "read more" this will appear on the page.
[TITLE] [GROUP_IMAGE]
[PUBLISHED_DATE]
[PAGE_TITLE] >> [GROUP_TITLE]
[TEXT_LAST_CHANGED]: [MODI_DATE] [TEXT_AT] [MODI_TIME]
[TEXT_BACK]
Can someone explane what is going wrong.

Hello,
I try to revive the support of the Codesnippet "Anynews" (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,23355.msg). As this thread is quite old, long and somewhat confusing, I started a new one.
Maybe a forum admin may want to make this old thread read only, to highlight the revive of Anynews in the new thread ... Lets see if and how this will work.
Cheers
