[UPDATE]OPExtensions - CMS Blog System

Hi Jimmy

I have purchased this module and have been very impressed with it so far. I have a question though:

Say I have 2 categories of articles, News and Reviews. Is it possible to define a different layout for each category, so for example, when I'm looking at a News article, I can have a list of News articles in the right-hand column, but when I'm looking at a Review, I get a list of Reviews in the right-hand column?

Thanks for your good work.

Also, how should I customise the stylesheet for the News pages? There is a stylesheet at /catalog/view/news/global.css but there are also stylesheet definitions in the .tpl files in /view/theme/default/news. And some classes aren't defined anywhere at all, such as "articlemodule".

I want to make sure my customisations are not overwritten by any updates to Opencart, or to the CMS module.

Thanks for any help.

Is it vqmod'ed or it doesn't need to?

If you're referring to my site, no it is not. Should it be?

Thank narrowly on the interest of both of you with this module .

I think the two modules in News CMS system is not enough for you to do this, and I think it's a great idea for me to write add a new module and integrated into, I will do it in 1-2 days and you will be the first to get the result, module sold many copies, but I get very little feedback to build it into a module is easy to use wicks anyone, and they desired

or maybe it's a very good job, but the suggestions or feedback of your own is the basis and motivation for long-term development of this particular module and OpenCart general, if possible I want the session Version 1.6 of OpenCart will be used as default News module

Also, how should I customise the stylesheet for the News pages? There is a stylesheet at /catalog/view/news/global.css but there are also stylesheet definitions in the .tpl files in /view/theme/default/news. And some classes aren't defined anywhere at all, such as "articlemodule".

you any peace of mind. News Module I think it is a core system rather than a normal module, you can customize it and create many different genres for example page : http://www.bestofthecoast.com.au/

I only intervene in the default template and create template for cms news, if you have a different template you need to coppy and redesign this .

I try not to intervene in the system except OpenCart header.php to get information about the menu and re-arranged it, if you do not want to use it, you may not need, but News and CMS is or not cause any significant problems

Is it vqmod'ed or it doesn't need to?

I've worked with vqmod'ed and I think vqmod'ed may be better if the two: as usual module, and for vqmod , but also a number of limitations vqmod basis to write complex code ,but I will considering moving two or more modules of vqmod in the near future

thanks again! (My english not good if you do not understand the sympathy for me)

Thanks for the reply Jimmy, your english is better than my vietnamese!

I had a look at http://www.bestofthecoast.com.au/ - how did they create one layout for Recipes (catid=1) and a totally different one for News & Blogs (catid=2)? I want to do this on my site...

I look forward to the new module.

ok. Maybe I should have asked this instead. Does this extension(s) override any files?

Hi Jimmy

I have found a bug: If you change News Article > Design tab > Layout override to a new value, it does not set the value. When you return to the setting, the dropdown list has the default value.

thank for this bug

<?php if (isset($news_layout[0]) && $news__layout[0] == $layout['layout_id']) { ?>

How do seo urls look like when enabled from .htaccess is there always the word "news" or "article" in the url? I like to use the CMS for custom pages like http://www.webshop.com/service/service-one will this be possible?

yes ! all possible

if you wanna url like http://youwebsite/category/article

when creat new categories in admin you must type SEO Keyword:, same in article

the Url rewrite same in demo page : http://optheme.com/Reviews/Acer Aspire/Related product in article

I'm interested in using your extension for articles only . Is it possible not to show comments section and not allow comments from customers.

Well, in the article you can choose to agree or disagree comment? You can even choose the comment function to be approved before display, everything you want!
