The one at extensions is not mine.

Current versions of my News/Blog module available are:
  • For OpenCart 1.5.1 to 1.5.1.2 available here
    For OpenCart 1.5.1.3(.x) available here
Both include support for SEO URLs (vQmod required).

Modules for OpenCart 2.3.0.2
Homepage Module [Free - since OpenCart 0.7.7]
Multistore Extensions

Hi,

I have this module installed - how can I update it in order to have support for SEO URL's without losing the news data?

You should try this: in vqmod/xml/news.xml file find

Code: Select all

<operation>
	<search position="replace" index="1"><![CDATA[
	if (($key == 'product_id') || ($key == 'manufacturer_id') || ($key == 'information_id')) {
	]]></search>
	<add><![CDATA[
	if (($key == 'product_id') || ($key == 'manufacturer_id') || ($key == 'information_id') || ($key == 'news_id')) {
	]]></add>
</operation>
and replace it with

Code: Select all

<operation>
	<search position="replace" index="1"><![CDATA[
	if (($data['route'] == 'product/product' && $key == 'product_id') || (($data['route'] == 'product/manufacturer/product' || $data['route'] == 'product/product') && $key == 'manufacturer_id') || ($data['route'] == 'information/information' && $key == 'information_id')) {
	]]></search>
	<add><![CDATA[
	if (($data['route'] == 'product/product' && $key == 'product_id') || (($data['route'] == 'product/manufacturer/product' || $data['route'] == 'product/product') && $key == 'manufacturer_id') || ($data['route'] == 'information/information' && $key == 'information_id') || ($data['route'] == 'information/news' && $key == 'news_id')) {
	]]></add>
</operation>
Worked for me. Opencart 1.5.1.1

Update: I found a solution to headline not showing in the module. Open catalog/controller/module/news.php file, find this string:

Code: Select all

$this->data['show_headline'] = $this->config->get('news_module_headline');
and replace it with:

Code: Select all

$this->data['show_headline'] = $this->config->get('news_headline_module');

First of all: thanks for this module, works perfect.

I have it running with OC 1.5.1.2 and vqmod-2.1.5.

Everything works as expected and also the SEO url's are showing properly.

The only thing I'm missing is the items in the 'index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap'.

Is this a bug or functionality which is not available in this module?
Is there a way to add it?

The last time I downloaded/used this extension was with 1.4.9.x or something like that... is it possible to go in and change the dates on news items? Or set things to post in future, or anything like that? I went and downloaded it from your website but there's no changelog or any info on what has changed with each new version. I would just install it on this site, but the site is live, and I'm not about to mess up something that works.

The only changes between the news/blog module between versions 1.4.9.x and 1.5.1.x were in the controllers, language and template files. The model is pretty much the same and the table structure in the database is the unchanged.

Hi,
I just installed the module and copied the language file to the default language for the store. Then I activated the module with the following settings.

No. Characters to Display on Headlines page: 200
Newspage Thumbnail Size: 50x50
Newspage Popup Size: 500x500

Show Headline in Module: Yes

Limit: 5
Layout: Home
Position: Content Top
Status: Activated
Headline: Activated
No. Characters: 200
Sort Order: 2 (Slideshow is 1)

Then I added a news item and refreshed the site. Nothing is showing. No errors, no content. It's a ghost :)

Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Thank you in advance.

Hi does anybody know how to add a thumbnail to the news headlines list - I tried in catalog/controller/module/news.tpl to add similar to catalog/controller/information/news.tpl where the image data is but to no help.

Thanks..

I have a quirk with this module. Is there a maximum number of characters can be used for a news/blog item? If so, can this be changd?

I added my 3rd news blog which was quite long and refreshed the store homepage. All the layout of the homepage was messed up. I disabled that post and everything was back to normal. I only display 200 characters in the module. I shortened the blog post and enabled it again. Everything displayed Ok on the homepage again. I tried the original post, and got the same problems with the layout.

Even though the post was long, I still only wanted to display the 200 characters in the module, but for some odd reason a long blog post will mess up the home page layout where the module is displayed.

I have an issue with this as well. The module shows up twice instead of once (as if I've placed 2 modules on each page). Any ideas as to why this is happening?

For some reason, the module doesn't show up twice any more. But now, the "Read more" link doesn't work. I'm using OC 1.5.3.1
