Hi! I really need your help.
I've bought your extension but when I make an article and click save, it gives me an error.
Notice: Error: Unknown column 'allow_comment' in 'field list'
Error No: 1054
INSERT INTO news SET allow_comment = '1', comment_permission = '0', comment_need_approval = '0', sort_order = '0', status = '1' in C:\wamp\www\system\database\mysql.php on line 49
Please help me as fast as possible.
Thanks

Hi
Just installed the mod and i'vegot a couple of errors and questions:
(Using Shoppica)
1) How do we not allow comments to be posted - is there a setting for that?
2) When i create an article i get an error on the article page:
Notice: Undefined variable: text_no_reviews in /mnt/stor7-wc2-dfw1/519214/519834/
www.cardcreationsplus.co.uk/web/content ... omment.tpl on line 11
3) The child categories don't appear in the page if i click on the main category (Help & Support at
http://www.cardcreationsplus.co.uk.php5 ... tlink.com/)
4) The SEO urls don't appear to be working?
5) The "Show" drop down for the number of articles is a bit messed up, shows 10 and then 10 underneath it in the drop down, but not when you select 20 or more.
6) The article count doesn't show if it is selected in the settings
7) The show create date isn't selected but the date is shown on the article
Probably the same with the modify date as well.
Can you let me know what to do?
thanks
Simon

Is there a way that I can I order the articles on the category page so the latest article appears at the top, instead of the oldest?
search this part inside the catalog/controller/news/category.php
Code: Select all
// News All
if (isset($this->request->get['sort'])) {
$sort = $this->request->get['sort'];
$url .= '&sort=' . $this->request->get['sort'];
} else {
$sort = 'n.sort_order, nd.date_added';
}
if (isset($this->request->get['order'])) {
$order = $this->request->get['order'];
$url .= '&order=' . $this->request->get['order'];
} else {
$order = 'ASC';
}
replace some of them with:
Code: Select all
} else {
$sort = 'nd.date_added';
}

Hi,
How do I correctly add a link to the main news page in the footer? The title of the link can't be hard coded - it needs to be dynamic so the 'news' title changes depending on what store language is selected.
I added this line in template/common/footer.tpl:
Code: Select all
<li><a href="http://mysite.com/news"><?php echo $text_news; ?></a></li>
Then I added this line to catalog/controller/common/footer.php ?
Code: Select all
$this->data['text_news'] = $this->language->get('text_news');
This sort of works, but not fully. The correct 'news' title appears on the home page and product pages, but on other pages it just shows text_news.
I'm a front end designer so php is not my strong point. If you could help with this it would be great!
Thanks.

hi yoyoyomar, fews question:
1. where is "
http://mysite.com/news" link to? if it is link to news category, or an article, why don't you get it title?
2. where are you put the "$text_news", according what you did, you use this text in the footer.php, so the better place to put this text is inside the file catalog/language/your_language/common/footer.php
problems with installation

Hi!
I have installed your extension and I have to say it is not evident to install.
I have followed all steps and have now the "news" section in the admin site. I have installed the modules "Blog Category", "Article Box", "Tag Related Article" and "Tag Related Product". User groups access has been provided.
I have then added the blogs category module in the content bottom of my home.
Now, when I add a new category in the "news" section of admin, it tells me "Notice: Error: Unknown column 'n.sort_order' in 'order clause'
Error No: 1054
SELECT DISTINCT n.* , nd.* FROM news n LEFT JOIN news_description nd ON (n.news_id = nd.news_id) LEFT JOIN news_to_store n2s ON (n.news_id = n2s.news_id) LEFT JOIN news_to_category n2c ON (n.news_id = n2c.news_id) WHERE nd.language_id = '1' AND n.status = '1' AND n2s.store_id = '0' AND n2c.news_category_id = '2' ORDER BY n.sort_order ASC, nd.date_added ASC LIMIT 0,5 in /homepages/24/d391052056/htdocs/public_html/system/database/mysql.php on line 49"
What can I do?
What should be the first steps after the user groups access were provided?
Thanks for your help
Michael

hi, can you send me the link to your site?
did you use the other news extension before?
if your old news extension contain not important info, you can try to uninstall the extension database by these step:
[uninstall]
1. Upload all the file to the installed OpenCart folder.
2. Rename /install/uninstall.sql to /install/cms.sql
3. Uninstall database: Open page: http://[opencart address]/install/cms.php

I was playing around with this extension. It does not show articles or categories at top menu. I could not figure it out.
I have setup categories and also tried with sub categories within the main category and assigned articles within them.
The articles are displayed in the main content area but not showing anything in the menu.
I am using v2.0.8 for OpenCart 1.5.2.
Can someone help?

Hi!
Could you please let me know how I could make sure that the search results per article follow a specific layout? In my case, the layout that the product search follows is different than the article search and that makes it weird
Thanks
