The first image is of the column module.

The second image shows you having set 120 characters to display on the headlines page.

How many characters did you set for the module?

Not an error, just an omission.

Module has been updated to include an option to display or not display the headline in the module.

It's working A-OK for me, except that the headlines don't show up in the module when they are enabled in admin.

Thanks in advance!

I can't get this to work. I am not using the default template so I have uploaded the files to my template and edited the link to my template name. I can see the box with news blog it say's read more but there is nothing in it and it does not link to anything. What am I missing?

Hi
I'm running version: 1.5.1.1 and I'm getting really strange problems if I add an image, table or anything other than plain text to each news.
(The "read more" link doesn't work, the images don't display and if I add a table the entire web page looses its structure even on the home page.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know if someone has already done it... So, I've slightly modified the new.xml file (VQMod XML) to allow it to work on OpenCart 1.5.1.3.

Looks like that from the prior 1.5.1.x versions the seo_url.php file has been changed, and as result the XML file was requiring some update to be brought back to action... :crazy:

So, get it here and enjoy this module once again working, now on OpenCart 1.5.1.3... ;D

It will depend if the file seo_url.php has changed from the version 1.5.1.2 to the 1.5.1.3 or not.

However, you can just try it! There is no risk of damage if it doesn't work... However, you may need to check the VQ Mod Logs to assure no errors will occur. That was how I've realized the original module was failing on my 1.5.1.3...

Headlines do not show in the module for me, regardless of whether the headline radio is on or off.

Anyone else got this?
