Tried opening news_block.tpl and changing "{INDEX_FILE}" to "/"



De.scription and Message

This is the first time I've ever decided to use the "News Block" on my portal.

After using the "Announcements" block and discovering that it does absolutely nothing I tried out the news block like integrmod uses.

But every link on there points to the wrong spot.

For instance on the topic title itself it tries to go to "http://www.black-fusion.com/forum/www.black-fusion.com/forum/portal.php?topic_id=36"

instead of "http://www.black-fusion.com/portal.php?topic_id=36"

I tried going into the block itself and changing the variable to a slash but that doesn't work

Where can I change the variable itself or what changes where that points to?

... I just thought of trying ././ instead of / Im going to try that real fast...

Ok, well that works sort of... but just a cheap fix...

anyone have any ideas?

Bump <img>

Maybe this help
open /includes/news.php
Find: (complete line is longer)

Code: Select all

'READ_MORE_LINK' => ($show_abstract && $trimmed) ? '

Replace complete line with
[code]                    'READ_MORE_LINK' => ($show_abstract && $trimmed) ? '<a><img></a>' ]

After this change the read more buttons should work right.

Edit Removed because I never found out of it was just my server. This is to avoid messing anyone else's site up do to my problem.

Also, while I'm messing with this section of integramod I'm going to show how to change the title of the news mod for other member's who might want it

-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------

/forum/blocks/language/lang_xx/lang_news_block.php

-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------

Code: Select all

 Find] = 'Integra News';  

-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------

Code: Select all

 Find] = 'Your News Title';  

-----[ SAVE, CLOSE ]------------------------------------------

none of these help me.
i am getting: http://www.irish-paintball.net/forum/?topic_id=665

the '?' is in the wrong place is it not? I have the trim turned on.

If you are certain your news settings are correct and it's only your 'read more link' that's messing up, have you tried simply uploading a fresh includes/news.php?

Just out of curiosity, under this code:

Code: Select all

         $this->setBlockVariables( 'articles', array(  

does your includes/news.php have this line at the end of variable listing underneath?

[code]                    'READ_MORE_LINK' => ($show_abstract && $trimmed) ? '<a><img></a>' ]

Genuis, its works now.

The code that i had was:

Code: Select all

'READ_MORE_LINK' => ($show_abstract && $trimmed) ? '<a><img></a>' : ''  

Cheers:)

there is nothing wrong with the default files unless you have edited them. You change the location of the links in acp/News Managment/configuration

if your forum files are in root, the link should be

News Mod Base URL= http://www.yoursite.com/

if your forum is in a subdirectory, such as "forum" it should be


News Mod Base URL= http://www.yoursite.com/forum/

News Mod Index File = portal.php

I came across this thread after one of my users noticed that none of the news page, category, or archive links worked anymore. It would just reload portal.php. I tried everything here, but it didn't work. I had cached the news block following advice from another thread (it was for 48 hours) I changed it to no cache and all the links worked again. Just thought I would tack that on in case someone else has a similar problem. I was pulling my hair out over this one.
