Order News
« on: April 04, 2007, 02:24:12 AM »
Link to Mod

When using the news fader in SMF, items are displayed in the order they are entered. There has been expressed a desire to have an easy way to re-order items without tedious re-entry.

Order News adds a feature to the news administation page that lets an administrator re-order their news items as they like.


Update:

Version 1.0.1 has been released to fix a few typos in the install script. These should be non-critical so updating a working install is not needed.

Version 1.0.2 has been released to allow installs on SMF 1.1.3.

Sorry, I won't support pre-release versions of the 1.1 branch. I highly encourage you to update SMF as soon as convenient as RC2 had some bad bugs in it.

Is it possible to upgrade this mod this way

Simply put numbers in some box and than save it – Now when I have 12 news and I want to add another one in the “middle” I must click and save 6 times till I move desired news in the middle.

That is first thing – next is

Is it possible to add another category of news which will be special in a way that those has special order of displaying – like this

I create one news and I want it display every third change of a news – that will “reorder” my first 12 and I will have another special which will show every 3 times news has change. After that news start to show from beginning.

That will work in all occasions – for instance – I have 5 news and my special news will show in 3 place and in 6 etc which etc …..

I hope so I explained how this works and what I am in need for :)

The first item works the way it does because of how news is stored in the database. The data is stored so that the entries are saved in the order they are in the form.

The second one would require a complete overhaul of the news system, and I unfortunately don't have the time right now to code something that big. You are welcome to make a request for it in the mod requests board.

Do note that the news line displays a random entry each time the page is refreshed. The only thing affected by the order of the entries is the news fader.

Do you happen to be using UTF-8? If so, you'll want to copy the contents from Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php to Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php

Glad to hear it worked. If you would like to contribute localized strings for this mod, PM me with the translation and the language file name (I'll forget if you don't) and I'll add them to the next version.

Hi guys,
I get the following text show up at the top of my forums and i can seem to find where it is comming from. I thinki it has something to do with the order news mod.
 
//Order News $txt['news_move_up'] = 'Move Up'; $txt['news_move_down'] = 'Move Down'; $txt['news_warn_header'] = 'Alert:'; $txt['news_warn_body'] = 'You have changed the order of the news items. You must save for the changes to apply.';

See Forum here http://www.randomas.com/smf/index.php

Thanks OZSlayer

Sometimes mods will break the language file.

Make sure Modifications.english.php has the <?php and the ?> at the beginning and end of the file respectively, and that they each have the whole line to themselves.

Please do not post unauthorized copies of the mod without asking permission. I have removed the attachment.


Update: Added a 1.1.3-compatible version to the downloads.
