Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

nobody knows why? Please help me

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

Um... How doesn't it work? Does it give out an error? Or nothing happens? What cutenews version you have?

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

Dear User!

Please try using the line   

$category = isset($_GET['category'])? $_GET['category'] : false;

before

$ucat = (!isset($_GET['ucat']))? $category : $ucat;

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

I tried this. And it works. But there are problems with multiple include of my news. Once I used the hack for multiple category and the Supprot Team's suggestion adding $category = isset($_GET['category'])? $_GET['category'] : false; in show_news.php file, on my include page, my posts are shown wrongly... what can I do?

Dear User!

Unfortunately, our programmers weren't able to reproduce your problem. Please would you provide us some more details about that? Maybe, any screenshots would be very helpful to clarify your issues.

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

this is the screenshot of my home page before I add the hack:

http://marnevi.altervista.org/Cattura.JPG

After, once I add the hack and I used

$category = isset($_GET['category'])? $_GET['category'] : false;

before

$ucat = (!isset($_GET['ucat']))? $category : $ucat;

this is how my home page shows my posts (wrongly)

http://marnevi.altervista.org/Cattura2.JPG

Please take note that using

$category = isset($_GET['category'])? $_GET['category'] : false;

full story works fine, but it doesn't allow me to show right my multiple includes post in home page.

Dear User!

Please would you consider this link http://www.pasqualemarinelli.com/index.php...n=showheadlines and confirm whether the page looks in accordance to your request, or not?
Do you see here all the topics and links in order you wanted?

Best regards,
CN Support team

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

I tried but nothing change. Whether the page doesn't look in accordance to my request. It's the same of the second screenshot... ufff. What else can I do?

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

no solution????

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

the way i use multiple includes is the create external pages with the news in and then include them (for example main.php could have your main category included and sidebar.php could have additional news, then you use php includes for the individual pages in the specific parts of your page)

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

no solution????

Dear User!

Please would you send us the code of your main page,  or a part of code your try modifying by using this hack? This would clarify the problem for us.

Best regards,

Of course.. this is the first source code of include commande I use in index.php at the center part of my home page:

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

Dear User!

Our programmers have recently considered your web site and weren't able to discover any problem with the multiple includes on your main web page. They also have considered your code and found out some minor bugs there and fixed them. Here is your code with some improvements.

The central area:

<?PHP

$include_id = "101"; //Inserisci un ID UNICO a tua scelta e diverso dagli altri INCLUDE

if (isset($_SERVER['CUTE_INCLUDEID']) && $_SERVER['CUTE_INCLUDEID']) $srvicludeid = $_SERVER['CUTE_INCLUDEID']; else $srvicludeid = false;
if ($srvicludeid != $include_id )
{
     unset($start_from);
     unset($subaction);
     $_SERVER['CUTE_INCLUDEID'] = $include_id;
}

/* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Here we decide what page to include
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ */

if($_POST['do'] == "Cerca" or $_GET['dosearch'] == "yes"){ $subaction = "search"; $dosearch = "yes"; include("./a/search.php"); }
elseif($_GET['do'] == "archives"){ include("./a/show_archives.php"); }
elseif($_GET['do'] == "chisono"){ include("./chisono.php"); }
elseif($_GET['do'] == "plugin"){ include("./plugin.php"); }
elseif($_GET['do'] == "help"){ include("./help.php"); }
elseif($_GET['do'] == "comerss"){ include("./comerss.php"); }
elseif($_GET['do'] == "search"){ include("./a/search.php"); }

else{ $category = "1,2,3,4"; $number = "5";
include("./a/show_news.php"); }

?>


The right part

<?PHP

$include_id = "102"; //Inserisci un ID UNICO a tua scelta e diverso dagli altri INCLUDE

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

I tried but no improvement! But I've understand what is the exact problem. The show_news.php page, with the hack added, doesn't allow to show, in my home page, the news like I want. It ignore the customization of every my multiple include commande about the categories to display.

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

Please try the following:

Replace the code

else{ $category = "1,2,3,4"; $number = "5";
include("./a/show_news.php"); }

with

else{ 
if (!$_GET['category'] && $_GET['category'] != '1,2,3,4') $category = "1,2,3,4"; 
$number = "5";
include("./a/show_news.php"); }

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

I tried. But doesn't change anything... What else can I do, please?

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

Tell us the exact purpose that it should be. Do you have a home page that displays a news from the category of 1,2,3,4 - it's all right? To the right built-in code that displays the news from category 9, too, all right? Now you have the main page displays all true. I would like to know which URL you enter and that there appears not the case. Or to do so on the main page display category 1,2,3 or others? Then just need to enter the $category = "1,3,4", etc.

The point here is apparently not in the hack, which works fine, but something completely different.

22

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

Btw, as long as

$category = isset($_GET['category'])? $_GET['category'] : false;


is in there, there will be some problems, as there is no "category" in the url, its ucat... So I suggest removing that, if you still have it.

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

if I remove from show_news.php this:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>$category = isset($_GET['category'])? $_GET['category'] : false;</div>
I can't see full story of my news. With that, I can.
It should show the news exactely as lisenek has written. Adding the hack, main page displays my news like I want. Intially full story didn't work. So I added in show_news.php the code above and now full story works fine. But my main page doesn't display news as lisenek has described. It ignore the customization of every my multiple include commande about the categories to display, showing wrongly all categories for each multiple include commande on main page.
@lisenek: which URL do you want?

24

Re: This hack doesn't work. Help me

https://cutephp.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif
Problem is that the right side news does not show the full story, right? Well, the central area shows news form categories 1 2 3 4, while the right side news are from category 9. See the problem? https://cutephp.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

Using

$category = isset($_GET['ucat'])?$_GET['ucat']:'1,2,3,4';


instead of

$category = "1,2,3,4";


might just work

And don't use

$category = isset($_GET['category'])? $_GET['category'] : false;


Basicly it tries to find a none existent $_GET['category'], and when it does not find it, it gives $category "false" value (disables it). This is why the full story works, as there are no categories set, but why every categories are shown...
