Is this correct? I have made a Cutenews driven website. It is working using CKEditor to enter news items. It is not necessary to acesss Cutenews program files, so if that is correct PHP need not be updated?

I have been having trouble with copying and pasting Word documents to Cutenews. Background: could not upgrade Cutenews had to pay extra for hosting earlier version of PHP as seven does not work on my version of Cutenews. I have found that the width of a table has not be recognized by Cutenews.  The document has text content as well as table content.  Now I find that if I just add a table to word and try to copy and paste it to Cutenews the system does not provide anything. If the Word document ver 2016 has a table with textual content Cutenews will display that content in Source view that strips the table content. Workaround, type the data into a Cutenews table. Issue lot of work.  Back to PDF files. Shame that the user needs to use Cutenews as the means to create and publish news when the obvious tool is to use Microsoft Word to produce copy.

Hi Stuck on this one. I have a category "let hand side" and it has started to generate duplicate entries. Initially I found that one post was appearing in two different locations. I removed that post and that left duplicate entries. I did not make any multi category entries.  The posts are in a single column on the left hand side of my Home page.  www.southwickwilts.co.uk It may have to do with copying and pasting from MS Word.

update I have been trying all sorts of variations eg, making new categories for the ones that might be at fault. I do not have duplicate posts now but the post September Minutes also displays in the left hand column.  If I type anything into that category using CKEditor it also appears in the left hand column! So its not the copy from a Word file that is the issue, although something might have damaged CuteNews (2.0.2) from the Word file.

UPDATE;  I have solved the second part of the issue now - that is duplication of the Sept Minutes. I have a small box above the main content for the left hand side. At present it is a place holder for a category news stcky.  I had inadvertantly erased the $category setting. Once I added a $category the duplicate post disappeared.  I hope this post has been usefull

I have managed to upgrade from 1.4.6 to 2.1.2 but all the existing posts are being displayed as HTML. I have posted a new message and that is OK.

UPDATE 11th June:  I have found that I can enter any of my existing news items to CKEDitor to edit and if I just select Edit which saves the version changed or unchanged the resulting news item is rendered correctly. So I could take all my published news and feed them into CKEditor.  The trouble with this is that I have over 80 categories and a lot of news items. 

Something is wrong with the upgrade and so far as my searches are concerned the issue is unique. Perhaps there is something wrong with the coding on the website being what was originally a Micrsoft Front page product.

I have another Cutenews 1.4.6 website that needs to be pgraded and I must get the issues sorted before I proceed any further. So I would be very pleased to get help. Thanks! Website: www.freshfordsomerset.co.uk

Some of the news items on the Home page of my website are plain text added directly to the page so do not show the HTML tags.

UPDATE 18TH JUNE 2019 I have gone through all the posts and saved them in CKEditor as I had no alternative suggested to me. It was not difficult just tiring.  Search not working now. I get a using full path to show news error.  Can't find where the show news statment comes in search.php or sitesearch.php and I have the search button on my Home page and it stilll appears to be isolated from any show news statment.  Pagination issues with multiple posts on the same page. I thought the pagination issue was fixed in  CN 2.1.2 ?

UPDATE 19TH JUNE I have found that I had a search.php file in HTDOCS and that only the one in CuteNews should be on the website. Unfortunately, its removal does not allow Search to work.

Hi This is the message I get its a new installation and everything seemed fine I set up some categories and posted my first article. It was accepted but didn't appear on my webpage. I checked my coding and it wa free of erors. On inspection in CuteNews/cdata/news I found this file 2019-05-04.php. In the file I had this code: <?php die('Direct CAll - access denied');?> followed by a lot of meaning less stuff.

Hard to believe that on the include to show_news I forgot to add quotation marks to the path!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark

Hi I have decided to install cutenews 2.1.2 on a basic website. I had previously uploaded 2.0.1. I deleted all the 2.0.1 folders and uploaded the 2.1.2 folders. Edit: I am hoping that the website as its developing will  not crash under PHP 7.

I can't get it to go into the procedure to allow access.  The Cutenews folder is set to 707. When I go to myweb/cutenews nothing happens. Edit: what does going to the cutenews folder actually do? Is there a program waiting to run?

I do not think that all the Cutenews folders have been uploaded. I'll check the download and upload any missing. Well I have uploaded the directory again and had to also upload some that were missed out.  Still no luck.

Edit: the site has a Unix server and is set to PHP 7.

There is no reference in the readme to how to run the installer. I checked my earlier versions of Cutenews and found that (in 1.5. beta) to go to mywebsite/cutenews/index.php  I altered the directory CuteNews as downloaded to cutenews just in case that is an issue with title caps No difference.  So I am stuck.  Since in 15 years I have only installed Cutenews on three websites is it any wonder that I had forgotten how to get the installer running.

Firefox does nothing, MS Edge gives an HTTP 500 error as does Chrome.

On contacting the host there was a fatal php error. On inspection some sub-directories were missing from the upload.  After several attempts to ensure that all the directories were uploaded the installation went ahead. I had used Acebit FTP 8 as my software to upload files and had not had this issue before. Do not know whether Windows 10 complicated issues. Slow upload speed?

NB  If anyone else has had a failure of the software to upload a complete directory (not just CuteNews) from uploading completely I would like to hear from them. Software used: Wise FTP 8 and Avast free edition.  Thanks.

Hi Trying to find deprecated code that will result in failure under PHP 7not just a warning.  I have this error eregi line 54 in shows.inc.php deprecated: Code:

        if(!eregi("<\?",$member_db_line)){
                $user_arr = explode("|",$user);
                        if($user_arr[4] != "")
                            {
                                    if($user_arr[7] != 1 and $user_arr[5] != ""){ $my_names[$user_arr[2]] = "<a href=\"mailto:$user_arr[5]\">$user_arr[4]</a>"; }
                                        else{ $my_names[$user_arr[2]] = "$user_arr[4]"; }
                    $name_to_nick[$user_arr[2]] = $user_arr[4];
                            }
                                else
                            {
                                    if($user_arr[7] != 1 and $user_arr[5] != ""){ $my_names[$user_arr[2]] = "<a href=\"mailto:$user_arr[5]\">$user_arr[2]</a>"; }
                                        else{ $my_names[$user_arr[2]] = "$user_arr[2]"; }
                    $name_to_nick[$user_arr[2]] = $user_arr[2];
                }
I think I need to change the eregi to "preg_* where * is something "match"?

Before I attempt to upgrade my sites that are using Cutenews 1.4.6 and 2.0.2 (Build ID 202) I need to know whether they will run under PHP 7.  PHP 7 is no longer backwards compatible. My web companies host is charging extra to keep my sites to PHP 5.4
