Search options (Page 4 of 5)

I have successfully adapted the hack
https://cutephp.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33970
to work with versions 1.5*

Note that earlier published versions of this hack such as https://cutephp.com/forum/index.php?showtop...p;hl=journalist
do not work in 1.5*

In Inc/options.php find:

    // General
    echo "<tr style='' id=general><td colspan=10 width=100%><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%>";

Add after:

    showRow(lang("Approve Journalist"), lang("if not, Journalists can post without approval"), makeDropDown(array("yes"=>"Yes","no"=>"No"), "save_con[use_approve]", "$config_use_approve"));

In inc/addnews.php find:

        if ($member_db[UDB_ACL] > 2)

Change to:

        if ($member_db[UDB_ACL] > 3)

Find:

        if ($member_db[UDB_ACL] == ACL_LEVEL_JOURNALIST or $postpone_draft == "draft")
        {
            // if the user is Journalist, add the article as unapproved
            $decide_news_file       = SERVDIR."/cdata/unapproved_news.txt";
            $added_time             = time() + $config_date_adjust*60;
            $postpone               = false;
            $unapproved_status_msg  = lang("The article was marked as Unapproved!");

Change to:

    if ((($member_db[UDB_ACL] == ACL_LEVEL_JOURNALIST) and $config_use_approve == "yes") or $postpone_draft == "draft")
        {
            //modified- if the user is Journalist, and approval is on, add the article as unapproved
            $decide_news_file       = SERVDIR."/cdata/unapproved_news.txt";
            $added_time             = time() + $config_date_adjust*60;
            $postpone               = false;
            $unapproved_status_msg  = lang("The article was marked as Unapproved!");

Important: DO NOT edit options.php in Dreamweaver or other similar html/php programs as this will cause the options panel to malfunction. Only edit in notepad.

This works fine and adds an option in System Configurations/General for Admin to permit journalists to file upapproved news.

However, it applies to ALL journalists - if enabled or not, then all journalists can either file or are unable to file unapproved news.

QUESTION
Is it possible to further modify this to be able to apply the setting to individual journalists, perhaps by adding a further option to Admin in the Add/Edit Users section of the admin panel?

Cheers!

Hi

using v2.0.2
Cheers!

Hi

I am using Cutenews on two different websites - same basic configurations and both work well.

I have enabled the facebook comments plugin from cutenews control panel on both sites, (set not to show in active news)

I could not figure out what the AppID is so left the entry blank.

item snipped ....

Now working - item closed.
Cheers!

Today I clicked Update Cutenews from the control panel, was shown a list of files to be updated - all green and writable, red files indicating files that did not exist in my installation and presumably would be added during the update.

Click.

After about 30 seconds - Page Cannot Be Displayed error

Reopening the browser and what do I find
  -a Github page has replaced the Cutenews installation index page that redirects to a Github 404 error page.
  - deleting the index pasge and replacing it with the original does nothing. Trying to access my Cutenews installation
     just throws up the same error page.

There is no reference at all on the Github page to Cutenews. There is a search box but when used throws a page cannot be found error.

I am a registered user of your product.

What is going on here?

Hi all

I am using the latest Cutenews version and all works 100%, or rather 99.99%

No matter what I try, clicking the Preview button does nothing at all. It simply does not function.

Has anyone had this problem and been able to fix it?

Regards
Keith

Hi

Whenever I update Cutenews the system is broken. I get nothing but error messages, the wysiwyg editor fails to work - the list of errors goes on and on.

I have had to fully roll back the installation to previous, locally saved copies or Cutenews would be useless.

I have raised this issue before but it was washed over.

I would like to update from my current 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 but every time it screws up the installation.
The CKeditor reverts back to very basic settings and nothing I do seems to restore it to full functionality.

Can someone please help with this?

Cheers

I thought I'd put my site here for appraisal. I am using v1.5.1 with some 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 mixed in. The functionality of Cutenews has been reduced since v1.4.7 due to the loss of sophisticated MODs that have not been replicated in the versions of 1.5.0 up.

For example, I have (so far) 166 categories and with 1.4.7 I was able to include code that enabled admin to restrict journalists to a specified category or group of categories.

Still, here it is
http://www.newsmedianews.com/headlines.php
and
http://www.newsmedianews.com/publishing.php

Cheers

The search function works except for when I click a link in the results. No story shows and the page returns to a blank search page.

Apart from the page header, the search page includes only the code:

<?PHP
   include("newsin/search.php");
?>

You can see the problem at http://www.newsmedianews.com/newsin/search.php
if you simply hit search with an empty box to call up all items and try clicking on a story link.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.
