news module: internal link [wblink] in short description not working

[Boudi]

hi,

I noticed that when you create a news item in the long news section the internal link is working nicely but not in the short news section. This will end up into an error.

Is this a know problem?

So - what's the error-message saying?

Strange?

Editor: 2.85

Hello,

2.86 is the latest version of FCK Modul for WB.

Hello,

Thnq for quick responding. I downloaded the FCKeditor 2.86 and:

- Deleted all cookies
- Upgraded to 2.86
- Got a successfull message
- Reload the addons
- But it says it is still 2.85

Doing something wrong up here? 

Besides that: the error is only on a section at  the website where i put the code of the anynews module. Not on the mainpage itself. I think this is the issue?

Hello,

As the FCKEditor is a core file from WB 2.7, you have uploaded them together with the WB package with your ftp client. This means that the files are owned by ftpuser. Depending on your server config, the WB admin deletscript wich runs under the wwwrun user has no permissions to delete this modul.

Please do the following:
1.) Delete with ftp the whole Modules/fckeditor folder with all files in it
2.) Unzip the package from the newer Modulversion
3.) Upload the newer fckeditor with ftp in modules/fckeditor (Folder structure should be the same as before)
4.) Go in WB admi to admin tools and reload the modules.

As our help page is based on WB 2.6.x we need to update this point. Sorry for the circumstances.

Maybe thi is it:

Could be the anynews snippet doens't translate the wblink

@ Matthias,

Thnq, worked perfect. 2.82 is running now.

@ John,

I think this could be the case. When you normally read the newspage (short/long story) itself than there is no problem. When you put the anynews snippet in a code into a section of a template (which normally gives a redirect to the above page) then the wblink seems not to work.

I leave this topic open. May be I didn't searched well or does anybody know a solution for this   

Thnq 4 your responses.

[pcwacht]

To make sure I downed anynews just now and had a look into the include.php

There is no $wb->preprocess there, so the wblink never gets translated

I  think a line must be added in include.php for it to work

Line 88 and 89 reads:

Code:

       while($data = $result->fetchRow()) {
                // strip tags if specified

Think it is best to add lines between line 88 and 89

Code:

       while($data = $result->fetchRow()) {
                // Replace [wblink--PAGE_ID--] with real link
                $data['content_short'] = $wb->preprocess($data['content_short']);

                // strip tags if specified

Mind you , I haven't tested this but think it'll work

Anynews does not translate internal links.

The quick solution is to use the last (strip_tags) parameter in the display_news_items() call in your template (Anynews snippet).
Setting that to false will not display the link at all. That makes it will not link to a /pages/[wblinknnn] url.

From the README file:

Code:

<?php display_news_items($group_id, $max_news_items, $max_news_length, $display_mode, 
$header_text, $readmore_text, $no_news_text, $strip_tags); ?>

Just tested, wouldn't work.
Is the $wb frontend available within snippet includes?

Code:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function on a non-object in /www/wb-sandbox/modules/anynews/include.php

thnq you for your quick responding!

@ pcwacht,

Like Ruud said, unfortunately this does not work.

@ Ruud,

Even when you set the parameter to true the wblink does not appear. (at least over here)
Besides that images does not show up when setting the parameter to true so a wblink behind an image is not possible. (and that is the wish from the customer)

The strip_tags removes all html tags. So it will strip the links out, but also the images.

Last modifications to anynews were made by me (new WB2.7 publish settings), I will have a look and see if I can make a fix for this tonight.

Sorry, it took a day longer. (must be the very nice weather)
The version in this post will display your links as it should. (Don't forget to set strip_tags to false again)

What can I say...the weather was indeed very nice    and your new version does the trick!!

Thank you for your quick solution! It works like a charm
