Hi, I dont try in the 2.8 version. It work well for me in 2.7. after some changes in the code(adding block for viewing in one page, not all)
I think that it's work in 2.8 but I'm not sure. I will testing it in some next weeks.

Cheers!

I upgraded from 2.7-2.8 with the blog menu intact and no problems.

In my posts it is showing [TEXT_POSTED_BY] [TEXT_ON] [PUBLISHED_DATE] like that why is this?

Same here. With WB 2.8 and replaced view.php in news module

Hello all,

i want to use blog menu for my site, but I`ve seen that there are new versions of the view.php with some bugfix.

• on AMASP you can find version 3.1: http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/modules/listings/various/news.php
• wb 2.8.1 RC2 includes version 3.2 of view.php

Replacing view.php in the news module directory means that you replace the bugfix.
Has someone made an adjustment?

Cheers gucci

Maybe this will help others.

I did a code compare between the "Blog Menu" news/view.php and the News V3.5 view.php (installed with WB 2.8.1).  There was just a short bit of code to add over to allow it to function...

find:

Code:

// Check if we should only list posts from a certain group
if(isset($_GET['g']) AND is_numeric($_GET['g']))
    {
$query_extra = " AND group_id = '".$_GET['g']."'";
} else {
$query_extra = '';
}

// Get settings

Change to:

Code:

// Check if we should only list posts from a certain group
if(isset($_GET['g']) AND is_numeric($_GET['g']))
    {
$query_extra = " AND group_id = '".$_GET['g']."'";
} elseif(isset($_GET['m']) AND is_numeric($_GET['m']) AND isset($_GET['y']) AND is_numeric($_GET['y']) AND isset($_GET['method']) AND is_numeric($_GET['method'])){
$startdate = mktime(0,0,0,$_GET['m'],1,$_GET['y']);
$enddate = mktime(0,0,0,$_GET['m']+1,1,$_GET['y']);
switch($_GET['method']){
case 0:
$date_option = "posted_when";
break;
case 1:
$date_option = "published_when";
break;
}
$query_extra = " AND ".$date_option." >= '$startdate' AND ".$date_option." < '$enddate'";
} else {
$query_extra = '';
}

// Get settings

Guys,

The ?g=3?g=3 is not in the view.php but in the table settings in the backend of WB.
The breadcrumb links are being built from the original link. but when called from a "group link" it will include the group parameter too.

In the post header (settings button of newspage) the links are built using:

Code:

<td valign="top"><a href="[BACK]">[PAGE_TITLE]</a> >> <a href="[BACK]?g=[GROUP_ID]">[GROUP_TITLE]</a></td>

The [back] link will have the g= parameter (what is not right) and so the second level [back] will have two of them.

Change that line in:

Code:

<td valign="top"><a href="/pages/artikel.php">[PAGE_TITLE]</a> >> <a href="/pages/artikel.php?g=[GROUP_ID]">[GROUP_TITLE]</a></td>

And it is fixed.
Note: I used /pages/artikel.php in this example because that was in the "problem" page that spida reported. For other site, use whatever link is your news/blog page.

That will fix it.

Ruud,

Thank you so much for this fix.  It works perfectly on the group link breadcrumbs.  Is there any way to make the "Back" link operate the same way when accessing post groupings of date specific links?  In other words, if someone clicks on June 2008 (2) and then clicks to view one of the two posts, then clicks the "Back" button, they are currently taken back to the root news posting page (with all posts listed).  Is there any way to take them back to the June 2008 News Posts page (with the two posts), that they came from?
