AllNews - Multi-Lingual version of the "AnyNews" module

[xesrochers]

WAIT FOR NOW... AS I HAVE TO UPDATE THE MODULE SOME MORE...

This module collects all News Items from your site and combines them in a single
place... much like the AnyNews one. However it includes the following features:

 - Multilingual (matches your page language)
 - "New" prefixed for News that are within a 5 day window
 - Links to the pages that originated the news
 - Style matches News ones... readme tell you how to change it
 - Sample includes "EN" and "FR"... readme tells you how to add more.

You can view the module UI via attatchment.

Load it up from the attachment (however I have created the module using MS Zip and it seems that the WebSite Baker does not like this). And yes, I do have the right access rights to the file system.  I installed it using FTP... Did anyone else have problems loading up modules created from the Microsoft world?

Hope this is usefull.

Hi,

your problem with the zipping:

You must zip only the content of the folder, not the folder with the content.
see attached zip for the difference

And ... it maybee a good idea to clean-up the folder before zipping.
Files like "Thumbs.db" aren't necessary and blow up the zip's filesize ....

Regards Bernd

Thanks for the "Zip" fix!

I was thinking about this... And I need to fix the module... so it works with "UniLingual" sites... as the SQL query will look for "en" news items...

If you are runnig a multi-lingual site... you should be fine with this release...

Sorry for the Thumb.db file...

As promised, attached are the RSS modules that I refer to in the AllNews module.

These modules are based on the RSS Feed module with the following mods:
   - Multi-lingual capability,
   - Various RSS 2.0 node fixes ... including the & replacement fix and the link node fix
   - Other RSS nodes data population

The modules are named
   - RssNewsFeed (lists out the posted news items)
   - RssSiteFeed (lists out the updated pages)

Our translation team monitors the site using these RSS feed modules... and translate the posted pages as they come...

Hope these modules are usefull...
