UncosNews Problem

Hi everyone,

I’m using UncosNews and while I’m able to create Newsitems and they also show on the frontpage, I get a "not found" error everytime I click on the news title.
Any suggestions as to why that is?

Thanks in advance.

I was just testing it out on Revo 2.1.2 and I also got the same error.

It works however when you give it the id of the landing page, like this: &newsPage =`2`. It seems that if you do not assign a separate landing page, it will not work.

Hi,

I have just install uncosnews but do not know what to do know? It does not seem to give me any instructions. Can someone give me a hand?

Here are the instructions per the modx website:

Install the package with package manager and then:

Snippet: [[!UncosNews]]

Params (with default values)

&tpl=`rowTpl` - Chunk for news lists

&fulltpl=`fullTpl` - Chunk for one full news item

&sort=`id` - Which field to sort news (id:By ordinal, title: By title, desc: By short desc, text: By text, createdon: By creation date, editedon: By date editing)

&dir=`DESC` - Sort direction (ASC or DESC)

&limit=`0` - Number of news from news list (0 - no limit)

&newsPage=`` - ID News page, where is show full newsitem (default current page)

&expand=`true` - if set `0` - disables display the full news in this snippet call (useful if on the same page present news list and full news)

Placeholders:

[[+createdby]] - Author id

[[+user.fullname]] - Author fullname

[[+user.username]] - Author username (aka login)

[[+createdon:strtotime:date=`%d.%m.%Y`]] - creation date (with output filter for example, default format: YYYY-MM-DD)

[[+editedon:strtotime:date=`%d.%m.%Y`]] - date editing

[[+editedby]] - ID, who’s edited news

[[+url]] - url to extended news (full)

[[+title]] - Title

[[+desc]] - Short description

[[+text]] - Full news item text

Examples:

Say you have a news page with ID 55 and the left column contains 3 fresh headlines. Then for the withdrawal of the news stream in the column we call a snippet:

[[!UncosNews? & tpl = `NewsListTpl` & limit = `3`& newsPage =`55`& expand =`0`]]

Where &tpl - chunk to the news stream, &limit - the number of titles, &newsPage - news page, which will be displayed expanded news and &expand - the prohibition on the display of extended news in the left column. For the news page with ID 55 call the snippet will be quite simple:

[[!UncosNews? & tpl = `FullNewsListTpl` & fulltpl = `FullNewsItemTpl`]]

Where &tpl - chunk to news feed on the news page, &fulltpl - chunk to the one expanded news item.

Does that help?

That should be great, thanks very much!
