[Snippet] NewsListing 6.3.3

Hi Mark !!

I have a little problem with NewsListing. Could you fix it ?
Then, my problem is date formatting with localization.

I want display a date like "jeudi 16 février 2006" (textually Thursday 16 February 2006). The date is displayed "jeudi 16 f?vrier 2006".
I use UTF-8 (a cause of my problem). strftime() is used in the snippet to format date but this PHP function return date in ISO-8859-1. A solution is to use utf8_encode(). Ideal is to test Modx charset to use this function or not.

I have written a snippet (FormatDate) which resolve this problem. You can copy and paste this code

Thanks for this

Looking at your snippet code, are you saying all I need to do is wrap the date functions output in ?

Not exactly : you need to wrap the date functions output in utf8_encode() only if charset of Modx is UTF-8.

NL 6.3.4 meet UTF-8 dates! Could you please add this to the NewsListing bugtracker? (Link earlier in this thread...somewhere!)

I didn’t know that NewsLilsting has a bugtracker
I have add this to the bugtracker : http://modxcms.com/bugs/task/306

Thanks Mark.

There is a projec in our tracker specifically for newslisting. It’s one of your choices you make when creating a bug / feautre / support request post.

Hi Mark !!

Could you add in your documentation after this line

* &startID - the folder containing the posts [the document called from]

, this or something like :

&startid=`0` for all website

Thanks for newbie as me

Sure! This weekend I plan on re-doing the NewsListing documentation anyways, so I’ll make sure that gets in there.

Hello!

Well, this thread is quite looong
I have searched for an answer to my question, but did not found it. Maybe it was asked but ... here it is:

Can I use something like this?


I would like to get articles just of some folders (IDs). Or maybe is there another parameter I have to use? I know I can use the root ID of these folders, but I don’t want them all shown.

Thank you!

Yes, but you need to set multilevel=1 for that to work at the moment.

I still need to add a check to say if there are commas in the list, use the advanced method...
