[Snippet] NewsListing 6.4.2 [Stable]

I’m also wondering if it’s possible to use Newslisting to create a summary list of all pages written by a particular author? So that I can have an author home page that lists all articles written by that author.

And is it possible to assign multiple categories to articles and then have Newslisting type summary list based on a specific category?

Again, in Textpattern (sorry to go on about this, but still getting my head around modX) it is simply a case of typing <txp:article_custom category="photos" offset="0" limit="2" listform="excerptlist" /> or <txp:article_custom author="John" offset="0" limit="2" listform="excerptlist" /> inside a template and an article list by category or author is created.

Cheers

Can you provide both calls?

I am unable to duplicate the symtoms you describe on any of my testing servers.

here are the calls:
and

I know that &sortby=`createdon` is by default... thats some kind of silly debuggin of mine
I will remind the error output:
this message appears unless the page is not cached yet... after page refreshing (and caching I think) - this message won’t appear and everything works ok (excluding some bug in IE).

string 60 in functions.php is and string 145 in document.parser.class.inc.php is

Updated: OMG! now I saw that error on a single NL-call page: http://www.promosound.org/128 ...that is completely strange.

Are you running with stop on notice turned on? If you have never heard the term before then you can safely assume you are not.

Otherwise, I am still unable to duplicate the problem.

nope... never heard
Am I unlucky then?
well I got a solution to call ChildDocMapper instead of duplicated NL calls, though I can’t understand how to get a human formatted createdon date there.

Hmmm. Could you try installing a default content modx install on your server, upgrading to 6.4.2 and seeing if that works? If not, if you PM me login details I can take a look.

SOVED! Upgraded MODx to 0.9.2.1

though IE bugs remain - i guess its not NL

Thank you Mark very much for supporting me here

Cheers

doh! forgive me...but its not over yet.
Got another problem:

I still have two NL calls on a page: http://www.promosound.org/news (works fine in Firefox now).
The NL call to the right has pagination which is now two pages.
The NL cal to the left has no pagination - it only displays 3 latest posts.
Now, when we load http://www.promosound.org/news?start=0 (right NL call, page 1) - everything is ok.
But when we load http://www.promosound.org/news?start=3 (right NL call, page 2) - we don’t see that left NL call as if it also has pagination and its page 2 would be empty.

Is this normal or a bug?

That’s a problem with NL not being a true class, which I understand to be a work in progress.

Actually, this should not be happening as pagination is off by default. Can you provide the two calls?

Can you try changing this line:


to just
