NewsDesk v1.48.3

[coeus]

Hi, I just installed NewsDesk on oscMax 2 however when I try to go into the newsDesk admin it redirects me to forbidden.php. Anyone know what's wrong here?

In ADMIN WITH LEVELS you may have to grant access to the user(s) for the PHP files for news desk.....

[coeus]

Thanks, worked. I was wondering if you can also tell me why I get this error.

Warning: main(includes/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/www-root/kunder/www.gsmteknik.se/dev/newsdesk_info.php on line 106

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/www-root/kunder/www.gsmteknik.se/dev/newsdesk_info.php on line 106

I believe this error has to deal with BTS system. It's looking for header.php but BTS doesn't use this file.

[jpf]

Check ALL files you edited/changed for a BLANK SPACE or LINE at the END of the file....PHP does not like this.

[coeus]

Hmm, i'm not sure what that's supposed to do. The php error complains about a missing file "header.php" which is not there because BTS doesn't need it. I guess what I'm asking is, newsDesk uses the default oscommerce template system. How can I convert the newsdesk file so that it uses BTS instead?

You have to update the mod to work with BTS or it will always give you that error. There is no way to explain this easily. Take a look at the existing structure of files in osCMax to get an idea how BTS works.

I have modified NewsDesk to work with v1.5 of osCMax ... I'd be happy to put those files somewhere if you'd like.

[coeus]

That'd be cool. I got it to work on BTS 1.5 too, but i'm sure some other people may want it.

lane/coeus,

Would like very much the code toget it to work, getting error messages like:

Warning: main(templates/algo/TEMPLATE_NAME/main_page.tpl.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/camdenbo/public_html/store/newsdesk_index.php on line 104

Warning: main(templates/algo/TEMPLATE_NAME/main_page.tpl.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/camdenbo/public_html/store/newsdesk_index.php on line 104

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'templates/algo/TEMPLATE_NAME/main_page.tpl.php' (include_path='') in /home/camdenbo/public_html/store/newsdesk_index.php on line 104

Test site here: http://store.camdenboatstore.com I have the individual .tpl files in content, but it seems a path issue?

Thanks in advance,

You don't have 'TEMPLATE_NAME' defined. I am running an early version of BTS w/o multiple template support, so I can't offer much help there. Maybe this will help, here is my newsdesk_index.php file:

<?php
require('includes/application_top.php');
require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/newsdesk_general.php');
// set application wide parameters --- this query set is for NewsDesk
$configuration_query = tep_db_query("select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from " . TABLE_NEWSDESK_CONFIGURATION . "");
while ($configuration = tep_db_fetch_array($configuration_query)) {
	define($configuration['cfgKey'], $configuration['cfgValue']);
}
// calculate category path
if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['newsPath']) {
	$newsPath = $HTTP_GET_VARS['newsPath'];
} elseif ($HTTP_GET_VARS['newsdesk_id'] && !$HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id']) {
	$newsPath = newsdesk_get_product_path($HTTP_GET_VARS['newsdesk_id']);
} else {
	$newsPath = '';
}
if (strlen($newsPath) > 0) {
	$newsPath_array = newsdesk_parse_category_path($newsPath);
	$newsPath = implode('_', $newsPath_array);
	$current_category_id = $newsPath_array[(sizeof($newsPath_array)-1)];
} else {
	$current_category_id = 0;
}
if (isset($newsPath_array)) {
	$n = sizeof($newsPath_array);
	for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) {
		$categories_query = tep_db_query(
		"select categories_name from " . TABLE_NEWSDESK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " where categories_id = '" . $newsPath_array[$i] 
		. "' and language_id='" . $languages_id . "'"
		);
		if (tep_db_num_rows($categories_query) > 0) {
			$categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query);
			$breadcrumb->add($categories['categories_name'], tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSDESK_INDEX, 'newsPath=' 
			. implode('_', array_slice($newsPath_array, 0, ($i+1)))));
		} else {
			break;
		}
	}
}

// the following newsPath references come from application_top.php
$category_depth = 'top';
if ($newsPath) {
	$category_parent_query = tep_db_query(
	"select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_NEWSDESK_CATEGORIES . " where parent_id = '" . $current_category_id . "'"
	);
	$category_parent = tep_db_fetch_array($category_parent_query);
	if ($category_parent['total'] > 0) {
		$category_depth = 'nested'; // navigate through the categories
	} else {
		$category_depth = 'products'; // category has no products, but display the 'no products' message
	}
