I just did a clean install of .8, chose full install.
Now I don't see how to post any news to the site?
There is no news module?

no, there is no news module that comes with the MS1 release. You can download all the additional modules as part of the ValueAddons release that is also available in the nightly builds area.

when .8 is released there will be several 'packages' aimed at differing consumers which will include some or all of these value addons modules.

You need the ValueAddons.

beat ya.

Also, you'll find there's no AddStory or Submit_News modules in .8 - you simply visit the 'news' module administration interface.

Dang!!

Dumb question i'm sure, but does the ValueAddons files go in /modules ?

The modules you wish to install from it go in to /modules

Install any modules from the valueaddons archive like you would any current 3rd party module i.e. drop into modules/, regenerate, initialise and activate. Note, however, that not all of the modules are at the same stage of development.

Is there any timeline (% complete) for those addons. Some might be worth testing, others best stay clear of for now :)

The following are fairly complete - you'll recognize some of these as the fully templates, API compliant ones from .76x

AutoLinks
AvantGo (a candidate for being dropped in favour of a lite theme)
Banners
Credits
Ephemerids
Members_List
Messages (needs new features or replacing with pnMessages)
Pending Content
Polls
Quotes
Ratings
RSS
Sniffer (might be moved to system/)
Wiki

FAQ and Sections are complete minus categorisation. Reviews and News still need some work. Downloads and WebLinks in valueaddons are no longer being developed (see the seperate NOC projects).

A candidate? I'll cast my vote to drop it.

Okay, on the news module, I'm noticing there isn't a very well made block for the front page. I'm guessing that's the part that needs work, right?


Edit: again, I'm an idiot. The settings are default pointing at the Blank module.

I second the vote for dropping AvantGo

Avant-who!?

I've got problems with News module. In index.php/News/ says:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in news_user_index.htm line 12]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'recommend' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580) in c:\appserv\www\postnuke8ms1\includes\classes\Smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Either install the recommend_us module or remove the tag from the template mentioned in the error message.

Thank you, very much

Now that the SVN Snapshots section is down, is there any other place I may be able to download the ValueAddons pack?

Just download the whole nightly build direct from the NOC project page for PostNuke.

Thanks!

Dumb question: how can I moderate the user-submitted News? I won't that user can free post news, I need to accept and refuse them!

Arthens,

The submission of news is handled by permissions. So if a user has ADD permissions then the story is posted directly but if they only have COMMENT permissions then the news is held for approval.

Hammerhead's comment about the news submission being via the admin panel isn't quite correct. There are both user and admin submission pages but both are essentially the same thing - just different templates and a few different fields depending on permissions.

I supposed that should be like that, but it doesn't works. I'm going to submit the bug and the fix in the BugTracker.

Another question on the same argument.
Is there any way to put in homepage something (a block?) that notify who can accept the news that there is a new one?

Giacomo,

I've noticed your bug report. The news DB has changed a bit and it looks like the code didn't get updated to match...

For content approval see the pending content module.

Sorry again Mark, but seems that Reviews module didn't use the same method.
Users with COMMENT permissions can't submit new review, only users with ADD permissions can do it.

It's a bug or a choice?
Should be nice, and really usefull, if both module work with the same scheme.

Thanks again.
