content_blog_category parameters disappeared

[henmue]

hi there!
in the step from 4.5.1 to 4.5.1a menu-components´ content_blog_category and content_blog_category_multi have been merged. two parameters of content_blog_category disappeared with this change: "description" and "description_image". this results in a image error in the blog html, because content.php sets "true" per default to description_image, even if there is no image selected.

to circumvent this error i inserted


<param name="description" type="radio" default="0" label="Description" description="Show/Hide the Category Description">
<option value="0">Hide</option>
<option value="1">Show</option>
</param>
<param name="description_image" type="radio" default="0" label="Description Image" description="Show/Hide the Category Description">
<option value="0">Hide</option>
<option value="1">Show</option>
</param>


from 4.5.1 into content_blog_category.xml of 4.5.1a. is that legal? it seems to produce no misbehaviour.

You are correct - I accidentally killed those two parameters in the xml file in amalgamating multiple categoer/section support into the blogs :(


Your fix is correct and will work fine :D
Thats exactly how its been fixed in 4.5.2 CVS

@stingrey

ok! my brain is still working. ;)

I looked at the file and it's not obvious to me where to place the corrected text. Clues?

[noobnuggets]

this fix also needs to be done to content_blog_section.xml, since section links have the same image issue.

@csm, I would suggest putting the lines in around line 69 of the file, which will put options just under the category name, and category name linkable options.

Happy hacking!

If your not sure about where exactly to put it, simply unzip the attached file and ftp onto your site and overwrite the existing:

The files go into

/administrator/components/com_menus/content_blog_category/content_blog_category.xml
&
/administrator/components/com_menus/content_blog_section/content_blog_section.xml

You should consider putting the patches also on mamboforge

I have spotted at least 3 patches now, only one is on mamboforge.net ?

under project jeeps..

you have a diiferent problem. You are missing an image for your template. This is the path it is looking for the image under: templates/akogreenportal/images/indent1.png Just make a little image for your submenu, and put it in that dir.

the patch fixes the bug, but opens a new bug:

The Show/Hide pdf icon button got lost.

there's missing the following code in both .xml files. The xml files are taken from this release: Mambo_4.5.1a_Blog_Param_Bug_Patch.zip


<param name="pdf" type="list" default="" label="PDF Icon" description="Show/Hide the item pdf button - only affects this page">
<option value="">Use Global</option>
<option value="0">Hide</option>
<option value="1">Show</option>
</param>

[eric_brissette]

Am I the only one who still has the problem after applying the patch (Mambo doesn't seem to want to obey the new settings)

Hi everyone. I uploaded the patch, but am also still experiencing the broken image on blog pages in IE.

Are other changes required besides uploading these files? Much thanks!

[digidydave1]

Just an FYI, in addition to uploading the patch, this patch requires going to the blog category or blog section menu item and resaving the menu item.

Adios.

[theconsul]

[theconsul]

i deleted all links to the blog categories and made me some new ones

the image disappeared so that is good.

I have the same problem. Resaved all menu items, broken image is gone, but category description left as well.

Ahh, fixed. Edit Menu Item / Parameters / Description / Show.

Thankfully mine was just this simple. I uploaded the images, indent1,2,3,etc. and everything worked fine.

You can find the reference to the images in the file: modules / mod_mainmenu.php
