Removing NEWS

[os4me]

I don't have use for the news section where "No news is good news." is displayed. Where can I remove this?

Thanks

I know you can change what is says in the language_en.php file in ../lang.

look for the //Startseite heading.

I want to remove the entire NEWS section.

Hi,

you can remove it in template/main.tpl.

k. that's close. so that gets rid of the news, but what if i wanted the page to load the categories listing instead of the 'main.tpl' that traditionally holds the 'news'?

thanks!

Hi,

you mean the "show all categories" page on the main page?

[fremitus]

yes.

how do i 'replace' the news page that comes up on index.php with the 'show all categories'

thanks.

Hi,

first, you have to add the following in the main.tpl template:

Code: Select all

	{writeThemes}
	{writeOneThemeBack}

Then you have to copy this code from show.php:

Code: Select all

if (isset($_REQUEST['cat']) && is_numeric($_REQUEST['cat'])) {
	$category = (int)$_REQUEST['cat'];
}

if (isset($category) && $category != 0 && isset($tree->categoryName[$category])) {
	Tracking('show_category', $category);
    $parent = $tree->categoryName[$category]['parent_id'];
    $name = $tree->categoryName[$category]['name'];

    $records = printThemes($category);
    if (!$records) {
        $cats = new Category($LANGCODE);
    	$cats->transform($category);
    	$cats->collapseAll();
    	$records = $cats->viewTree();
    }

	if ($parent != 0) {
		$up = '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?'.$sids.'action=show&cat='.$parent.'">'.$PMF_LANG['msgCategoryUp'].'</a>';
    } else {
        $up = '';
    }

    $tpl->processTemplate('writeContent', array(
				          'writeCategory' => $PMF_LANG['msgEntriesIn'].$name,
				          'writeThemes' => $records,
				          'writeOneThemeBack' => $up));
	$tpl->includeTemplate('writeContent', 'index');
} else {
	Tracking('show_all_categories', 0);
	$tpl->processTemplate('writeContent', array(
				          'writeCategory' => $PMF_LANG['msgFullCategories'],
				          'writeThemes' => $tree->viewTree(),
				          'writeOneThemeBack' => ''));
	$tpl->includeTemplate('writeContent', 'index');
}

into main.php. Maybe you have to change some things in the template stuff...

bye
