Hi Guys,

First of all, thank you for the great work. It's always a pleasure to work with refinery.

It would be great if you could release the gem version 2.1.0 because it will unlock refinery 2.1 on my application, which fix a nasty bug I'm having.

Regards

Hello

I have problems using news engine with refinerycms.
if I go to http://localhost:3000/news - then i get error
No route matches {:locale=>:sl, :controller=>"refinery/news/items"}

This error also appears if I create custom engine with "config.frontend_locales = [:sl, :en]".
I google for this problem and I found also other have the same problems ... but no solution so far.

Refinery::I18n.configure do |config|
config.enabled = true
config.default_locale = :sl
config.current_locale = :sl
config.default_frontend_locale = :sl
config.frontend_locales = [:sl, :en]
end

The problem is also described here
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/refinery-cms/wgvjK34K6Zo

Can someone spot the problem?

Thanx in advance
Marko

The new release version 2.1.1 does not work with version 2.1.0 of the News plugin. When showing a newsitem I get

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in Refinery::News::ItemsController#show

Couldn't find Refinery::News::Item with id=installatie-nieuwsitems 

[WHERE `refinery_news_item_translations`.`locale` = 'nl' 
AND `refinery_news_items`.`id` = `refinery_news_item_translations`.`refinery_news_item_id` 
AND ((`refinery_news_items`.`expiration_date` IS NULL 
     OR `refinery_news_items`.`expiration_date` > '2013-11-27 11:37:29')) 
AND (publish_date < '2013-11-27 11:37:29')]

Note the weird id it is looking for.

Hi, everytime I try to add a child page under a extension's page I get the error

ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in Refinery::Admin::PagesController#new

Can't mass-assign protected attributes: locale

Rails.root: /Users/gadreel/Documents/rickrockstar
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

Request

Parameters:

{"parent_id"=>"11",
"locale"=>:en}

Is this a bug or some sort of protection mechanism?

Is it possible to set the pagination per_page value? I search through the source for some reference to it, but could find anything. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for building a great CMS. I use the news engine, but it seems that the localization is not working correctly on the frontend and for some labels at the backend (not all). I use Dutch as a main language. That's is going (wr)on(ng)?..

i18n.rb
  Refinery::I18n.configure do |config|
    config.enabled = false
    config.default_locale = :nl
    config.current_locale = :nl
    config.default_frontend_locale = :nl
    config.frontend_locales = [:nl]
    config.locales = {:nl=>"Nederlands"}
    #config.locales = {:en=>"English", :fr=>"Français", :nl=>"Nederlands", :"pt-BR"=>"Português", :da=>"Dansk", :nb=>"Norsk Bokmål", :sl=>"Slovenian", :es=>"Español", :it=>"Italiano", :de=>"Deutsch", :lv=>"Latviski", :ru=>"Русский", :sv=>"Svenska", :pl=>"Polski", :"zh-CN"=>"Simplified Chinese", :"zh-TW"=>"Traditional Chinese", :el=>"Ελληνικά", :rs=>"Srpski", :cs=>"Česky", :sk=>"Slovenský", :ja=>"日本語", :bg=>"Български"}
  end

When I try to install the news engine I get the below error. Would you have any idea why I might be getting the error message when I do a migrate? I'm running rails 3.0.3 and ruby 1.9.2. I'm also running refinerycms version 0.9.8.5 and the refinerycms_news is 0.9.9

$ rake db:migrate
(in /Users/Sites/web/profc)
== AddMissingIndexes: migrating ==============================================
-- add_index(:pages, :parent_id)
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

Index name 'index_pages_on_parent_id' on table 'pages' already exists

I think you should bump the version and release the gem to rubygems.org after the last commit

• SHA: eb5fdb7.

It was a major bugfix for the case that someone doesn't use the refinerycms-i18n gem. Right now, if one doesn't use github in the Gemfile, but rubygems.org, it will not work.

I can see there is an image_id attribute in the Item model, but I don't see its functionality. When I create a new news I can add an image to the body but there is no option to add an image to the Item model.

Is it possible to add a column into the news table so that the news can be grouped into several categories, so that the "recent posts" module can display recent posts from different categories? I'm working on this.

On my /news page, the Archive links are for every item, and not just for every month. So as example, i have 4 news in Mai and this is wat i get:

• Mai 2012 (4)
• Mai 2012 (4)
• Mai 2012 (4)
• Mai 2012 (4)

refinerycms-news generates four times the same link. How can this be fixed?

i have installed:

ruby 1.9.3p194
Rails 3.2.6
refinerycms (2.0.8)
refinerycms-news (2.0.1)

With a clean Refinery installation and only the news engine, the line below from views/refinery/news/items/show.html.erb isn't rendered in the final web page:

<% content_for :body_content_title, @item.title %>

It looks like we can't override the body_content_title of the /refinery/content_page partial unless we set the page_title someway. And since I'm new to Ruby and Rails, I've no clue how to do that.

Please have a look at the corresponding code: https://gist.github.com/c3e3de589e18044bfe48

After visiting #refinerycms, @sedrickcz told me to try this :

<%= render :partial => "refinery/content_page", :locals => { :page_title => @item.title } %>

And yes, the page_title is set in my page but the ContentPagePresenter doesn't give a sh**

Would be nice if there was an option to make a post "sticky", a-la-Wordpress :)

Again, it would be great if there was something ready made to allow for archive navigation

rake refinery:override view=refinery/news/items/*

zsh: no matches found: view=refinery/news/items/*

Hi guys,

I've got a fresh install of Refinery 2.0.3, and am getting this error when trying to create a new article in the admin section:

ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in Refinery/news/admin/items#new

Thanks in advance for any help :-)

using edge with

gem "refinerycms-news", :git => 'git://github.com/resolve/refinerycms-news.git', :branch => 'rails-3-1'

fails in production env with

ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `edit_refinery_news_items_admin_news_item_path' for #<ActionDispatch::Routing::RoutesProxy:0x00000007785350>)

could be a rails bug too as news is using resources :as ...
a temporary workaround is using

    '/'
  end
end

in config/initializers/refinery.rb

I am facing problem when using 'news' with 'portfolio' plugin. Separately news works fine. But, with portfolio installed, it creates error while showing news in the website frontend.
A. It doesn't show the news link in the menu [But, it showed previously when portfolio was not installed]
B. Manually typing the /news shows this error [It should show the list of news]:
[Rendering news_items/index

A little inspection told me that one of the generator templates was possibly wrong. I have forked and committed a patch.

Using refinerycms-news 1.1 on a fresh project with nothing overridden, upon adding an external link or using the link just above the save button to add an image, the news item does not display either image.

Running this: rake refinery:override view=refinery/news/items/*
Produces this: no matches found: view=refinery/news/items/*

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I followed the steps to create an extension (Events). I've got the extension created but when I try to save somo information at tab Events , the follow error appears:

ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error (Can't mass-assign protected attributes: date(1i), date(2i), date(3i), date(4i), date(5i), photo_id, position):

I'm using - refinerycms (2.0.3) on RVM.

I just installed this refinery-news gem and noticed that I now have a settings tab with no settings in it. I thought this sort of stuff got moved into a config/initializers file, but after reviewing the gemspec, I noticed that refinery-settings gem is listed as a dependency. Is that a mistake? Or is this a legacy dependency that just hasn't been updated yet? Or is there some reason that this dependency needs to exist?

The news module is great, but I noticed two possible bugs:

1. Custom Title is stored in database but <%= t('plugins.refinerycms_news.title') %> on the index page prints "News" regardless.
2. html tags in body_content_left is printed as part of the string on the index page.

Using refinerycms-news 1.0 and refinery 0.9.9.20.

I have noticed a bug with truncating Cyrillic texts. length is set to 200, but that only works correct on English characters (tho it shows 141 of 200 only in English too).
Also strange that second line is in Russian, but it's shown and it's truncated to 44 chars.

I overrided pages, then set truncate, item_body :length => 500, and now it shows russian text too, but like 50% only of length it should.

PS screenshot — http://iva-soft.com/truncate_c_t.png

I did an installation of News on a 2.0.2 site and it installed a "Settings" Tab on the Admin but no News tab
It did install the News Page - which is just a blank page

Starting with a new refinery project, I wanted to try out the news engine. So I added the gem, bundle installed, and ran the generator. When I went to do rake db:migrate I got the following error:

rake aborted!
An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

SQLite3::SQLException: table "refinery_settings" already exists: CREATE TABLE "refinery_settings" ("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, "name" varchar(255), "value" text, "destroyable" boolean DEFAULT 't', "scoping" varchar(255), "restricted" boolean DEFAULT 'f', "form_value_type" varchar(255), "created_at" datetime NOT NULL, "updated_at" datetime NOT NULL) 

Not sure if this has broken anything yet, but I thought I should mention it.

Hi

i am using theming and the news module. My goal is to add a simple little list of latest news to my tempate

i have tryed many ways but nothing works...

how can i add a news list to my template?

tanks and regards oshovah

hi when I try to add new news I've got this error:

Can't mass-assign protected attributes: locale

It is because in refinery-core by default is set up:

 57     config.active_record.whitelist_attributes = true

Please add this attribute to whitliest
Thanks

Edit:
I added fix path for that
Cheers

Hello,
I am after fresh install of refinery and refinery news module. I added simple test news and I would like to display all content.
When I try to reach site.dev/pl/news/test I recive error:

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in NewsItemsController#show
Couldn't find NewsItem with ID=2 [WHERE "news_item_translations"."locale" = 'pl' AND "news_items"."id" = "news_item_translations"."news_item_id" AND (("news_items"."expiration_date" IS NULL OR "news_items"."expiration_date" > '2011-07-16 18:07:43.664231')) AND (publish_date < '2011-07-16 18:07:43.664376')]

Just noticed this check is missing for the migration to run successfully.
if user.plugins.find_by_name('refinerycms_news').nil?

User.find(:all).each do |user|
    if user.plugins.find_by_name('refinerycms_news').nil?
         user.plugins.create(:name => "", :position => (user.plugins.maximum(:position) || -1) +1)
    end                    
 end

hope it helps,

Hello, I added page "News" to menu branch "Company" and now I have 2 pages:

1. /Company/news - empty, but with vertical menu
2. /news - page with last news, but without vertical menu.
   How I can join this two pages so that I will have news and menu? Can I render menu.haml and specify path of selected page or render '/news/items/index' in page Company/News ?

Installed refinery-news via gem tried to run script/generate news but it could not find generator. Installed plugin and tested again this worked fine. Anyone else confirm this?

The news tab on the admin side of Refinery using current master branch does not work.

The fix needed is a simple route change (since Refinery changed /admin/ to /refinery/):

map.namespace(:admin) do |admin|

to

map.namespace(:admin, :path_prefix => 'refinery') do |admin|

Hi Guys,

I'm having a problem with the news plugin on my server. Locally when i
click the read more link on a news item in the news section it will
take me to the show action. However when i do this on my server i get
a 500 error response from the app.

This is what it is spitting out in the log file. It's almost like it's
not finding the news item in the db, but i'm not sure.
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method title' for nil:NilClass): 1: <% content_for :body_content_title, @news_item.title %> 2: <% content_for :body_content_left do %> 3: <p> 4: <small><%= t('.published') %> <%# l(@news_item.publish_date, :format => :long) %></small> app/views/news_items/show.html.erb:1:in _app_views_news_items_show_html_erb___696800908__619473248_0'

Any body else having this issue? I am using version 0.9.9.3

You cannot assign an author to a news item.

I was thinking, is it an idea to merge blog/news?
Blog has an author field and categories.

I'm trying to use the news plugin on a fresh clone (version 0.9.8), with rails 3.0.0 and all gems bundled up on vendor/bundle. Also, I installed refinerycms-news as a plugin, because if I installed it as a gem I would get the generator not found error. This is the error I'm getting:

Just did a minimal installation of refinerycms-news into a minimal refinery site

I'm using refinerycms 2.0.8 and Rails 3.2.8

I followed the readme :

gem "refinerycms-news", '~> 2.0.0'
bundle install
rails generate refinery:news
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed

no overriding of anything....

Now there is a News page in the Pages view and a link on the homepage of my site
But clicking on the News link on my site gets me:

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

Refinery::News:Items#archive does not retrieve correct entries.

It calls Refinery::News::Item.live, which calls Refinery::News::Item.not_expired, which results in no record retrieved. I simply removed the call for .live in the controller, though that would also retrieve unpublished entries.

columns added to news_items: image_id, external_url
new table added: news_item_translations

FYI: I tried..
$ rails generate refinerycms-news --update

but all it did was to generate another create_news_items.rb which won't work because I've already done a create_news_items migration when I initially incorporated the news engine.

I think I can recover by editing this migration and just adding the columns and new table .. but since Refinery has a generator --update mechanism, it would be kind if it were enabled for the engine.

thanks!

I cannot use the _recent_news partial on the home.html.erb. Am I missing something?

Would like to see the ability to order news items based upon user order vs having to display them based on the created_at date

anyone else having this issue?

2-0-stable

Because of this commit: resolve@c0e7a97
migration 3_translate_news_items.rb fails with message "Missing translated field :external_url" when running on new base.

I set this up following your instructions, using Bundler, but script/generate news wouldn't run because for some reason the generators folder didn't exist in my bundled gem. I pulled down the repo and pushed the files in myself.

Not sure if this is a bundler issue or not.

After which would not see the news item on frontend.
When is not set, news item is displayed permanent.

For example if we have 3 news items in April then there would be 3 archive links with text April 2012 (3). There should be only one link for each month.

Could we allow images to be attached to each post similar to the page-images engine?

(Not sure if this belongs here, blog (handy in both) or in the page-images engine..)
