not working

[indie]

Hi:
In the cmps, I changed the name of "news archive" to what I wanted, and it still says "news archive" on the portal. what happened, does this not work? In theCP it reflects the name I saved. thx

[Brian]

There shouldn't be any reason why it wouldn't work... Did you perhaps change it in the wrong language?

[indie]

Hmm, i don't even see what you mean. I just got to "edit modules". and I click on the "news archive" module. Then, in the 1st box, I change News Archive to my custom text. It saves the text in the cmps, and appears in the menu of the cmps modules, but on my forum, the module still says News Archive. thanks

Is it possible that in the code for the home page, News Archive is permenately there, so it would have to be changed by hand?

thanks

[Brian]

You have to change it in either the template (adv_portal_news_archive), or the phrase (news_archive).

[indie]

cool thanks. If I wanted to add another news module that I actually used for news, could I do that? How would I add it again? And if this is the case, which of the above would i chage so it wouldnt affect the 1st news mudule title that i am using for custim content.
PS, isnt there code I can enter that will reflect the name of the module?thanks

[indie]

Do you think in 2.0 changing it in the cp will change it in the module? that would be great. thanks!

[Brian]

Possibly.

What could be wrong??

Double check that you have the 'adv_portal_news_archive' and 'adv_portal_news_archivebits' templates, and that you have a value set for the number of archived news posts to display on your 'Home / Default' page.

I have those templates and the

Number of Archived News Posts to Display

Set this to the number of news posts you would like to displayin the News Archive. Set this to 0 to disable the News Archive.
