Bendensin Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) I just installed News and it's pulling the "news" from a database used by another third-party app called Company Directory, which has an option to allow company profile owners to post their news stories about their company. After I installed it I took a look at it and the news stories there are ones posted by a lawyer in his profile page in Company Directory. I'm thinking that News is configured to create or use a database with the same name as the one Company Directory uses. So any company news a company owner writes in his profile in Company Directory, it appears as a story in News. Here's a screenshot of the News application installation, there you can see that it's pulling a lawyer's three news stories from his business profile in Company Directory. Can something be done to stop News from pulling "news" from the Company Directory application? I also tried to configure the permissions for News. It took me to the overall permissions page. When I clicked on the "Member" group permissions option (the lock icon), there was no permissions tab for News. It seems to be the same for all member groups. So there's no way for me to set permissions that I can see. Edited November 2, 2020 by Bendensin
Unlucky Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Hi, Is this going to be updated to 4.5 Can you please let me know, thanks
Michael.J Posted December 1, 2020 Author Posted December 1, 2020 Yes but there will be delays due to IPB 4.5 requirements. You can view the status of updates here - https://www.devfuse.com/forums/topic/12381-ipboard-45-update/?tab=comments#comment-27086
Michael.J Posted December 31, 2020 Author Posted December 31, 2020 A new update for IP.Board 4.5.x has been released that IPS have yet to approve.
Bendensin Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 I'm using IP Community version 4.5.4.2 and News version 2.3.0. I'm trying to upload and install News version 2.3.1. But when I try to upload and install it, I'm getting this message: Quote 2C133/4 The application you are attempting to install appears to be installed already. To reinstall the application you must first uninstall it. I certainly don't want to uninstall it, because I've already got news stories there. How can I upgrade to version 2.3.1?
Nathan Explosion Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Go to your app listing....if the app says 'Marketplace' then updates need to be from there. You use of 'upload' implies you are actually uploading the tar file, which is only possible with 'Custom' apps in the app listing.
Bendensin Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks for the reply! I went to the Applications section of my Admin CP, found News had a tag on it saying "Update Available." I clicked on that and went to a page on DevFuse, about news, with no option to update or download anything. Next at the top of my Admin CP, I clicked the link to "add new applications from the marketplace" and searched for and found News. The only button available said "Install," so I clicked on that. I got this message: So whatever I do, I can't upgrade News version 2.3.0 with version 2.3.1 without over-writing everything and deleting the news stories I have so far. Could this be a problem on my end somehow? As anybody else been able to update to version 2.3.1 without having this issue?

If it says 'Marketplace', and it is doing what you say when you click to update, then log a ticket with support. If it says 'Custom' then either: contact the developer to obtain the update to then manually upload it or log a ticket with support to request assistance with converting the app from 'Custom' to 'Marketplace' Edited February 10, 2021 by Nathan Explosion Michael.J 1
Bendensin Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 I don't know how you thought of that possibility, Nathan, but you hit the nail on the head. I see now it's set to "Custom." I was going to ask how to change it to Marketplace, but you've answered my question in advance! Thank you, Nathan. I'll open a ticket to get it changed. Michael.J 1
Bendensin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Just to close the loop on this, I had erroneously assigned the News app as a custom app. That was exactly the problem. I opened a ticket in within an hour or so the Invision Community folks changed the setting for me. I was then able to update the app with no problem. Thanks again, Nathan, for your help.

Or have any template customization for the News template bits? Seems to be working on a fresh install on IPB 4.5

Michael.J Posted November 2, 2021 Author Posted November 2, 2021 New update released pending approval with minor bug fix. Quote Bug fix for fatal error when selecting my news filter.
CyanideBurial Posted December 15, 2021 Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Would there be anyway to have the news widget use list rather than grid? I think it looks nicer on the front page to use the list style that the actual news front page uses. Also is there gonna be support to add tags to news? i also noticed if you have any styling on your usergroup it doesnt use it in the news section like the rest of the site does.
