Semi live site

[calaf6 +]

I think I have finished the first section of the site, colour will look better when there are more jobs on it and its just a band round the outside (I hope). The theory is that it needs to be quick and very easy to use as people may well be at work when they are using it!!

I know of 3 things I need to do, which are

1) get Maffo's news module to show the top 4 or 5 on the left under the Nav box (without shifting the rest of the homepage down ) hence the space waiting for it

2) put the adsense banner ad bit at the top on the right hand side, which is why there is a space there

3) get different 'no logo' (photo) icons, but I am crap with photoshop so thats not easy for me!!

Is there anything obvious to you guys that I need to do, as I have seen it so much I am looking but not seeing!!

Oh, special thanks to lhotch and juven14 for all the help a while back, this is the one the mods were for

Just wait until I start the Martian section of it

Edited to add the site!! Everything4jobs

To place the news mod in that left hand column underneath nav table, you will need to create a new table directly underneath where the nav table terminates ie... </tr></table>

Create a new table <table><tr><td>INSERT MAFF CODE HERE</td></tr></table>

Let me know if this doesnt work

It was green before, isn’t it?
Maybe better Users Online Module from mods.auscity.com instead of visitors counter.

I did that, and the same thing happened as my first attempt so I must have been closer than I thought wit the code!! it came up with

LANG_TPL_LATEST_NEWS
LANG_TPL_ALL_LATEST_NEWS
LANG_TPL_POPULAR_NEWS
LANG_TPL_ALL_POPULAR_NEWS

On the home page and all other pages, but it shows perfectly on the news page, so there must be something else fron the news template that I am missing.


SKGold, yes it was green, but it showed up too much if people wanted to log on quietly and were at work, the blue ties in a bit more with Windows colours I do intend to have the people online counter, but need to wait until people are there to be counted first, or it will be empty!!

I will try playing with it when I have had something to eat!!

Sounds like the module language file isn't getting loaded. I'll take a look and see.

[calaf6 +]

Thanks, is it worth me copying the language file to the 68 template directory?

[John Snyder +]

I think it could be considered a bug - however, it can be fixed within the module.

What is happening is the module file is being executed before its language file is being loaded. This is due to the positioning within the init.php file for the frontend of the classifieds script.

This is being called first:

PHP Code:

$modules->call_hook('start', ''); // Call any module functions 


Then this is loaded after:

PHP Code:

$modules->call_hook('load_language', $language); // Call any module functions 


For modules that need to run on every page they use this start hook in the init.php file and this causes a need for the language to be loaded again in the module's start hook function.

This appears to be done in the Maffo News Module, can you pm me your FTP details and I'll take a look and see why you are getting this result.

Thanks, I can see the logic in what you are saying, have sent a pm

Ok guys, Im also looking at this yet struggling to replicate it on my site. Will let you know my findings.

Thanks very much to Juven14, news now on every page and I highly reccomend the mod to anyone else, it works really well.

Just banner ads to sort out now!!
