irgendwelche Ideen?


I have a problem with the news boxes in the template, after I deleted all the text in them, I can't edit the boxes anymore.

any ideas?

Hi arnoX,

please specify "can't edit the boxes anymore": are the newsboxes gone from the TOC (menu) when you're in edit mode? Can't you enter anything to the editor? Is the editor gone? Did you delete the text in WYSIWYG or HTML mode?

And please tell us the CMSimple version you're using. A link to your site might be useful too.

PS: Did you perhaps delete all the text including the Heading (News01)?
In this case the page is completely deleted! So you have to create the page again with heading "News01" (or "News02" or "News03") and set it's visibility status to hidden. This can be done by using Pagemanager (Adminmenu -> "Seiten" in CMSimple_XH 1.5) and unchecking the checkbox.

I deleted all the text incl headings in News01 and News02, in Wysiwyg mode, now the two floating boxes still show up in preview mode and in edit mode but I cannot select them to add any new text. DOn't know how to recreate them, I have only the pages in the navigation (menu) on the left and nothing more in pagemanager

edit: version is 1.5 from dec. 19th

If I understand it correctly you have deleted pages named News01 etc. Then no content can be shown in newsboxes. However, if the newsboxes are styled with their dimensions, background, borders etc. they will be shown in template even if empty.
The newsbox function is called in your template as:

Code: Select all

<?php echo newsbox("newspage_name");?>

It means a page with the name used in the function call must be present (visible or hidden in the navigation).
If you have deleted entire news pages you must create new ones.
1. Create a page and name it News01.
2. Add any content you want to this page.
It should appear in the first newsbox.

Hello arnoX,

DOn't know how to recreate them, I have only the pages in the navigation (menu) on the left and nothing more in pagemanager

There should be a toolbar above the pages in pagemanager (see http://3-magi.net/plugins/pagemanager/h ... .htm#usage). Just select the last shown page by clicking and then press on the tool icon showing a white page with a red down arrow. Name the new page "News01", and uncheck it's checkbox. Then create "News02" and "News03" the same way, and save your changes.

Hello arnoX,

that is not a template related problem. You simply have deleted the hidden pages, whose contents are displayed in the news boxes.

At first you should read the relevant pages of the documentation:

Hi arnoX,

Box is filled again and can now be edited.

That's fine.

I will read the manual now

Please note that several changes in XH 1.5 are not documented yet, particularly the section about FCKeditor must be updated (now it's tinyMCE by default).
