News Question

Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2005 5:27 am

I am trying to figure out how to make the following thing look the same:

On this site:

http://www.4support.org/modules.php?name=News&new_topic=2

you can see that the first news announcement does not have the duplication in the title as the second one does :

News: ** GOOD NEWS ** Michelle's Update">News: ** GOOD NEWS ** Michelle's Update

The only way I can get the duplication to not show up is to select "Articles" when submitted but I want to be able to not have it posted on the main page.

Any suggestions?

Hmm, wondering why you have the double quotes character in there, its almost is if it is trying to post a link in title.

Possible that your theme.php has something duplicated in the themeindex() function or the story_home.html
It really does depend on how the theme is coded

this may be it. I changed Themes and it corrected.

Thanx

Sorry if this was already answered, I've tried, "double subject article", "double title" and "duplicate title". This post was only one I found.

I can confirm that this is isolated to: fisubice Theme

Because when I change to another theme, it disappears, therefore most likely pointed to fisubice Theme that is the culprit.

Yet, I cannot figure out what's causing the duplicate titling.

This is in story_home.html:

Quote:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#486386"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td height="27" style="background-image: url(/themes/fisubice/images/cellpic3.gif)"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td><font class="storytitle"><b title="$title">$title</b></font><font class="block-title"> </font></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#F4F6FB"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td><a href="modules.php?name=News&new_topic=$topic" title="$topictext"><img src="$tipath$topicimage" border="0" alt="$topictext" title="$topictext" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10"></a><font class="storycontent">$content</font></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="27" bgcolor="#F4F6FB"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td ><div align="center"><font class="content">$posted</font><br><font class="content">$morelink</font></div></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>

This is in theme.php:

Quote:

/************************************************************/
/* Function themeindex() */
/* */
/* This function format the stories on the Homepage */
/************************************************************/

function themeindex ($aid, $informant, $time, $title, $counter, $topic, $thetext, $notes, $morelink, $topicname, $topicimage, $topictext) {
global $anonymous, $tipath;
if ($notes != "") {
$notes = "<br><br><b>"._NOTE."</b> <i>$notes</i>\n";
} else {
$notes = "";
}
if ("$aid" == "$informant") {
$content = "$thetext$notes\n";
} else {
if($informant != "") {
global $admin, $user;
if (is_user($user)||is_admin($admin)) $content = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=$informant\">$informant</a> ";
else $content = $informant.' ';//Raven 10/16/2005
} else {
$content = "$anonymous ";
}
$content .= ""._WRITES." <i>\"$thetext\"</i>$notes\n";
}
$posted = ""._POSTEDBY." ";
// $posted .= get_author($aid);
if (is_user($user)||is_admin($admin)) $posted .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=$aid\">$aid</a>";
else $posted .= $aid; //Raven 10/16/2005
$posted .= " "._ON." $time $timezone ($counter "._READS.")";
$tmpl_file = "themes/fisubice/story_home.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;
}

Do you see anything obvious?

Note this only happens on main page, it isn't a problem when after you click on 'Read More...' as the title isn't duplicated.

In story_home you can see the title repeated twice in this line

Code:

<td><font class="storytitle"><b title="$title">$title</b></font><font class="block-title">&nbsp;</font></td>

Thanks for your sharp eyes.

Raven might want to fix that as it came with RN 2.02:

<td><font class="storytitle"><b>$title</b></font><font class="block-title"> </font></td>

in story_home.html

I believe it already has been as it was reported and the fix posted in the RN forums here.
