Major Additions - News Management & Portal System Lite

Description: News Management & Portal System Lite (NMAPS) is a portal system that is completely based on news without the use of forums. Instead each news story/review story is stored in the database under its own tables. I have seen many requests for news management system and I decided to create NMAPS, then Bree took it to the next stage with v2 with all the changes and features.

The system will act as a portal or a second frontend for your site. It has many features that I'm sure everyone will enjoy.

* Modules
* Chief Reporter Option
* Cover Story
* Top Story
* Categories
* Reporter CP for managing stories

NOTE: If you like this mod, please click INSTALL, it goes a long way with me.

FAQ:

1. How do I edit the navigation links?
   • Go to your AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > Find NMAPS Templates in the list of templates > Edit nmaps_mod_nav
2. What version of PHP/MySQL is required to use this mod?
   • Unfortunately this mod requires PHP5 or later as well as MySQL5 or later.
3. What does Pro version have that Lite doesn't?
   • Pro has many features that Lite doesn't, right now there is no full demo of Pro and if you wish to be notified when a demo is available please PM me.
4. When is the next version of NMAPS due to be released?
   • I try not to give an exact date as errors, sql fixes, etc could cause dates to be changed therefore I try to give more of a week or 2 weeks as I usually give an exceptional amount of time to allow for fixes and such.
5. My editor isn't showing up when I try to add a new article, what is wrong?
   • Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Message Posting Interface Options then Enable Standard & WYSIWYG Controls under Full Editor. Once done, you must reimport the product with overwrite set to 'Yes' once complete the editor will show up when adding a new article.
6. I receive this error when accessing /admincp/ "Warning: require_once(/includes/adminfunctions_template.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/nmaps.php on line 22
   
   Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/includes/adminfunctions_template.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')"
   • Download the file from Post #378, upload to your /admincp/ directory overwriting the existing file.
7. Admincp and index still showing incorrectly or not at all.
   • Read this Post #391.

Extra Notes: If you wish to translate NMAPS then I ask you translate and email me the language xml file so that I can properly get it added to the mod pack.

Languages Being Translated to:
* Chinese
* German

NOTE: I have removed the nmaps zip file until I have released the new version. Countdown till new version is at 3 days 12 hours.

GaiLoan: Not sure why you got that error, that was the point in the IGNORE part.

If you dont mind why dont you email and respond to other support requests or at least update the modification adding the missing typo and putting come comments crediting the author its a three second task...

SLR722: Why don't you? I do things a certain way, I don't update a mod 3 or 4 times in a day, I would prefer 1 large update to handle many fixes. Another thing, I have put over 5 months of work into this mod so doing these little updates isn't really worth it when I plan to have another update anyway. I never told peeps they couldn't email me, I said no PM's so those wishing to get support via email are more than welcome to email me or go to my site. I have posted my email 3 times so not much else I can do there. And yes I do mind you asking, why, because you haven't even clicked install for the mod so you'll never know when I update as I send update emails.

joey: Not too sure why your having the issue with inactive modules. Once I release the FULL update then if it still doesn't work we will try to get it working again.

When I upgraded my vB to 3.7.2 the main nmaps page is showing nothing except the vB menu integrated into it. It was working before. And the latest is not a fix for it either.

Is there a way around this or just upgrade hoping it will solve it.

Same problem after I upgraded to 2.0.7
I can't get in admincp of nmaps and the main page is blank

Its a Typo in the Admincp nmaps.php file, read it here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=385

[ade5675]

I uninstalled and uploaded the nmaps file from the link below
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=378

Then I tried to re-install using the nmaps but I get another error while installing it.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/wazob3/public_html/mysite/admincp/nmaps.php on line 161
