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.

Features:
* Portal
* Modules
* Chief Reporter Option
* Cover Story
* Top Story
* Categories
* Reporter CP for managing stories
* Phrased
* Admin Settings without using vBulletin's Options page
* Usergroup Permissions
* User Perms
* Phrased

Review: Meet the Geeks review of NMAPS

Installation:
Plugins: 4
File Uploads: 16
Files to Import: 1
Directories to Upload: 7

REQUIREMENTS: At least 3.7.1 or later
PHP 5 or later

Support will be given in this thread.

Enjoy and I hope to get suggestions for 2.1

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.

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.

I reckon we should just give Steve a break. He's clearly worked his ass off on this and not everyone's world revolves around the Internet. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to this project, Steve - it's certainly greatly appreciated.

ade: I suggest upgrading, 2.0.5 was never tested on 3.7.2 but 2.0.7 was but as I stated, upgrade but upload all files except the admincp file nmaps.php

Thanks buddy! Looking forward to using this!

Thank you all, right now moving from a file install system to an xml install isn't an easy task IMO. Right now I'm having to make sure I have everything covered otherwise there is a chance that the templates won't get installed or phrases, etc. Right now I don't have an exact day but I'm trying very hard to get it done ASAP.

There is a small typo in the code of the nmaps.php file.

Steve, I hope you don't mind that I fixed it and uploaded the fixed file as an attachment here.

This nnmaps.php file must be upload in the admincp folder.

Kru: Actually, I was aware there was a typo, thanks for doing it tho.

Mattimus: 1 mod cannot cause your admincp to completely mess up especially when its running on its own file system and settings.

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

That last file fixed my admincp issues. However, I'm still left with the issue that I do not have an "Inactive Module" box in my "Manage Modules" screen.

Anyone else have this issue???

I am attaching a copy of my screen for your review.
