Hi,

Just a quick reply, not directed at anyone. Posted for all visiting this thread to consider.

Not tried this tweaker yet. However as it provides RSS functionality to the news pages, then I presume the RSS feed could be easily tied into Google's Feedburner service. Then you can provide news updates via email on a nanoCMS site using this module! Just a matter on then pasting the html code Feedburner provide into the website.

If your using Google's Feedburner RSS to email subscription option with this tweak, be great to have feedback in the modules discussion area. http://www.nanocms.co.uk/forum/forum-12.html

Regards

Andrew

Just tried it out with Feedburner, and it looks like it works. I've actually never used that service, so I'm not even entirely sure what it does.

everything works fine, so far...
...but when i click the title link, the style sheet and images are not loaded in the page.
Is this normal behavior or is there something that must be changed???

When you define your stylesheet in the header of your index.php, it needs to be an absolute path.

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css" />

Note the leading slash in the href attribute.

how stupid to forget a / . . .

Took me a while to figure it out the first time...

Hi,

I just tried to install this, and I found a few issuses along the way. I'm completely new to nanoCMS, but I find it a good alternative since it lacks the database... :-)

Reference to nanoCMS-admin-file:
I see that this tweak referes to nanoadmin.php, not admin.php which is the admin-file for nanoCMS. I solved this by "ln -s admin.php nanoadmin.php".

index.dat-file:
The index.dat-file should be emptied in the installation-download, it was a bit confusing when a lot of posts showed up, with no clue of where they were...

URL-rewrite
I've also a problem with the URL-rewrite when displaying a single post. Somehting happens so the post is not displayed as a .php-file with the correct css. If I disable URL-rewrite, (which works fine for the rest of nanoCMS), the post is displayed within the framework.

Settings:
The "news page"-selection in the Settings view is also blank, and I had to set that manual in config.ini.

I'm looking forward to start using this more.

Best regards,

-roger

By the way: Is it possible to have more than on page in nanoCMS which in turn points to it's own instance of the news/blog-tweak?
