Hi, all the staffs of AL
I like the software so much. Great job
I was running a AL asp.net before and I swtiched to php recently. In .net, to modify panel is easy, because you have pre made panels so that i just need to upload it and apply it.But for php. you dont have those pre made panels(small news panel..etc) so it is really hard for me to do coding. I have no knowledge of php.

My questions
I need to put news panel at the right column(only heading) on my default page.(show 20 news)
I need to put a text counter on every article including blogs
i need to grab news from yahoo and I have news grabber but I dont know where to put the php code. I tried to put php code in default page, but it i didnt work. I think i need a php page to put php code. Below is my php code

<?php
require_once '/home/tashi/carp/carp.php';
CarpCacheShow('http://www.geckotribe.com/press/rss/pr.rss');
?>
Where should i insert this code? I am trying to run RSS news on my frontpage.

Thank you so much.

Hi there,

Panels work in much the same way for both the .Net and PHP version. They both live in the templates/template_name/Panels/ directory.

If you want that php code displayed on the right hand side (all the time), edit the templates/template_name/Panels/DefaultRightPanel.php file and place it where you need it.

Information about editing the panels & templates is in our guide - http://www.interspire.com/articlelive/documentation.php . Go to the PHP installation guide, then look at the Skins/Templates section.

Let us know if you need more information.

Dear Chris
I post my php code inside the Defaultrightpanel.php but it didnt work. My whole site went blank.
Also, I need a small news panel with only title and link.Showing 20 articles title.
I also need to put a text counter on every article. Again, where should i put my php scripts counter. Please help. Thank you so much. BTW, I am going to upgrade for phpAL.

Hi,

If your whole site went blank then you most likely created a parse error in PHP (check your code - run 'php -l filename.php' from the command line).

You can put a text counter on every article by editing the Panels/ViewArticlePanel.php file (if it's a PHP counter - if it's just an image or something edit the Panels/ViewArticlePanel.html).

Hi Crist, I still cant fix the problem. I installed the php counter but the counter is counting all the pages as one page.BTW, Is there any php code to retrieve the static from AL on the article page? I mean can you show me the code. Thank you.

Anyone can help me create a small news box for AL php. I would like to show only title and link. Thank you.

Hi,

Without seeing the counter code I can't offer any suggestions (I guess it's ignoring the full url and just using the page - eg 'articles.php').

What statistics are you talking about?
