For some reason articles arn't working for me at all. If I enter content into an article then go try and see it as admin it just displays a blank page (blocks show but where the content should be it's just blank).
any ideas?
Hello Psychoboy, welcome to TinyPortal.
Please read the Posting Guidelines.html (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,581)
Please post the requested info so that we may know how to help you.
One thing to check... articles must be assigned to a category before they will display.
Sorry about that
SMF 1.1.7
TP 1.0.6
The articles are in the categories. I have removed all additional packages. Tried it with the default theme. I took it down to where it was the only modification was TP. Articles still did not display.
Here is the link to the article

It should say "Testing the article system."
If the article is set to 'display on front page' try setting it 'featured' to see if that gives you the desired result.
I've got exactly the same problem, sometimes it helps to create another article and copy+paste the previous one.
Seems to only occur when creating an article without the intro text.
SMF 1.1.5 + TP 1.0.6 beta2
I just tried that. Didn't seem to work either. I tried with intro text also.
Try and read back some in the bugtracker and you will see that it's bugs.
They will be fixed in the next release of tp
When is the next version of TP coming out? (http://docs.tinyportal.co.uk/index.php?topic=15)
Is there a posted fix I can manually apply for now? Since that post you linked to is about 6 months old.
No fixes until the next release, that was what i posted to, an explanation on how we see things with our releases of TP
If you have frontpage blocks turned on, turn them off and the articles should show.
can you post screenshot please?
Where has the "article box" or "sigle article" choice gone in the menus, when you want to define a new block? I can't call an article in a block.
It was removed from the list but will be back in the next release.
And the next time you post, can you please start your own topic and follow our postinguide we have :)
OK thanks, so does that mean that until then, it is NOT possible to call an article in a bloc, without having ti actually paste the code in the box? This is a serious "downgrade" of an essential funtion!
My forum, and all the ads and articles I had prepared, are now...messed up. I can't use them.. Its 'a shame.
The plan was to convert the article-block into a block code snippet instead. But as it turned out the feature was being more used than anticipated so the block-type will return.
But why are you showing a whole article inside a block when there is both HTML and PHP type of blocks doing the same thing? articles by definition is bigger texts displayed in the content area - if you are outputting a lot of articles solely as blocks it not really efficient as it requires extra calls to just get the articles into the blocks. In comparison all blocks used are fetched in just one call.
Hmmm. Well my idea was to have blocks at a fixed position, and contextual, to display diffrent ads by section/board (each ad in a php article), without having to hard code every bloc. It worked OK even if the user interface of Tiny is awful, kinda sovietic... ;-)

If the fix is known why can't we get the fix to apply to our existing sites? Waiting for the next release could be a very long time and this is a very critical thing I believe for general functionality.
Btw I tried this with all my blocks disabled and it still did not work.
If all your panels are turned off, then that is an entirely different issue. You should probably go through the manual TP install and make sure all the edits to files are done, and all the files are in place. If that doesn't work, you need to start your own topic.
This is my own topic. And yes All panels and blocks are off and I have verified the install multiple times even with the default theme and all packages off.
I didn't mean to say your own topic. I meant to say to start another topic for a different issue.
Why start another thread? My original issue that I posted is still there. My articles do not show up.
Sorry, I obviously interpreted your last post wrong. I thought that you were saying something else. Either way, you have a manual install to go through.

The reason is that it isn't a simple fix, it involved changing the code in many places. It also meant some code whih is dependant on other things and even database changes were changed to correct the issue. In short: too much to just post in a topic.
