Post by: datahell on April 23, 2010, 20:17:14: Stavros you should start creating wiki (http://wiki.elxis.org) pages for your modules.
For each module/component/template, etc, create a help/presentation page at Elxis wiki.
This will help Elxis users a lot.

Post by: jorgebravoc on June 10, 2010, 03:23:51: I've seen the demo and it looks great. Can I feature Bubbles posts with this module?
Title: Re: Press News
Post by: webgift on June 10, 2010, 08:36:20: Thanks jorgebravoc.!

This module will upadate to show eForum (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/forums/255.html)posts and i will test it also on bubbles. ;)
Title: Re: Press News
Post by: jorgebravoc on June 11, 2010, 08:32:13: Excellent!! Thank you , Looking forward to be able to show Bubbles posts with this module.

The reason is that I have a Comments space on my website (still under construction) where I use Bubbles to allow users to just leave a comment. I would like to display the latest comments with this great module.
Title: Re: Press News
Post by: webgift on June 11, 2010, 08:38:26: ;).

Can you try to install the great eForum (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/forums/255.html)Component . It's a great idea to keep the visitors stand by to your site.
Just have in your mind that too!
Title: Re: Press News
Post by: jorgebravoc on June 13, 2010, 11:14:05: I have been considering that, but I like the simplicity of Bubbles, meaning that it only shows the tittle of the thread and just the content, author and date. I am afraid that eForum is too much for a comments site. I don't want to have a user profile, or having to register to post a topic, etc. Look at my -under construction- website, click on the Cadena de Oración on the top nav bar.....

www.viviendocondios.com

there you will see two dummy posts for testing purposes. This is a site where people can leave praying requests, so I would like to display them with the simplicity of Bubbles...... unless I can configure eForum to look just like the way Bubbles is displaying posts..... I am a bit hesitant on changing the component... I haven't really messed around bit e Forum so I might be missing something here.

I apppreciate your advice :)

Post by: webgift on June 13, 2010, 12:59:49: Ok. I understand the purpose that you want the 'press module' to use. ;)

Title: Re: Press News
Post by: jorgebravoc on June 13, 2010, 23:43:12: Thanks!

Your Press News would be excellent for displaying the latest praying requests on the frontpage; hope it is possible. I appreciate your time.

Post by: Amigamerlin on September 24, 2010, 13:01:48: Ciao Webgift,
Seems that Press News conflict with fisheye menu from Ivan is both are in the same page ... (maybe because bot use mootools / jquery).
Is there any workaround ?
Same problem with UCD modules. Fisheye conflict with it too If I use JQUERY CROSS FADER/SLIDER.

I know that the problem is Fisheye. I will write to Ivan. Anyway I ask to you too.

Let me know
Thank you .

Post by: webgift on September 24, 2010, 13:10:39: Javascript conflicts is the problem when each module uses it's own technology ( JQuery , Prototype.js , Mootools ).
So there are 2 basic section that you can work with.

1st) you can enable each module to be published at different menu items.
2nd) ( Code edit ) If 2 modules uses the same technologies like Mootools you can edit these modules and choose to run from one file both of them. This not means that it will work 100% because it may be using different js libraries.

How I can do the second options?
Title: Re: Press News
Post by: webgift on September 24, 2010, 13:24:23: On your case which you use different js technologies JQuery and Mootools 2nd Step that i wrote you before don't suggested.
I mentioned that in the case of having the same technologies like Mootools and the files that imported on each module conflict each other.

Now the only solution is my 1st suggestion. ;)
Title: Re: Press News
Post by: jorgebravoc on February 21, 2011, 03:14:07: Using Jquery and Mootools will create a conflict that you can fix by following the instructions on this website, this refers to the JQuery noconflict mode: http://davidwalsh.name/jquery-mootools

But you can have conflict using the same kind of technology with different versions. Press News uses Mootools 1.1 I believe, and it causes problems with modules that use Mootools 1.2 or 1.3, there is a compatibility file but I have tried it and it doesn´t fix the problem....

Any chance of having the Press News module use Mootools 1.3 ?
Title: Re: Press News
Post by: webgift on February 21, 2011, 10:29:46: Yes jorgebravoc there will be an upgrade on this module.
