New Articles DO NOT POST! Article Images DO NOT WORK!
I have just spent about 6 hours attempting to correct these problems. New articles are posted to a directory, but not to the front page. Article images do not display whatsoever. I can use an ID, HTML, or any other menagerie of tags and it won’t display unless I add in that tag. Adding the image tag then destroys the formatting of the page and is a huge hassle.
I am using a customized theme and style derived from the ‘‘USB’‘ style.
I am very, very frustrated right now and I’m hoping one of you can help me out.
#1) Posting an article will not show it on the main page unless it has NO CATEGORY
#2) Article Image will not display at all
I doubt it’s the CSS so here is the “default” HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=“en” lang=“en”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=utf-8” />
<title><txp:page_title /></title>
<link rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” media=“screen” href=”<txp:css />” />
<script language=“JavaScript” src=“images/rollovers.js” type=“text/javascript”></script>
<script language=“JavaScript” type=“text/javascript”>
<!—
JSFX.Rollover(“main_page”, “images/main_page_over.gif”);
JSFX.Rollover(“forums”, “images/forums_over.gif”);
JSFX.Rollover(“login”, “images/login_over.gif”);
JSFX.Rollover(“signup”, “images/signup_over.gif”);
//—>

Re: New Articles DO NOT POST! Article Images DO NOT WORK!
<txp:article allowoverride="0" form="default" limit="7" pgonly="0" searchall="1" searchsticky="0" sort="Posted desc" status="4" />
You can leave all attributes except limit out because they are the defaults. And it could be the status="4" that’s causing problems, it should be status="live" (but that’s also the default value so leave it out).
If that doesn’t make a difference check this:
- Is the section your articles are in set to appear on the front page (Presentation > Sections)?
- Is there a
<txp:article_image />tag in the ‘default’ article form?

Nope should there be?

If you want to display the article image, yes ;)

…it could be the
status="4"that’s causing problems…
(FYI: either works, actually. :))
Posting an article will not show it on the main page unless it has NO CATEGORY…
What does your default form look like?
