How to make Demo find my own News?

Monday 21 April 2003 11:14:41 pm

I'm learning how Demo works by using the Demo pagelayout on a non-Demo site. So I have the standard database loaded, but not the Demo DB items.

My first test, how News articles behave, isn't behaving. Nothing shows on the home page in the News box. Recent headlines are supposed to appear.

I've tried the node ID of my News folder, and of a News article. Nothing appears. When I put text in the News box, it appears. When I put text within the loop=$news_list, nothing appears, which is what I'd expect when nothing is retrieved.

news_list=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,16,limit,5,sort_by,array(published,false()),class_filter_type,include,class_filter_array,array(2)))}

I also tried a stripped-down version. It's hard to tinker with anything when documentation for content, list, and hash() can't be found.

news_list=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,16))}

The error_log is still showing:

With Debug, I am seeing the following (image files not copied to my test area, so they should be missing):

16 is in the "id" field of "News" in table ezcontentobject. That must be the object ID.

I think the node ID is 160, as table eznode_assignment has an ID of 160 in the "id" field of the row with "contentobject_id" of 16.

16 find nothing.
160 ... well, finds one thing with item.name="Root folder" and item.node_id=2. But only when I strip off all the parameters other than "parent_node_id,160".

I thought "parent_node_id,160" searched for items with 160 as the parent, not searching for the item which is the parent of node 160. (not that it's documented anyplace but examples)

Ah, yes. Objectid 16 happens to be nodeid 17, with path_identification_string "news". Nothing retrieved, even by the simpler
news_list=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,17))}
{section name=News5 loop=$news_list}
{$News5:item.name}<br />
{$News5:item.node_id}<br />
{/section}
