Server News
is it possible to manage the Dashboard Server News like we could in V8 System Dashboard > System > Software > Server News or is it just a case of editing newsdisplay.php.

Re: Server News
If you go into the Core/includes - systemdashboard.php you should see $this->include_namespace('core','servnewsint',array()); towards the bottom.
either comment it out or move it somewhere else in the display.

Re: Server News
Hi Zanart,
thanks for the reply. I actually want to keep the display because I like to have all my notes showing there, I have edited the newsdisplay.php so it displays my new include (codechanges.php) but I would like to have the ability to delete individual server news items and see new ones as they arrive (like I could in version 8). These are the edits I made to newsdisplay.php which shows my new include where the server news was but does not show any server news. I think the function to manage server news must have been removed for V9
Code:
<?php
$app = $this->globals('core.app');
$ns = $this->globals('core.namespace');
$news = $this->globals('core.news_list');
$eol = $this->globals('core.eol');
print '<div class="kpadded kbotmarginfull">' . $eol;
print '<h2>Code Changes to E-Commerce V9 and useful info</h2>' . $eol;
$this->include_file('ecom','codechanges.php');
// print '<h2>Recent Server News</h2>' . $eol;
// if (!(empty($news))) {
// print '<div class="kgridsep kgrid1 ktopmarginfull">' . $eol;
// foreach ($news as $article => $data) {
// $x_id = $this->xhtml_encode($data['id']);
// $x_newstitle = $this->xhtml_encode($data['newstitle']);
// $x_newsurl = $this->xhtml_encode($data['newsurl']);
// $x_newsteaser = $this->xhtml_encode($data['newsteaser']);
// $x_time = $this->xhtml_encode($data['time']);
// print '<div class="kgridbox">' . $eol;
// print '<div class="kbotmarginhalf kbig"><a class="kbasecolor" href="' . $x_newsurl . '" title="' . $x_newstitle . '" rel="external">';
// print $x_newstitle . '</a></div>' . $eol;
// print '<div class="kmid kbotmarginhalf">' . $x_time . ': ' . $x_newsteaser . '</div>' . $eol;
// print '</div>' . $eol;
// } // End of foreach statement.
// print '</div>' . $eol;
// } else {
// print '<p>No news available.</p>' . $eol;
// } // End of if statement.
print '</div>' . $eol;

Re: Server News
In V8 and lower the software pulled news from the Kryptronic central server, stored it locally and allowed you to delete articles after you read them. In K9 that was changed to a live feed, with no storage.

Re: Server News
thanks for that, I more or less know what I'm doing now.
Would also like to mention that I'm really impressed with Version 9!!
