| ARTICLES FORMATS | November 4, 2006 @ 2:31pm | In which file is the code that interprets the {FlexCMS-Articles|1|0,5|} to format the articles - I would like to add some additional alternatives.
Also, where is the code for the input form to define the {FlexCMS-Articles|1|0,5|}
Regards, Chris |

The code for processing that is located in the index.php file. Search for "na-articles" and that should bring you to it.
I'm not sure what you're asking with your other question.

| error in placing articles in pages | July 24, 2008 @ 4:05pm | I would like to use the add articles to a page feature in a custom block. I added the provided code from the article manager into my custom block:
{FlexCMS-Articles|1|0,5|}
I enabled the functions and then received the error about unexpected ","
I also set this same code into the index page to test it out, but rec'd the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /data/home/vfcweb/websites/vfcboard.vancouverfood.coop/docs/index.php(1736) : eval()'d code on line 1
this is a dmeo site and will go live when i can get these glitches ironed out! any help is really appreciated. |

| July 24, 2008 @ 4:20pm | The code you got from the Add Articles To Page form should work fine in a page, but it does not work in blocks. To use it in a page, simply paste that in wherever you'd like them to appear. Make sure PHP is not enabled on the section you've added that to, it sounds like that may have been the cause of your errors.
To add them to a block, you can cheat and use the code from FlexCMS directly in your block:
Code
if ($IM['na'] == 'y') {
$query_na = "select * from `".$Settings['DBPrefix']."na-Settings`";
$result_na = mysql_query($query_na) or die (mysql_error());

$naSettings[$row_na['Name']] = $row_na['Value'];

Modify this line: "print AddArticles2('1','0,5','');" to match your "{FlexCMS-Articles|1|0,5|}" tag (the three sections at the end)
That would of course be PHP enabled.
