Articles Dates and Left Panel

Hello:

Am using NopCommerce 3.70 with the ArtFactory Theme from Nop-Templates.

I have created an article and it shows fine on my page. But, I assumed that when you create articles, you would not have to add the date yourself if it takes it from the calendar at the time your are actually creating it. It would be nice to be able to have a date added automatically.

The other thing I notice is that when you check the box to have the list of articles on the Left Panel, the article is listed but if you click on it, it leads to an error page not found!!!!

Check it out here: http://www.cizodeco.com/articles and let me know if this is a setting somewhere. Thanks!

>It would be nice to be able to have a date added automatically.

By default plugin takes current date and time for new articles, but the store's owner can change it. Did I understand you correctly?

>The other thing I notice is that when you check the box to have the list of articles on the Left Panel

I saw the problem...
Do you have any plugins for changing routes in your store?

I am not sure what you mean. For the date, it's OK but it does not display on the articles. Is there a setting I need to check somewhere?

Thanks!

You can show this date value too.

Example
Add this code

<span class="article-date">@item.DateUserTimeZone.ToString("D")</span>

I can add the code myself for you too.
Show me the place of the page when you want to see the date value and I'll send you new .cshtml-file.

We released a new version v2.0 (for Nop 3.60, 3.70 and never) and added date.

Hello! Thank you for that! How do I get the download? When I go to my download area it brings me to the product but it's with the price instead of update from already purchase. Unless I am missing something!

Thanks!

You should download plugin from our site from product page.
It's free.
You have had serial number.

Hello again... I have just tried that and it brings me to the cart with a request to pay. There is no place where I can add my license number. I see one button that says DOWNLOAD SAMPLE but that's not what I need... I need the whole version.

Something I don't get?

Thanks!

We don't have demo or full version of plugins.
Plugins have only serial number protection.
Open plugin page and download it.
Don't worry. This is the same version.
How to upgrade plugin?
Replace plugin folder on your site (all files) and restart your site.
Plugin will upgrade itself.

Just Done it. Looks great with the date. Note however, that the date format is not the same in French and English. In English we have the day added before the date (that's great!). Would need to have this in French as well.

My biggest issue, however, remains with the left panel where you replied the following and to which I have no idea what you mean... sorry!

I saw the problem...
Do you have any plugins for changing routes in your store?

If you mean if I have any "redirect" plugins, no I don't. The problems occurs when you click on the title of the article in the panel... leading to a page not found. So, am not sure if there is a set up somewhere.

Thanks!

Hello again:

In working with the plugin, I noticed other issues:

When yo get to the Article page, the date overlaps with the title. Is there not a way to simply have the date shown on the Article Title Line (Home / Articles / the name of the article) located just above the article when you click on the DETAILS from the main article page? On the main page it is fine as it is displayed underneath the Article Title.  http://staging.cizodeco.com/article/a-new-product-that-makes

Another thing is that the Date Format differs in French and English. I actually prefer what you have in English, where you added the day that corresponds to the date. This is cool!

I have looked as well at the option of displaying the articles on the home page. But when I click on "Home Page - Enable Articles on Home Page", it appears twice. Actually, there does not seem to be a difference between that option and when I click on "Home Page - enable pager for articles". So, am not sure if this is a bug!

I haven't really played with the rest in this version yet. So, that's it for now! Thanks!

> Would need to have this in French as well.
I saw it at your site. I don't know. I'll try to find solution.


>If you mean if I have any "redirect" plugins, no I don't.
Ok... I must think too.


>When yo get to the Article page, the date overlaps with the title.
CSS style isn't comfortable for your site... I'll change it for you. Thank you.

> But when I click on "Home Page - Enable Articles on Home Page", it appears twice.
Did you see two article block on Home page? I see only one block on my test site...

>Home page. Enable pager for articles
This feature add pager for Home page for Articles block... By default customer sees on new 4 (you can change this value) articles.

I'll check and answer you tomorrow.

Thank you! For your question regarding if I saw two blocks. Yes.

this is how this appears: http://staging.cizodeco.com/... at least, I see two and am using MS Edge as a browser (it's driving me crazy!!!)

For the French date with the day, you could always just remove the day in the English. That would be fine with me.

Manon :)

I can change all in next update tomorrow.

But if you need dot at once

>When yo get to the Article page, the date overlaps with the title.
Add this css-style

.article-date {
    display: block;
}

> Would need to have this in French as well.
You should change
old code
        

<span class="article-date">-@Model.DateUserTimeZone.ToString("D")</span>

with new code
        

<span class="article-date">-@Model.DateUserTimeZone.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy")</span>

in
ArticleTemplate.Default.cshtml
and
_ArticlesBlock.cshtml

About other problems I'll tomorrow.

1. Homepage
Can you show me your Index.cshtml?

I think you have couple of code

        @Html.Widget("home_page_bottom")

Can you check it?

I sure can... not sure where it's located I don't see that in the root folder.

Am using a template from Nop-Template... the ArtFactory and it might be a style issue. Not sure.

Okay... here's what I have added in my Nop-Template style theme. Not sure if this conflicts with what you have. NO RUSH... CAN BE RESOLVED LATER THIS WEEK:

.footer-lower .accepted-payment-methods {
display: none;
}

.footer-block.social-sharing {
  display: none;
}

.contact-block .footer-menu li.phone,
.contact-block .footer-menu li.fax, {
  display: none;
}

.contact-block .footer-menu {
  display: none;
}

I fixed the bug with wrong URL. Added several css style and Plugin uses one date format for all languages.
Download new version from our site. replace plugin (all files) and restart your site. It's important. Try it.

About double article block on Home page. Did you check your index.cshtml?
