headlines...

[apocan]

instead of using forward and back to change the headlines articles can we make numbers under the summary of headlines as 1-2-3-4 ? and when we click on the numbers other headlines articles will be shown...

is this possible?

Hey i like this very much.

Infact this is really excellent. I have seen a few news sites have this, i think netscape has this too.

There is a simple customization that can produce this...

PHP:
(this applies to 3.5 clean install)
includes/box/HTML_article_list.php

find $pattern (around line 45) and replace it with

$pattern=array(
'{ROOT}',
'{ID}',
'{CREATED}',
'{AUTHOR}',
'{CAPTION_TITLE}',
'{LINK}',
'{IMAGE}',
'{BODY}',
'{CATEGORY_NAME}',
'{IMAGE_WIDTH}',
'{IMAGE_HEIGHT}',
'{BOX_WIDTH}',
'{REDIRECT_LINK}',
'{REDIRECT_CAPTION}',
'{COUNTER}'
);


find $replacement (around line 82) and replace it with

$replacement=array(
WP_URL,
$article->Id,
vivvo_date($article->Created, true),
$article->get_author_info(),
$article->Title,
$article->get_href(),
$article->Image,
$article->get_summary($article_params['word_number']),
$article->get_category_name(),
$vp_size['width'],
$vp_size['height'],
$box_width,
$redirect_link,
$redirect_caption,
$count + 1
);


now you can use {COUNTER} in your template files like this

<li>{COUNTER} <a href="{ROOT}{LINK}">{CAPTION_TITLE}</a></li>

(article_title.tpl for boxes)

I misunderstood you the first time :(

To accomplish what you want to do, you'll need to know JS and CSS (or find some unobtrusive JS that does the trick). On PHP side what you need to do is change HTML_featured_news.php in include/box.

if ($ajax){
$output = HTML_article_list(
false,
'',
array(),
'headlines.xml.tpl',
array('image_width' => $headlines_image_width, 'image_height' => $headlines_image_height, 'word_number' => $headlines_word_number),
array('a.status' => 1, 'a.created' => $cur_date, 'a.featured_news' => 1, 'a.id' => $id),
'order_desc',
'descending',
1
);


change the number at the bottom (1) to how much articles you want to be in tabs.

For JS tabs I suggest you check out http://livepipe.net/projects/control_tabs/ (it is a prototype based tabbing).

Good luck with your customization.
