Znote website Editing News

[Polarbear72]

I am trying to figure out how to edit the news on my website. I'm sure i've overlooked it but I just can't seem to find the correct files to edit the news

Make sure you've given your account admin permissions. Put the account name in this config.php array:

$config['page_admin_access']

I added it and it shows i can click the edit news etc however it brings this up when i click it

This page isn’t working​

alphaairdrop.hopto.org is currently unable to handle this request.


HTTP ERROR 500

This is all the code inside the actual admin_news PHP file

    // Delete
    if ($action === 'd') {

        mysql_delete("DELETE FROM `znote_news` WHERE `id`='$id';");
        $cache = new Cache('engine/cache/news');
        $news = fetchAllNews();
        $cache->setContent($news);

    }
    // Add news

Are you sure you've formatted the array correctly. It should be like this:

$config['page_admin_access'] = array(
'XXXXXXXXXX',
'XXXXXXXXXX',
);

Also, you have a random "hi" on line 20 xD

 

[Polarbear72]

not sure why me and my brother work together to script for the server so maybe he did it? lol

 

[Boy67]

so make sure the config array is formatted correctly, and remove the "hi".

Is it now working?

 

[Polarbear72]

the XXXXXXXX are just there to remove names but I have set them and the accounts do have access just when you try to load the news it says it cant load

also i removed the hi and still nothing

Correction --- after removing the hi it now works
