Thanks for the reply, Kevin.

Just to clarify, once I have SMTP access, I can add older articles to the
KMStore via the "article editing page"? It's just not possible via the
management interface. Also there is no way as of this version, to remove the
Author and Date/Time tags?

Another question: when you're on byproducts.com, you're able to link to
articles like this:
http://www.byproducts.com/art/2000/6/961509971/ what I'm finding is that
when I link like this on my site, I just get a blank page - I have to add
index.html in order for anything to show. Is it just me or is there
something I have to do?

Thanks again


Wes

[Zope] KM|net News help

2000-06-28 Thread Wesley Anderson



Being a 
newbie, I've decided to use the KM|net News product as a base to get my 
magazine/newspaper site off the ground. I've found it OK so far, but one of the 
problems I'm having isadding old (ie archived) articles to the database. I 
go in and create a new KMYear (1999) and a 
new month (1). When I get to the "add KMArticle" and try and enter an Id (even 
with 9 numbers), I get an Invalid date/time string error. How can I create valid 
Id's? Once I have a valid Id, I assume I'll be able to create an article 
(incoming.html?)

I'd also like 
to get rid of the "By" (my authors don't identify themselves) and the date/time 
stamp. Where do I find the code for this?
Also, is there 
any way of getting around the fact that you have to approve an article. In the 
'Editing Articles" section of the documentation, you're told you "will recieve a 
message with a link to the edit page of that article. AsI don't 
haveSMTP access, I can't specify the mailhost which means I can't approve 
the article. 

Lastly, once I 
have the articles in there, how do I make them "belong" to a particular 
section?

Thanks in 
advance for your help.

You've hit upon an "unimplemented" feature. I didn't need to be able to
create articles via the management interface, so I never added that
capability. Patches accepted :)

The "index.html" method is currently located in the Product itself, and that
controls the byline and date/time stamp display. This should probably be
moved into the KMArticleStore so that people can change it.

There is a category field on the article editing page. You set up your
categories in the KMArticleStore. When you go to the edit method of the
article, you can just select the category from the pull down menu.
