Hi claudio,


I am having a similar issue I go into the Admin area and then into E-Learning once in I click on contents and news I posted a few news updates but none appear on the home page ( login page) is there something I might be missing


thanks


Oh and this is on docebo 4.04

I'm not sure about 4.0 but in 3.6 the news that shows up on the login page is under e-learning->external content->News.  I've got several news articles posted that way in my system and they work fine.  If you want the same news article to appear on the users page after login too you have to add it under e-learining-> User area in LMS-> Manage News in Users area.  YOu also need to make sure you have the news module displayed on the users page for it to display.

Hi aedwards,

Thanks for advice actually I too was running on 3.6 with absolutely no news issues. In the 4.04 the news in user area is perfect works fine it’s just the news found in the login page. We liked it very much because it allows users to know of latest news right away and show the activity of the system.

 

Dear Claudio I also tried the news in your online demo version with the same result as the news does not show in the login page it could be there is some bug or im doing something drastically wron. 

Thanks for all the help really hope there is some way to fix this is it’s a great feature being able to post news updates on the login pag. 

Regards

 

Hi just wanted to suggest this be put as a bug as it was a great feature in the old system would be fantastic to have it working in the new one  

thanks

I am having the same issues using 4.0.4.  It is in the manual for 4.0 and would love to see this feature kept.

To enable news on a home page go to /var/www/docebo/templates/standard/layout/home_login.php file and substitute this fragment:


by this one:

</div> 

Another way, in version 4.0.4 (the one i know :) ) is:

Go to templates>standard>layout and rename the file home_login_news.php to home_login.php (don't forget to rename the actual home_login.php to something like home_login_OLD.php)

Give it a look to your site and voilá.. It appears with the news section on the right (of the page) of the webcontent in the login page.

Carfull because, after that you will have an detail for each new (just click on). To add the translation key for this page just add a new key in administration languages (module standard, name: _NEWS).

In this page you will have 2 BACK links, the one of the TOP will lead you to the HOME PAGE again, the one on the BOTTOM will lead you to a NEWS list. Here, also, you have to create a new key on Administration Languages, the key should be created in login module with the name: _NEWS. This will allow you to translate both headers of the 2 pages of news.

Just do some changes in the CSS files (base.css and lms_home.css) to have a coll look. Yet.. carfull here because the CSS classes used here (on the page code) don't exist on the CSS files... they must be created manually.. and it will work just fine (not for the date field that is inside a block.. but it will have good look)

Hope this help.
