Easy News how to add title and date to main article

Permalink 1 user found helpful May 17, 2011 at 3:39 AM

Hi I have managed to add the date to the main news via easy_news\blocks\easynews_list\view.php page using this:

<a href="<?php echo $nh->getLinkToCollection($cobj)?>"><?php echo $title?> - <?php echo strftime("%d . %m . %Y", strtotime($cobj->getCollectionDatePublic())); ?></a>

Now I would like to add to the main article once clicked.

Any ideas how to do this, it would be nice to add a back button which I have done successfully in other page using this method:

<a href="<?=$parent_url?>">Back</a>

Thanking yuo in advance!

Mauricio

Thank you!
You greatly helped my case with your inquiry :)
It solved a great puzzle, I was trying to merge 2 functions to print out the published dates in english/french pages.

Good to hear, I still want to add a back button have you worked this out?

Try something like:

<?php
$cParent = Page::getByID($c->getCollectionParentID());
$nh = Loader::helper('navigation');
?>
<a href="<?=$nh->getLinkToCollection($cParent)?>">Back</a>

   // we'll include this block type's class, and pass the block to it, and get
   // the content
   if (count($cArray) > 0) { ?>
   <div class="ccm-page-list">
   <?php  
   for ($i = 0; $i < count($cArray); $i++ ) {
      $cobj = $cArray[$i]; 
      $title = $cobj->getCollectionName(); ?>
   <h2 class="ccm-page-list-title"><a href="<?php  echo $nh->getLinkToCollection($cobj)?>"><?php  echo $title?> - <?php echo strftime("%d . %m . %Y", strtotime($cobj->getCollectionDatePublic())); ?></a></h2>
