I saw a post here before about how to make a specific weblog display future dates with the multi entries tag by adding the following code to the weblog.fns.php file (just before the line that reads //Main Query.  I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to implement this for the headlines tag?

// SHOW Test

if ($weblog == “test")
{
$sql = “select * from $db_weblog
where weblog = ‘$weblog’
and status = ‘open’
and preview != ‘1’
order by t_stamp desc”;

}

// End SHOW Test

Hey raj, I am looking for the same thing. I know something like this in Michael.be’s Function Customizer, but I can’t get FC to install properly, and just need a hack to get an events calendar going for now.

When I install FC I get that problem of it not working at all unless I put it in a subdirectory.

do you mean, putting the files you would normally put in the root dir into a subdirectory?  This future date thing is the one thing holding me back from finishing a site.  I guess things have kind of died down around here since expression engine was released.

Yes it’s the same with me - one fix to weblog_headlines and I can do what my heart desires (which is to launch this site I’m working on.)

As far as weblog_headlines goes, my planned work-around now is not to use them. Right now, I can’t see an obstacle with just putting ordinary weblog entries in a list but displaying only the date/title… That’s my experiment after work today. Maybe I’m just not remembering if this is an enormous hassle.

You’ve got it right - I’ve put the files that go into a root directory into a subdirectory. I can’t be sure, but I think Michel.Be designed Function Customizer to work with the traditional structure of the default pMachine setup; ie. with weblog.php, more.php, trackback.php, etc. all in one directory.

Things *seem* to be working OK, this way, but I can’t be sure. I guess nothing is really holding one back from putting everything in the root directory when one has a pMachine site. I guess I like people being able to access parts through folders and not having to remember extensions, eg. http://www.sitename.org/subscribe/ .

I asked Michel about this and got “next version, next version” answers—I *really* hate to press him for requests as he really seemed to really bust his chops making FC in Dec./Jan., I wouldn’t blame him if he’s burnt out on working on it. People also seemed to get very demanding of his software (and him!). He says he’s planning a new release, though, and this one will work with any directory structure.

Try this:

1. Open pm/lib/weblog.fns.php for editing.

2. Look around line 2099 and you’ll see this code:

3. Try changing that to this:

thankyou so much, this was exactly what I needed.

YESSSSS!!!

That did it for me too.

I thought I’d eliminated all the “and t_stamp < ‘$newtime’” constructions, but I think I missed one. Thank you again Chris Curtis!

well, it works well but unfortunately my next previous links are broken, the weblog_entries and weblog_entries_limit tags show all entries for the weblog that I have future dates in (the other weblogs I have work fine with next/previous links).

Is there a way to limit this to only certain weblogs with an if statement?
