Highlighter shows pending items!

**GK User** Wed Jan 21, 2009 11:22 am

Hi!
I was very happy with this module, until few days ago when I noticed that if I create an article and set it to be published within a couple of hours or so, regardless of that the article headline appears in the Hihglighter and produces a bad link.

I'm not a php expert but I guess that there should be a query which will check whether the item is published or not... but I don't know how to implement this idea.

Please help.

I will analyze this query - if it has a bug then I will try to remove it in next version of this module

I'm quite sure that there is a bug. The module should not show non-published items and should work the same as the core latest news module in Joomla. Too bad that I cannot do this myself because I need this fixed ASAP. I know a few good coders, only I have to talk someone into trying to fix somebody elses module...

Do you have similar problems with news show gk3 ? Because both modules base on similar query and this query contains conditions for article publish time.

Exactly the same thing happens with news show too! (Sorry it took me so long to reply I was overloaded by clients... one of them was of course complaining about the hightlighter and I did not have time to find someo to fix the code for me... I hope you'll do it soon)

Hi there! Any news regarding the pending items bug? At least give us a hint how to fix this... please.

I'm having a similar problem with items still showing after expiration date.
Today I installed the latest version of this module, released on March 1st. The problem is not yet solved.

Edit
Found something in file joomla.news.class.php:

Code: Select all: Line 160: $now = gmdate('Y-m-dÂ H:i:s', gmmktime()); Line 165: $now = gmdate('Y-m-dÂ H:i:s', $time); Line 384: $now = gmdate('Y-m-dÂ H:i:s', gmmktime()); Line 389: $now = gmdate('Y-m-dÂ H:i:s', $time);

I changed the "Y-m-dÂ" to "Y-m-d" and now my expired items no longer show.

Hi,
I'm having the same bug, with news show GK3.

The module (in my frontpage) show articles "Published, but is pending" and give a 404 error, it's a real problem for my portal news :ohmy:

Redman, I'm looking for your file "joomla.news.class.php" but I dont find it, is there a similar file for news show mod ?
