NSP not working with the Game Magazine template

Hi!

I have tried to get the News Show Pro GK5 working for my website with the Game Magazine template working for a while now. When I activate it an error message appears on the home page of my site.

Are there any common mistakes that people do with this module that I could look into to make it work?

I would really appreciate any help I could get!

Thank you,

Sofia

It would help if you can post the error message : )

Common problems are with settings in data source. Such as user selects a category but this category does not have any items in it.

So make sure what ever data source you have selected contains an item at least so in sql query something returns back.

This is valid for all selected categories in data source.

Also there was a time issue, when user does not set their time and zone or location of server so end result was when module is creating a sql query to get articles or items resulting query date time was as following 05/09/2013 00:00 ( so time was zero ). So if you had articles created after this time obviously it wasn't included in modules sql query.

So you can either wait for the next day if module is displaying items then it is the time issue and change time off setting in module. Otherwise make sure your selected data source contains items.

Also module uses GD library and php curl to process images, thumbnails. If these modules are not enabled in your server then enabling module could cause errors.

See module settings > configuration check to see if your server supports these.

See you around...

Thank you so much! It was the time thing that caused the issue and now it is working.

However, the arrows in the pagination are looking a little bit strange. I don't know why...

I also have another question. I would like for the news display that I have added to have the same style as the module "Pre-release Games" in the Game Magazine Template. I found a suffix that was supposed to be added (" nsp"), but this does not work. Do you have any idea why?

Thank you so much again for all the help!

Please post or send me your website link so I can check.

This is a link to my website.

As you can see the arrows in the pagination for "Popular Articles" look somewhat broken.
I used News Pro GK5 for all modules in the main content area except for "Pre-Release Games" where I used News Pro GK4. I did this to try and mimic the quick start version of the template (http://stellarentertainmentinc.com/test). The articles do not show up on the website in this module for my website. Do you have any idea why?

Thank you!
