I was just checking drupaldemo.org and from the admin page it seems that drupal 5 will have the news_page modules functionality inbuilt into it. Can someone please confirm this

huh?
What does news_page functionality look like? I see no such module in the current downloads section. Other then the appearance of Google ad words it looks like a stock Drupal install.

I guess you are right
I guess you are right Sepeck.
That can mean big problem - I am using Drupal 4.7.3 and news_page module cvs version (it does not have a stable 4.7 version and dont think will ever have) and am getting loads of SQL errors on it. Even though I have created several issues for it, nothing has been done.
Maybe in my desperate hope, i started seeing things.

Found and read the module description in the cvs section. Perhaps a combination of Views module and taxonomy would serve your needs. Not having a need for this myself can't say it will work for sure.

sepeck, if you dont mind can
sepeck,
if you dont mind can you elaborate on how views module can implement the functionality of news_page module. can it aggregate content from various sources and filter and display it in a block?

newspage issues
Hi, I've been wondering about newspage. I've tried to get aggregated feeds, filtered through news page...which is great, but then to try and get them into a block just doesn't seem to work. I've added nodeasblock module...but as that only puts the header and the body, it doesn't take the fed content.
I have tried feeding the page feed into aggregator(because aggregator lets you create a block)...as in feeding my own feed...but that doesn't work either, the feed put out by the newspage doesn't seem to work.
Basically a bit stuck...I hope someone can help me get a block with filtered feeds in it...any ideas?
Hi Mate, I use the news_page
Hi Mate,
I use the news_page module and the content from it is then used in a block.
the way i do it is as follows
1) go to aggregator in admin and add 2 categories - 1st for aggregating news from different websites which will then be used by news_page to filter content and the other to categorise the filtered news which you need to display in a block
2) add feeds from the sources and categorise them with the 1st category
3) create news page and select the first category from the aggregator drop down and specify the words you want to filter the words by
4) once tha page is created copy its feed url and go to admin/aggregator and click add feed
5) give it the title say xyz and paste the feed url and this time specify the second category under categorise news items
6) go to admin/blocks and enable the block with this "xyz feed latest items"
and you are done
simple
The URL feed
Hi there,
thanks for getting back. I have tried doing what you suggested, however the problem seems to be the feed url, which isn't recognised. I get it by clicking on the XML button at the bottom of the newspage...is that the right place?
I get this error message when I try and update the feed:
The RSS-feed from thepipspage seems to be broken, because of error "403 ".
Did you set access control
Did you set access control for viewing news page module correctly..i believe you need to set - allow access to news page and news page feed for atleast 1 user otherwise you might get this error
thank you mate
Thanks, that worked fine...so simple a reason...sorry
