Hi,

I've just downloaded and installed the latest versions of metaPost and Ventrian NewsArticles. I can publish an article, which goes fine the first time. However, if I want to update the article, I click publish then I get a popup box which says:-

Server Error 0 Occured

There was an error editing this article entry

Any ideas? Is metaPost unsupported on this version of NewsArticles?

Hi Roger,

I'm working on a fix for this right now.  As soon as I saw your post, I downloaded 6.09 to see what had changed.  It turns out that Scott has changed the way he handles the summary.  I'll need to change my code accordingly.  I hope to have a fix ready within a couple of hours.

Thanks for keeping me posted regarding this error!

Hi Don,

Thanks for the rapid response. That solved the problem. I noticed the download was about twice the size, was that intended?

Also, I get an error setting up the styles. It seems to download them OK, but still says I have to delete the temporary post by hand. Not a major issue!

Cheers
Roger
