that's exactly it.
use CATIDTIP to enter the category of id to put in the tips section.

I notice you translated the language file. Do you want to send it back so others can benefit?

The translate to Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal, etc) is :
I put in lang-brazilian.php - work in lang-portuguese.php too

hey

i was trying to edit "Today's Tip" on my site (it doesn't have anything in it right now) but no matter what i put in it, it always comes up empty

what can i do?

I had same problem until I realized that I did not have any articles with the category id assigned to "Tips." Just go thru some of your articles and identify some that might be considered tips, edit them so they have that category id assigned and they should show up.

thanks dean for stepping up and answering.

you can treat tips as alternate content. on jewcentral.com it's tips on metopen.com it's user submissions.

Thanks dean, I tried what you said, still nothing... must be missing information or the concept about the whole thing. Actually I have tried several things.

I think some of us may need step by step instructions since concepts are not working. So after 12 hours nonstop of trying to figure it out, I finally did it.

1 In Admin New Story, go to Catagory and just as an example type in TIPS, then click add.

2. Create an article the article can be something for sale with link such as software, a theme, book, dvd... or anything else you want to say. Make it like you would make any other text article. (see: http://bookwired.com ) for an example of a book.

3. In Catagory click: TIPS

4. Save

5. If it shows up in your tips, you are done. If it does not, go to the next instruction.

6. Go to you database (phpMyAdmin in most cases), find your nuke_stories_cat, browse and find TIPS look at the CID number. This is the number they want.

7. open up Met homes eng_language (or any other language files you will be using with it). Find define("_CATIDTIP","1") change that 1 to the number you got from CID in nuke_stories_cat. Save the language file(s), and upload it (them).

8. Your tips will now work. Remember that in this example TIPS is the Catagory you want to assign future tips too. You can name this anything you want, but the associated number in nuke_stories_cat is the number for the language files.

9. If this does not work. Start again at 1.

Thanks tag.

A slightly easier way to get the category id is if you go to an area of the site that displays a category title (for example topics) you'll see the link is catid=x
the x is what your category id is...
