Blog Menu module for News with Images

I am trying to add a blog page to my website. I am using the News with images module and I want to add the Blog Menu.

The news items are in a left column and the menu should be in a right column. I have added a Code2 section to the page and entered the code as in the ReadMe file. The news item is fine but the right column shows nothing and there is also the rest of the page missing. Looking at the page code it ends after the opening of the right column, there is no further code and the footer is completely missing.

What am I doing wrong please.

Looking at the page code it ends after the opening of the right column

So most likely there is an exception at this point, which the errorlog viewer should show you more information about ...
And double check the syntax of the code in the Code2 Section.

Thanks, I've checked this and there was a syntax error. I corrected this and the whole page now displays but the menu is only showing 'EN'  ? The error log lists three warnings:

1. /modules/news_img_blog_menu/include.php: L:40
from /modules/code2/view.php L:52                              "Undefined variable $section_id"
2. /modules/news_img_blog_menu/include.php: L:57
from /modules/code2/view.php L:52                              "Undefined variable $output"
3.  /modules/news_img_blog_menu/include.php: L:74
from /modules/code2/view.php L:52                              "Undefined variable $section_id"

The Code2 entry is:
display_blog_menu(37,0,'<h3>Categories</h3>','<h3>History</h3>',0);

Can you help decipher these? Appreciated.

Re: Blog Menu module for News with Images

You have to enter the id of the page on which the NWI section is found, not the section_id of the NWI section.
E.g. if your NWI section has the id 37 and is for example on the page 23, you need to call
display_blog_menu(23,0,'<h3>Categories</h3>','<h3>History</h3>',0);
not
display_blog_menu(37,0,'<h3>Categories</h3>','<h3>History</h3>',0);

To get rid of the "EN", change /modules/news_img_blog_menu/include.php, line 98

$output = LANGUAGE."<ul>".$output."</ul>";

to

$output = "<ul>".$output."</ul>";

And to fix the $output error, move

$output = "";

from line 48 after line 35

$page_id = (int) $page_id;

and remove the 2nd $output =""; from line 72.

@florian
I have changed the section ID to the page ID
Removed the LANGUAGE
Moved the $output = ""; from line 48 to after line 35 (now line 36)
There is only one $output = ""; in line 72 so I have left it

Hope this is correct. I have attached the file below. The page now displays a blog menu showing 'History' but not 'Categories'. I assume categories is the same as groups, of which there are three but only one entry.

Page is https://rhyniecharitabletrust.co.uk/pages/blog.php

Thanks for your help.

regards, Mike

Not sure if your issues are solved?

Regarding attachment problems: It's not possible to attach php files to firum posts "as is", you need to save them as .txt or zip them. Or - if the file does not contain hundereds of lines - just post them as "code".

Not  sure if it's completely solved. It doesn't show the Categories listing. Or is this because I've put the wrong parameter in the call. I thought '0' would show both Categories and History?

I see. Try with the include.php attached to this post, should work then.
