This only happens if your news endpoint is not returning valid data.

What does your /data/news endpoint return?

[walkerairtrans]

It returns the news. I didn't realize my SS cut it off.

Did you guys implement any date cut off or anything? Before this version that new entry showed every time.

It seems like the title and postedBy are empty, along with the date being all 0's. Can you provide example data on these fields and let me know if this changes the panel state at all?

None of that existed the entire alpha/beta cycle--so whatever update you all did last night you must of enforced those fields.

Once I faked the fields the news block reappeared.

Also, FYI;

postedAt, postedBy, title

is not a valid column in phpVMS 5.

Anyone with phpVMS 5 and using this will need to create/rename columns in the DB for this.

Default install behavior for phpVMS 5.

CREATE TABLE phpvms_news ( id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, subject varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', body text NOT NULL, postdate datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '1970-01-01 01:01:01', postedby varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (id)
