Hi!

There is a block called Latest News, which shows 5 entries, on the left side of the front page, I wanted to increase the entries to 10, but when I save the changes, all the latest entries disappear, I just shows, whithout quotes the: "<".

See the picture.

I went to the views section, but I am unable to figure out where that LESS SIGN comes from.

I downloaded the version 1.2 from managingnews.com, release date is Oct. 29, 2010

SOLVED:

If yo run into this issue, make sure that every time you edit this block, you select Listing as the Type, then save it.

Running into this myself.

[Modified issue title to match actual problem.]

Please confirm that you are using the latest version and not 1.1-beta2. Is this still a problem in Managing News 1.2?

Yes, using 1.2 off the MN site.

The issue tracker doesn't offer anything above beta2. I'd meant to poke about that.
Would you prefer just leaving the version field blank until that's taken care of? (I've got a couple other tickets I should revise if so.)

Great. There was an issue with the release node that prevented version 1.2 from appearing. That's been fixed now.

So this is an issue that needs to be addressed before the next release. Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue as this one. The "Type" option of the dashboard boxes doesnt save so the boxes all just show up empty.

I'm running MN downloaded from their site and I upgraded all the modules to their latest versions but haven't yet upgraded the drupal core to 6.22 (it's at 6.19 - broke the site when i tried to do that upgrade)

Any help to fix this issue would be appreciated.
