1. The American/NewYork time setting doesn’t seem to work with articles. If I use the local setting, articles are all marked pending a much later date. If I switch to GMT, the articles are published.
2. Articles created totally within Joomla 1.6 (that is, are not imported nor copied-and-pasted from Joomla 1.5) display correctly.

Aren’t you in New York too? Of course, NYTimes farm their site, not sure where. I am not familiar with the issue.

As to the second, definitely that happens. Some sites actually make it a point to do something so that you cannot copy and past from their content. If you find the transcripts of You Tube videos. it cannot be copied and pasted easily.

Unless you are well versed with HTMLs, it is not good to copy and paste directly from another site. Some sites use too many divs and breaks, instead of the usual paragraphs markup. Unclosed divs can literally destroy your page layout.

I may have stumbled on why my articles were not displaying. I was editing one of the default menu items, changing its name and category to “news,” the same parent category of the stories that previously wouldn’t display. After the change, the articles in that category (like the wikipedia entry) began displaying correctly.

To test this, I created an article assigned to a category without an associated menu item – that article wouldn’t display. The question becomes why I need a matching menu item for the articles to display? In Joomla 1.5, I could feature articles that did not have a menu item.

I add/edit articles through the backend. In Joomla 1.5, this was only an issue with the Teline IV template in Firefox 3.x – the page dispayed fine in Safari and Chrome. With Joomla 1.6, articles wouldn’t display no matter what web browser.

I was using copy-and-paste (from my 1.5 site) because there is no way (yet) to import content from a Joomla 1.5 site into a Joomla 1.6 site.

ithacaindy,

I meant “cut” and “paste” directly. The key word is directly. To avoid pasting hidden HTML markups, there is a need for transitory step. The copied material must be pasted into a “editor” software, e.g., PageSpinner, to strip hidden HTML markups.

I wonder who tagged this thread “Solved”. The root cause of this problem is the Teline II in a Joomla 1.5 ecosystem creating a Section or Category triggers automated inclusion in the Magazine menu.

Both Joomla 1.5 and 1.6 of the Teline IV do not have this automated feature.

There are other missing features of the Magazine menu.
