2 prepurchase questions

Hi retray,

1) The browse button is for linking to uploaded files or images. Generally you'd just enter an url you wanted to link to manually by cutting and pasting or just typing it in.

2) By template, do you mean where they select a design through the wysiwyg for the page? We don't support that... There are a few other way you can let the client choose the design of their page (such as having a pulldown for "design" that selected the CSS or templates to use for header/footer, etc. Other than that, if you had an example of the kind of pages you want them to be able to create I could give you a better idea of how it might be possible.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Dave

1)Is there likely to be a feature to enable users to browse for an internal url in a future update?

2)I'll send you something tomorrow regarding the template (it's getting late here UK time!)

Thanks

>1)Is there likely to be a feature to enable users to browse for an internal url in a future update?

Probably not. It would be possible with some custom code (the wysiwyg editor, tinymce, has 'hooks' for it) but I don't know how we could do it in a way that would make sense.

The reason is because of how CMS Builder works we don't know the layout of the website or where the viewers are or any of that, so we don't have a logical list of urls that we could let the user browse.

There's a few other ways to do related products/articles, etc. So if you're trying to do something like that let me know what it is and I'll try and think of another method.

Have you found users prefer browsing for an url instead of copying and pasting an url from their browser? Or did you want to use that functionality to implement something else?

Hi Dave,

Regarding the template idea, my test site is at www.avidtesting.co.uk/buckle and I'd like my client to be able to create new pages based on the attached screenshot. If this is possible in any way I'd greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance

Derek

Derek,

Yes, you could. You'd just paste the viewer code inside that template and it would display the content inside the template.

The best way is to experiment and give it a try (have you downloaded the 10 day trial?). If there's anything you're not sure about or don't know how to do just let me know and I'll help you out.

Sounds good. And remember, even after you purchase we have a 90 day refund period. So you can try it out risk free. I always like to say (and offer) that because I've been left holding the bag a few times myself on software purchases that didn't work out.

On to your question. Usually you just have 2 pages. A "list page" that lists the records, and a "detail page" that shows details about a certain record. When you link to the detail page it will pass the number on the end, like this: showPage.php?1 So there will be a unique url for each record, but you only need to create 2 files.

Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Dave, I finally understand and I'm off to make my purchase[:)]
