Hello All, I have a what I hope is a simple question.
The client is wanting to know if when they are looking at the CMS and see a list of news article. If along with the title they can see if the article is hidden or not instead of going into the modify and looking there.

Also before I forget has anyone else seen  showing up when they use the wysiwyg editor. I think, I just need to change the character set. Would that be a per page thing or something in the cms system files.

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

Under "Section Editors" just add the field hidden to "ListPage Fields". So it might look like this:

title, date, hidden

It will show 0 or 1.


As for the strange characters - which version are you running? Some servers send a charset that overrides the meta tag in the html. You can use a site like this to check: http://www.serverheader.com/ If there is a "charset" after "Content-type" then it's sending a header.

I added a line to /lib/init.php in v1.10 to override that. If you're not running v1.10 you could try adding it yourself to /lib/init.php. It's as follows:

ini_set('default_charset', 'utf-8');

Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes.

Thanks Dave, I am running ver 1.09



I opened the init.php file and boy does this look confusing. where in this file do I add

ini_set('default_charset', 'utf-8');


Thanks for all your kind help

Make a backup copy of /lib/init.php and then add it right after the first line. Like this:

<?php

ini_set('default_charset', 'utf-8');

And if that doesn't fix it I can always take a look and help you figure it out.

I changed it and nothing bad happened but it did not fix the problem. I went and changed the php header from
<?php echo "<?xml version='1.0'?>\n"; ?>

to this
<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
and that fixed the problem, now did I mess anything in CMS by doing that?

No, that should be fine. I might add that to the next version if it solves that problem. Where did you add it? To /lib/menus/header.php?

No problem, ok thanks for the info. Yea, I might add that to the code generator for a future version.
