Manage "View Websiite" URL

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

CMS Builder doens't keep track of the URL each section is being used on.

What I think you'll need to do is create a switch block to change that URL on a section by section basis.

You'll notice that when you click into a section, the section's table name is in the URL. That's what you'll want to do your switch on:

switch (get table name from url) {

case "section 1": url = someting.php; break;

}

This code doesn't work exactly like that but it should give you an idea. We don't really recommend making changes like this to the interface templates as there is a lot of different things going on in there. Also, the next time you upgrade, all these changes will be lost.

Let me know what you think :).

Thanks! Works like a charm! A bit awkward but it does the job.

I'm aware that I need to save the mods and insert them into the next update. Inconvenient but not a big problem compared to the benefits I can get from it.

It would be nice if CMSB had a hierarchical assignment of the view website url. If there was a field for a viewing url and a field for viewing choices in the user account setup, then there could be a choice of using the default url from settings, using a url specified for the user, or using the url from the section viewer url (which CMSB could presumably get easily from the schema files).

Hi there.

Glad that worked. I do like the idea of being able to change that view website link on a per section basis. I am adding that to the list and we'll see what the options end up being.

Thanks!
