No date for comments, it's turned out to be a lot more challenging and we need to build up the other parts of the program first. What I would like to do is add it to the Code Generator.

We do have subcategories for the next release though. And comments is still on the list.

Hi Dave,

I would like to give the possibility to the visitors of adding comments.

Will this option be available in the next update?

Is a date envisaged ?

Thank you for your answer. [:)]

Hi Dave,

Yes, a pull-down option is one way to go in the short term. I've done that where the situation is predictable enough to allow it. However, there are many other times where you just don't know what will be needed.

I can well understand that an image manager would be a complex thing to code. I'm sure the clever folks at Interactive Tools will do it well when when they tackle it.

Cheers,
J.

Jayme,

How are the images included in the files? Would it be possible to have a pulldown of logos they could select from to avoid having to upload multiple files?

A shared media manager is in the plans but a lot of work and is still a ways off.

The biggest issue for my main client is really the lack of an image manager. They wind up loading dozens of the same images (logos mostly) over and over again.

I wrote a simple page to show them all the images in the system and their URLs for copy-n-paste use, but that's stretching things a bit for them.

First, thanks for the .pdf tip. I had no problem adding my favored extensions to the $defaultValue['allowedExtensions'] statement.

The linking dialogue box I was referring to is apparently part of the AM2 WYSIWYG field. The link icon pulls up a neat little Hypertext promp box that makes setting your a hrefs a little simpler for the novice. I turn my sites over to clients who are not as familiar with HTML tags and this box was such a nice help for them.

Hi Jan,

I've added .pdf to the default for the next version. This is used when creating new fields. Is that what you meant or did you mean for the preset menus as well?

If you're comfortable editing the PHP code you can change the default now for your current version like this:

- open /lib/menus/database/editField_functions.php
- make a backup copy
- search for $defaultValue['allowedExtensions']
- replace that line with this (or whatever you want):
$defaultValue['allowedExtensions'] = 'gif,jpg,png,wmv,mov,swf,pdf';

For the wysiwyg, we actually use a different component in CMS Builder. I had a look back at AM2, do you mean how it shows you a list of anchors on the page. Like from tags? Or something else?

Thanks for your suggestions! :)
