Developer in Australia

Thanks guys,

moh3 I can do that part myself, it's the design part I suck at, however I think I have found someone local who can do a design for me. It doesn't come cheap, though :(

Developer in Australia

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:41:39 -0800

Hello,

My company website uses CMS Builder and has done for a few years, but the site itself is looking a bit dated. I've been trying to find a developer in Australia that knows of and is willing to use CMS Builder but every one i've contacted either tries to push me to Wordpress/Joomla or something exotic. I'm just after a design I can use as a front end for CMS Builder, not a complete site!

Anyone know anyone in Australia who understands CMS Builder and won't try to sell me the Sydney Harbour Bridge?

Thanks Dave, they have fixed the issue. It's all good.

My motto from now on: Back up everything!

Any idea?

Dave, I do have another problem: When re-uploading photos that got deleted with the rest of the site (through the Admin section) I get this error:
Temp Upload dir '/var/virtual/webupload/' does't exist! Ask server admin to check 'upload_tmp_dir' setting in php.ini.

What have I missed?

Thanks Dave,
Yes, I understand the process. I have already restored one section of our site, thank you! The rest is going to be a hard slog but I know what to do and most of the rest will be pretty easy because most of the other schemas will almost identical.

No I don't unfortunately, Dave. What now?

I've done that. Donna. Hope to have a suggestion soon :)

Problem after reinstall.

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:29:18 -0800

My installation of CMS Builder has been working great - until the server we were hosted on got hacked. The server was wiped clean of all files, but fortunately the database was left untouched. I reinstalled my site - and CMS Builder - but my installation shows nothing, although it connects to the database and I can see all the tables in the database through PHPMyAdmin and if I try recreating one of my editors using the name of an existing one I get the "Name already in use" message.

What should I do to connect to the dtatbase?

I understand what you mean, and I read Dave's post and I get that too. Thanks so much, awesome advice!

Thanks for the reply, guys!

Is it possible to have, say, a list of products, each item in the list being a link to a detail page for that product? And the detail pages having Previous/Next links?

My apologies if this is obvious, I really should just bite the bullet and buy, but it's not my money to spend and I need to make sure it does what we want :)

Latest product

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:32:15 -0700

Was planning on purchasing a few months ago, got sidetracked on something else, and i'm now revisiting CMS Builder. I have another question:

We have a list of product images, which would be displayed 1 to a page with previous/next links. From reading other posts & looking at the sites of others, I can see that this part is easy. But I would like to know if it's possible to link to the most recent record in the hard coded link?
From what I can see, the records keep going up by 1 for every new page, so you get www.mypage.com/products/page=1, followed by page=2, etc. So how can you have a link that always goes to the most recent record?

You're going to need to learn about Cascading Style Sheets if you want to do that successfully: a CSS file is where you set the format of whatever elements of the page you choose. See http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

Re: [jdancisin] Another question: Item display only if data present?

Wow, thank you! Not only answered, but a solution!

Another question: Item display only if data present?

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 16:23:36 -0700

I have another question:

Because we have so many different kinds of product, there would be some items we sell that would have different kinds of specification to others. Is there any way of making the output show only fields that have data inputted for them?

For example: Say we have Product A. & Product B.
Product A is electrically powered, while product B is air-powered. For both Product A and Product B, we would need fields for weight and dimensions, and for a description, but only product A would require a field for voltage and only B would require a field for air pressure. But we would not want a Voltage field to display for an air-powered product, and vice versa.
So, if entering data for Product A, the Air Pressure field is left blank (not filled out in the input form) and when the product page is viewed, the Air Pressure field is not even shown.

I hope this is clear :)

Oh, like the "More Information" link on that site? Yes, that's what I wanted. Fantastic!
Thanks Kenny!

PS Nice site. Homes are very cheap there! I think i'm moving to Texas :)

Dave,
A (hopefully) quick question:

How do you link an entry in a list of product brands, say, to the page that displays the information on the brand? Is that something you can do with CMSB or would it have to be hardcoded?

Re: [Dave] Pre-purchase question

Thank you Dave, now I have to convince the bean counters to let me pay for it. Hopefully that part won't be too hard either!

Pre-purchase question

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:43:06 -0700

Hi,
I've been looking at the information available here on CMS Builder and it looks very interesting. However, I have a question I need answered before I go any further towards purchasing:

I would be purchasing for our company website. At present, all of our site is static and doesn't change much, so I (as maintainer/updater/builder) can change things fairly easily - except for the Products section. We have a large number of products from a large number of suppliers.

Currently the products section is set up as follows:

Products (main page) has a list of suppliers. Each supplier on the list is a link to another page which in most cases is an overview of the supplier, with a menu at left which lists categories of products from that supplier. Each item on this menu is a link to a page with one or more products listed, each product will have a photo and specifications and in some cases a link to a data sheet in PDF. The information required for each product can vary in the amount and type of information required.

My question is, would it be difficult to set up a system using CMS Builder so that a non-technical person could enter Suppliers, Categories, Products and Information, and edit/ maintain this easily in the case of product changes etc? I understand in basic terms how it works, but i'm a bit sketchy on the details :)
