This should work for me - I'll give it a go and let you know if I have any probs.

Thanks again,

I'm getting to grips with this software now and it's potential (at least I think!)

What I would now like to do is:

- to have a section where visitors can post - securely - text only questions (by logging on with restrictions as to the nature of the post allowed in order to have NO risk to the database)

- where I can answer these questions or issues (either on the same page ideally or separate page) Ideally the answer would be WYSIWYG...

I can't think of a way of doing this...but it's Easter and I'm slowing down from slow!

Any guidance to get me started - really appreciated!

Cheers,

Nigel

I purchased CMSB in order to provide an easy to use, reliable content management system to my clients.

I have a knowledge of PHP but must admit I was a little daunted and confused when first trying to get my head around how the system worked.

I have been testing - and marketing - the software by initially building - now three/four - sections of my site with CMSB:

http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Content_Management_System_FAQs.php

http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Web_Presence_in_Recession.php

http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Articles.php

as well as, effectively, banner rotation on my home page and a specific search section on the Content Management System part of my site.

What's also great is that the system enables the appropriate setting of Title and Description tags - really important for search engines.

As a result, I am a lot more confident in both using the system and in offering the product. The fact that CMSB sections can be seamlessly integrated within overall site design - that is protected - is particularly good.

I have also generated RSS feeds at http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/rss.xml.php and at http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Articlesrss.xml.php

Hopefully, I have finally found a CMS that works and sells!!

P.S. I would only say that the Interactive Tools Documenentation is enough to perhaps deter many buyers - you do need some pretty reasonable skills in HTML but also specifically PHP to get the most out of the software. Unlike Interactivetools to make anything anything but easy and transparently obvious!!!

Cheers,

Nigel

Thanks again for your assistance - I have used Interactive tools for years and it's a combination of the quality of the products and of the support provided which continues to impress me.

I have added 'Autodiscovery' code to http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Content_Management_System_FAQs.php so that browsers identify the RSS feed on the page.

This has not affected Internet Explorer but in Firefox there has been a difference - it now automatically triggers the opportunity to bookmark the main Itsnoprob link but doesn't display the RSS feed....

I take your point, Ross, about removing <p> tags from the title - which is, you're right, a $question variable from CMSB set up using WYSIWYG. I'll try amending as you suggest and let you know the result!

Thanks,

Nigel

Thanks very much for your reply.

At this end, as I say, I just get summary of content without links... (I have attached a small screenshot of the Firefox output)

I have managed to get a functioning - in Internet Explorer - RSS feed up and running at http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/rss.xml.php but it does not function at all properly in FireFox. All that is displayed is the $summary field from my following code:


<?php // Load record list
require_once "/home/itsnoprobuk/public_html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";
$options = array();
$options['tableName'] = 'faq';
$options['orderBy'] = 'updatedDate';
$options['viewerUrl'] = 'http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/faqPage.php';
$options['pageNum'] = '1'; list($listRows, $listDetails) = getListRows($options);
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n";

?>

<rss version="2.0"> <channel>
<title>Itsnoprob Web Services - Web Site Content Management</title>
<link>http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Content_Management_System.php</link>
<pubDate><?php echo date('r'); ?></pubDate>
<language>en-us</language>
<?php foreach ($listRows as $record): ?> <item>

<title><?php echo ($record['question']) ?></title>
<description><![CDATA[<?php echo htmlspecialchars($record['summary']); ?>]]></description>
<pubDate><?php echo ($record['updatedDate']) ?></pubDate>

<link><?php echo $record['_link'] ?></link>
<guid isPermaLink="true"><?php echo $record['_link'] ?></guid> </item>
<?php endforeach ?>
</channel> </rss>


I would be grateful for any ideas as to amends I need to make it function in Firefox....????

Many thanks,

Nigel

I have been trying to fix today and got even more screwed up - the system should now be up and running again

The online documentation is pretty clear about setting up a simple 'keyword' search box.

Perhaps the easiest way to 'sort me out' would be if someone would be good enough to supply example code for a results page that works rather than trying to sort out the mess I've got myself into????

Many thanks,

Nigel

Initial change made as requested to http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Content_Management_System_FAQs.php, although this is a multi-page section and answers are on http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/faqPage.php

No apparent difference in terms of end result???

Thanks for any help you can give.

Thanks for the reply...

I note your point about [font "Verdana"]charset=utf-8 (but I don't know why?)

[font "Verdana"]I hope the code info below gives you what you need to point me in the right direction.....

My main page for FAQs is http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Content_Management_System_FAQs.php which has questions and answers as you laid out.

The code for my Search Page currently - http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Search.php - is just:

<html>

<head>

<body>
<form method="GET" action="http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Search_Results.php">

I 'know' this is totally wrong but I'm going round in ever decreasing circles trying to understand why??

I have spent quite some time looking through the forum - and read the documention - but can't find the very basics of doing a successful section search...

I have set up a search form at http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Search.php which is intended to look at the 'answer' field in the faq table and find any entries that contain keyword_answer as entered to the search box.

The results page is at http://www.itsnoprob.co.uk/Search_Results.php but I get no results found even for a word such as 'web' which is included in faq records.

To be clearer, this page I have left with pretty much 'standard' viewer page PHP coding, so I guess there must be some changes that I need to make to this page's coding to enable the correct selection and presentation of search results?????

Again, I apologise for such a basic question but what am I doing wrong??!

I just need a bit of advice so I can get started properly with search.

Many thanks,

Nigel

I would like to produce a 'global' search facility that would sit on all web site pages but with the ability to exclude sections - effectively reproducing the functionality of Interactive's Search Engine software....

Any assistance gratefully received.
