Thanks Greg. I attached the .php and a .jpg with the idea of how I want it to look.

I need a little help with a Multi viewer page...

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:43:30 -0800

It's been a long time since I worked with this program and I'm having trouble getting the records to appear they way I want them too. I'm trying to get a list column on the right with the links appearing with the name and a thumbnail image. I want the left column to show the record details. The details are showing up with every image and I can't figure out how to stop that.

I'm not sure about the best way to go about it. Basically I have one main image for the detail, a thumbnail image that I want in the right column as part of the menu list, and another image I uploaded to place as a header and another image to use as a link image.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Jason] I get an error message when I try to use the file uploader to upload images

Thanks Jason. I'll work around until then.

I get an error message when I try to use the file uploader to upload images

Thu, 23 Aug 2012 14:32:47 -0700

"User Agent must be Flash, not: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.79 Safari/537.1'"

I can click on the image icon inside the WYSIWYG and upload fine but not using the file upload link.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to fix it?

Re: [abincline] Viewer pages don't show as soon as I add another viewer code...

Sun, 17 Apr 2011 13:59:31 -0700

I never got above a C in programming but I'm a great "copy & paster". I remember struggling with "hello world".

But my java professor gave me the best advice ever, he said "if it is a code that is needed then someone else has already written it." Go forth and find it. Hence, the beginning of my "copy & paste" career.

I went ahead and invested in the CMS Builders Cookbook that was mentioned by the very nice person that helped me. I had to justify it to my husband by telling him it was like trying to work on a car without the owners manual. I haven't received it yet but I'm hoping it will save me some time.

Thank you! Works just the way I want it to.

Viewer pages don't show as soon as I add another viewer code...

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 18:07:30 -0700

I know this has to be something really simple but I suck at programming so I can't figure out which character is giving me a problem.

One viewer on page:

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/nmcleanc/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($featured_storiesRecords, $featured_storiesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'featured_stories',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$featured_storiesRecord = @$featured_storiesRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$featured_storiesRecord) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

?>

works. But when when I try to add another viewer to the page:

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/nmcleanc/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($featured_storiesRecords, $featured_storiesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'featured_stories',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$featured_storiesRecord = @$featured_storiesRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$featured_storiesRecord) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

?>

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/nmcleanc/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($featured_storiesRecords, $featured_storiesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'featured_stories',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$featured_storiesRecord = @$featured_storiesRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$featured_storiesRecord) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

?>

Does not work. I get a broken link error and the page doesn't show at all.

Problems getting a flash form to work

Sun, 10 Apr 2011 20:13:37 -0700

I'm trying to get a flash contact form to work inside of CMS builder but can't get it to work. When I use the embed icon from the wysiwyg editor it tells me it can't find my .xml file but the file is in the folder where it's supposed to be.

I've tried several ways to get it to show up. I can get it to work outside the /cmsAdmin/ folder but not within the program.

I've managed to get this exact form to work before but it has been a few years ago.

Re: [rebjr] Record Not Found on some pages

Geez, this would have been much easier. The client requested the ability to edit this herself but using this eliminates the need to. [crazy]

Record Not Found on some pages

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 22:54:34 -0800

My client wanted me to post an area at the bottom of each page that contains her copyright in a way that she can edit it each year. I put the code for a single page copyright record at the bottom of each of her pages. The first page of each shows the copyright but subsequent pages say "No Record Found" but it's only 1 record.

http://nancycarleton.com/praiseList.php?page=1 Copyright shows up fine

http://nancycarleton.com/praiseList.php?page=2
and after "No Record Found"

require_once "/hermes/web01/b2486/pow.nancycarleton/htdocs/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($copyrightRecords, $copyrightMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'copyright',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'loadUploads' => '0',
'limit' => '1',
'allowSearch' => 'false',
));
$copyrightRecord = @$copyrightRecords[0]; // get first record

?>

No record found!

Thu, 15 May 2008 12:44:34 -0700

Ok Dave, I know I'm close. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

http://nancycarleton.com/cmsAdmin/writingList.php

This page should show links to each category and then a link that goes to a list of story summaries from only that category. Each of the summaries would then link to the full story.

Thanks for you help [:)]

Re: [Dave] Coding dilemma setting up CMS pages

Wed, 14 May 2008 10:53:49 -0700

Thank you for your help Dave. I have gotten as far as the writingPage. I created the new section and I managed to get the drop down menu from the categories section into the writingPage but now I think I need a little help with this part;

writingList.php?categoryNum=1

I'm not sure how or where I need to put this part. I want to call a summary from each category to appear on the writingPage with the links going to the full story. Maybe a little example would help.

Coding dilemma setting up CMS pages

Sat, 10 May 2008 12:56:49 -0700

My client wants a her writing page to have summaries of her articles which link to her full article pages and she wants listed by category with the ability to add more categories later.

I already have the site pretty much built so when she gave me this request with a list of categories my brain went blank as to how I can accomplish this.

Since I already have her writing page set up isn't there a way to add a field "Categories" that would pull up the summaries of those categories somehow. Geez, I know this program was designed to do this somehow without having to build separate pages for each category she wants.

The site is still a work in progress but here it is for anyone that can give me an idea about how to go about this.

Re: [Dave] Is there a jump to page feature?

Fri, 09 May 2008 12:53:15 -0700

Yes, exactly. The prev and next arrows are good but if you have a bunch of pages it would be nice to be able to just click on the page number. Something like the bottom of this page;

Fri, 09 May 2008 10:54:54 -0700

Is there a way to type in or click on a specific page rather than scroll through all pages using the arrows at the bottom?

Too much space between records...

Fri, 09 May 2008 07:31:51 -0700

I can't figure out how to delete the extra lines between records. My client says this is very important to her, she only wants 2 lines between but it looks like 4 lines no matter what I do.

Other than turning it all into one long record, is there a trick I can use? [:|]

Re: [Dave] How does CMS Builder handle long pages?

Thu, 01 May 2008 18:02:11 -0700

Thanks Dave,

You mean just split the article into pieces -- part 1 and 2? Does that mean I would have to use the list page as the viewer in order to get the <>? Set it up like; writingList.php for the summarys and then writing2List.php for the full articles with the prev and next to scroll through records? Can I just use the that section and paste it into the bottom of the writingPage.php? [:|]

I'll play around with it.

How does CMS Builder handle long pages?

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 23:36:31 -0700

Is there a way to have extra long articles carry over to additional pages within the same record? I have a client that sometimes creates articles that should span more than one page to prevent scrolling down to infinity. Is there a way to have the program automatically generate new pages after so many characters? [:/]
