From archive to current problem

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:54:07 -0700

We are in the process of pulling all our files out of our archives and into the current data.cgi file. We are successful in unarchiving our files but AM 1.40 promptly erases those files right after they are published. Any thoughts why this is happening and what we can do about it?

Re: [Dave] Previous / Next pages missing list page image

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:38:58 -0700

Thanks for your usual quick response, Dave. That doesn't seem to do the trick. It's happening on my Events pages, too. Here's a peek: http://www.ecology.uga.edu/eventsList.php?page=1

Page 1 is fine... got my topbar menu and my sidebar category listings.
Page 2 is wonky... lost the topbar menu items that are pulling from the database and my sidebar category listings.

I suspect an answer to this would be the solution to the graduate school pages as well.

Hum....

Previous / Next pages missing list page image

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:54:40 -0700

Hey guys -

I've got a section on my site that only uses one list template to display information specific to each of my 8 categories. Each category uses a specific thumbnail image in the sidebar. One of those groups requires more than one page to display all the names and I can't seem to figure out how to repeat its category image without messing up the other pages.

The page is at: http://uga.edu/dev/ecology/directoryList.php?faculty_directory=Regular%20Faculty. The page in question is http://uga.edu/dev/ecology/directoryList.php?faculty_directory=Graduate%20Students. If you scroll down to go to the next page, you'll see where I lose the photo in the sidebar.

I've read some forum posts and then tried the following...

include ("/usr/www/uga/htdocs/dev/cmsAdmin/templateFiles/viewers/facultyDirectoryListViewer.php");
$options['where'] = "directory_name = '$facultyDirectory'";
list($listRows, $listDetails) = getListRows($options);
?>

$type = @$_GET['faculty_directory'];
if ($type == 'Regular Faculty' or
$type == 'Emeritus Faculty' or
$type == 'Courtesy Faculty' or
$type == 'Adjunct Faculty' or
$type == 'Conservation Faculty' or
$type == 'Postdoctoral Associates' or
$type == 'Research Staff' or
$type == 'Administrative Staff'):
?>

" width="240" height="210">

$type = @$_GET['faculty_directory'];
if ($type == 'Graduate Students'):
?>

...this isolated the graduate student pages and called the image (YEAH!)... but the other directory pages lost their sidebar image (boo!) :

Can you help me?

Re: [Janet] Hyperlinking to other table data

Dave -

We're going in a different direction for this solution. Don't trouble yourself. I'm going to add a couple of fields which we'll enter manually. A couple of the faculty are listed twice and my content editor doesn't know which one to select from the list menu. Thanks anyway!

I think it would work... except the link pulls up another unrelated entry that contains "lname" in the text. I tried using "num" as a list field option which would be a more exact way to locate the entry but my attempts weren't successful.

I've got a similar question and hope you can help.

I'm trying to link one record to another within the same database ("faculty_member"). In this case, it's directory listing where professors and students can enter their information. I've added an extra field where students can enter the name of their advising professor. I made this field ("major_professor") a list field using the same database ("faculty_member") to populate the list. I used "num" as one list field option and "lname" as the another (just in case there are two professors with the same last name.)

I can't figure out how to filter the search so that the value of "major_professor" links to that professors profile page.

This is what the code looks like so far:

$type = @$_GET['faculty_directory'];
if ($type == 'Postdoctoral Associates'):
?>

// gets the name of the student

//this is the linking statement where the name of the major professor links to his/her profile page.

I hope my explanation make sense.

Hey Dave - do you ever sleep?

Thanks again for your quick response. Your code worked great once I realized my mistake. I use Dreamweaver in conjunction with CMS Builder so when I created the menu I used the "List Menu" format. Time for a vacation.

Here's the snippet I ended with:

In the head tags:

Inside the body tag:

I strayed a little from your code and set up a separate section edition for "Semesters." Next time, I'm going to try it using a list field in the article editor, your code and the right Dreamweaver code for jump menu.

This is a win-win. My client is getting a cool site, she's loving how easy it is to enter content, I'm loving how much I can customize it PLUS I think I'm learning a little PHP.

The page isn't perfect yet - I'm still tweaking but here it is: http://www.uga.edu/dev/ecology/coursesList.php?category=Fall%202008

Thanks again!

Drop down menu

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:02:24 -0700

I have created a "courses" list page (http://www.uga.edu/dev/ecology/coursesList.php). I only set up one section editor but I included a field called "semester" where I listed Fall 2008, Spring 2009, Summer 2009...etc.

What I wanted to include on my "courses" list page is a drop down menu populated by the [semester] field.

This code populates the drop down menu:
