Thanks for the tip. I sorted it out using your tip and the line of code below. 

    'orderBy'     => 'num ASC', // or DESC

Have a great day!

  // load records from 'timeline'
  list($timelineRecords, $timelineMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'timeline',
    'loadUploads' => true,
    'allowSearch' => false,

Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this so the links work after Facebook adds their additional tracking code?

I've tried the following with no luck so far:

I tried CMSB code with a trailing / slash:
<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>/" title="<?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?>"><?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?></a>

I tried CMSB code as is:
<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>" title="<?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?>"><?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?></a>

I tried querying the record number:
<a href="video-showcase.php?<?php echo $record['num'] ?>" title="<?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?>"><?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?></a>

All the options I have tried above have proved fruitless and the link from Facebook to my website continues to get broken by Facebooks additional code added to the links.

Any suggestions are much appreciated. 

Mikey

That worked great!!! I now have a much more robust search engine.

Thank you so much for the help.

One other question. Any suggestions on how to display the labels of a dropdown list instead of the list num?

For example when I use the code below, I get the numbers of the list item selected within the record.

'homes_for_sale'		=> 'bedrooms',

However, I would like to show the label of the list items selected. So I tried the code below, but it produces zero results.

'homes_for_sale'		=> 'bedrooms:label',

Thanks, Mikey

Thank you.

In CMS Builder for each section I have a checkbox named "Hidden" so some records can be changed to hidden to remove them from the website without the need to erase the record. Below is the full code I am using to get the list of sections.

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php
  
  // load viewer library
  $libraryPath = 'cmsb/lib/viewer_functions.php';
  $dirsToCheck = ['','../','../../','../../../','../../../../'];
  foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
  if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }
?>

Thank you, Mikey

Below is a snippet of code for my search engine's tag cloud showing what I'm trying to accomplish... thought what I have fails to work, but I think you'll get the idea.

    $sectionsToField = array(
        'news'                => 'title' and NOT hidden,
        'media'                => 'name' and NOT hidden,
        'about'                => 'name',
        'products'            => 'name',
        'services'            => 'name',
    );

Thanks Mickey

Mail Error: No messages were sent, check mail server settings! Email delivery failed for: johndoe@example.com

This issue effects some people, but not all. I have tested the form repeatedly, on multiple devices and browsers. However, I am not able to reproduce the error message.

I am using CMSB V3.55 to power the website, and under "Email Settings" I have the following assigned:

How to send mail Use PHP's built-in mail() function (default)

So I'm stumped on what can be causing this.

Anyone have any suggestions to trouble shoot this?

Thanks, Mikey

Their accounts are "By Section" access. 

Any other suggestions?

I gave that a try, but I get the following message "You don't have permissions to access this menu."

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up hiring Interactive Tools to build me a plugin to accomplish all the task I needed the uploader fields to deliver on a per/image basis. The plugin they created for me works really great and does more than I requested... bringing additional features to the plate such as the ability to activate a WYSIWYG editor on a per/image basis as well.

There are some great suggestions in this thread that I seriously considered, but in the end - there needed to be many possible options available on a per/image basis - all of which the client would determine at the time they would upload their photos. Thus the need for a plugin.

Cheers, Mickey

CMS Builder is such a great website building platform. I've used many various CMS solutions over the years - and CMS Builder is hands down my favorite, and my clients love the ease of use. I look forward to exploring the new features and rolling out new sites built on CMSB.

Cheers, Mikey

Thank you for the feedback. What you recommended is something I considered, but I decided to just hire you guys to build me a plugin for this - which is in development now. : )

Below is some code that loads a Tag Cloud that I use to query a site's search engine. In my news, photos, videos and events section editors I a pulldown called "categories" that I can assign a category to each record I create. I'd like to load up all the chosen categories in the tag cloud, but I can't figure out what needs to be done to load up the select for 'categories:label' in the code below. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

   'news'      => 'categories:label',
   'photos'    => 'categories:label',
   'videos'    => 'categories:label',
   'events'    => 'categories:label',
);

foreach($sectionsToField as $sectionName => $fieldName) {

//get records
$records = mysql_select($sectionName);

foreach ($records as $record) {
//turn field into an array of values
    $tags = explode("\t", @$record[$fieldName]); // Modified for multiple tags associated with record.

// add tags to the count array
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
$tag = trim($tag);
if (!$tag) { continue; } // skip empty array values

   if (array_key_exists($tag, $tagsToCount)) {
   $tagsToCount[$tag]++; }
   else {
   $tagsToCount[$tag] = 1; 
      }
  }
}
}
//PHP doesn't have a shuffle function built in that maintains keys, but this version does.

  $random = array(); 
  foreach ($keys as $key) { 
    $random[$key] = $list[$key];

I am trying to change 'titleField' => 'title',  into 'titleField' => 'title.' '.subtitle, but what I have here doesn't work. It's been a long day and I'm too exhausted to think on this. Any suggestions on what I have wrong here?

$searchTables['news'] = array(
 'viewerUrl'       => 'news-article.php',
 //'titleField'      => 'title',
 'titleField'      => 'title.' '.subtitle,
 'summaryField'    => 'content',
 'searchFields'    =>  array('title','summary','content','keywords','categories'),
 'field1'       => 'createdDate',
);

Thanks, Zicky

I thought about it, but ive already used all those fields for other things. thanks for the suggestion though. 

I have some code seen below I have used for years. Everything works fine - with the exception of the "var styles" section. The purpose of the "var styles" is to make the maps grayscale by removing the saturation of color from the map. However, this no longer appears to be working and my maps are the default color of Google maps.

I have attached an image showing the color I am trying to achieve. 

Any suggestions on how to get this working again?

Thank Zicky

  <script type="text/javascript"> 
  $(window).load()
        { var styles = [
            {"stylers": [{ "saturation": -100 }]}
        ]; }
    function initialize() { 
      var latitude    = <?php echo floatval(@$maprecord['latitude']); ?>; 
      var longitude   = <?php echo floatval(@$maprecord['longitude']); ?>; 
      var mapCanvasId = 'map_canvas';
      if (latitude) {
        var mapOptions  = { mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
		    scrollwheel: false,
                    mapTypeControl: false,
                    streetViewControl: false,
		    styles: styles
					};
		//var mapOptions  = { mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN };
		//var mapOptions  = { mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID };
        var map         = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(mapCanvasId), mapOptions);
        var latLng      = new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude);
        var marker      = new google.maps.Marker({map: map, position: latLng });

        map.setCenter(latLng);
        map.setZoom(18);
      }
    }
  </script>

There's been a feature I have long wanted for the "Uploads" field, that would allow me to assign "checkbox" functions to the upload field. I'm hoping someone here may have a solution or suggestion they can share. Please see the attached images for examples of what I am trying to achieve.

Overview: The need for this is primarily related to website slideshows, and the need for me to specify if I want the upload's "title" and "caption" to align left, right or center in the slideshow - on a per-slide basis. For example slide one may have the text aligned left, and the second slide has text aligned center, and the third with text aligned right.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Zicky

Between your two suggestions I came up with something that works... though I wouldn't say it's clean. Basically your suggestions worked, but the code was still showing categories - even if an available category was not assigned to a document. So I wrote a little comparison to find it there's a match and if YES, then show the category. I then wrapped it in some CSS masonry columns.

<div class="masonry">
<?php $documentsGroupedRecords = array_groupBy($documentsRecords, 'categories', true); ?>
<?php foreach ($documentsGroupedRecords as $cats => $records): ?> 

    <div class="brick">
        
    <?php foreach (getListOptions('documents', 'categories') as $value => $label): ?>
        <?php if ($value == $cats): ?>
            <h2><?php echo $label; ?></h2>
        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endforeach ?>
        
    <?php foreach ($records as $record): ?>
        <?php foreach ($record['document'] as $upload): ?>
            <?php $recordTitle = ucwords(strtolower($record['title'])); ?>

                <?php if($upload = (@$record['document'][0])){
                echo '<h5><a href="download.php?num='.$record['num'].'" >'.$recordTitle.'</a></h5>'; } ?>
    
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
        
    </div>
<?php endforeach ?>
</div>

Here's the CSS

/* @media screen based on Foundation 6 framework */
/* Small only */
@media screen and (max-width: 39.9375em) {
  .masonry {
    column-count: 1;
    column-gap: 1em;
  }
  .brick {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 0 0 1em;
    width: 100%;
  }
}
/* Medium only */
@media screen and (min-width: 40em) and (max-width: 63.9375em) {
  .masonry {
    column-count: 2;
    column-gap: 1em;
  }
  .brick {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 0 0 1em;
    width: 100%;
  }
}
/* Large and up */
@media screen and (min-width: 64em) {
  .masonry {
    column-count: 3;
    column-gap: 1em;
  }
  .brick {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 0 0 1em;
    width: 100%;
  }
}

Thanks,

Zicky
