Menu Groups

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 09:50:49 -0700

Is there a way to put menu groups into groups themselves? I wanted to put several menu groups together to better organize my sidebar in the Admin area. Any help is appreciated.

jquery slider

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 10:43:35 -0700

I'm trying to use this jquery slideshow on a page I'm currently working on. The user wants to have the ability to add pictures w/ text on the overlay of the image. So in CMSBuilder I'm thinking that I will have to have an upload image field and a title field, where they can add the text they want to go along w/ the image. Here's the link...

Here's the HMTL

Does anyone know how to get this to work w/ CMSBuilder? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Jerry, it has. I do have another problem that seems like it might be easy, w/ the same code, I'm trying to get more than one "News" event to show on the page, actually I want 3 to show. How would I go about this, I can't seem to find an answer. Thanks for any help

Just to give an update. I fixed the problem. Here is the header...

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/content/s/t/u/stud74/html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($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($mainRecords, $mainMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'main',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
));
$mainRecord = @$mainRecords[0]; // get first record

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

// load records
list($newsRecords, $newsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'news',
));
$newsRecord = @$newsRecords[0]; // get first record

?>

and here is what I put in the body....

Thanks for your info and help. I'm sure I'll need more in the future.

Jerry, I found the info out that helped me in your cookbook.

Thanks,

I tried both solutions but no change.

Hey Jerry, I bought the cms cookbook yesterday, but I'm not finding any examples so far, still digging around.

Any more thoughts? Do you need me to post anything else code wise? Thanks for all your help.

Multiple records from different editors on same page

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 11:49:23 -0700

I've look over the forums to try and figure this out, but haven't gotten it to work yet. I have my index.php page that I want to display "main content" on and "current news" on as well. How do I go about this? I have a section editor of the main content, as well as a section editor for the news. The header code is...

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/content/s/t/u/stud74/html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load main
list($mainRecords, $mainMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'main',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$mainRecord = @$mainRecords[0]; // get first record

// load news
list($newsRecords, $newsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'news',
'perPage' => '1',
));

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

?>

and what I have in the body is...

(for the main content)
and...

(for the news)

The main content displays fine, but I'm getting this error on the news section...
Notice: Undefined variable: newsRecord in /home/content/s/t/u/stud74/html/jacob/index.php on line 160

Re: [gkornbluth] IE problem

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 12:32:30 -0700

Hey Jerry,

Not sure what happened with the listings they posted, but I went back and deleted what my client has posted and re input the info. Everything works fine now. I did take your advice and made some of the listings hidden. That seemed to fix the problem. It was weird though, I hid the first 2 listings and then the fourth. If I left the third showing it worked. I have attached a screen cap. Thanks for the reply and help. If the problem comes again I'll repost and dig further. Have a good day.

IE problem

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 08:54:06 -0700

I have been contacted by a client that is having a problem w/ their website. The page shows fine in Chrome/Firefox, but in IE there is a problem. Here is the link...
http://www.greenwaysrealestateandauction.com/listingList.php?page=1
I went and looked in CMS Builder and couldn't find anything that they may have typed in wrong. If you notice in IE that the first listing that is messed up, the "Russell Drive" listing, which has the endif on it, the description is from another listing on down the page displayed in Firefox/Chrome. Also, when you actually click on the "view listing" on the "Russell Drive" link, that page doesn't display correct either in IE. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening? Haven't had a problem w/ the website since deploying until now. So I was thinking it was something that they may have typed in CMS Builder to make it do this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 23:11:48 -0800

I have a question and I think it is similar to this post...
http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/Products_C2/CMS_Builder_F35/gforum.cgi?post=61444;search_string=change%20domains;guest=60186647&t=search_engine#61444
which I've read but still can't figure out. I have a hosting account that was under idsitepreview.com, I changed the hosting account to my other domain greenwaysrealestateandauction.com. Now all the records in the database are still pointing to idsitepreview.com.....here's an example....http://www.greenwaysrealestateandauction.com/listingList.php
When you hover over the image of the property you can see the idsitepreview link still there. What do I need to do to get this to link to greenwaysrealestateandaucion? I am looking into the database, but not real sure what I need to do. Thanks for any help.

Question

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:01:10 -0700

I am working on a Realty site. I have 2 pages, one with current listings and one with sold listings. In CMSB I have a list drop box that lets you choose if it's avaliable, pending sale, or sold. I want to be able to have a listing move to the sold section when it is marked sold. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for your help.

Realty question

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:30:25 -0700

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am working on a Realty website, right now specifically the "sold listings" section. I want to show the sold listings by year, as in "sold in 2009", "sold in 2008" on the page. Does anyone have any good ideas how to go about doing this? It seems like I should know this, but can't really figure it out. I have attached an example of what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance.

Pull text from another website

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:12:59 -0700

I have been trying to figure this one out for awhile now. Does anyone know how to pull just text from another website w/o bringing the pictures over using php. I used this and got the whole page w/ pictures.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
// you can do something with $data like explode(); or a preg match regex to get the exact information you need
echo $data; ?>

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Damon] Importing database to CMSB

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:03:11 -0700

Hey Damon,

Thanks for the reply. I received the CSV file from the company that was handling my clients website before. I imported the database in phpMyAdmin, but recieved this error when importing.....

Error

SQL query:

"1";

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds
to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"1"' at line 1

This is the first time ever importing anything into a database, and I'm very new to the whole database thing anyway. Could you point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help you can provide. I can send you the CSV file if needed. Just let me know. Thanks again

Importing database to CMSB

Tue, 12 May 2009 11:36:04 -0700

Hey guys, I am taking over a website for a client. I have redesigned the site and need to get the database information that is already on the web. What is the best way to go about this? I am about to contact the current web designer who said he would give me any help. What I should ask him to do? What is the best way to go about this? As in exporting/importing the database, things of that nature. Thanks for any help.

Re: [ross] Help with Google Maps

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:51:23 -0800

I filled in all the $record's w/ $listingRecord and it still doesn't work. When I view source on www.idsitepreview.com/map.php, this line is working correctly:

var marker = createMarker(point,', ')

but I still can't get anything on the GLatLng line. Any more thoughts? Thanks.

Re: [ross] Help with Google Maps

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 23:34:55 -0800

Here is what I have right now. I've been trying all weekend to figure this out but can't. Hopefully someone can figure this out. Here's the source from uploaded map.php:

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Google Maps Example

Here's the code of map.php in dreamweaver:

require_once "/home/content/g/r/e/greenways1/html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($listingRecords, $listingMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'listing',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$listingRecord = @$listingRecords[0]; // get first record

?>
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Google Maps Example

In the view source on the web, it's not pulling the GLatLng info that it needs. But I can't figure out how to get it to work.

Re: [blind2uriz] Help with Google Maps

When I made a map section in CMS builder and then input the lat and long and then inserted in dreamweaver, it worked, i got the map but didn't get any markers or anything, so now i'm trying to go back to the map.php code i was using and trying to figure out what is going on. could it be something in the php at the top of my page?

Re: [ross] Help with Google Maps

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:31:54 -0800

ok i came home and I had that line in the var point= correct. Anyway, I decided just to be easier, I scratched that and made a whole new map section w/ text fields for lat and long. I output the php and set up the map.php. Put everything in the correct manner again and it still won't work. I get this error:

Notice: Undefined variable: listingRecords in /home/content/g/r/e/greenways1/html/map.php on line 43

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/g/r/e/greenways1/html/map.php on line 43

The page is just blank. No javascript error. Here is the link to the page:

Here is the page I want it on:

I made an iframe in the bottom right of the page where I want the map to show up.

I'm trying to get this to work as well. I followed the instructions, setting up a latitude and longitude field in my real estate listings detail page, listingDetail.php, then output the code and copied the appropriate php in the appropriate place, but I can't get the page to work correctly, here's my entire page code:

require_once "/home/content/g/r/e/greenways1/html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($listingRecords, $listingMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'listing',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$listingRecord = @$listingRecords[0]; // get first record

?>

your code is , I changed that to ? Is that right? I've tried changing different things in the code but nothing seems to work. Thanks for any help.
