Re: [dan_999] IE9 Warning for AM 2 Users

For anyone good with code I think the following is what is wrong:

Loading category list...
add another category

In the _CustomEditFields.html template. Could be wrong mind and good luck to anyone who can sort it!

Re: [BillG] IE9 Warning for AM 2 Users

The issue was the category list on the create article page not loading.

I've found a workaround for anyone who uses IE9.

Edit the following file:

templates > admin > menus > _wrapper.html

Add the following line of code:

directly after the :

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

$settings.titlebar$

You'll probably notice there are two sections within this document, I think it's only the second one you need to edit but to be safe do it to both. This will force IE9 to work in compatability mode.

Over 50% of internet users use Internet Explorer so ignoring them or suggesting they change to firefox doesnt seem like the right answer! I think we should work with the browser / user and not against them.

Don't forget the new IE is faster and more secure than FF.

Also, Chrome doesnt work with the WYSIWYG editor in Article Manager.

Re: [dan_999] AM - Publishing Rules - Search

Thu, 16 Sep 2010 08:39:11 -0700

Actually I should say - if you have the search box coded onto a page somewhere you won't need a rule for it.

If you have the search box on a seperate page and 'include' that in your page then you will.

Re: [marlowreview] AM - Publishing Rules - Search

Thu, 16 Sep 2010 08:37:40 -0700

Hi,
Don't think you need a publishing rule for the search box.

You'll find the search box here: http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi and the templates to edit in the usual templates folder.

What are you trying to do?

I've just installed the beta of Internet Explorer 9 and discovered some fields in the Article Manager Admin area don't work [:(]

The drop down boxes for Category List in the add article page as an example.

If anyone has any tips on how to fix, please let me know!

Cheers Donna, yea discovered that mode today so been using that.

Can you keep us updated of any updates please?

Also, IE8 doesnt format some of article managers styles very well either, for example everything in publish rules seems centered.

Hi,
Its not my software, i just use it, been a customer for a good few years now!

You'll need to keep the template names the same as the publishing rules will refer to them. Just keep another copy of your templates so you can always refer back to them when something goes wrong!

Initially you shouldnt need to do anything with the publish rules but if you ever want a certain page different from the others you'll need to look at the publish rules

Hi,
One you get your head round it, you'll soon pick it up.

Best thing to do is design your site using front page as normal and make sure you have at least a design for:

index page

article page

category page

Then, take a look at the article manager templates and copy all the 'article manager' code over to each of your templates. Make sure you call your templates the same name as article manager do and save them in the same place.

This should at least get your basic site set up.

Think of each of your folders you have built as 'categories', think of each index page within your folder as a category page. Set up categories using the same name as you have for the folders to keep all your links the same.

You look like you have a large site and changing all of hat over to article manager will be a massive task! You'll have to keep all your page names the same, set your templates up to so you can input meta-tags, try and keep all your page titles the same etc. I would expect it to take you months if I'm honest, but good luck it will be worth it in the end.

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 10:57:30 -0700

Hi,
Wonder if anyone might know the answer to this?

I've just set up a new windows 'virtual server' hosting account, meaning I have full access to windows, iis and a nice plesk control panel.

All is working fine, except when I try to run /cgi-bin/admin.cgi I get the following message:

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers

I have checked permissions and all look ok, I have php and perl installed and working ok. I have mapped cgi to the perl path.

But still no luck!

Any ideas as to what else I could check please?

Thanks

Re: [KaboomJk] Replace CMS Builder?

I personally think Article Manager is way more powerful than CMS builder.

Anything you can do with CMS builder you can do with Article Manager and so much more!

The formatting of text should all be in your CSS file.

You'll find this in the templates\single pages folder.

Re: [javidtwins] serious novice : how to put article links on home page

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:57:54 -0700

Hi Kevin,

I'll try and take you through how to put the last five articles on your home page.

First of all you need to create a new html template that will be used to list the last five articles.

Create Web Template

So create a new webpage called 'featuredarticles.htm'

and insert the following code:

$article.title$

Then upload it to your cgi-bin/articlelists folder on your website.

Create Publish Rule

Now you need to log in to your article manager install, click into admin and then into publish rules.

Create a new rule with the following info:

Rule Name: Featured Articles
Rule Description: Top 5 articles on homepage
Rule Type: a list of articles
Template: articlelists/featuredarticles.htm (The one you just uploaded)
Placeholder: published.featuredarticles

Pulished Files: one file.
Filename: top5.

Limit Results: 1 to 5

Everything else can be left as default.

Save and publish rule.

Test

To make sure this works, type in your website address / top5.your extension.
So if you publish your site with asp as your extension you should be able to browse to:

http://www.YOURSITE.com/top5.asp - this should now list your last 5 articles, now its just a case of including this file on your homepage.

Include on homepage

Insert the following line onto your homepage: (Ensure your homepage can take inlcudes - usually needs to be shtml / asp etc.)

That *should* be all you need to do.

I've customised mine that much that I'm unsure as to what's standard and what I've created so if anything doesnt quite work just let me know.

Good luck - Dan.

Re: [Bovine Juice] AM and Google

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 08:56:06 -0700

Hi,

Personally I would have changed my publish path to:

http://soundsxp.com/news/Free_Witchita_MP3s.shtml

dropping the 'artman2/publish/' bit. It may be a bit late now if your site is already established though?

You should also run your site through the http://validator.w3.org/ - whilst not essential, clean error free code helps with search engine spidering.

For the sitemaps, I purchased a generator software package from http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ - this will then crawl your site and automatically create a sitemap for you. A sitemap is very useful as the search engines can crawl and find all your pages much easier. Once you have a sitemap, register with Google webmasters tools, Yahoo Site Explorer and Live Webmasters. You can then upload your sitemap details directly to the search engines.

Also your sites homepage seems quite slow to load, but not sure if this is just my connection or not.

Its a massive site - must have taken you a lot of work to develop!!

Re: [javidtwins] serious novice : how to create a popup window

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 08:11:24 -0700

You could either ensure the taget of the link is set to _blank or you could create a javascript popup window.

You would need to edit your articlepage.html template to inlcude this code:

Then as you create your article you would need to switch to view source and use this code each time you wanted a popup link:

http://www.google.com')">Click here to open window

Re: [javidtwins] serious novice : how to put article links on home page

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:55:15 -0700

Is your homepage PHP, ASP, SHTML or in a format that accepts page includes?

Article manager is capable of producing a page that will list your last 5 articles etc. and you could just 'include' this page into your normal homepage.

You would need to create a new template and a new publish rule but that should be it.

Dan

Re: [Bovine Juice] AM and Google

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:46:25 -0700

Do you have a sitemap and have you posted it to webmasters tools etc.?

Can you post your sites link up so we can take a look?

Re: [Kimber] search box question

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:53:14 -0700

I've probably changed my templates quite a bit but you should have something like this in your code which will bring the search box in:

If you remove that line and re-publish all then you shouldnt have the search box appear anymore.

Alternatively, you could edit this page:

/templates/singlepages/basicsearchbox.html

And replace that with your Google search box code, that way you don't need to edit any of your other article or category pages. Just make sure you take a back up first so you can revert back later should you need to.
