The solution was a Wordpress plugin called "Allow PHP Execute" (https://wordpress.org/plugins/allow-php-execute/). This allowed me to use the CMS Builder code inside a regular Wordpress page WITHOUT having to painstakingly put shortcode around every piece of PHP code (the other plugins required this task).

Hope this is helpful for somebody--and hope this doesn't sound "spammy" lol (it took me a lot of time to figure this out)

The only issue I am running into now is when you click on an archive page or category page link, the archive and category links in the sidebar now display this:

Notice: Undefined variable: archiveDates in /home/chroniccc/public_html/blog/archive.php on line 264 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/chroniccc/public_html/blog/archive.php on line 264

Notice: Undefined variable: archiveCategories in /home/chroniccc/public_html/blog/archive.php on line 272 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/chroniccc/public_html/blog/archive.php on line 272

I figured that this has something to do with the additional code on the archive.php page. Is there any way to make it so that the archive and category links still appear on the archive.php page? Screenshot is attached.

Thanks again!

I've searched the forums for some time and not finding the right answer that I'm looking for. I'm basically just trying to figure out how to display a list of categories for blog posts or news articles, as well as a simple "Month, Year" archive links.

Please see the example web page below, then look in the sidebar underneath the "Subscribe for Updates" section and you'll see exactly what I'm trying to accomplish:

In CMSB, I have a section called "blog", and a field list named "category", with an alphabetized list of category names to choose from for each post. What I'd like to achieve is:

1. For the Archives, have each hyperlink that says "Month, Year" link to a page that only shows all articles for that month/year.
2. For the Categories, have each hyperlink that says "CatName" link to a page that shows all articles associated with that specific category.

I can't seem to figure out how to display the links in the sidebar properly, and also need help generating the correct page that filters the results based on Month/Year and Category.

Thanks in advance...

<?php if (!@$CURRENT_USER): ?>
<?php echo ("<a href='/directory/'>Login</a>"); ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo ("<a href='?action=logoff'>Logoff</a>"); ?>
<?php endif ?>

I was just playing around and didn't expect this to work. I still don't understand the logic of what's happening here in the code LOL. I would like to understand this better. Can you shed a little light on how this is working?

Quite simply, at the top right of every page of the website, I want it to display "Login" hyperlink if a user is NOT logged in, and if a user IS logged in, the hyperlink should say "Logout" instead.

The sample code provided is programmed to only display an error message if you are already logged in and try to login again (THEN it gives you the option to logout, but only from the login page). But that's not what I want to accomplish.

I know there is a way to accomplish this via a PHP IF/THEN statement, but again, I'm having an incredibly difficult time understanding the logic and how to correctly write the code. Does it make more sense now?

<?php
function format_phone($phone){
$phone = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", "", $phone);

if(strlen($phone) == 7)

return preg_replace("/([0-9]{3})([0-9]{4})/", "$1-$2", $phone);

elseif(strlen($phone) == 10)
return preg_replace("/([0-9]{3})([0-9]{3})([0-9]{4})/", "($1) $2-$3", $phone);
else
return $phone;

}
?>

I saw comments in some other sites about this not being the best solution, but I don't understand why. As long as it's working for me it's fine, I guess!

Thank you!

In CMSB, I have been collecting phone numbers for member records as just 10 digits together with no dashes. So in in the database itself, it's showing as "##########".

What I want to do on the visual front end is show visual dashes automatically, so it displays as "###-###-####".

How can this be achieved?
