Nevermind, I figured it out. I wasn't loading the login redirect script before the rest of the code.

DUH!

OK, I almost have everything working. However, when someone hits the protected page and they are not logged in, they hit a SQL error message instead of being bounced to the login page.

This is a link to the protected page and the error:

http://www.homesbyexcalibur.com/home_info.php

Here is my header code:


  require_once "/home/ekfriend/public_html/cms/lib/viewer_functions.php";
    
  list($homeownersRecords, $homeownersMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'homeowners',
    'where' => " home_owner_user = {$CURRENT_USER['num']} ",
    'limit'       => '1',
  ));
  $homeownersRecord = @$homeownersRecords[0]; // get first record

  list($settingsRecords, $settingsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'settings',
    'limit'       => '1',
  ));
  $settingsRecord = @$settingsRecords[0]; // get first record

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

?>

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. So for my config I was thinking I would have a multi record section labeled HOMES as you suggested. Each record then, if I am understanding this right, would have all the fields I need (Title, Name, Content, File Uploads for Images, etc.) as well as a field that would allow me to choose which registered user (from the membership plugin) would be allowed to access that page (record).

Does that sound about right?

Membership Plugin Quick Question

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:25:01 -0700

I am preparing to order the membership plugin for CMSB, but i have one point that I need some clarification on.

I'm setting up a site for a custom home builder and they want a private area where customers can login and see pictures of their home during the construction process and we as a place they can access documents that relate to that customer only.

My question is, can the membership plugin be easily configured to display UNIQUE content to the current member logged in? In my case, each customer would have their own unique files that I would only want them to have access to, not other clients.

Thanks in advance!

I've used CMS Builder on 2 different websites now and getting ready to start the third. LOVE this software and how user friendly it is. I'm a website designer, so having something like this that is easy for my customers to maintain is an absolute must. Keep up the great work!

Photo Gallery Plug-In

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:57:21 -0700

I'd love to see a PHOTO GALLERY plug-in designed for CMS builder that made use of LightBox or LightWindow.

I'd be happy to pay for this sort of plug-in as well as be a guinea pig for the development process, but I think this would be very useful for a lot of users out there trying to create an image gallery that is client (end-user) friendly.

Photo Gallery

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:53:18 -0700

I have a new client that will need a "portfolio" of images displayed on their site. There will be 2 categories (Interior/Exterior) and those 2 categories will have maybe 6 sub-categories each. The images contained within the different sub-categories I would like displayed in a thumbnail view with a certain number of thumbnails displayed per page. I was thinking that when someone clicked the thumbnail that would trigger a LightBox/Windows script to display the full size image.

The images would be controlled through the admin interface only as we won't be allowing customers to upload their own images to the gallery, just the admins to add new images to the gallery or remove old ones.

I've searched through the forums and have found some scattered hints on how to set this up, but nothing definitive, nor have I found a plug-in to purchase (which I would gladly do) from the plug-in store.

I would very much appreciate if someone could not only confirm that this is possible using CMS Builder but also some sort of guide on how to accomplish it. I'm no stranger to CMS Builder or website design, but I want to make sure this is done right and easy for my client to add/remove images themselves without having to get me involved.

Thanks in advance for any help you are willing to give me.
