Re: [Jason] Does CMS Have a Help Support Function

If you cannot provide me the code to do it, I will need to request my boss to reconfigure what he is using now so it fits the look of the new site. I don't think he wants to spend hundred of thousands of dollars to have code done for what we want to do.

I am looking to have CMS do the exact or nearly the exact thing as the support page already there.

All you would have to do is show me the code to use and I can do it myself. If you guys did it, how much would you charge.

Does CMS Have a Help Support Function

Fri, 21 May 2010 13:50:34 -0700

I was just wondering, does CMS have a help support function that I can create and put in a web page, so if someone had any questions about content or anything related to the content on the page, they can click on a link, fill out a form and have it sent to the webmaster?

Right now we are working with a third-party program, but would like to use CMS Builder to create such a web page. Is that possible?

Continuation pages

Thu, 20 May 2010 17:22:16 -0700

I would like to know how continuation pages work in CMS Builder. I created this web page and placed 6 articles in the database. In the code generator, I request the limit be for 5 records. i have 6 records in the database now. How can I have the page set up so users can access the other records, when they are not on the present page?

I'll do that. I'll create field names including date, title, and content. This way i can input the exact year and month the article was published, along with the title of the article, and the article content itself. That should do it, right. Then I can sort by year and month, and go from there.

Re: [Jason] Creating Archive of Previous Articles

How do I sort by year and by month? Also, how can I give the user an option to limit the search to a specific year and month? Can you tell me where I can do it and can you give an example of the type of coding I would use, or at least point me in the right direction.

Re: [Jason] Creating Archive of Previous Articles

Okay, I can enter the articles in CMS. But to get to the articles, would it be a good idea to create a template in CMS where the year is listed. Then when the year is clicked, the results go to another page, also created in CMS detailing the months, and then when the month is clicked, another page is created in CMS with the actual article shown?

Or would this be too complicated.

Re: [Jason] Creating Archive of Previous Articles

The articles are in one folder. The folder will be divided up by year and month. So in folder archive, there will be folders fro the years. In each year will be months. In each month will be a ton of articles for that month. Does this help.

This is why I was thinking doing a search would be easier, because, even though each article will be stored as I described above, the CMS would be set up to point to the particular article based on a keyword or keywords entered. However, perhaps this may not be a great idea for CMS. I'm not sure what is the best method.

Any ideas.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Re: [Jason] Creating Archive of Previous Articles

Tue, 18 May 2010 13:21:14 -0700

So can I create one page for year and when they click the link, another page would come up for month, and then they can click that link and show a list of article titles with a link to the actual article page? Or can I design a web page where I can have them choose a year and a month at the same time on one page, and then when they click submit, the results go to the page where the article is located. If so, how can I do that. I need step-by-step help until I get familiar enough with CMS to do it on my own.

Thanks for your help. You are really giving me good direction and I appreciate it.

My boss is planning on hiring someone to type in all past articles in CMS gradually over time. I guess I just wanted to know if there was an easy way to set up the page so people could find the articles. In other words, should I do it per year and month, or by search term.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask this question. When you go to www.earthchangesmedia.com/newsite/ and you see how the entire site is layed out. I saw your demo site and would like to know how I can use CMS Builder to create the entire website instead of just one section. Right now I have CMS code located at the middle. Can I use CMS Builder to create the entire website, including the logos and images and placement of all boxes and content?

The articles are stored in a folder on the server. They were created by Article Manager. Article Manager placed them there as part of the publishing rules set up. I know where the articles are, I just would like to know how to construct the pages in CMS so people can find them.

If you go to www.earthchangesmedia.com/archives.php you will see how the page is arranged. Then when you click on a year, you will notice how the search feature of Article Manager is used. I wish to do the same thing but with CMS Builder. I need direction in order to do that.

Re: [Jason] Getting Noticed in Search Engines

Tue, 18 May 2010 11:56:54 -0700

I'm asking this, because when I checked Google yesterday by pasting the title of an article on the main page as you saw, Google did not list it. Any ideas why?

Re: [Jason] Getting Noticed in Search Engines

Tue, 18 May 2010 10:43:17 -0700

Take a look at this:

http://www.earthchangesmedia.com/newsite/. You will notice I set up this page as a detail page. Now click any link and you will be taken to an article page. This is how I was told to set up the articles. What I need to know, regarding SEO and search engines, is will Google be able to pick up the article on the articles page if the articles page changes with each click of a link.

Or does Google see the detail page and follow the link to the articles page. Is that how the system works?

Creating Archive of Previous Articles

Tue, 18 May 2010 10:11:12 -0700

I have a ton of articles dating back to 1995. I would like to set up an archive using CMS Builder where the user can click the year the articles were published and then choose the month. This way a detail page comes up giving a list of articles for that month.

Any ideas.

Re: [Jason] Getting Noticed in Search Engines

Mon, 17 May 2010 18:46:38 -0700

So in other words, I would have a list of article titles with a link to each one. But each link would go to a separate detail page. So link one would go to detail page one, link 2 would go to detail page 2, etc.?

Or are you just suggesting to have a detail page with all the titles and summaries with a link to the main article on one single page.

I thought that in order for Google to pick up the content, the title of the article had to be in the tag? <br /><br />Harry<br /> </article> <article> <h1>Getting Noticed in Search Engines</h1> <p>Mon, 17 May 2010 13:21:50 -0700</p> I created a web page and using CMS Builder, created a template that will publish the title and summary of an article.

This way that article title will appear. My question is this. Every time I place a new article title and summary into the database (the one I used to create the template for that single page), the article page will show the new title and summary. Will Google be able to index the previous article and the newest one, or will I have to create a copy page for that template so the original article is still available?
