I'd like to add this option to my CMSB. Can you please let me know the steps?

Thanks

Hands-down CMSB:

1. ease of use
2. ease of administration
3. highly customizable
4. scalability
5. security
6. speed
7. flexibility
8. ability to power apps
9. economical
10. maintenance

I am building a yelp-like platform with the help of Greg, who has been amazing throughout the process and has created custom APIs that lets the app talk to the backend remotely, complete with Gamification such as badges, leaderboard and points tied to several types of user actions. I would not be able to design and build to custom specs with wordpress and expect the platform function the same way as it does with CMSB.

I will reach out to consulting. I was wondering if it's possible to modify the logged-in view of cms to serve as more of dashboard, etc.

the section in red will have multiple icons that control different tasks, and upon click load the page that appears below.

http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/1223619/533c7a37d68fafc3e168000db146a58d

Similar to how current dashboards show icons before the main text.

Thanks

Thanks

Yes, I would like to request help getting cmsb installed on aws. Please send me information through consulting email.

Thanks

My site is now receiving roughly 5K uniques a day, and the site keeps crashing with the following error:

The database error given was:
User illumema_illume already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

How can we fix this issue?

Thanks

We're thinking of having a hackathon to get some solid coders to build storytelling tools for ILLUME, using CMSB as platform. So I wanted to figure out the best approach. Do we add to our wish list the desire to have an API for CMSB, hoping someone takes that on as a challenge? What other ways would we be able to get coders to build plugins or add-ons without directly accessing our DB?

Thanks

Currently CMSB has the ability to create 4 thumbnails max I believe. Since we display our site on several screen sizes, ie: mobile apps, is there a way we can increase the number of thumbnails CMSB generates? Ideally, we would like to have 6 - 8...

Thanks

Code:

Article Detail Page Script

include_once("bitly.php");
$pageURL = "";
$pageURL .= 'http://www.illumemagazine.com/zine/'.$articlesRecord['_link'];
$bitly = new Bitly('illumemag','R_ba1b7740b5894dadbef24eca123d6508');
$slink = $bitly->shorten($pageURL);
// shortcut to print the shorten url
$bitly->stats($slink);
$tweet = $bitly->getData()->clicks; // Imprime a url encurtada.

I was wondering how I could modify this code to show results by author only... so users can navigate to next/prev articles by the given author...

Thanks

list($prevRecord, $nextRecord, $firstRecord, $lastRecord) = getPrevAndNextRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'am_articles',
'recordNum' => $articlesRecord['num'],
'where' => 'approved = 1', // optional - defaults to all records in section
'orderBy' => 'publishDate', // optional - defaults to schema listPageOrder
));
//echo "<pre>";print_r($nextRecord); print_r($prevRecord);
if($prevRecord)
{
$arlink= $prevRecord['_link'];
$atitle= $prevRecord['title'];

foreach ($prevRecord['article_image'] as $nupload):
$narticle= $nupload['urlPath'];
endforeach;
}
if($nextRecord){
$arlink= $nextRecord['_link'];
$atitle= $nextRecord['title'];

foreach ($nextRecord['article_image'] as $nupload):
$narticle= $nupload['urlPath'];
endforeach;
}

I will update the code. But that would mean that all the social sharing tracking count will restart based on the new URLs... Let me see if there's a way to tweak the fb share code so the long string isn't added in the URL..

I've added fb like buttons across my website. When users like an article, fb generally adds a bunch of tags/parameters to the URL and when users click the link on facebook, they are given an error message: Record Not Found!

THis is how a shared/liked link looks like: http://www.illumemagazine.com/zine/articleDetail.php?The-Black-History-of-the-White-House-13745&fb_action_ids=4681431706510&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=timeline_og&action_object_map=%7B%224681431706510%22%3A10150322600590421%7D&action_type_map=%7B%224681431706510%22%3A%22og.likes%22%7D&action_ref_map=[]

Is there a work around? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
