Validating a coupon

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:44:27 -0700

I am able to validate a coupon using some of your existing code from the website membership add on... but while validating the coupon, I need to also make sure the coupon relates to the product detail page it's on.

I know how to do it, but I don't know how to write it. here's the code I have that checks the code for existance.

 // validate coupon code
	  if (!$errorsAndAlerts) {
      $count = mysql_select_count_from('coupon_codes', "`code` = '".mysql_escape(@$_REQUEST['couponCode'])."'");
      
	  if ($count > 0 && @$_REQUEST['couponCode']) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "Your code has been validated!  Please fill out the form below to process your order\n"; 
	  $showSignupForm  = true; }
	  
	  else if(!$count > 0 && @$_REQUEST['couponCode']) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "Your code is not valid!  Please check the code and try again.  If you feel you've gotten this message in error, please contact us.\n"; }

when it checks the code, it also needs to check to make sure it's 'item_reference' matches the detailrecord 'title'

anything you can do would be appreciated.

2 types of CURRENT_USERS

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:37:51 -0700

we have 2 sections of the website, one section for retailers and one section for sales reps. Very simply, want to redirect upon login, IF the CURRENT_USER is a 'type' = retailer we want them to go to one place, and the same when the 'type' is sales.

But we also need to add verification code int he header to check to makes sure they are retailers and sales.

we tried a few things, but can't find the best way that works to do it. what do you suggest?

load error

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 07:27:59 -0800

I'm getting the following error on ALL of my php pages, including the cmsb:

loadINI: Error parsing /data/15/1/140/138/1792138/user/1939266/htdocs/admin/data/settings.dat.php on line 1

I assume this is a server error because it worked fine before. Please let me know your thoughts.. maybe the settings.dat.php file is out of date?

Please let me know asap.

yes that's it!

displaying content without images

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:30:18 -0800

how do I display the content section without any placed images? this is for the list view section. here's what's there now..

different every day

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 11:54:41 -0800

Italian word of the day... my client has posted the word and it's meaning for about 10 words and want to post more... but we want them to rotate every day. We can start with the first record and display the second record tomorow, third the day after and so on (or even randomly display one per day, whichever is easier). Please assist with the code. here's what I have now which is set for displaying them at random.

Header Code

list($italian_word_of_the_dayRecords, $italian_word_of_the_dayMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'italian_word_of_the_day',
	'where'       => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
    'orderBy'     => 'RAND()',
    'limit'       => '1'
  ));

yeah that'll do it. Thanks Dave.

If Last Image

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 21:59:31 -0800

I'm using a 3rd party javascript for a flash slideshow and it contains a very simple imagearray which I've successfully integrated with CMSB.. this is the code:


		["", "", "", ""],

Only problem is, the 'comma' has to come off the last image in the code, so I need the code to tell it to remove the comma if it's the last image. Can you help?

Thanks Chris, I really didn't think that could have been a possibility! [:P]

Re: [zick] jump Menu from checkboxes

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 16:35:21 -0700

Thank you Zick for pointing this out.. I tried to go through this and understand the difference.. but it's just a little too confusing since I think the setup was a little different... Chris, can you see where the error is coming from in what you sent?

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 20:31:52 -0700

I see what you did here... but I'm getting an internal server error 0 with this markup

jump Menu from checkboxes

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 15:29:01 -0700

Businesses are listed in a multi-section editor and separated by categories with checkboxes since a single business can have multiple categories. I'm trying to create a jump menu that shows all listings under specific checked-off categories and was able to do it with the below code... only problem is, any listing that is double-exposed, shows up twice... can we avoid the duplication?

The Page says: Error: 0

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 13:34:32 -0700

Every time I save something throughout the builder, I get this error. then I click okay, cancel the action and refresh the page and it takes. So there's really no error... just an intruding window that breaks the process and forces me to cancel. Please advise what you think I should do.

Ampersand in a list viewer

Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:56:42 -0700

I have a list of coaches specializing in different sports... one of them 'Track & Field'... and when I call up the page that displays these coaches, how do I call up the coaches with that category in the URL... for example, the following doesn't work (for obvious reasons)...
http://ultimatesportsamerica.com/coaches/?sport_category=track & field
The easy fix is to change it to track and field... but I'm using this category list in a dropdown menu and the client wants the ampersand... so if there's something I need to do here, please let me know. I also need to know how to make it work for an apostraphe.

thanks ITools!

Re: [gkornbluth] Calendar populated with CMS Builder records

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:37:31 -0700

Nicely done guys... certainly something I've been requesting for a long time... and it works beautifully... Now I'm trying to build a 'mini calendar' now that I can place on the home page in the sidebar. This mini calendar would be a mini version of Zickey's original, and resized to a 175px wide format and if there's a record for a day, the day number or box would be highlighted. All I need to do is remove the contents for the record and reconfigure the if statement, but need a little help because the 'day' is part of it's own if statement and it's getting complicated.

(the tooltip would be ideal for this one as well, but I think it might get in the way of other days, so we can leave that out).

Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [chris] Search within CMSBuilder by Date Range

I'll wait until the database gets intense before we do any custom coding. Maybe I'll try to get this worked into the quote Dave is working on for me.

thanks

Re: [chris] Search within CMSBuilder by Date Range

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:53:59 -0700

okay, not the greatest solution, but it's going to do the job. Problem is I have to teach the client the easiest way to remember how to write the query.. i.e. 2010-08-05 00:00:00

Would be great if we could get this in drop down format.

thanks for being prompt

Search within CMSBuilder by Date Range

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:14:59 -0700

When someone makes a donation to my client's website, their donation information is inserted into a backoffice table in the CMS (most importantly, I have them sorted by 'createdDate' so I know when the most recent donation occurred and the time it occured). When I go to the CMS, I have set up the search to search by donation type, credit card, etc... however I need to be able to search by date range, or at least by month.. is this possible?

I think that should be fine
