Found the issue. It was not CMSB-related.

I am seeing an error in the login functions for the membership forum. now sure what has happened here?

Update to CMSB v. 8 from 3.56

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:29:32 -0700

You need to go to PHP 8.3 at a minimum, as 8.1 and 8.2 are obsolete. You'd better bite the bullet now.

This fix works for me, too. Thanks Dave.

The error does not prevent the image from being added, it is annoying but not fatal. I have been adding images, just close the error message and continue.

No argument here, Dave and his crew have been great. Almost 20 years for me too. I also have lost clients to wordpress and had them come back a year later.

editor feature request

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 20:11:10 -0800

A couple of years ago i suggested extending the input types for textfield, by adding email, url etc. The big win would be html date which replaces the 3 field date picker with builtin browser handler.

It would be nice if we could sort by all the columns.

Hey codee,

Never even occurred to me. But works fine, thanks.

Sometimes you stare at it and shug, sometimes it hits you over the head...

PermaLinks conflict

It doesn't need to be quite so specific, this will do it nicely:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

personally I set my htaccess rules to enforce the trailing slash, much cleaner in the long run as that is what the permalinks expects, still solves the seo noise

BUG: tinymce field can't use media library image CMSB 3.82

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 12:09:21 -0800

I am still getting an error, even though the image from the media library is being added. I did a bit of triage and traced it to the cmsb/lib/menus/default/wysiwygMedia.php at line 119

       try {
          const response = await fetch('?', {
            method: 'POST',
            body: formData
          });
          const msg = await response.text();
          if (msg) {
            return alert("Error: " + msg);
          }

          // refresh upload iframe and close modal in parent window
          const parentWindow = self.parent;
          const uploadIframe = parentWindow.document.getElementById(fieldName + '_iframe');
          uploadIframe.contentDocument.location.reload();
          parentWindow.hideModal();
        } catch {
          alert("1. There was an error adding media!"); 
        }

There were two locations with the same error message, 'There was an error adding media!', so I added the '1' to determine which one was being thrown. There is noting in the logs to indicate why the error is thrown.

BUG: tinymce field can't use media library image CMSB 3.82

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 07:20:14 -0800

I was trying to use an image from the media library in the wysiwyg editor. This was previously allowed.

In the cmsb/lib/media_functions.php I discovered these lines of code:

    // Validate upload field exists and user has access
    $fieldName         = request('fieldName');
    $uploadFields      = Schema::fields($GLOBALS['tableName'], 'upload');
    $uploadFieldSchema = $uploadFields[$fieldName] ?? null;
    match (true) {
        empty($uploadFieldSchema)               => die("Invalid upload field: $fieldName"),
        !userHasFieldAccess($uploadFieldSchema) => die("No access to field: $fieldName"),
        default                                 => null,
    };

This issue is that the tinymce field is not type upload but mediumtext.

I filed your first issue on GitHub. Update button still showing after update.

This was a feature request of mine a couple of months ago, Once all the plugs are exposed on github, being able to pull the latest version with auto-update would bring CMSB in line with other solutions.

You really came through with this and I appreciate your work. If I can help in any way, feel free to reach out.

getrecords() docblock says one thing, function does something else

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 18:11:34 -0800

Good to know. I had AI doing a code review of my code and it flagged that the function returned 3 values, but I was only using 2. I will add it to my agents.md file that only 2 are used and the 3rd is CMSB internal use. That will stop the warmings.

getrecords() docblock says one thing, function does something else

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 16:48:22 -0800

It appears that along the way, the getrecords function changed from a 2-value return to a 3-value return; a schema array is now added to the final output. The docblock shows only 2.

My AI agents are flagging this inconsistency. How is the schema to be used?

/* list($records, $details) = getRecords(array( ... */
function getRecords($options): ?array { 
    ...
    return array($rows, $listDetails, $schema);
}

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:21:19 -0800

I updated an old install of CMSB 3.67 to 3.82 beta 3 and got this error:

MySQL Error(1054): Error writing to error database: Unknown column 'debug_data' in 'INSERT INTO'

Might be a red herring as I had not copied the error schema from the downloaded code.

CMSB 3.81 menu groups BUG?

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 15:48:14 -0800

They were created in 3.81. I deleted the old one usine the database editor. Confirmed the database record was removed and the file deleted. i then recreated the menugroup. Checked the dtatabase, new record created. Checked the file and no menuOrder. dragged it into position and the menuOrder was added to the schema.pho file.

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 12:43:23 -0800

I was recreating my menugroups as some had very old extraneous fields. I notice that the new menugroup had an extra entry for menuOrder. I thought that menuOrder was no longer required. These were recreated in CMSB 3.81

 ' App Settings ',
  '_tableName' => 'app_settings_menugroup',
  '_primaryKey' => 'num',
  'menuType' => 'menugroup',
  'listPageFields' => '',

I have used access control quite a bit, when set to view or author, you have quite a bit of fine grained control over what they can view/edit. authorbcan only edit records they created.
