Re: [limbo] Where is my Databse

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:52:48 -0700

I can answer my own question. AND WHAT A SURPRISE!

The installation was done by the interactivetools.com people themselves.

I discovered everything was stored in a flatfile database in the cgi directory...

Where is my Databse

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:22:14 -0700

Been trying to figure out where I can find in all the scripts the information that tells me what the database name it is I am using. That is, all the data is being stored in a MySQL database.

Thing is, I do not know the name of the database. We have several hundred databases on our MySQL server. Please help.

I need to dump the data as a Back up as soon as possible.

Re: [Donna] Are comments and ratings supported?

Hi Donna,

Before we attempt to include a comments facility on our website can you inform us whether you have an example of the comments script you have installed - the one your priority consulting provides? Can we see what your script works like on a working site?

Hi,

I saw your example site. I wondered what sort of system you can implement where comments are NOT shown immediately on the page. That is, if somebody (and there always will be) puts some foul language in a comments page would it not be better to "vet" these comments before letting them go public?

Just wondering if you can have a system where the the comments are approved post their submission.

Hi Jake,

It did the trick...

Thanks.

Reproducing foreign characters in the caption field for images correctly

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 04:23:51 -0700

Hi,

I noticed a problem with the way text is reproduced by Article Manager in the part where we insert text for the captions of images we upload.

Look at the two snippets of code below. The first is the text as I type it into the "caption field" in the image editor for the article pages. The second is what it looks like when we see the produced article page.

Steep slopes squeeze houses in the fishing village of CÃ¢mara de Lobos and elsewhere on Madeira: with 865 people per square mile, the island is one of Europeâ€™s most densely populated regions.

What can be done to prevent this from happening?

Using forms in Article Manager (by using iframes)

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:13:56 -0700

Hi,

I thought I had found a solution to the problem of being able to have submittable forms right in there on article pages.

I would include an iframe like this in the source code:

https://madeira.wufoo.com/embed/quinta-das-vinhas-cottages-queries-and-contacts/" title="HTML Form">https://madeira.wufoo.com/forms/quinta-das-vinhas-cottages-queries-and-contacts/" title="Quinta das Vinhas Cottages - Queries and Contacts">Fill out my Wufoo form!
http://wufoo.com/">Powered by Wufoo

This is a nifty tool I use from www.wuffo.com

HOWEVER, here is my problem.

When I do include it into any article page (in the source code of the WYSIWYG editors) and when I press the "save" button to save my article the the AM script of the server just won't work - sending back to my browser the following message:

Not Found

The requested URL /cgi-bin/english/admin.cgi was not found on this server.

It is interesting to note tthat I get the same error when I try to save articles that are very long...

Re: [Jake] Tutorial: Creating Multiple Page Articles - using mulitple WYSIWYG editors

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:07:57 -0700

Hi,

I just discovered a problem with the multiple pages:

(THE CODE BELOW SHOWS THE "Email this article" and "Printer friendly page" links for each page)

Email this article

Printer friendly page

http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onClick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank">http://s5.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" />

The problem is this:

When we click on th elink to email this article to to have a printer friendly page it always reverts to the first page! That is, it sends the link for the first of the multiple page article. The same thing for "printer friendly" - it calls the first page of the multiple page article....

What you suggest we change in the code?

Re: [Dave] Please disable the 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting in php.ini or with .htaccess.

I have gone ahead and setup an account with DreamHost. Everything seems to be working fine.
Thank you.

Re: [Donna] Please disable the 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting in php.ini or with .htaccess.

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 19:15:12 -0800

This .htacess thing is driving me up the wall!!!!!

If I follow your instructions I still get the "Please disable the 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting in php.ini or with .htaccess" message despite having uploaded the .htaccess file to the cmsAdmin root folder. When I upload the attachment to the previous post I get a 500 internal error message.

It is always a mission to get the software working.

I am so frustrated. I'm on a phpsuexec server - is this a problem?

ALTERNATIVELY, if it is my hosting providers problem, why don't you just make all of our lives easier and RECOMMEND a shared hosting provider that cuts through all of this hassle?

I bought CMS Builder almost as soon as you had launched it. I only found a web host today that could do me MySQL 5.015 and PHP 5.2 minimum. What a mission. Then this problem with the "magic quotes" comes up. You didn't think of warning us to check with our hosting provider about this issue (of whether they allow php_flags in the .htaccess files) before we go and setup accounts with them. This has been such a waste of time, and in my case, a waste of money - I paid a years worth of hosting for an account that had MySQL 5.015 and PHP 5.2 minimum.

I don't know. But this is becoming one too many of several problems I have had lately with interactivetools.com software. I have bought I think 15 to 20 licenses from you already. I am getting frustrated.

Multiple languages in Article Manager 2

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 14:09:29 -0800

Hi,

Just wanted to pick your brains on this one.

I want to have three versions of the articles I write. The first would be in English, then the second in Portuguese and the third in German. I am thinking that the best way to manage all of this is to actually implement three separate installations of the same software on the same site. Except have each cgi-bin directory for each installation as /english or /portuguese and /german. And then each installation with its own publish directory of names (again) www.whatever.com/english or /portuguese or /german.

Is this idea too cumbersome? Is there an easier way? It seems to me a neat solution since, although I have written the article in English, I can wait for the German translator to do his bit through a different installation log-in and have him not interfere at all with the english installation.

What do you think?

Another question. Does this violate the software terms and conditions? That is, having three installations on the same domain?

Thanks for the reply. When I have the script installed and a gallery going I will come back here for some feedback.
