Hi,

How do I go about upgrading the membership plugin so that users can log in email address or username?

Also im getting stuck in a loop with the login feature. Instead of taking to me to the page ive requested it gives me the "you are already logged in warning". Can I do somethign about this. I'm alsu using the simplecart code.

Thanks,

Ross.

CMS Installation - MBSTRING error

Tue, 04 Jun 2013 06:32:55 -0700

I have a new site that will be powered by CMSB.

Whilst installing I got the error about MBSTRING and safe_mode.

The customer contacted the ISP to have them make the necessary changes but they said they will not do this as the site is on a shared server.

We offered to host the site elsewhere but the customer is refusing so we have reached an impasse.

In order to get the CMSB installed I attempted to modify the /lib/init.php myself. I have commented out the following lines:

250 if (!extension_loaded('mbstring')) { $missingExtensions .= "This program requires the PHP 'mbstring' extension.
\n"; }

266 $inSafeMode = ini_get('safe_mode') && strtolower(ini_get('safe_mode')) != 'off';

267 if ($inSafeMode) { $errors .= "Please disable the 'safe_mode' setting in php.ini. (safe_mode has been removed from the latest PHP versions and it's use is highly discouraged by the authors of PHP - read more)
\n"; }

The CMSB is now installed and operational, but i'm worried that making these edits will effect the CMSB.

Can you please advise as this is now a matter of urgency.

Ross.

Great. Had to tweak it a little but it's working perfectly now. Thanks.

Update DB from out of the CMS

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:21:21 -0800

In my cms, I have a table (sc_orders) which has a checkbox field named "printed".

The contents of "sc_order" are shown in a list page and then a detail page for each record. And the value of printed is echoed on the list page. Basically to show if the detail page has been printed or not.

Is it possible to have a checkbox on the detail page, that when checked updates the value of "printed" in the DB?

This will then automatically be echoed in the list page.

I had thought this might be posible using mysql_update?

Re: [greg] Alternate preview / page link

Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:38:54 -0700

I actually want a link to be placed in the CMSB.

Similar to how there are modify and delete buttons, I would like a link to take them directly to the created page.

I know I can use preview, but I don't want the preview.php-99999 stuff. I want them taken to the actual page.

In the CMSB on the list page I have outputted the _link in one column but it just shows the tail. I want it to be the full link and to be clickable.

Alternate preview / page link

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 06:21:14 -0700

I have a list of pages (multi-record) and have the detail and preview pages information set accordingly.

Is there any possible way in the CMS, in the list view I could provide a direct link to the page? Opening in a new window/tab?

At the moment it shows the _link but it's not clickable.

Anyone else ever encounter this?

Multiple Categories

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:21:09 -0800

I have a site that has multiple categories.

I have the nav set to display in an unordered list.

On most pages (single & Multi) the 'categoryFormat' is working, showing both categories with onelevel.

But on either category pages both categories are showing as two level in the navigation.

Ideally on the specified page I want the appropriate nav(category) to show twolevel and the other nav(category) as just onelevel.

Essentially this is displays similar to a toggled menu from page to page.

Snippet of my Code ...

list($lta_practiceRecords, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'lta_practice',
'selectedCategoryNum' => '', // defaults to getNumberFromEndOfUrl()
'categoryFormat' => 'twolevel', // showall, onelevel, twolevel
'useSeoUrls' => true,
));

list($resourcesRecords, $selectedCategory2) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'resources',
'selectedCategoryNum' => '', // defaults to getNumberFromEndOfUrl()
'categoryFormat' => 'onelevel', // showall, onelevel, twolevel
'useSeoUrls' => true,
'limit' => '1',
));

It seems a problem having multiple categoryFormat with opposing values on one page?

Any help appreciated [crazy]

Re: [Jason] Linking and redirects

I suppose it's not so much a list of pages I want.

Scenario is... User is inputting text in the CMS, they would like some selected words to link to another page in the site. They highlight the selected wording and select insert/edit link... from there can they be offered the chance to browse the site to link to a page? Even if I have to specify what sections (table names) they are allowed to use.

Get options from database

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:01:04 -0800

I have a University site using CMSB.

In the CMS there are a list of courses, table named COURSES.

There is a separate table named VIDEOS that contains a name and an uploaded FLV "video_file".

In COURSES, I want to allow the CMS user to select an item from VIDEOS via a pull down list.

I can do this by selecting 'Get options from database (advanced)'. But i am only then given the name.

Ideally I would like to output the name, urlPath and thumbNail details of the relevant upload.

Can this be done?

Linking and redirects

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:30:15 -0800

Firstly please excuse my ignorance if I missing something plainly obvious, but I seem to be defeated.

In the CMS when a user adds a hyperlink, is there a way to provide them with a list of pages contained in the CMS? I had thought to maybe use related records?

Also, as I am updating an existing site that has been indexed by google i'd like to set up some 301 redirects. I can do this via an htaccess file. Will adding this to an htaccess on the top level cause any disturbance to the CMS?

Thanks.

Forum plug in

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:15:18 -0700

Is there a way to have a forum that is run/managed via CMSB? Or, does anyone know of a suitable 3rd party forum that would work well in conjunction with CMSB? Thanks, Ross.
