cms builder - editing error .. sometimes only

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 12:48:56 -0800

Was at a client's today and tried to make some changes to specific records/pages on their site as a part of their training.... first change went just fine, second change (and all thereafter) the changes didn't take/show up when pressing the Save button. Then I tried from my computer at home and the first time I tried to make a change it didn't work again, yet I tried again and I DID work.

Any ideas of what might be going on here?

two client issues using CMS

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:41:29 -0700

Hello. I have a client who is having 2 recurring issues over and over.

1) she is having trouble uploading images, and I am not when I try. I said it was her internet connection perhaps. Any other ideas?

2) from her: > I am still fighting with text. I went to Microsoft word like you told me. Typed in what I wanted, pasted it into the editor and it came up another color, font and misaligned. When I tweaked it to get it where I wanted it and saved it, it comes up on the actual site in a
much smaller font and misaligned.

Any ideas or some kind of "help doc" I can send her to assist. She does keep asking for a "help document".

Thanks in advance. Mike

image upload problem - browse is not responding

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 09:22:09 -0700

Hello,

I am having NO issue with this from my computer, but for some reason my client is having a problem with the "browse" button not responding when she is trying to upload an image. I would assume this is something with her connection and/or computer but I would love to have some type of "educated" response to give her and the possibility to remotely help her with this issue.

She is using IE.
She has no issues making changes in the editor to text.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Mike

That did it! The code needed a good cleaning.

Thanks!

Dave, my apologies! I should have checked a few things before posting, I know better than that! I forgot to replace the universal char set to:

... on those pages.

I do have one more issue, the "name" is showing is a smaller font on the details page, and I'm using the exact same code/styles as I simply duplicated the pages and replaced the records. The other pages "detail page" all show the correct font size.

Dave, she is using IE, I am using firefox. Yes it happens for me as well, whenever I hit the space button twice. Like at the end of a period, and the space, space, start a new sentence.

Dave, why does my client get an "A" type of symbol when typing directly in the wysiwyg editor? It happens when they space, and hit return. Then I have to go in an select the html button and clear the "A" symbols for them.

Any ideas?

That certainly helped. I had to include the image records in the table as well; and added a bit to the cellpadding so it appeared to "column" the images so they didn't have to be the same width (which is a good idea since most clients who need to use a CMS will take some photos portrait and some landscape).

Thanks!

Re: [Dave] Products pages - "list" page results setup horizontally

Hello again Dave,

Yes I would like the list page to list 3 products (and then wrap to the second row, etc.) and when you click on the product it will go to the details page for that product.

All total I will duplicate this (with different record names) for a total of 6 different pages (product menu choices on the website).

One of your Featured Clients has something VERY similar.. but I only want 3 across then wrap down to the second row, then third (if needed) etc. and if possible be able to display the name of the product as well. The page I'm referring to on your client's website is: http://www.berryfit.com/Jackets.php

Thanks again for your support... Mike

Products pages - "list" page results setup horizontally

Fri, 23 May 2008 09:12:22 -0700

Hello, this is for Products and how the "list page" shows each product on the page. Currently, the products stack on top of each other while going down the page. My question is:

Can the "list page" results show up on the page 3 or 4 thumbnail images wide (horizontally) with rows going down the page depending upon how many products for that group? Basically I will strip all the records on the list page I don't want to show up, except for the Image and Link (to the details page).

Is this possible? Thanks, Mike

Perfect! Thanks again!!

Thanks, that helped. How about being able to click on the image and have a larger pic pop up? I see where it says thumbnails and larger images when setting up the products but I must be doing something wrong as it's not showing a thumbnail and then a larger image on the site.

Creating a Product page like in Listings Manager using CMS

Thu, 22 May 2008 09:12:03 -0700

Hello, I have integrated the CMS builder for my new client and all is working well! One last item, I would like to have their Product Pages look and work like Listings Manager has their pages look. Example: here is where we used Listings Manager for one of my other clients:

http://scandinavianinteriors.net/living.shtml

My client likes how the products are all thumbnails w/ brief descriptions and then by "clicking" on the item more details and photos appear in a new window.

Can I create a product page like this using CMS Builder too?

LIKE A CHARM!

I think this should be the first (and certainly the easiest) check for anyone having the same problem.

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response Dave,

Actually your earlier post of: Microsft and International character sets display properly. To do this use the xml standard:

I thought you meant change the php code I inserted only, but when I did this to the top of the page all is well.

Thanks!

My client does the paste with word just fine, but when she goes in and "edit's" a word or two directly in the CMS editor the text outputted to the website is not the same "font/style" as the rest of the text.

Is there an easier way around this versus copying the entire text from the editor, pasting back into Word, making the change(s), copying all again, going back to the editor again, re-pasting all the text in again, saving, and hoping there isn't any weird characters showing up that will need to be found in the editor (always invisible in the editor)?

Seems like too many steps must be done just to make a simple change to one or two words.
