NEWS- display first 50 words, how?

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 04:35:56 -0700

Hi there,

I was wondering if it's possible for me to generate a form which will show only first 50 words of a news entry (no images if any are included in the main article) as well as a link which basically says "find out more" and takes me to the main news section... This is the code which i currently have on my home page:

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($home_pageRecords, $home_pageMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'home_page',
'where' => 'num=1',
'limit' => '1',
));
$home_pageRecord = @$home_pageRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$home_pageRecord) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

?>

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($newsRecords, $newsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'news',
'where' => 'num=5',
'limit' => '1',
));
$newsRecord = @$newsRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$newsRecord) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

?>

No record found!

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($home_pageRecords, $home_pageMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'home_page',
'where' => 'num=2',
'limit' => '1',
));
$home_pageRecord = @$home_pageRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$home_pageRecord) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

?>

many thanks for all the help!

have a look at this:

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($image_upload2Records, $image_upload2MetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'image_upload2',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$image_upload2Record = @$image_upload2Records[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$image_upload2Record) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

Hmmm... What I am trying to do is to display just one record, in this case "Featured Video", but it only shows the "Welcome" entry... If I however set to show the record at random they do mix... this is the code (viewer type: detailed page, which record: load record number..., record sorting: default):

// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($home_pageRecords, $home_pageMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'home_page',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$home_pageRecord = @$home_pageRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$home_pageRecord) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

IMAGES won't display in CMS

Fri, 22 Oct 2010 06:58:21 -0700

I am having a weird problem... Images I upload do not display (thumbnails and big ones) in cms, however they are being visable on the actual php page when uploaded? could anyone tell me why is that the case? I did change the Upload Folder URL settings as the pictures wouldnt appear on the site (even thought they were displayed in the CMS), but that made it complete the opposite...

Please see what i have done below:

1. Images (thumbnails and big ones) work in cms after being uploaded but dont work on the website:
Program Directory : /homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/cmsAdmin (didnt change)
Website Root Directory : /kunden/homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola (didnt change)
Upload Directory : /homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/cmsAdmin/uploads/ (didnt change)
Upload Folder URL: /homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/cmsAdmin/uploads/ (didnt change)

2. Images (thumbnails and big ones) DO NOT work in cms after being uploaded but WORK on the website:
Program Directory : /homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/cmsAdmin (didnt change)
Website Root Directory : /kunden/homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola (didnt change)
Upload Directory : /homepages/45/d281998588/htdocs/casaroccapiccola/cmsAdmin/uploads/ (didnt change)
Upload Folder URL: /cmsAdmin/uploads/ (deleted everything before /cmsAdmin/)

Anyoe knows what's happening?

Thanks,

Displaying single record

Fri, 22 Oct 2010 04:17:17 -0700

Hi there!

I am having a serious problem with show details of a single record from a category I have set up...

So here it is:
Main category: HOME PAGE
Sub Categories: Welcome , Featured Video

How can I display just a single record? Let's say I would like to display just the "featured video". I have managed to display them (Welcome and Featured Video) at random but for some reason when i try to add the "Where" clause, it all goes bazookas! :-S

HEEELP!

ALL IMAGES ARE GONE!!! HEEEEELP!

thanks!
m

...small update: i have changed the image url, in cms, from lets say "cmsAdmin/uploads/radnom.png" and added "http://www.casaroccapiccola.com/", so that the image url n cms now says "http://www.casaroccapiccola.com/cmsAdmin/uploads/random.png" and it works... so it must be something in the settings :-S help please? what would i have to do so that if i upload an image in cms it appears on the site and that i dont have to manually enter the link :-S
