When I try to drag the new cmsb folder into my old directory, I get only stop and replace option. Replace removes all the old files and re-writes the directories like it is a new install. So, I tried to copy/paste into the folder which gives me a merge option... but since I just pulled these old site files down via FTP to my machine, the 'old' files are actually newer than the upgrade files from June.

Any thoughts on this? Do I have to FTP the cmsb upgrade files up to the production site to upgrade? I have made backups of everything, but yikes, it would be better for me to upgrade locally to make sure all works with PHP 8.2 before pushing to prod.

Just wondering if you all have had this issue when upgrading on a mac dev machine and possibly used some other method to upgrade CMSB on a mac using MAMP.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for that. Yes, I can recreate it with Chrome Version 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit) on a Mac.

One of the fields that is giving me trouble in an editor page is a field named youtube_id. I created a textfield named 'YouTube ID'. I use it to store a video ID, but I guess it seems to match up with maybe the youtube login page as well and Chrome tries to prepopulate it with an email address.

If you need more details, I can email you all screen caps.

Thanks again.

[edit] - make sure you store your CMSB admin login info when signing in to CMSB. It actually seems to try to copy over the admin 'username' into that editor field. At least on my machines.

Yes. I am getting issues *inside* the CMS admin pages. Chrome is holding onto auto-complete on certain fields and pre-populating them. It is messing up my clients. They don't want to have to go and turn off autocomplete.

It would be great to be able to create a plugin that adds the autocomplete="off" attribute to EVERY input/select/etc in the CMSB backend. 

I may look into that, but I was assuming 'Disable Autocomplete' would do that based on the information next to the checkbox in General Settings.

Thanks for your input.

Is there some other setting that I need to set?

Thank you!

Anyone?

mysqli_real_escape_string( $link, $_POST['some_info'])
I have searched the forum and found info on the old mysql_real_escape_string() function, but would like to use the newer function since you all went through the trouble to update CMSBuilder to user MySQLi.

Thanks for any info.

I searched the forum for multi lingual and found two entries. One from 2009 and one from 2011. They are about creating multiple viewer pages and alot of extra PHP work. While I am not against that, I was wondering if anyone has come up with a better way or a plugin. I have a multi-lingual project that I am bidding and really want to use CMS Builder... but also want to use the right tool for the right job.

Thanks for any info

RIGHT WAY

<?php /* This is a PHP data file */ if (!@$LOADSTRUCT) { die("This is not a program file."); }

WRONG WAY

<?php /* This is a PHP data file */
if (!@$LOADSTRUCT) {
    die("This is not a program file.");
}

If you have this issue, just put the if structure all on one line. Somehow uploading it to the host moved it to multiple lines and probably added a weird character in it.

Thanks to Damon for not laughing at me when we found this. Great support as always!!!!

loadINI: syntax error, unexpected '(' in /webroot/cmsroot//data/settings.dat.php on line 2 


The line is:

<?php /* This is a PHP data file */
if (!@$LOADSTRUCT) {
    die("This is not a program file.");
}
return array(
    'activePlugins' => 'saveAndCopy/saveAndCopy.php',
.
.
.


It seems to be unhappy about the array having the parenthesis. My host is not very cooperative and I can't find anything to set in PHP. Any ideas?

Thanks for any info.
