This isn't working for me. I actually had to change 'date' to 'item' due to a warning about 'date' being a reserved field name. 

The auto creation of the date string does work, but it doesn't seem to be acknowledging the field as a permalink. It just takes me to the 404 page. 

If you hover over one of the images here you'll see what I mean: https://affordablehomerenovations.com/projects. 

I have my detail page url set to /project-details.php. And when I use the link with the the query it works. 

But when I use this link it does not:

<a href="/<?php echo htmlencode($record['item']) ?>" target="_self">

What am I missing? 

Thanks.

Sound like maybe you have something in mind?

Hi. Was there a resolution to this? I'm actually having this same issue.

I've permalinks.php to be: 

$GLOBALS['PERMALINKS']['autopopulate_fromFields'] = array('num');

but I get "You must enter a value for 'permalink'!"

Is the issue that the record doesn't know what 'num' it is until it's saved? Is there a work around for this? We don't have titles for these records. It's really just a bunch of images in each record. 

I added this: 

// load records from 'art_categories'
list($art_categoriesRecords, $art_categoriesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'art_categories',
'where' => '`name` IN('.mysql_escapeCSV($artwork_imagesRecord['category:labels']).')',
'loadUploads' => false,
'allowSearch' => false,
));

To use this: 

<?php foreach ($art_categoriesRecords as $record): ?>
     <a href="/<?php echo htmlencode($record['permalink']) ?>" target="_self"><?php echo htmlencode($record['name']) ?> 
<?php endforeach ?></a>

Now, I just have one semi-related issue: 

The foreach outputs the array of "All, Paintings", for example. However, all of the artwork, whether drawings or print making, etc, is in the 'All category. How can I always skip the first key in this array so it never prints 'All'? 

Skipping the first item seems like it might be really simple, but I've tried using an array_slice and various if statements, but my novice self just can't figure it out. 

Thanks for any further guidance.

I have a multi record editor called Artwork. In it, I import a list of categories from another multi record using 'Get options from database'. The category records have a permalink. Everything there works fine and I have a sortable gallery with permalinks when the categories are sorted. Then, if you click on an image from Artwork, you get the detail page of that image. Pretty straight forward and common. 

My struggle is on the detail page, itself. Under the artwork image I list out the categories that artwork is in. I would like those categories to be clickable and then the user can get back to the list page and see all the artwork in the categories. However, I can't figure out how to import the category permalink to the artwork detail page in order to make it a link back to the category page.

Image attached for visual reference. 

Any advise is appreciated.

Is there a way to hide an editor field in the CMS Section  based upon it's level in the tree?

Specifically, I am creating a category menu to display service groups and the services within each group. 

1. "Accounting Services" will be level one and have an image. 

2. "Bookkeeping", "Budgeting", etc would be level 2 and not need an image. 

If need be, I'll just put a description above the upload field to let users know when to add an image and when not, but it would be a lot less confusing to them if the field was only there when they needed it. 

Thanks. 

I've replied to the original email.

Either solution is fine with me, but preferably it would upload correctly to start. 

Thanks

I did at one time have Interactive Tools create a plugin that added a Rotate button to the upload preview, but with Version 3 it doesn't work. Here are the errors: 

E_WARNING: include(): Failed opening 'lib/menus/default/uploadModify.php' for inclusion (include_path='/data/23/2/0/101/2652264/user/2911153/htdocs/BESnet/cms:/data/23/2/0/101/2652264/user/2911153/htdocs/BESnet/cms/3rdParty:.:/usr/share/php:/usr/services/vux/lib/php')

E_WARNING: include(lib/menus/default/uploadModify.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

E_WARNING: require_once(lib/menus/default/uploadForm_functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

(Of course www.domain.com contains the actual domain.)

I saw in the documentation "To fix replace START_TIME with $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT']" but I cannot find this line in any files.

Is there something in the custom plugin files I should change?

I can upload them here or send them to you if helpful. 

Thank you

I went and checked it all again, including permissions. No luck. 

It's odd. When I manually type in the locations of the image, it displays in the browser. But it won't display in the website when the html is generated via PHP. I'm pretty sure I have the uploads paths set correctly, as the should have been correct since they where correct before the restore of the website as a whole. (The entire site was reuploaded, CMS and all, due to an issue.) Essentially, the HTML that is being put into the image source code is losing the complete path, even though it is present in the general settings.  My "bandaid" was actually to add the missing HTML directly in the HTML file. No worries though, this site is about to undergo a complete rebuild on a different server. 

Honestly, more and more I'm thinking this  I am convinced it is a server side issue we are having. Unfortunately, it's hosted with a company that is down-right hostile when it comes to customer service, so I really can't get them to check anything for me. I suspect that somehow their server has changed the permissions on most of the website files during recovery... out of my scope of knowledge but they changed somehow while being restored... and the files have never been anywhere else but on there server. Something has changed and we just cannot figure out what. 

Anyway, thanks again for your help and we are going to live with our "band-aid" and move on to our new build and put this restore fiasco behind us. (Which I believe has nothing to do with Interactive Tools' CMS, it's a great product and I've done restores before with zero issue.)

Long story short, we had to restore a website from a back up.

It appears that everything is working well, except the uploads are not connecting correctly. 

It seems they are not using the path set in the General Settings tab of the CMS. 

When I open the image path (of the 'empty' image) in my browser the address is abc.com/image.jpg

The image path should be abc.com/folder/cmsadmin/uploads/image.jpg.

When trying to upload an image in the CMS, I get a warning about file permissions. 

All html and text sections of the CMS are populating just fine.

Any ideas what when wrong here?

<?php foreach ($events_listRecords as $record): ?>
  <a href="http://abc.com/title=<?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?>"><?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>

I can fix this by creating a new section called 'services_list', but I'd, obviously, like to not have a random section just to fix a buggy issue.

Anyone know where this is coming from and how I can get rid of it so I can deleted the unneeded editor?

Thanks,

Josh

Thanks for getting back to me.

Basically, what I would like to do is, in the CMS, have imported category menus arrange so they show the category levels in a logical manner as opposed to one indiscriminate checklist as shown in the attachment. The menu is limited to 2 level, so there is only one level of multiple category headings and an then multiple list items, in a sense. (Note: I am referring to the functionality in the CMS, not on the webpage.)

What I'd, ideally, like to happen is that the 1st level, or heading, show in bold - or - the 2nd level, or list items, become indented. This way, there is a clear, logical distinction in the CMS as to what is a heading or list item and easy for the client to understand the list.

I'm not sure if there is a simple way that I am overlooking or if it is a simple tweak or not. Either way, it's not that big of a deal, but I think it would be a little more clear for the client.

A screen shot of the CMS and webpage is attached. I've also attached a shot of the screen editor.

Thanks,

Josh

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Josh

I used the first set of code and it works excellent. This is exactly what I was trying to achieve and now that I see it it makes perfect sense. Thank you very much.

As far as your second set of code: I have not used the CMS's search feature before, but now that I understand that it can achieve this I will certainly look for it in the future. (For reasons of adjusting code that is related to the links on other pages and time, I'm not going to implement it in this site at this point.)

Happy Holidays and the Best for a New Year!
