That makes sense Jason, thanks for your help with this!

Re: [Jason] How do you change value of "nextPageLink"?

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:44:14 -0700

Yes Jason, it's working now, but I have another question though. I understand what you're saying about the format of the URL, which does makes sense why it would act that way with the URL in the format of "www.domain.com/blog/". But if I wanted to change the URL to "www.domain.com/blog/index.php, how do you suggest I do this? I don't see in the viewers where the URL is being specified. Maybe you're referring to the URL the page is naturally resolving to because of the directory structure, which then is what the "nextPageLink" gets appended to. I guess my bottom line question is really just wondering if the solution you added is the simplest and best solution?

Thanks!

Okay Jason, I just sent you that info via email.

Thanks!

Re: [Jason] How do you change value of "nextPageLink"?

Thanks for the post Jason! This is what I have in the .htaccess file...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.hostdomain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.hostdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]

It seems to me that if the "showme" php code returned some of the results listed below, that the extra "/" would be associated with the tag or some other setting and not a rewrite on the domain itself.

[prevPageLink] => /blog//page-/
[nextPageLink] => /blog//page-2/
[firstPageLink] => /blog//page-1/
[lastPageLink] => /blog//page-2/

I don't know if this sheds any new light on the subject. Any ideas?

Thanks!

How do you change value of "nextPageLink"?

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 16:53:22 -0700

I have a blog set up on a site under a directory named "blog" (domain.com/blog/). The index page for the blog is listing 5 posts at a time and then displaying page links to view the older posts. All is working fine with having the blog in it's own directory (e.g., the links to the individual posts are working fine), except for the page links to view the other page(s) of results.

...The code for the nextPageLink is: next >>
...It is returning this link: /blog//page-2/

How do I change the value of "nextPageLink" so I can remove the extra forward slash?

Thanks! -Brian

Re: [isdoo] Section Editor Drag Sort Order (product sort)

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:03:22 -0700

Thank you for the help. I followed your instructions and it worked fine. The only thing I didn't expect was that I had to specify in the viewer code that the orderBy array be changed from null to dragSortOrder. The documentation for CMS Builder on interactivetools.com said that it would default to this if nothing was specified. But hey, at least I got it to work.

Thanks again!

Section Editor Drag Sort Order (product sort)

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:59:56 -0700

Hello,

I thought newer versions of CMSB had a new drag sort feature in the section editor that could also affect the sort order of the viewer (listings page on the website).

I just upgraded a client recently to v1.24 and have not found this feature. Maybe I misunderstood. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Brian

Re: [Dave] Notice: Announce your new CMS Builder websites here!

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:49:18 -0800

Here is another CMS Builder site we just finished for Montana Territorial Land Company in West Yellowstone. We needed a CMS that would handle their real estate listings - with the ability to add and customize fields for the many details of a home or property, plus basic pages with content, and a listings site search.

CMS Builder allowed us to build a site that is dynamic in nature (MySQL database, instant publishing) but is also search engine friendly. Compared to their old site, our client loves the CMS Builder user friendly site editor features. This has been a huge improvement for site administration and usability, and the flexibility in adding future enhancements to the site.

Thanks Interactivetools for your help with the design elements and tweaking the code a little to make things work like a charm (ummmm... Damon!). [;)]

Regards,
Brian

Re: [Dave] Copying sections from one site to another

Copying sections from one site to another

Thu, 22 May 2008 18:10:37 -0700

Can you give me any tips or best practices on copying sections from one site to another?

I have one site with CMS Builder where I pretty much have the sections customized the way I like them. I have a new site I am developing and I want to use the same sections and features from the other site. Can I simply copy the section files in /data/schema/ or /data/schemaPresets/? I know I can do it but I wonder if there are any cons to doing this or if I will run into any problems if the two sites are running different versions of CMSB, etc. ??

Thanks,
Brian

Re: [Dave] How to modify image file/location?

Fri, 16 May 2008 16:41:46 -0700

Yea, I like the global image repository idea. I have used other CMS/shopping cart software (ie: ShopSite) that uses this function.

For #2 I would probably just change it on some but the option to change it for all, with a global setting that allows you to override individual/custom upload paths to the global path, would be nice.

Re: [Dave] Notice: Roadmap & Feature Requests (post feature requests here)

Fri, 16 May 2008 13:45:19 -0700

It would be very helpful if there was a feature for multipage sections that allow you to update the same field for many records (a global update feature).

Also, while editing one record, to have the option to click on a link or button to edit the next record in the list without having to go back to the list of records. This would come in handy when doing many updates to a number of records in a row. Simply click "Save -> Go to Next Record" or something like that.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: [Dave] How to modify image file/location?

Fri, 16 May 2008 13:15:28 -0700

Here's a couple of scenarios:

1) If two records share the same image, or I already had the image uploaded for some reason, why couldn't I just point the second record image (enter the image path) to use the image already uploaded for the first record. Instead like it is now it creates a duplicate of the same image and then adds _001 at the end. I know this may not be common but why not reuse same image instead of having duplicates?

2) I moved some "other" images to a different directory because they made more sense to be separate from the main images. Because of this I would like to simply go in and update those records affected and enter the new path, from /uploads/images/main/ to /uploads/images/other/.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks,
Brian

How to modify image file/location?

Fri, 16 May 2008 12:31:46 -0700

Is there a way to modify an existing image upload to point to a new file or location? Or is this only possible in removing image and then reuploading? If this is the case then I would like to make a feature request to add a field for editing/entering in a new file/location.

Thanks,

Phew, that finally did it!

Thanks Dave!

Hey, what do you think about the other IF/THEN statement issue regarding the display of the "Sorry, No Image" image when main product image not uploaded? Any ideas? Refer to same viewer in the include file I attached earlier.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: [Dave] IF image THEN ...

Fri, 02 May 2008 16:43:56 -0700

Dave, that worked to remove the text when other images are not uploaded but now I get an error when there are other images uploaded, as with this page: http://www.owenequipmentsales.com/product.php/14-23/

Notice: Undefined variable: images in /.../public_html/include-ProductRecordInsert.php on line 47

See the include file attached which contains the viewer code.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: [Dave] IF image THEN ...

Fri, 02 May 2008 16:15:12 -0700

Dave, I tried your suggestions but it did not work.

If you take a look at www.owenequipmentsales.com/product.php/1-1/

you will see that the text "Click on small photos to enlarge" appears below the main product image, but there are no small photos featured. I need an IF/THEN statement that will detect when no small photos are uploaded and then NOT display the text. So only display the text when small photos are uploaded.

Let's take care of this one first and then I will address the other IF/THEN statement issue regarding the display of the "Sorry, No Image" image when main product image not uploaded.

I appreciate your help with this!

Thanks,
Brian

Re: [Dave] IF image THEN ...

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:47:35 -0700

Also, I am looking for a way to return an image and not just text, except the image is not uploaded via CMS Builder. I am trying to display a "Sorry, No Image" image when there is not an image uploaded to represent the product. Here is what I have:

" width="75" height="75" alt="inset photo" />

It doesn't work the way I have it currently.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: [Dave] IF image THEN ...

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:43:14 -0700

Okay, this is kind of what I'm looking for, except I need more fine tuning...

What do I put if I don't want to include the text for each image. So for example, I only want this line,

Click to view larger image
to be added once.

Here is what I am working with now, which returns up to four lines if I have all four images uploaded:

" width="" height="" alt="" title="" />

Click on small photos to enlarge

Thanks,
Brian

IF image THEN ...

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:48:42 -0700

How do I display some text ONLY if an image is uploaded/present?

Example:

IF

THEN

Click to view larger image

Page Viewer Tag for Product URL

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:20:06 -0700

I am looking for a tag that will return the URL for a product listing. The tag "" or "" does not work.

I am guessing it's because these are tags associated with a List Viewer rather than a Page Viewer. Any options for a Page Viewer?

Thanks,

Syntax Help (more than one criteria in $options['where'] line)

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:15:10 -0700

I can't get this to work. I want to be able to assign articles to more than one topic or section. To do this I have 3 drop down lists that allow me to choose which default topic or other additional topics the article will appear. So far I am doing it this way and have tried both versions:

$options['where'] = 'default_topic = "Grilling Tips"'; 'other_topic1 = "Grilling Tips"'; 'other_topic2 = "Grilling Tips"';

$options['where'] = "default_topic = 'Grilling Tips'"; "other_topic1 = 'Grilling Tips'"; "other_topic2 = 'Grilling Tips'";

The article shows up when the "default_topic" drop down is selected but not when I choose the "other_topic1" or "other_topic2" drop down selection for the article. So, unless the article is assigned to the "default_topic" selection, it does not show up.

Any ideas? I have tried other syntax, like separating the options with a comma or other ways but always get a syntax error.

Thanks,
Brian
