          <description><![CDATA[Dave, is it the fact that in your script you have made allowances for a 128MB limit that my hosting company is seeing this?   <br /><br /> They added this code to the top of the init.php file... <br /><br />&lt;?php<br />ini_set('memory_limit','32M'); <br /><br />If I added the memory limit of 32MB to future CMS Builder instals for this hosting server would this mean they wouldn't be alerted to a memory increase? <br /><br />Rod<br />]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Hello again, <br /><br />I have just had another CMS Builder memory usage warning from my hosting company on my own website not my client's site this time.

No image uploads but quite a few page refreshes to see changes. <br /><br />My question really is now. Do I need to find another host that allows more memory? Does US hosting offer more on shared hosting? <br /><br />Cheers - Rod <br /><br />============================================================================ <br /><br />Dear Client, <br /><br />This is a courtesy notice from Hostingbay.com.au regarding your account [fasttrackwebsites.com.au]. <br /><br />HostingBay is receiving below notifications in reference to the following PHP script.

          <description><![CDATA[The concept of &quot;Instant Website&quot; is fantastic and opens up a whole new ball game for building company websites. I am in the process of clenching a major company contract to build websites for their subsidiaries over the entire country. <br /><br />I was intending to build my own templates but now along comes &quot;Instant Website&quot; add on. <br /><br />I detest the exclamation &quot;WOW&quot; but I have to use it now. &quot;Wow&quot;, what an extremely effective and professional way to build a website for those who have little or no web skills but require a professional well constructed website. You have done it with this project. <br /><br />But there is a problem that you may like to consider. For my prospective clients a major concern would be the design colour (styles) aesthetics. <br /><br />In &lt;Layout &amp; Design&lt;&gt;Website style&gt; the 5 style options are not usable for most company or business websites. For this reason alone I cannot use Instant Website template just yet. <br /><br />But if you had several plain colour options ranging from Black down through the greys and up through the main colours you then have a truly professional product that will be ideal for hundreds of instant websites for small business. Your present choice of styles is a little design unfriendly. <br /><br />If you can see your way clear to add plain style colours or the ability to make colour changes I can see you selling a lot more CMS Builder scripts. <br /><br />Regards - Rod<br />]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Hello folks, <br /><br />I have just finished setting up CMS Builder 2.4 on my client’s website. Working brilliantly! I bought and installed Auto Backup, which has to be a mandatory plugin. This too works perfectly, emailing weekly backups to my client's nominated email address. <br /><br /><b>Problem:</b> <br /><br />I want my client/s to be able to restore a backup if needed but without entering the &lt;Admin&lt;&gt;General Settings&gt; and scrolling down the settings page to make a restore. Admin area out of bounds, as too much can go wrong if a setting is altered, even inadvertently. <br /><br />Possible Solution: <br /><br />Why not make it that a backup can be restored from a separate page, where only the details of the backing up and restoring process is shown? <br /><br />Provide the ability to check a box &quot;auto backup&quot; for any nominated User account, giving this account the ability to restore backups. <br /><br />I think this is very important to prevent Admin indiscretions and consequently the CMS failing or even making changes to the Program name or advanced settings. <br /><br />Would this be difficult to implement into CMS Builder? <br /><br />Rod]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Hello everyone, <br /><br />Last Thursday I bought CMS Builder (Demo) but I cannot get cmsAdmin/admin.php to run. The website is found and after a couple of minutes a blank page appears. Permissions are set correctly triple checked. <br /><br />Anyone have any ideas to why this would happen? My host has everything installed.  <br /><br />Thanks - Rod <br /><br />(I have submitted a free support ticket but not heard anything yet) <p style="text-align:left">[url &quot;http://www.fasttrackwebsites.com.au/cmsAdmin/admin.php&quot;]<u>[font &quot;Verdana&quot;]<span style="color: #0000ff">[font &quot;Verdana&quot;]<span style="color: #0000ff"></u>[/#0000ff]</span>[/#0000ff]</span>[/url] </p>]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Hi Studio-a, <br /><br />You provide very good feedback and encouragement. I do own a copy of CMS Builder 1.27 for a private project and Dave did some customization for me.  <br /><br />But events have changed with so many of my clients wanting specific website features. In the past I have used umpteen scripts to make their websites just right, an awful lot of work for the return. But I do see now, after reading many posts, how CMS Builder will make my client's websites so much easier to build.  <br /><br />I am working literally 16 hours a day to revamp my business and to head in a different direction. All is going well. <br /><br />And yes the support here is second to none. I belong to many forums and the only one other that offers the same level of support as here is where I buy most of my scripts. <br /><br />Cheers - Rod<br />]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Okay, thanks Dave, I had better get cracking!  <br /><br />I just have to make a few more tests in creating templates, without too much css knowledge or designer skills, which I think I have accomplished. If this system works I will open a new thread in case others are interested. <br /><br />Rod]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Have the features suggested by studio-a been implemented or in part? I am working on a contract to build multiple websites for a nation wide company and wish to use CMS Builder, but the Admin panel has to be well out of harms way of users.  <br /><br />Rod<br />]]></description>
