stopping infinite scroll

Thanks Damon! I wrapped my entire code displaying the CMS records inside your code, but changed it to >= instead of <, and it worked.

stopping infinite scroll

Mon, 06 Jun 2016 12:26:50 -0700

I'm loading records using the infinite scroll jquery plugin. It automatically increments the page= at the end of the URL until it gets a 404. However, cms builder returns the last available page of records not matter how high the page number is. As a result, the last set of records loads over and over. Is there any way to force a 404 instead? Or, has anyone come up with another workaround? thanks, Jason

Create PDF requirements

Greg, thank you. The host I was hoping to use is dreamhost, in a share server environment. I sent them the info you provided, and here was their response:

---

Looking at our server installation these are the packages I see as
installed.

ii libxext6                            2:1.1.2-1
               X11 miscellaneous extension library
ii fontconfig                            2.8.0-2.1
               generic font configuration library - support
binaries
ii libcompress-zlib-perl                    2.024-1
               Transitional dummy package for Compress::Zlib
ii zlib1g
1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3             compression library - runtime

Unfortunately these libraries are not installed:

openssl-devel.i386
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1
msttcorefonts
liberation-fonts
liberation-fonts-common
liberation-sans-fonts
liberation-mono-fonts
liberation-serif-fonts

This packages would need to be installed manually within your user
directory or you could upgrade to a VPS where you could install these
packages on your server itself.

Does this sound like something that would work (installing manually within user directory of shared server), or do you think I'll spend forever trying to get this to work and it never quite will...? Also, how much of a server ninja would I need to be to install this stuff? I'm generally pretty capable, but this is new territory for me.

thanks!

Sure I can help you with this.

I'm trying to convince my web host to install the fontconfig libraries needed to support Create PDF. They have asked for more info. Can anyone help with answering the following:

"Can you tell me which fontconfig libraries/files you would like installed? If you can also provide details on what you want fontconfig to be able to do it would be helpful in determining which files need to be installed."

thanks...

Re: [Jason] comments w/membership login redirect

Sat, 14 Jul 2012 22:11:30 -0700

I tried that change. Here is what happened:

(1) Go to page with user comments when not logged in. Click login in order to comment.
(2) Taken to user-login page.
(3) Submit username and password.
(4) User login page now says "You are already logged in. Click here to continue, or Logoff." (This seems a little odd... I was hoping for an immediate redirect back to the original page.)
(5) Clicking on "click here to continue" now doesn't take me anywhere. (Before removing the slash it would take me to the root.

thanks!

comments w/membership login redirect

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:45:47 -0700

I've set up comments and membership. (The only way to sign up or sign in is via comments on a page.) If the user signs in to comment, they are not being returned to the page they were previously on. For the most part, everything is still in its default demo settings.

It looks like this problem was discussed in post 89950, but it's unclear if there was a solution.

comment moderation

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:59:37 -0700

From reading the description of the comment plugin, it sounds like it's not possible to moderate/approve posts before they are posted. But it there a way for the moderator to remove comments if necessary?

thanks!

Re: [Tom P] change output of wysiwyg underline

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:21:57 -0700

Thanks Tom. Didn't seem to work but generalizing it as follows seemed to do the trick:

.underline { 
  text-decoration:underline; 
}

Re: [Tom P] change output of wysiwyg underline

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:42:42 -0700

Tom,

Thanks so much for looking in that. The solution works perfectly, with one exception. While the actual site output is now great, the display within the WYSIWYG editor no longer shows the text as being underlined. It is underlined (i.e., if I put my cursor on it the u button highlights) but it's no longer showing that way in the editor. Any thoughts? Otherwise, this solution is perfect.

thanks!

Re: [zip222] change output of wysiwyg underline

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:17:17 -0700

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately I do need that button. I'll be removing almost every button, however italic and underline are something I need to offer on this site. Italic just throws up an tag, which is great. I wish underline could just just an old-fashioned tag, which I doubt will stop working anytime soon.

change output of wysiwyg underline

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 20:31:12 -0700
Is there any way to change what the underline option in the wysiwyg editor does? Currently, it adds an inline text-decoration style, but that is overriding any other styles I have set.

Elsewhere in the forums I see how to customize the style of elements such as anchors or headings, however since this is an inline style and not an element I'm not sure how to change this.

If it's not possible to do up-front, can I adjust the inline style on the fly using php?

thank you!

Re: [Jason] rss for updated version

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 13:26:16 -0800
Sure (I realize it's impractical to try to discuss w/o a real example)...

Feed is here: http://www.leonardbernstein.com/news_rss.php

Here is what's happening. I am using the same php code I've been using for a couple of years. But, in December I upgraded to a more recent version of cms builder, jumping over several versions.

The php still works. However, when viewed in an RSS reader that supports such things (e.g., Thunderbird) for all postings prior to the upgrade, you see an HTML page showing the news in the page template that the cms uses. However, for all postings after the upgrade, you only see plain text of the posting. No template, no HTML at all.

Does that make sense?

I am having a hard time finding a difference in the RSS feed from before and after Dec 17, so I wonder if it has something to do with how the info is stored in the DB by the old and new versions?

thanks for looking!

rss for updated version

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:34:59 -0800
Hi,

I've recently updated a site from a very old version of CMS builder to something current. One of the things it has is an RSS feed. Without changing the php code for the feel, it still works, however with one issue: all postings prior to when I upgraded shows the full destination page in the visual rss reader, however postings since then only show the text as plain text, and not within any page template. I'm not sure whether my code needs to change or it has to do with the admin input method changing, if that makes sense. The php file looks like this:

require_once "cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php"; $options = array(); $options['tableName'] = 'news_001'; $options['titleField'] = 'title'; $options['viewerUrl'] = 'http://www.redacted.com/news_detail.php'; $options['perPage'] = '1000'; $options['orderBy'] = 'date DESC, title'; $options['pageNum'] = '1'; list($listRows, $listDetails) = getListRows($options); echo "\n"; ?> redacted http://www.redacted.com The Official Website of redacted en-us <?php echo htmlspecialchars($record['title']) ?>

I've removed the name of the site to give my client some privacy, but I can communicate that info if needed.

Re: [chris] New Install Error - GoDaddy

Fri, 17 Dec 2010 16:46:46 -0800
Chris,

My apologies. I should have posted again to let you know I managed after a few tried to convince the host enable mbstring.

Re: [zip222] New Install Error - GoDaddy

Thu, 16 Dec 2010 14:09:05 -0800
Has anyone found a solution? I've also just discovered a host that won't allow mbstring and it's preventing me from upgrading.

Do you know what the latest CMS builder version is that DOESN'T require mbstring?

bulk data entry/edit

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:00:49 -0700
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere... I looked but didn't find it.

Is there a way to set up a bulk entry/edit of content for a section editor that will have many records. Something like a google spreadsheet or equivalent, where all the data for all records can be viewed and edited at once?

thanks...

Date display format

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 17:04:25 -0700
I'm having difficulty getting entry dates to display properly.

As a test, I have the following in my code:

Sample output from the above looks like this:

31 January 19702008-06-28 00:00:00

So, on the right, the correct date is being pulled in, however somehow I am not translating it properly, and the date via the date function is generic, rather that what's in the CMS.

Any thoughts?
