I agree with you aev, the multi-select/value feature would be extremely useful. Certainly more of a priority than adding the additional thumbnail option.

I used your alternating background color code also Dave. Thanks!

Hi Dave,

I'd like to request the option to create and addition thumbnail when uploading images.

Example:

[img]http://cmsbuilder.designsbydarren.com/images/example_001.gif[/img]

This would allow me to show the thumbnail in the article summary, the preview in the full article, and clicking the thumb/preview would display the larger image ( 440 pixels wide in this example ).

This may be to resource intensive. But it would sure be nice to have. I use thickbox and other image display tools to handle images. Having 3 sizes available would provide lots of flexibility to designers and requires no additional work from the end-user since it's all automatic [;)]

Just a suggestion.

Keep up all the great work!

Displaying Upload Field Data

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 23:10:35 -0700

I'm creating a blog/news section on my site using CMS Builder. With each post, the user will have an option to create a gallery of related images using the 'upload' field type. Works great but I need to add some conditional logic:

If record exists and the 'Gallery' upload field has at least 1 photo in it then:

Display a custom CSS div with all the images inside

Else:

Don't show any CSS div for the gallery / Don't show any images.

Make sense? Right now my code displays a empty gallery box if no images are in the upload field. I'd prefer not to show anything at all ( no gallery box ).

I need to check if 'gallery' contains any items before the foreach is executed to display the items:

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks [;)]

Thanks! That works Dave [;)]

I realize it's not very efficient to upload a 2MB JPG only to resize it to a 40KB image, but my end-users will attempt to upload them straight from their digital cameras. Just wanted to be sure I could handle up to 2MB to be safe.

The other script I use it photopost. It creates thumbnails and preview images. I've uploaded 5-6MB images on my photo sharing site ( www.pixelperfectdigital.com ) without any issues. It's hosted on the same server. Not sure how they handle the memory.

More of a server resource issue. No problem with CMSBuilder I understand.

BTW - I love all the enhancements you've added. I updgraded from 1.08 to 1.12 today! Still playing around with my test site, but I'm extremely pleased with the product. [cool]

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 14016 bytes) in /home/dbd/public_html/cmsbuilder/admin/lib/menus/default/uploadForm_functions.php on line 238

I get this when I attempt to upload a 2MB photo using the upload field in CMSBuilder.

My PHP install allows up to 30MB. I've played around with the various setting in the Admin Panel but cannot seem to determine the problem. I upload 5MB+ filed routinely on the same server using Photopost and other PHP scripts.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 10:05:19 -0800

Thanks, that did the trick! I'm really enjoying CMSB. You did a great job. I've used a lot of other content management/blogging scripts including snews, wordpress, and expression engine. CMSB is quickly becoming my favorite [;)]

I appreciate all your help!

Multi-Field Search Syntax?

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 19:36:01 -0800

I've been experimenting with the new search parameters in CMS Builder. I can search for any single field and get matching records using this:

 Keyword Search:

In the example above I'm searching the "Title" field. Ideally I'd like to search both my "title" and "content" fields. I can't figure out how to query 2 fields with one search? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Thanks Dave! Worked great [;)] Appreciate your help.

Here's a new demo page showing images resize at the higher JPG quality. Big difference:

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the welcome! Appreciate your comment about my templates. I've got a bunch more to post but I'm waiting until I complete my site redesign using CMS Builder [;)]

Here's a sample of the images I uploaded. You'll see the distortion around the edge of the cards (especially on the thumbnail). The original image was crystal clear. On some of the other gallery scripts I've used you could adjust the JPG compression/quality. I realize the higher the quality, the larger the file size. So it's always a trade-off. For some applications, like photoblogs, you might want higher quality jpgs. I was playing with the gallery feature. It's really neat.

Note: I removed the sample images since the problem has been fixed.

Quality of resized images?

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:20:19 -0800

Hello,

Just purchased a copy of CMS Builder yesterday. So far I'm very impressed. No problems installing. Still playing around with all the options [;)] One feature that I like is the multiple image upload (image gallery) field. I was wondering how I could improve the JPG quality of the resized images. They aren't terrible but I would like to boost the quality a bit. Could you tell me if this is possible and if so, where would I make the change in the code.

Thanks!
