Thank you so much!! That worked perfectly. You're a lifesaver! I added the round function as well.

Have a great day!

I need some help with doing some calculations using the values from two different records.

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 06:06:11 -0700

I need some help with doing some calculations using the values from two different records. The site is for a sea turtle patrol and we have a table of statistics showing how many turtle nests, total turtle eggs, and how many live turtle hatchlings from those eggs. There is a column which displays the value for percentage of live hatchlings. In order to get that value I need to divide live turtle hatchlings by total turtle eggs then multiply * 100. The percentage field is currently calculated and entered manually. I would like to automate this process and have it done using php, as the records are generated/being displayed in the page. (See attached screenshot of the table and data displayed)

Here is the working code which populates the table:

So I need to take ($record['total_live_hatchlings']) and divide that by ($record['total_number_of_eggs']) then multiply by 100 and then display that value instead of the (manually entered) ($record['percentage_of_live_hatchlings'])

Hopefully this all makes sense. Anyone know how to accomplish this

Thanks in advance for any help!

Having trouble with uploads: Fatal Error

Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:12:39 -0700

Steve,

Thanks for taking the time to reply and sharing the article with me. It makes sense... I was able to finally get things going. I was resizing the photo (CMSB section editor upload) down to Max H 960 X Max L 960 and it wasn't until I changed that setting to 1600 X 1600 along with changing memory in php-ini on the web server that the fatal error went away.

Having trouble with uploads: Fatal Error

Mon, 02 Jun 2014 17:30:04 -0700

I am having trouble with uploads and am getting a Fatal error. Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 15364 bytes in /home/kevbarker/raingonc.com/admin/lib/image_functions.php on line 100.

Server Upload Limits are as follows

max_input_time: -1
post_max_size: 100M
upload_max_filesize: 100M

The photo I was trying to upload: (just one photo ) is 6.74 MB

Shouldn't the above settings allow for one photo of 6.74 MC to be uploaded?? Is it a problem with the server? It seems to work fine with smaller photo filesizes.

I am hosted with Dreamhost.

See attached screenshots.

I would appreciate input and suggestions. My client has been trying to upload photos with no success and is not happy.

Thanks

Need help with categories to show featured items by default

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 19:09:18 -0700

I am working on a site which will have several categories with products under each category. (essentially a store)

Using some of the tutorials for category menus, I managed to get it working so that when you click a category, it displays a list of the products for that category. Within the products section, there is a checkbox which determines if a product is featured or not.

Currently when I go to the page ALL of the products are displayed by default. I don't want to display ALL products by default (unless the All Products) link is clicked. What I need is for the default display to show only the products with the featured box checked, so that when a visitor first enters the site they see the featured items.

Any suggestions on how that might be achieved? I have posted the code from the page below and the link is: http://ncblades.com/test/

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

Re: Calendar populated with CMS Builder records

This is a great calendar and I plan to use it for a church website. I would like to use the same data from the database to display just the events for the current week on the homepage and provide a link to the full calendar.

Has anyone implemented a 'this weeks events' type setup?

Email all members following updates to a section

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 11:01:50 -0700

Is there a way to send an email notice to all members following an update of a section?

I am using the Membership plugin and have a section in a website which gets updated with new dosuments for some employees of a company. This works fine, but the managment wants to automate the notification of the employees by sending out an email to all members when the section has been updated. Is this possible?

Could the emailOnApproved.php plugin be used somehow? (see: http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/Products_C2/CMS_Builder%3A_Plugins_%26_Add-ons_F40/gforum.cgi?post=80429;search_string=Email%20On%20Approved;t=search_engine#80429) I have it installed already and am using it to email the members once their membership has been approved. Not sure how to have it send email to all members on an 'update' of a section though...

Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

Need Help with Category Setup

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:40:20 -0800

I am working on a site where I need to display a list of categories and when one of the categories is clicked display a list of the records which belong in that category. I am close to what I need, but can't seem to figure out how to display NO records for the initial index page. Right now it list all the categories as desired, but also shows ALL records created. I would like for no records to be displayed until a category or sub-category is clicked. I followed the tutorial Chris posted and got this far. Anyone know what I'm missing? How can I have it display NO records on the index page until a category is selected?

Here is a link to the basic index page:
http://www.thelawsonshouse.com/employee/

As you will see it displays ALL records on page and then when a category is clicked, will display associated records for that category.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: [einslistir] Anyone used SimpleViewer for Picture Gallery?

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:04:24 -0800

Have you tried to get it to work in a regular web page (without CMSB)? It sounds like maybe the CSS being used by the slideshow(s) is interfering with the CSS you have for page layout. I would start with a blank web page to test it. Get it working on a blank web page (without your layout, CSS, etc.) then add the code to one of your pages and go from there, to help narrow down what is breaking your layout. Can you post a link to the page that's messed up so that I can see it? That way I could get a better undertsanding of what's happening and I may be able to help you more.

Kevin

Re: [einslistir] Anyone used SimpleViewer for Picture Gallery?

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:58:18 -0800

Hi einslistir,

I have not used SimpleViewer but it is pretty much like most of the other slideshow applications in that it uses an XML file to determine what to display. I just downloaded the free version of SimpleViewer and looked at the XML file and at initial review I don't see any reason why you can't use it with CMSB. I would suggest you get SimpleViewer working without CMSB first, then create a section editor to control the content. You could optionally set it up so that you can modify all of the gallery parameters such as text color, width, height, etc. with a section editor or you could hard code those within the XML file and simply have CMSB build the content within the image tags.

I have setup several other slideshows, such as SlideShow Pro, and all of them have functioned well using CMSB. I would say go for it! I would be happy to help you as much as I can if you run into a 'snag'.

Hope this helps,

Kevin

Re: [drewh01] banner rotator with text

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:11:56 -0800

It's fairly easy to setup with CMSB. You just have to create any of the fields (that you want the user to control) and have CMSB build your XML file (which contains all of the parameters) for the Flash slideshow. Much like you are doing now with the one you have, but with this one you will have text as well.

I have used SlideshowPro for years and usually prefer that but the animated text, as Chris said, is gorgeous on this one and you can even embed your own custom fonts as well if you have Flash 8 or higher and don't mind a little Actionscript. There are some fairly good instructions included with it as well. I hope this helps.

Here is a sample of the XML it uses so you can get an idea of what you need to do if you decide to purchase. You can choose as many or as few of the settings as you want to be controlled by CMSB.

I am currently working on a church website design and am using an XML based Flash slideshow I found on Active Den. It has a feature which allows animated text to be added to each photo. I am pretty impressed so far and have contacted the developer and he has been very responsive to my questions. I have already set it up using CMSB and I am fine tuning it now. I had actually hoped to get it perfected and put together a tutorial for this forum - time permitting.

You might want to check it out. It is $12.00 and in my opinion worth it for the dynamic text feature available.

There are quite a few Flash based news tickers here: http://flashden.net/searches?term=ticker&type=files I saw some pretty cool ones there. Most are less than $10.

I would choose one which is XML based and then use CMSB to update the XML file which the Flash ticker uses.

Jerry,

Dealing with SPAM when using a contact form can definitely be a problem if you decide to go that route. I have recently started using a contact form I found, and so far have not seen a single instance of SPAM since implemented on 3 of my clients sites (6+ months). The best thing of all is that it is free and fairly simple to setup. I have tried/used quite a few contact form scripts and would rank this one the best by far based on my experience.

You can get the contact form at: http://green-beast.com/gbcf-v3/

I hope this info helps if you decide to use the contact form instead of the email link.
