CMS Made Simple Forums

OK. Makes sense. I like what SMF does in that for their upgrades you can actually see what is changing. E.g. in x.php find "foo foo foo" and replace with "bar bar bar bar." While SMF has the capability to programmatically upgrade I generally do it by hand just to get a sense of w...

I installed cmsms on host A and then moved it all to host B. Host B has Softaculous. Is there a way I can trick Softaculous into thinking it installed it in the first place so that I could use it to manage future upgrades? As an aside there must be a good reason that cmsms isn't upgradable from the ...

Yes that does look very similar. I found something else while working on a workaround. Don't know if it's useful or not. I found in this IE case that the session id in the feusers_loggedin table doesn't match the actual session id in the cases where the wrong form is rendered. (i.e keep getting the ...

First of all, thanks for all for your recent coddling. Secondly, I'm not sure how helpful the following is but thought I'd share it in case others ran into similar behaviors. Lastly, While nothing is fixed I now believe I know exactly what's happening. However I don't know the why it's happening. Th...

Thanks for the very quick reply. I apologize if this is getting blurred with my questions elsewhere. I'm wondering if your questions here are regarding my thread that apparently got moved to the lounge. (http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=65457) But to answer your questions: sma...

Oh. Thanks for the tip. I uninstalled FEUMailer and it didn't make any difference to this behavior. Incidentally how would one check if they are compatible with the latest CMSMS? thx.

Thanks Calguy. (I'm still trying to adapt to your particular brand of bedside manner. ;D ) Did you mean to say something supportive like: "Hmmm... If that bit of code returns an id then you should be seeing the sign out form. If not then that would indicate that there is a problem with FEU whic...

Is there a way for the content page to know what form is being shown by {FrontEndUsers} I want to print instructions depending on what is being shown. (depending if login or signout) Unfortunately it is not a simple matter of making a UDT of something like: $feusers = cms_utils::get_module('FrontEnd...

Thanks. Let me add that this cmsms instance was a virgin install on 2/14 and I used the module manager to install all the modules during the week or so that followed. I'm assuming the module manager is picking up the latest modules. Right?

I've got a recurring issue. (Actually probably not recurring but outstanding.) I thought I had this fixed. http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=65361 but apparently not. I thought it was related to the FEU module but now I'm wondering if it is a general issue. You can see the behav...

I'd like to claim inspiration but I think more of desperation I just simplified and this seems to work as an event handler udt. $smarty_data = "{JM_Forum action='last_posts'}"; $output = $smarty->fetch('string:'.$smarty_data); /* Massage and store $output in database */ I read in the docum...

Problem doesn't seem to be item 2 above as it hangs the page no matter which event I pin it to. E.g. I invoked it with the FEU OnLogin event and it just hangs and times out. Hmmm.....

:( I spoke a bit too soon. While it works in a page as a udt it doesn't work when invoked by a triggered event. So positioning this as a general event handler question but using a specific example for illustration; Using the JM_Forum Module I've set up an "OnNewTopic" event triggered which...

My delay in the thanks was me using your great tips and first digging in and figuring the rest out. (And additional thanks to the smarty website.) This is what I ended up with. There may be a more elegant way but this gets me the page into a variable which then, at the very least, I can parse to pul...

I've got a general product support question but am showing a specific example to illustrate what I'm trying to learn. When a UDT is invoked I want it to be able to invoke a module and retrieve its output data. For example when a user gets to a certain page I want to log that into a database table. I...
