CMS Made Simple Forums

Bump! Anyone? no one has tried chrooting CMSMS?

This is Centos 5.0/Apache on a VPS, all done as root: Unpack the directories, change ownership and get this (minor obfuscation, lines broken for clarity) [Fri Aug 01 11:43:10 2008] [error] [client 001.001.001.001] PHP Fatal error:  strftime() [function.strftime]: Timezone database is corrupt - this ...

Decided to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.3.1 to see if it fixed a problem I'm having on centos 5.2. Proceeded as follows: untar'd the full 1.3.1 archive over my existing cmsms directory, verified that config.php was untouched. went to mysite/install/upgrade.php and was greeted with: Database Connection Fail...

As reported by centos 5.2

mysql-5.0.45
php-5.1.6

Even worse, the upgrade.php aborts, reporting that in a separate thread ...

So far as I can remember I installed cmcms v1.3 on a centos 5.1 virtual host and everything appeared to be fine. I upgraded to centos 5.2 and now the admin backend is unusable becase of crashes, a typical error report line is *** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/httpd: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0...

OK, a hopefully definitive test. When the preview pane is initially opened my sidebar does not appear, however if I select its tab in the preview pane then the sidebar magically appears, an initialisation problem?

You could write a UDT that is attached to the ContentEditPost event that looks to see if the sidebar content block has any text and, if not, provide some default text. Nullig Don't know what a UDT is - something else to learn - sigh! :-) - I 've just noticed that this thread "Site Admin > Page...

I have had an identical query I raised in a different part of the forum (sorry!). The mechanism here is a display trick which will provide default text to show on the web page if a given content block is empty. I have been looking for something similar at the template level. What I want is boilerpla...

This is 1.3, I'm new to CMSMS but this seems wrong to me. I have a template with a second content block {content block='sidebar'}, I had been experimenting with placing initial text when the content block was empty only to realise it didn't do what I needed. (EDIT after some more investigation) I ha...

may be Smarty can do things like {content|default:' '} or "capture" the content to "thec" and use {$thec|default:' '} Hi Pierre Thanks, haven't yet looked at capture but the default: mechanism seems to be a display-only trick, i,e, if content not defined display this instead. Wh...

Thanks Ronny, Simple when you know where to look? My sidebar content consists of a heading and lots of other content, is it possible to provide default or initial content for these content blocks? I notice that in "Page Defaults" there are defaults for metadata and content, is it possible ...

OK, first post be kind. I am trying my first site with CMSMS - having a reasonable amount of experience with the MODx CMS - and have run into a newbie problem. I have tried looking at the documentation but could easily have missed something so if there is a TFM I would appreciate a pointer so I coul...
