CMS Made Simple Forums

thanks! I'll give it a try. do I need to be on a certain version of cmsms?

any progress on this?

:) Yeah, I agree... I was quite glad that I made a complete backup and tried the upgrade in a temporary area on a copy of the db.  If I hadn't done this, I'd have a very unhappy customer without a contact form on their site right now, until I figure out what happened to my old contact form, then fig...

tried to install that one from the xml file, but it failed... is there an alternate way to install it? UPDATE: forget that... I found the module manager... worked when I tried installing it from there... SUGGESTION: perhaps a link to the module manager in the "Modules' page would help others in...

I've upgraded recently from an old version that had a built in contact us form... it seems this is gone... what is the recommended way to have a simple contact form now?

thanks!

thanks for the reply... Actually, I didn't do anything, but I logged in again the next day and the full toolbar was there... weird...

I upgraded from a quite old version of cmsms, and things were going well, till I noticed the toolbar on the html editor was gone... so I went looking for how to restore it... and now I ended up completely removing the html editor, as all I see now is html markup where I previously saw the bold, ital...

I've used both, CMSMS much more than modx, and I really appreciate cmsms's handling of templates and stylesheets completely in the database.  Modx stores the template in the db, yet not the stylesheets.  You can edit them within the admin tool, but the stylesheet is just treated as a "resource&...

I understand... though the configuration would then need to know that you're using mod_rewrite and generate stylesheet links correctly to match the rewriting... either way, a change to the way stylesheet links are created would be required. 

no problem... I can make the change by hand to the sites I want to mirror for now.  If you have any other questions about the change, let me know.

Thanks.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but here's another idea along the same lines: the {stylesheet} tag could take an optional parameter of the "extension", like {stylesheet extension=.css} then the stylesheet function would use this param to add to the end of the stylesheet url link.  Similar ...

as discussed in this thread http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,15323.msg76372.html#msg76372 I propose a change to function.stylesheet.php. quick summary: This change will add a dummy parameter at the end of the generated stylesheet url, causing it to appear that the stylesheet url is act...

One way could be that you have a link to stylesheet hardcoded in your template header the "the old fashioned" way as file. Editing would not happen through Admin tools then. Some like it - some don't. I thought of that... it's definitely a way to force the .css extension, but I much prefe...

Sorry, I should have popped back into this discussion sooner. I've done more research, and it does fetch the CSS, and save it locally, but when it's served up by the mirror, it comes across with a content-type of text/plain.  And then firefox doesn't apply the css to the page, because it's not text/...

I'm interested in mirroring my cmsms site using wget.  I"m planning to schedule regular wget mirrors from my main server that runs php and cmsms over to another server that just serves static content.  My plan is if the main site becomes unavailable, I can switch dns to the other static site an...
