CMS Made Simple Forums

Thanks Calguy,

That's got me up and running. I've ended up with a config.php file which is 14 lines long instead of 38 but the great thing is that it works!

http://www.cife.org.uk works fine, hosted on 1and1 using CMSMS 1.10.3. I want to duplicate a working version of the site on my own PC, running locally via XAMPP. Installed XAMPP successfully (MySQL 5.5.16, PHP 5.3.8 ). Downloaded the CMSMS files from 1and1 and installed in the XAMPP htdocs/cmsmadesi...

Thanks Applejack - you're a star! All done within 24 hours of posting the request.

I manage http://www.cife.org.uk hosted on 1&1 . It's currently on 1.8.1, with installed modules as follows CMSMailer 2.0, FileManager 1.0.2, MenuManager 1.6.5, ModuleManager 1.4, News 2.10.6, nuSOAP 1.0.1, Printing 1.1.0, Search 1.6.5, ThemeManager 1.1.1, TinyMCE 2.7.2, CGSimpleSmarty 1.4.5, Cap...

My lack of understanding what rewriteRule does. I now know a little bit more and so 100% sorted. Thanks to all for help.

Thanks Owr, I see what the forum post you refer to says. In the 'content' part of Admin, when editing any page, in the main tab the first user-defined bit is a drop-down list titled 'content type', and 'Error page' is one of the drop down options. And I guess that the other part of my query, about t...

I've just updated from 1.4.4 to 1.8.1. Same host (1and1), directories etc. Update now running OK thanks to replytomk3, kermit and others, except for one odd problem. The site has always had a page called 'error', which gets shown if user submits a wrongly filled contact form. It's worked fine, but a...

Just to follow up on the need to update from 1.4.1 to 1.8.1. I ducked out of trying it myself and got replytomk3 to do it for me. Glad I did: most went fine but the old installation relied heavily on a template which used a lot of IF statements to create a variety of page layouts. Those entailed rep...

Got this in the relevant part of config.php (NB this is from a 1.4.1 installation, in need of update. #------------------ #Usability Settings #------------------ #Allow smarty {php} tags?  These could be dangerous if you don't trust your users. $config['use_smarty_php_tags'] = false; #Automatically ...

Thanks for the comments. I tried your suggestion kermit, and with a bit of trial and error about where to put the rewrite statement relative to the exisitng ones, got a solution. It only worked if I kept the redirects in too - wierd! Upgrading is a must I know, but it's so easy to put off when all's...

I'm running a site, www.cife.org.uk using CMSMS v1.4.1. I'm revising the site and want to change a number of page titles (for better SEO). To keep any existing page rank I want to make sure that anyone using the old page URI gets sent automatically to the new page. To do this I'm adding 301 redirect...
