CMS Made Simple Forums

I have a large number of pages.  I discovered that, when I left the v1.5 -> v1.6 upgrade long enough, it eventually completed.  The upgrade was particularly time-consuming in needing to re-index all of the pages.  Perhaps this is why not many other people seem to have had trouble with the upgrade. I...

All the main DB flavours now support auto-increment in some way or other ...

... except Oracle - what a bizarre omission!

Yes, it's my development server.

When I can upgrade that successfully, I'll attempt the production server.

Thanks.  This is the info from the (working) 154 installation on my development server. CMS Version 1.5.4 Installed Modules CMSMailer 1.73.14 FileManager 0.4.3 MenuManager 1.5.3 ModuleManager 1.2.1 News 2.9.3 nuSOAP 1.0.1 Printing 0.2.6 Search 1.5.3 ThemeManager 1.1.0 FileBackup 0.2 TruetypeText 2.0...

Hi, I tried installing the XMLExport module. http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/xmlexport It hasn't been updated since June 2007 and didn't work at first.  I found the initial problem was that the case of the folder was wrong (XmlExport instead of XMLExport) - presumably this error wouldn't be no...

Hi, I am trying to upgrade from v1.5.4 to v1.6 but without success so far. I followed the instructions and reached step 5 of the install/upgrade.php process (upgrade schema).  When I click 'continue', the browser hangs, never reaching the next step. I tried $config['debug'] = true; in config.php but...

A widely supported feature of modern desktop & server operating system is  for directory names to consist of words separated by '/' (forward slash).  This includes Microsoft Windows (except old versions and special situations such as the cmd.exe shell).  There is more on this topic on Wikipedia ...

I think a customised live CD is a good idea.  :) Just to throw another option in the works, you can do similar customisation with Ubuntu as well - that would have different features compared with Slitaz -- bigger footprint; bigger memory stick needed ++ more apps bundled in by default ++ popular dis...

Well, it's backwards compatible, but the reason I care more than anything else is transactions -- I honestly don't use foreign keys much (for the same reason I really don't like non-dynamic languages).  So until we can use transactions throughout the system, it's not a huge deal (well, to me anyway...

I'm glad to hear we can look forward to this improvement. Is it backward compatible?  I mean, if we design the schema with the necessary foreign key relationships etc, then those with a newish MySQL will get substantial benefits.  Then, for those who have older MySQL, the installer can detect that a...

There has been remarkably little discussion of InnoDB on this forum.  I have used a range of systems with MySQL as the database and I like CMS Made Simple for its simplicity.  But isn't it the case that InnoDB serves better the need of a multi-user CMS than the older MyISAM engine? Pros and cons inc...

When I set up a small demo website on our LAN - which is behind a firewall and cannot directly access the internet - then CMS Made Simple was taking ages to do everything. I checked using Wireshark and found that there are request attempts being made to dev.cmsmadesimple.org.  Scanning through the c...

I like to have clean separation of presentation from content.  The existing breadcrumb tag doesn't do this; instead it builds the presentation stuff into the HTML. So I wrote a new version of it (which I imaginatively called breadcrumbs2) that generates a sequence of list elements.  You just wrap it...

Hi I've just started using the Truetype Text module - I'm impressed; well done the people who wrote it!! What is on the roadmap to extend it?  I have four relatively-simple questions - or suggestions for enhancements - all of which stem from the desire to put title labels into fixed-layout graphics....
