CMS Made Simple Forums

It depends on how you're setting up the site, but if I'm understanding correctly, you could change the Home page in Content Manager to be a redirecting link, and enter the url appropriately. Most navigation is tied to Content Manager, but you can always do it yourself directly like you would in Joom...

The updated versions of those two modules are SmartImage and LISE. LISE is ideal for this sort of thing, but for small projects where all of the items can be stored in a single page, ECB2 is a potential alternative.

I'm not sure if it's a bug that it doesn't work, or just a feature that was never added, but I do something like this:

The documentation is at https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/

Header, footer, etc are all in Design Manager. Edit the html/css of the template you want to use. For something like featured posts you probably want to be a lot more specific with a separate forum post detailing where you're stuck.

Each user can select which editor to use - you don't need to uninstall or disable MicroTiny.
Go to My Preferences > My Account > User Preferences and look under the Content editor settings heading.

I'm not sure, it's been 15 years so I don't remember what would have changed there. It could just be the user has an incorrect or no editor selected, but either way I'd probably just not worry about it and/or uninstall TinyMCE. In 2.x, the default editor is MicroTiny and it will get upgraded with co...

Have you tried the expanded installer? (see the README included)

WIth that module list I don't think you'll run into many issues if you follow the upgrade steps. I'd just uninstall FCKeditorX and then you're only dealing with core modules that will be handled by the upgrade process. Assuming no complex UDTs or core hacks the only trick will be timing the PHP upgr...

There's no unique-to-cmsms method, just use one of the many available javascript options out there. There are free and paid ones, depending on the amount of functionality you need. Remember when pasting javascript into a cmsms template to either wrap it in {literal} {/literal} tags, or edit the js t...

There are going to be some challenges with a site that age, and even with instructions there could be a few hidden gotchas with customizations, User Defined Tags, etc. We'll try to help where we can, but suggest you make interim backups each time you get past a step. We also have devs available for ...

CMSMS does not interfere with your html/css at all, so there are no limitations of this type. Best practice is to use Design Manager to manage your templates and stylesheets.

What happens if you comment out the public cache location line in config?

There is a bug in the current version where it processes the submitted code instead of just verifying it, so any PHP errors in your code or anything not parsable in admin will cause it to white screen on submit. Best option for now is to use a plugin instead of a UDT - then you should only get error...

Without editing the module code, any workaround is only going to stay in place until you edit the item. I don't think the intention was ever to "ban" double hyphens, it's just a feature to keep things clean and was probably in the original List-It module from ~15 years ago. I think it's fa...
