CMS Made Simple Forums

I had designed a nice site using version 1.8.2, but it broke when I upgraded postgres to the 9.x series. Because I have used postgres for more than a dozen years (and sqlite occassionally) I see no need to install, learn, and support a third dbms: mysql. If the current version 1.1.0 will work with p...

Thank you. That answers my question and allows me to move forward.

Much appreciated,

I've given up trying to discover why 1.8.2 will not work with postgres-9.x. I have an opportunity to host my company web site on a server slice that uses mysql as the back end and I want to learn if I can transfer the tables intact. I've used pg_dump to create a sql file of the cms database created ...

DrCSS/Wishbone: Thanks for the pointer to config.php. It had the database as 'postgres7' and I just changed that to 'postgres'. Otherwise, everything is the same as before: $config['dbms'] = 'postgres'; $config['db_hostname'] = 'localhost'; $config['db_username'] = 'rshepard'; $config['db_password']...

I want to upgrade from the existing 1.8.2 version and prepare the local development version of our site for deployment. However, I cannot access the current version because of an internal server error. Here's the current versions of relevant software: Slackware-13.1 PostgreSQL-9.0.3 PHP-5.2.17 httpd...

I thought I read something about CMSMS not working with postgres-9.0. Am I mistaken? I want to upgrade from my current installation of 8.3.3 and might as well go to 9.0 if this app will also work with it.

TIA,

Rich

Right now it's strictly local. I'll see about moving it to the world-facing server some time this week.

Thanks,

Rich

Thank you, Mark. I did not see the 'y' in the header before your response prompted a much more careful look. For the image tag, I thought I needed that in the body of the template to display the image on a specific page; I don't. Now I know how to use the page options instead of the image manager th...

Using 1.8.2 and a copy of the Arty theme/framework. I've just about completed the migration of our site from straight xhtml/css to CMS Made Simple. I have four remaining issues that I've not been able to resolve myself. The attached screenshot illustrates three of the four issues.   1.) There is now...

Thank you very much. Using the 'add image' icon in the WYSIWYG view answered both questions. Now I have both images placed where I want them.

One issue down, two to go. Those will be posted in the html/css section.

The discussion of the image manager in Sofia Hauschildt's book helped me learn how to apply an image to a page. However, I do not see how to load two images on the same page and specify where they are to be placed. I have one image (from Contents->Page->Options) on the page in the upper, left corner...

Thank you, Jos. That did the trick.

I'm using a copy of the Arty theme/template with cmsms-1.8.2. I've used the image manager to upload the corporate logo and put the html to display it in the template. When I view the site I see the alternate text because the image is apparently not found. The syntax I'm using (straight from the curr...

D'oh! Of course. I'm used to working in emacs rather than a GUI editor.

I've answered a couple of my questions. The others are probably better placed in the general discussions area than in this one.

Many thanks,

Rich

I have read Chapter 4 in Sofia Hauschildt's book yet still have questions about template editing. For my site I've selected the Arty theme/template. I copied that to a new name that I've made the default for my site. I can alter my copy while retaining the original Arty as a backup. I have found whe...
