Re: Preview not showing additional content blocks

According to the Roadmap, preview is being rewritten for the 2.0 release.  In addition to supporting the new features that will be introduced, the rewrite should address the old problem of ignoring named content blocks.

Re: Error CMS_VERSION in cmsmadesimple 1.1.3.1

even if all the 3 solution works, only one is the best in performance terms. In fact, I agree with your performance concerns.  The third option is certainly the slowest for the reasons you state; however, the second option could be as efficient as "isset" or as inefficient as the combinat...

Change this to: if (!$this->wysiwygactive && isset($_SESSION["tiny_live_textareas"]) ) { In PHP 4.0.7 and later, this line can be: if (!$this->wysiwygactive && array_key_exists("tiny_live_textareas", $_SESSION) ) { The array_key_exists function is key_exists in P...

Re: Displaying the Most Recently Added Page Categorized by Template

Except that I don't want the menu reordered, I just want a link on one page to redirect to the most recently added or edited page.  From there, the site visitor navigates using a sorted menu on the left-hand side of the page. In my case ( Need to Vent! ), the site has several sections at the top-lev...

Re: Moving pages out from under parents

I would like to be able to add a new document (like in the news module) that "becomes the parent". Think of it like a "series" where the monthly or weekly content becomes the "cover page" with the same category or title. The children get bumped down as a new parent is ...

Using Content Management to Assemble Static Content as well as Dynamic Content

My experience with content management systems goes back to the late 1990's with the Vignette Content Management (nee StoryServer) product.  In working with that system and reflecting on 30 years or so computer programming experience ("objects--like my head--may appear larger that they really ar...

Re: Add the ability to specify a default value for a content block and more...

To make this feature request a bit more concrete, I am proposing that a "default" parameter be added to the "content" Smarty tag so that it could be used something like the following: <h1>{title}</h1> <p>by {content block="author' default="Ned Nowotny"}</p> <div id...

Re: Enable the option to associate default page content with a template.

Having had more time to think about this, I am convinced that adding a "default" parameter to the "content" Smarty tag is the right approach and satisfies all the requirements I had in mind when I proposed associating default content with a template.  In fact, multiple content bl...

A menu template is like a page template.  It generates the HTML (including "id" and "class" attributes used by CSS) necessary to present the menu data.  The CSS associated with a page template that includes a "menu" Smarty tag (possibly using an explicit menu template s...

Re: File Creation Mask

The file creation mask has nothing to do with the owner or group for created files.  Those are determined by the owner and group of the web server process. The file creation mask is used to determine the read/write/execute permissions for the uploaded and newly created files.  For details on Unix/Li...

Re: Add the "Character Map" to the TinyMCE WYSIWYG Basic toolbar by default.

It looks like the problem with replacing character entities can be fixed by removing the following line from the "modules/TinyMCE/tinyconfig.php" file.     entity_encoding : "raw", //performance update This line is located in the block passed to the "tinyMCE.init()" fun...

Re: Add the "Character Map" to the TinyMCE WYSIWYG Basic toolbar by default.

Well, it turns out that there is a new problem with the TinyMCE Character Map tool in CMS Made Simple 1.1.  In fact, it is a problem with the TinyMCE Basic plug-in even if the Character Map tool is not used:     [#1681] TinyMCE is now replacing HTML character entities with character codes and storin...
