Re: Topic Subjects need to be Relevant

One of the biggest problems are that some people visit forums like this and post questions to get answers because they are too lazy to do the research themselves, instead they expect others to do the leg-work for them. ... If this quality control doesn't start to happen, I would consider walking aw...

Re: Error while moving cms site

Log in as admin and look at your template. You will probably see extra blank lines that are not in your original site. These extra blank lines often split parameters like the menu template name or HTML tags, and causes the failures. (This is also why the TinyMCE editor did not work when you first in...

Hey, that's a neat trick! I hadn't made the connection with PageBlock templates.

Thanks!

Re: meta tags on each page

kermit, using global content blocks for metadata is a great tip!

abhija, a user-defined tag to determine a page's root parent is in the wiki. Using that and some basic Smarty {$if} code, you could do what kermit's describing for 'automagic' output of the appropriate metadata for each section.

If you mean the menu would look like this, where ALL CAPS and === represent the current page you are on...

Re: Graphical element destroyed

It might help, but I didn't dig deeply enough to understand the cause, so couldn't say what other effects it would have. Mostly it was just to narrow it down to margin and border-collapse as why the tables have an offset. (By the way, I'm assuming that you've intentionally moved the red search box d...

Re: Changing colour of headblock

In your stylesheet, look for #content h2, and change the border-bottom and border-left to what you'd like.  ;D div#content h2 { color: #294B5F; font-size: 1.5em; text-align: left; /* some air around the text */ padding-left: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 1px; /* set borders around header */ border-bottom: ...

Re: Graphical element destroyed

Something's definitely adding margin to your table elements. Check this one:

div#contentbox table{margin-left:25px}

You can see the difference by disabling all margins/padding/borders with something like this:

table{margin:0px!important;padding:0px!important;border-collapse:collapse;}

Re: Calendar Template Script

You'll need to steal some code back from the original Calendar template and work it in. There's a bit in there that keeps the "day" counter cycling through seven values; when it hits "7" it's reset to zero. Here are the relevant bits from that template. It's not usable as is sinc...

Re: Employment Opportunities - Suggestions?

I took another look at FormBrowser and remembered that one of the reasons I hadn't used it was because the link to view a record in the list is hardwired in code as a magnifying glass icon -- silly though that reason is. I didn't want the icon, just a link on the text of a field -- in this case, the...

Re: Including php functions in a UDT

Interesting. I was guessing the external file either did the mailing or that all of the form handling was being done "inline" -- and inline is the answer. There is some form validation JavaScript in your source--evidently it's just not used; maybe remnants from something else. You might be...

Re: Including php functions in a UDT

Yes; share code.  :)

I'm curious now how it's doing it's thing since the form's action parameter is blank, and the JScript form validation function doesn't seem to be called anywhere.

Re: Including php functions in a UDT

In most cases, you should be able to simply paste the PHP code into the UDT, without the opening and closing tags. If the code came from someplace else, it might have been built in a way that makes it necessary to have separate PHP files without some tweaking. That could be the case with the your fo...

Re: Speed up your site.. lose {stylesheet}

In Wordpress you can also edit a static stylesheet in the back-end, maybe thats a good idea for cmsms also? I like this idea; the same editing capabilities could also support other "external" files like menu templates that aren't saved into the database. Some permission setting might be n...

Employment Opportunities - Suggestions?

One of the sites I developed has an "Employment Opportunities" section with current openings listed. Right now, each listing is simply copied from a Word document, pasted into a new page as plain text and formatted within CMSMS. After updating a few listings recently, I was wondering if th...
