CMS Made Simple Forums

Yes exactly if you use modules which have a tendency to come and go which is why I try and stick to using the core as much as possible.

Re point 4 I meant in order to be able to update to series 2.

Getting rid of GCB was a stupid idea. Why:- 1. Easy for a client to use, as they create a GCB save and the code they need to use is shown which they can copy and paste. 2. Restrict access to templates for clients. 3. Randomise CGB based upon a naming convention (using regex), which I'm sure can be d...

The banners module you can set how many times to show up, when to start it, stop it.

If you want to in page rotate you also can if you get your hands dirty with a bit of jQuery.

However does the banners module have such developed functions of some WP plugins then no.

Hi Robert

Wasn't sure where to post this just wanted to let you know there is a mismatch in the file names for the latest version of CGExtensions.

CGExtensions-1.51.2.tar.gz
CGExtensions-1.52.2.xml

Also where is the svn repo for this as the link listed on the code page doesn't work.

Ok thanks didn't realise it was already v2 compatible.

Hi Robert

I would grateful if you could please let me know whether or not you intend at some point to update Newsletter Made Simple to run on v2 of CMSMS.

Ok Thanks once again.

Solution to initial question is:-

Hi Jo

Many thanks that worked.

From what I know you can create page content blocks dynamically in a loop. Is that correct ?

Not sure if this is possible but in a page template I need to be able to re-create variable names within a smarty loop and pull out their values. In a page template there are 20 content blocks using a naming convention speaker_name_1, speaker_name_2, speaker_name_3 all assigned to same named variabl...

Re Point A Ok if your so sure that long text is never required please explain how you would do this. Scenario is for an events programme which needs to be added and editable by the client without using any coding apart from the obvious one of simple text formatting. A programme can consist of up to ...

Thanks Robert. I wasn't asking for support just a general query and thoughts, though it would have been nice if you could have actually answered the question as to why these data types are set to text if there is no good reason not to set them as long text, and therefore avoid having to answers such...

Is there any good reason why some of the fields are set to text rather than long text such as the template_content field in the cms_templates table and the html fields in cms_htmlblobs amongst others. I'm asking this because I'm having to create a site where the page template content is very large (...

Many thanks Velden that helped me get it sorted.
