CMS Made Simple Forums

Alright, I posted the source code for the two modules I wrote. You can find the source code for the User Generated Articles module here . You can find the source code for the Web Quests module here . They're both functional on my site, but I can't make any guarantees that they'll be easily portable ...

Hey all, Sorry I've been working a lot on a different project.  Didn't notice there was any interest in this... =) @nivekiam 100% correct.  I write up the standard content page (which has the pretty url).  Then, I modified the news template and write a News article stump for it.  I added a custom fi...

As I was adding content to my site, I faced a bit of a conundrum - I like using the News module to highlight new content pages, but I never have anything to put into the "Content" section of the News.  It seemed, for my needs, to be more efficient to have the News title link directly to co...

Just launched my new site - Babel - using CMS 1.2.2. I made a couple custom modules for it.  One allows FrontEndUsers to submit and edit Lesson Plans.  The other allows FrontEndUsers to create Web Quests (mini webpages for use in the classroom). I played with the News summary template a bit, so that...

After some snooping around in the settings of TinyMCE (odd place to look, eh?), I found something that kind of works. If you check off "Apply Source Formatting to Output HTML," most of the white space is kept intact. If I start a new line, that new line character remains there.  However, i...

Howdy, I've noticed that when you edit a content page, all of the white space in the HTML is trimmed out.  This leaves the HTML as one long line if you view the source, or one giant block of text if you try to edit the HTML directly. My question is: Is this a function of the WYSIWYG editor I'm using...

As I mentioned in my first post, I thought about that... but I didn't necessarily want a category for every user that signs up. Let's say only 40% of users actually use the upload feature and add files.  If every user gets a category, that's a lot of redundancy. Given the requirement that a category...

Hmm...  not sure exactly what could be going wrong there. One thing to check.  Load the page with the form on it.  View the source and look for the "hidden" field "category."  Check and make sure that the field has a value.  If that field is blank for some reason, nothing will ha...

You shouldn't notice any differences, except that a category is automatically created if it doesn't already exist.  It sounds like that is working for you. In order to customize the category based on the user, call the module just like you did.  Then, in place of "something" use a FrontEnd...

Edit:  Made a slight change to the function declaration for autoAddCategory().  $grouplist now has a default of an empty array.  This should clear up any permission problems. I'm using the Uploads module in conjunction with another module I'm writing.  I wanted each FrontEndUser to have his or her o...

I'm not sure exactly how you would integrate a payment system into registering members, but the rest is easy enough with CMSMS and some of its plugins. The FrontEndUsers and SelfRegistration mods would allow the users to sign up.  I guess you'd have to modify the SelfRegistration mod to include the ...

Howdy, I've been working on a module for my website and I came across a few situations in which I found two different examples of accomplishing what I wanted (in the documentation and other mod code). The first situation involves getting a reference to $db. In one place, I found... $db =& $gCms-...
