CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi. I have created site for a school with most of the content structured and added into CMSMS. The site works fine, but I have a few last tasks I need technical assistance with. Mainly I need to implement a new design template I downloaded with some CSS/template adjustments, and placement of a menu ...

My debug produced: <!-- IMAGE ROTATOR DEBUG: Relative folder path: uploads/randomimage/ Absolute folder path: /home/content/n/e/w/sitename/html/uploads/randomimage 0 images found in folder (display image number is 0) --> Note: I replaced the site's actual name with "sitename" in the quote ...

I'm finding that each of these image rotators work if the tag is used without any parameters on my Home page content area. When I try to set a folder, as in: {image_rotator folder="random"} or {image_rotator folder="uploads/images/random"}  [with and without preceding /] same wit...

Random image just uses the random image tag like this: {random_image folder='uploads/images/headers/'} I did have the random information in the stylesheet (for the header background) but it wouldn't refresh without a hard refresh in FireFox.  So I moved the code to the PHP file and it worked fine. ...

Okay, I figured out that NMS doesn't come with a layout template for the HTML message, so one has to go to the Layout > Templates section of the CMS Admin and create/copy a template for use with the newsletter.

I did a search but couldn't locate this specific question, though there might be similar questions on how the Uploads module works in conjunction with other modules. When I create a new News Article, I see the Upload File field at the bottom of the form. When I use it to attach a file to the article...

Does this patch and subsequent tweak for the Images folder work for News 2.6 on CMSMS 1.2?

I am new to CMSMS but everyday it continues to impress me. This Forum has become a favorite stomping ground to browse on my iPhone when I have some down time, and of course when I am working on a site and get stumped. I installed the NMS 1.0.1 on CMSMS 1.2 (NMS 1.0.2 produced an XML parsing error wh...

Hello David, Congrats on your site design. It looks really nice. I am wondering if you could explain or point me to some source for more information on how you accomplished the following: 1) transparency method on the menu 2) the changing/rotating image at the top of each page 3) the "In this s...

The 2.6 help says: (optional) category="category" - Only display items for that category. Use * after the name to show children. Multiple categories can be used if separated with a comma. Leaving empty, will show all categories. -- First of all, I'm not sure what "leaving empty" ...

This is precisely the issue I am interested in...how to select Categories on the FE news form. I am new to CMSMS but it keeps on impressing me the more I learn about how it is set up and the ease with which features can be implemented. I was wondering about creating a modified template for the FE fo...
