CMS Made Simple Forums

2) Will also look into mailto: alternative... I hadn't heard of this being a problem before but will have a hunt around just the fact that a mailto: link is nothing but a giant neon sign that says "spam me" should be enough of a reason to use a contact form (handled server-side) instead.....

it's not in the tag's help, but you can assign the result right to a smarty variable:

{page_attr key='extra1' assign='myvar'}

no need to "capture" it.

i think companydirectory module would do nicely here...

how do I pass Smarty variables via URL? For example: http://mysite.com/somepage.html?somevariable=somevalue if you put the following.... {$smarty.request.somevariable} in a page requested via this url... http://mysite.com/somepage.html?somevariable=somevalue it would display... somevalue see http:/...

look in your config.php


#Display abbrieviated performance info in html source output
$config['show_performance_info'] = true;

gzip a stylesheet vs minified then gzip..  the differences in output size is minimal.   modern browsers support gzip encoding of css, and so does cmsms. so why add the extra overhead and complexity of a minify routine (and the slight risk it will bork your layout) if it's not really gonna make a dif...

you want a page without anything in its content block?  try an html or smarty {* *} comment.

The only thing I'm concerned about is not being able to edit the order of the blocks easily but that shouldn't really be too big of a deal. if you go with the 'nested' gcb's, you have ONE in the page template, and that one will call the others, you can remove, add or rearrange them in there easily ...

layout -> stylesheets

either add another stylesheet that contains the calendar css you need to use, then attach to your main site template...  or add the calendar css to the end of the stylesheet that is attached to your template.

the old {contact_form} tag, which was removed from cmsms (but still works), can be modified to choose a destination email address (or addresses) based on a pull-down selection in the form. i use it, or a variation of it, on most sites instead of formbuilder, which i consider to be overkill for a sim...

one of the things i like most about cms made simple is that its output is not structured into "blocks" like a *nuke, joomla, or other overweight cms/portal. it is easy to put whatever you want, wherever you want it. for a client-editable site-wide content 'block' in a sidebar, that may cha...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file if you want to work on a new site at a new host for an existing domain & site hosted elsewhere, a simple edit to your own hosts file will allow you to access the domain's new account and web space by its correct domain name before you change the dns to poi...

if that other script cannot be turned into a UDT or module, and you cannot rewrite it to not be dependent upon the location of the script that calls it or so it can reside in cmsms root, then you will need to make it a separate page, outside of cmsms and link to it as an external link; or try the {e...

if i only want a user to have extremely limited access to edit a single page, or even just a portion of it, i just pull the content they are allowed to edit and stick it in a global content block, and give the user limited access to that, instead.

perhaps it is because ie can't handle the invalid characters in the middle of it....
