CMS Made Simple Forums

Reposted from: http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/2010/08/12/announcing-cms-made-simple-1-8-2-toliara/ This release is mainly to fix the issues that people with older sites had with the removal of the use_hierarchy option in config.php. To make sure that people don't mess up their SEO after an upgrade, we...

1.8.2 is released.  It puts use_hierarchy back as well as some bug fixes.  Blog post incoming...

We're listening, we swear. 

It looks like it was coded specifically to do that.  I'm testing a modified version now that uses the new logic even when name is specified.

Thanks, guys.  Do it as much as possible.  We weren't in last years because we didn't push hard enough.  I'm hoping that's fixed this year.  :)

Reposted from: http://geekmoot.com/2010/news/9/78/Preliminary-Schedule-Posted/ We've posted a preliminary schedule for everyone to see. We've tried our best to make the presentations varied and useful to all different levels of experience, while still making sure they're hosted by members of the com...

That sounds great to me.  We can try and set that up before hand, then.  I have a feeling we're going to be spending evenings in the central part of the city anyway, so it shouldn't matter.

These awards give amazing exposure for CMS Made Simple, and we'd love to be a finalist again this year. Please nominate us a...

While I would absolutely love that (PHP 5.3 has some amazing features), we're still at the mercy of what most hosting providers will use.  I'm guessing it'll take another year before 5.3 usage becomes wide spread enough that we can enforce it. And believe me, when they do, I'll be all over it becaus...

Reposted from: http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/2010/08/05/CMSMS-is-looking-for-PHP-developers/ With 2.0's upcoming alpha release coming very soon, we're looking for a few more PHP coders to add to the ranks of our motley crew of developers to help to push it along a little faster.  Do you have the PHP5...

I'm thinking about trying to get an evening event together for Wednesday after the workshops.  Is anyone interested?  Any ideas? (pub crawls are always good, but I'm open to suggestions )

Oh, and keep in mind that having use_hierarchy as false will turn off pretty URLs in modules, no matter what the settings.  Pretty URLs are inherently hierarchical and module developers count on this fact when they design their pretty url parsing schemes.  As long as that's understood, then I don't ...

I've heard and understand the concerns.  I personally don't agree with the idea, but I understand that people are trying to keep their sites running after an upgrade without requiring mod_rewrite rules to not break their SEO. If your site is flat, then wouldn't it just be flat in the page hierarchy ...

Pre-conference workshops have been announced. Reposted from: http://geekmoot.com/2010/news/8/72/Workshops-Announced/ It's official.  Our pre-conference, paid workshops are now set and ready for signups.  We've done our best to span the range of topics and make sure everyone can find an interesting w...

Install the CGExtensions module. 

When I look directly in the database table "cms_version" of one of my 1.7.1 installs of cmsms, my version is already at 33? Could that be a reason why the upgrade isn't working If you're already at 33, then the database should be fine.  It modifies that number after it runs all the databa...
