XML files can be edited with simple text editing programs like NotePad, WordPad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac). Not sure if that solves your underlying issue but hope that helps.

I want to be able to edit the file on the server via cmsms - so a basic online text editing module would be good.

It's easy to reactivate it

Open FileEditor.module.php with your favourite editor, go to line 283

Code: Select all

	function MaximumCMSVersion()
	{
		return "1.0.5";
	}

and change it to

Code: Select all

	function MaximumCMSVersion()
	{
		return "1.2.5";
	}

Thanks but why did they set a limit on it? Does it cause probs under a later version?

And is this the only / best module to edit a text file online through cmsms?

Thanks

Its only a possibility to do that.

But the limit is inside the skeleton module so (new) coders think he have to use that function.

As you said this function could be used to "exclude" problems with later versions - but often there is no problem.

There is another file manager module available
