adding an image to a page

[Overlander]

Hi
I have used a previous version of cmsmadesimple and to add an image one just clicks on the image menu item.

I have downloaded the latest version and when i open a page, it doesn't contain any menu items.

I there something I need to install or do to get the menu (eg add a picture)?

if you see this

the red square is click to add pic.

the other one comes up browse your server for pic.

Thanks for your reply maksbud

I don't get any menu items....I might have to reinstall cmsmadesimple

It's a strange one though, no errors came up when I installed....so unsure why menu items on pages (eg adding an image) don't appear

[Dr.CSS]

I had the same problem with a site,, where I went to add a page and came up with a page that said type with a drop down list, title, menu text, and parent, and template choise, but no box to impute content,, I ended up uploading the module folder and that fixed it. it was quicker than doing a whole reinstall.

thanks maksbud, I will give this a go

reinstalled cmsmadesimple, still no menu so as to load photos into a page. Yet when I go to modules, everything appears fine
FCKeditorX, menu manager, News and theme manager are all installed

When I first opened cms made simple on the site, I did have to change persmissions of modules to 777 so as they would install. I have changed them back to 755

Should I just try reinstalling modules? even though they all appear installed??

I've never (that i can remember) changed permissions after the first time, in fact after i installed my first site on my server i've never had to give permission to any other installs,, see i put each site in it's own folder so my sites are www.multiintech.com/sitename/
such as
  /cmsite/ where i do most of my developmental work
  /ruth/    a web site for my sister in law under development
  /debra/  her mother inlaw ,, unhappy with her current arrangement also under development
  /cmssitemadesimple/  another undr. devl. ,, just be careful what you name them , haven't figured out how to change it afterwards, oh well,

You could try uninstalling and then re-installing FCKeditor from the admin - in Extensions / Modules? Then I would clear out the cache - Admin / Global Settings and finally completely clear all the caches in your browser. Then go back to your website admin and login. You will need Javascipt for FCKeditor to work.

Hope this helps, let us know.

I will give it a go russ, as I said, a previous version of skype is working fine at michaelunwinwines.com.au

Another problem is that three sites I am setting up using cmsmadesimple v 12.1 are all on the same database, any change to one effects all, even if i change the folder names eg cms1 cms2, it still happens. My webhosts is looking into it (for the last three days)!

am i meant to get a '"Curses! Foiled Again!"  message when i delete thememanager module??

I've FTPed individual mod. folders for repairs.

Hi Overlander
Have a look in the root of each web site for the config.php file. Here you can set which database each uses. Change the databse to be differrent for each one, especially if the sites are for different people. If you only have access to one database then you will have to set different prefixes for the each set of tables for each website,  with:-

For web site 1 $config['db_prefix'] = 'cmsdb1_';
For web site 2 $config['db_prefix'] = 'cmsdb2_';
For web site 3 $config['db_prefix'] = 'cmsdb3_';
(or something more meaningfull)

Otherwise they will all use the same database and hence the same tables and the effectively be the same site If this is all too much, the you could cnsider re-installing using the prefix option, when it appears in the install routine. (If it does, it's so long since I did this I forget.)

am i meant to get a '"Curses! Foiled Again!"  message when i delete thememanager module??

Yes

Let us know how you get on.

re installed all modules, I even went in and changed all permissions to 777, still no menu

I am using safari on a mac, also tried on explorer, no different, might be just best to use older version of cmsmadesimple, I think I used .11 last time, and it worked fine

[Russ]

So you are a Mac man like myself, hello I think you'll find it will only work in FireFox / Camino on Mac. I don't think Safari has the Javascript and I think IE Mac is a bit old

Hope this helps, let us know.
