New CMSMS Scout Troop site
Check out our website for Boy Scout Troop 74 in Akron, OH www.troop74.net
CMSMS has been a godsend. Hopefully one of these days I'll be as proficient as many of you. Until then I'll keep hacking away at it. This really is a lot of fun!
CMS Version
1.8.2
Installed Modules
CMSMailer
2.0
News
2.10.6
GoogleMaps
0.1.8
GoogleMaps has been a learning experience for sure. Because of the template I am using, the links and text in the InfoWindow were way to light to read. After alot of searching and stumbling around I finally soved this. I added the following to the end of my stylesheet:
.gmap
{
color: #000 !important;
}
.gmap, .gmap a, .gmap a:visited
{
text-decoration:none;
color: #5750B2;
}
.gmap, .gmap a:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
color: #333333;
}
I then had to modify the map.tmp file and added to the map section. (I'm trying to write this from memory) Anyway, that did the trick. My only issue now is getting the markers to use the correct shadows (they do exist!) and getting the markers to appear centered on the map when they are clicked on.

Re: New CMSMS Scout Troop site
Very Nice...
I love it when someone can pick up this system and make such a nice site and never have to post a question in the forum...
But, and there's always a but
, you have an empty UL for some reason in the home page, might want to run the whole site thru a validator...

Re: New CMSMS Scout Troop site
glad to see it being used, after the download counter stopped on the themes site one never knows if the theme is being used or not.
I was going to upload more of those themes but didn't know if people wanted them or not...

Great job on this one. I had to make a few tweaks here and there but really love it. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Re: New CMSMS Scout Troop site
Very nice site. Can I ask what calendar/events module you're using?

Re: New CMSMS Scout Troop site
I am using Plans Calendar http://www.planscalendar.com/. I really like the way events were displayed accross multiple days and it was very customizable. Of course it took some tweaking on my end but I'd be happy to assist if interested.elkman wrote: Very nice site. Can I ask what calendar/events module you're using?

Re: New CMSMS Scout Troop site
Would love to turn this into a module for CMSMS. The product is no longer supported unfortunately.blackhawk wrote: Nice Calendar system!
