Launched this a few days ago. CMSMS has been great and very flexible to work with. The one problem with the site I still have to work on is making it a flexible width that will work across browsers. Until then I am stuck with a rather large screen size.

photo gallery not working?

Hmmmm. Looks fine on my end. Any thing wrong in particular other than the layout kind of stinks.

oh ok.. just that when you get to Home > Bartholomew House > Restoration of the Bartholomew House
and then clik on a picture it gives...

Template error

Ahhh....  I see. I just needed to dig down a little deeper. When I rebuilt the site from UIPublish to CMSMS I kept the the photo gallery cms - Coppermine. However I upgraded to the current Coppermine 1.4 version since I was doing a rebuild anyway. Followed the upgrade instructions and looked well on the surface. It appeared that I needed to update my "theme.php" file in my template folder as well. Once that was done it appears to be working just peachy.

Thanks for catching it!

How did you do this in your news:

News | 05/04/06

[myotus]

In Admin mode:
==================
Content > News > Add Category

Create a new News catagory:
for fun we'll call the catagory "Foo"

==================

Go to:
Content > News > Summary Template

...And modify the tag in the "NewsSummaryCategory" div:


{$entry->category} | {$entry->formatpostdate}


"formatpostdate" defaults to %x, which is the default date format for the sever's locale

==================

Then go to:
Content > Pages > (select the page you want the News list to go to...)

{cms_module module="news" number="3" category="Foo" detailpage="Foopage"}

module="news" This calls the News module

category="Foo" This calls the News catagory "Foo"

detailpage="Foopage" Page to display News details in. This can either be a page alias or an id. Used to allow details to be displayed in a different template from the summary. (you will need to create "Foopage" in "Content > Pages > Add New Content")

Hope this helps. (...and makes some sense).

I guess my question was a little simpiler than was thought. I just didnt' know how you were getting the "News | Date" next to each other on the same line and grayed. Now I see. I thought I had tried that, but I guess I missed something. Thanks for the info.

Hi - I like your site. The content, too.

I am webmistress of http://www.daes.dk - The Danish Egyptological Society - and playing around with cmsms to get a better cms. I want to put images and slideshows in, too. My webhotel supports coppermine.

So I will dare to ask: how did you do it? Is there an instruction at coppermines website? I don't find anything here.

And do your solution support pretty urls?

At the moment my tst-site uses flickr - http://tst.daes.dk/index.php?page=foto but without slideshow.

And since I'm not a proper programmer (although my slogan is: If you read hieroglyphs, html is transparent like nile-water (sounds better in danish)), I find modifing the database-integration in the templates a little hard.

Yours, elin

Hi _Joe!

Site looks great! I liked the A- and A+ at bottom of page, till I clicked the A+ and nothing happened, and both buttons disappeared.  I'm using Mac + Firefox.

The one problem with the site I still have to work on is making it a flexible width that will work across browsers. Until then I am stuck with a rather large screen size.

I found a great site yesterday which shows you table-less CSS [liquid CSS] and covers how to have a site for ALL BROWSERS!  A great read - about 10 short pages with images, you might pick up some tips :
