CMS Made Simple Forums

I installed the file. I still don't have that keyword.php file, everytime I try to enter a new content page it says I'm missing it.

And I egt this error at the top of the homepage:

string(126) "Smarty error: [in template:22 line 75]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'cms_selflinking' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 583)" string(126) "Smarty error: [in template:22 line 78]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'cms_selflinking' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 583)

OH sorry that error comes from a tag modification I made if you look in the template at the bottom you will see a line about it just change it to cms_selflink and it will use the default next/previous links...

I see no keyword.php in the default 1.0.2 CMSMS install...

This is the keyword.php error that shows up when I click on "new content".

Not found
The requested URL /keyword.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Okay, I put a new template on my main website. The one I'll be using this on. I didn't use your template becasue frankly I haven't a clue how to customize it. I can put it on my site, but I don't know how to make it work with my layout like you did.
So I just put my own html layout in there.

I just want this menu to work. That's it. Please, someone, just tell me how to make this menu work.

It's so frustarting to know what I want and not be able to do it myself. I'd really appreciate an easy to understand explanation here. I'm techincally challanged in case you haven't noticed, so I need you to explain it like I'm five. (okay maybe not five, but you get my drift)

Thank you in advance. I apologize if I'm being a pest. I just can't get my site up untill this menu works and it's driving me nuts.

I am so sorry. I just now found that 'theme' link you mentioned, i thought you ment to look for it on YOUR site, so I never thought it would be on the example you made of mine.

I just saved it and applied it as a template and holy cow, it works!!

Thank you so much. I feel like such a dip. You did the whole thing for me and there it was just waiting for me to realize it.

Anyway, thank you again and I apologize for being so dense that I didn't understand what you were talking about at first.

Hi, I've decided to give this a go, as it looks like just what I wanted. I've installed it on my localhost server, and written my own liquid template in strict xhtml using css (read lots of good books). Set the template up, added several tags which seem fine except the {menu} tag. I first added the tag as per the flash animation, then tried {menu} without luck. Yet to learn php so am at a loss so far. The navigation is just an unordered list displayed inline, styled with colors and rollover effects using css. Works fine in the browsers I've tried and has passed validation. Sorry to ask the same question, but I don't know how to make the tag pick up the style attributes from the css, after browsing for one. I would like the navigation with the pages at the top, and links down the side as per your template if poss.

Also the flash animation is a bit vague re copying image locations (amending the registry?) Is uploading an image file and using that file address the best/correct way of doing this?

Thanks in advance 

Do you have a link?...

As for images they are generally put in the uploads/images folder then the call would be uploads/images/image.jpg, you can put them in another folder inside images uploads/images/newFolder then add that to the path...

For horiz. menus use  li {float:left}...

To get specific links to have rollover you will need to add some class or id to the links...

Some Image map menu samples are available on my site...

Hi Mark,

thanks for the feedback. The cmsms is on my own PC, and only I'm allowed on my intrantet  Re the links, they work, but not as yet with the tag. I just added the tag as per the flash animation e.g.

{menu}


I assume there is more to it than just that then...?

The {menu} tag is so it looks in your page list and makes an ul li out of what it finds and that tag uses the simple_navigation.tpl if you require a diff. one you will call it in the tag {menu template='cssmenu.tpl'}...

To get it to look a certain way you can attach a stylesheet for the menu, go to Layout » Templates and click the orange CSS button now you have a list of the attached CSS for the template, the drop down lists all the CSS you can use, find one that corresponds to what you need i.e., for a horiz drop down menu like the menu tag above you need 'Navigation: CSSMenu - Horizontal' once you know that's going to give you the desired results but you want to style it diff. go to Layout » Stylesheets and across from the one you will use click the dbl. paper looking button to make a copy then attach it to your template and make the changes to suit your styles this way you can mess it up and still have an original to fall back on...

My main site has 221 stylesheets to choose from...

Thanks for that, I've done it and now have a working nav. I used the menu style from 'top sample nav+left subnav+ 1 column'. The only problem now is when I click on the pages I get this info on the buttons 'Current page is 2: How CMSMS Works', whereas 'How CMSMS Works' would suffice as per the template. How do I edit it to show just the page title? Thanks again

In the default install is a CSS called tools it should have a line that says dfn {something} I've posted it before if you search for it you will get the full style call or just attach that sheet to your template to push these out of site, they are used for screen readers...
