CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello all,

I have a quick question that I want to ask before I try to do anything. I have developed a CMSMS site in a sub-directory (www.mcgillrockstar.com/cmsmadesimple/) and I want to migrate to www.mcgillrockstar.com to replace the old non-cms website. Is there an easy way of doing this???

Thanks ahead of time for your help,
Phil

Move all folders/files from sub to root, change paths in config.php to reflect new urls...

And of course backup all...

Ok thanks a lot I will try that today.

Cheers

I tried that...
I changed the url after $config['root_url']

The old site that is still active is .html to I used www.mysite.com/index.php

but it lost reference to style sheet and images.
I can't find in the template where it references the style sheet.

Anyone?

Herb.

The style sheets are called in the template with {stylesheet} tag...

@herbshirt, what did you do, what all did you change?... do you have a link to the site?...

http://203.98.74.172/~cruicksh/index.php

You'll see I'm also having some (&^%(& IE6 issues at the moment as well.

That's not the site as moved where you have no style sheet is it?...

You may want to change the Line in the template that tells IE the min/max...



#pagewrapper {width:expression(P7_MinMaxW(720,950));}
#container {height: 1%;}

No. it's when I change the config file to the new url I get the problem... I'll do it now so you can see.

I can't find that line of code in the stylesheet?

(and yes dumb me - of course it's called with {stylesheet}!) but that confuses me more about where I change the ref?

Yes you did say 'Template' ...sorry.

I'll have a look but after setting the config file back to the new url and with the problem I'm having I also couldn't access admin so I've had to put it back.

Any suggestions on the config issue? Do I have to change something in the admin config (..scary!)

Thanks a million.

There are numerous places in the config to check for URLs...

#Path Settings

This has a few and...

this has one...

Thanks Mark. Fixed the url/links issue.

FYI,
Still persisting with the IE/width thing. Tried the suggested code with a few extreme different values.. nothing yet.
(eg: http://www.cruickshanks.com.au/index.ph ... ommodation in IE)

You are missing a closing div, , at the end of the template, may be coming from something on that page above it, and you can take the hspace & vspace as they don't do anything and go thru the html for extra html tags that don't do anything, edit page and click HTML button...

If you are using a fixed with site/template you can take the references to min/max in the CSS and the lines for IE in template, just width:880px for pagewrapper will do...

Hi Mark,

Thanks again.

First of all... what program do you use to check things like missing div's? I had already used both Dreamweaver and Topstyle and neither of them visually indicated any code errors. I'm not great at coding, I start with templates, so I rely on those app's to help me as much as possible  .
Also, I'm afraid the suggestions haven't worked yet. I'll keep trying.


update; Can someone tell me where 'Bill' lives so I can go throw eggs on his roof. I HATE IE!!!! I just downloaded the entire site and opened in DW CS3. It told me about the Flash/Object not being considered 'safe' in IE7. Would I like it to add some code so it's compatible, I tried 'Yes'. ... it killed my flash content. Obviously I ditched it.

I've looked (stared) at the template, the stylesheet and the page code since 5am this morning... all because of IE.

I use Firefox with the Web Developers tool bar when I right click to view source I get a window that has html tidy built in, then I copy/paste it into PSPad editor, free, and if I click the it will tell me where the closing is, if none it turns red, very useful for templates...

It's good for cleaning/arranging code in a coherent manner like this...
