CMS Made Simple Forums

I am using xammp with CMSMS 0.12-beta2 .

My goal is to get the examples of CustomContent working.

I installed from SVN
FrontEndUsers 1.0.0
SelfRegistration 1.0.3
CustomContent 1.4.0
UserID 0.3.5

I need help with two issues.
A.) UserID : I know there is something wrong with my setup. Please see attached image.
I tried UserID 0.35, 0.33 downloaded from SVN and also used the tar. 
For some reason I see SVN in the UserID module ... Any ideas ?

B.) Am I correct to assume that Users/groups created by module SelfRegistration will be used
by CustomContent and not the groups (admin/editor/designer) created for cmsms.

I have enabled permissions for all the modules.
I just cannot seem to get CustomContent working for me any advice and tips on how to do this would be greatly appreciated..


I want to thank everyone in advance for helping me out.

HI I thought I'd correct you on a couple of issues.

a) FrontEndUsers replaces UserId, you don't need both
b) SelfRegistration only works with FrontEndusers
c) Later versions of CustomContent only work with FrontEndUsers

incase your confused, the work flow is:
i) create the properties (fields) that you want for each group
ii) associate the properties with the groups
iii) (optional) create users for each group (or use selfreg)

Here's an example syntax that should work:
{cms_module module=SelfRegistration group="somegroupname"}
{cms_module module=FrontEndUsers}
{cms_module module=CustomContent}

I don't know who you are!

Patricia,
The mistake was mine. Sorry to bother everyone with this. I corrupted the language file
when I downloaded it from the url above. There are no errors it just looks bad.

Calguy1000,
Thank you for giving the work flow and example. It works exactly as expected. I realize this is still a development module and part of a much larger project. Here are some quirks I noticed.


Background
I got CMSMailer 1.73.9 to send emails using mercury with xammp.
So I assumed SelfRegistration would use CMSMailer which it does - but gets stuck at.
FrontEndUsers.api.php
Line 706:    if( getmxrr($domain, $mxhost ) ) with function getmxrrr not defined -

I got the feeling that SelfRegistration is very much dependent on emails eventhough
I got the impression somewhere on the forum that email was not necessary to register.

Not a big issue for most people not using m$ windows.
I reinstalled  everything on linux with much better results


I am using SelfRegistration 1.0.3 from svn.

The quirk I am noticing is the FrontEnd User does not define an email property by default only a username property. So to get FrontEnd User Management to talk to SelfRegistration I defined on
field with an email property and bang ! they example you gave above began working 

The stuff that does not work for me are:
a.) checkbox in Self Registration Module | Preferences
ii.) Require users to enter their email address twice:
--Add Me - module://cmsms/SelfRegistration string:error_nosecondemailaddress--
I think if I could display another email textbox then it may work - The cool thing is
it uses the email property field defined in FrontEnd User to validate the email.

In CustomContent 1.4.0 I have a few quick questions.
a.) Can I or Should I use more than one {cms_module module=CustomContent} or put everything in one big if-elseif-elseif-endif at the top of the page. I am having problems when I add stuff like. b.) I am thinking of using Smarty tags because it's visually easier on the eye when writing articles instead of the embedded comments. I noticed errors when i try to use some tags such as.
syntax error: unrecognized tag 'customcontent_loginname' ... I can probably do without this tag but
the if-elseif content separation is what I need.

Calguy thank you for all the work you put in and the support on these modules.
This stuff is great, still trying to figure out how this works. Don't know how you do it.
have a great day !

How can I add CustomContent to the menu system so only certain groups are presented with the appropiate menu. I am assuming a top level menu blocked off as such will block sub-menus below.
Mucho gracias

Well, you coulld wrap the menu stuff in custom content tags.

i.e:

Hello,

i'll try to use smarty variables like customcontent_loginname, but it doesn't work... this is my error message :

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 3]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'customcontent_loginname' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580) in /home/3181270888/www/web/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

i'm using this code (exemple of the help of customcontent) :

{cms_module module=CustomContent}
{if customcontent_loggedin}
  Welcome {customcontent_loginname}
{/if}

somebody has already succeeds in using this tag?

thanks?

JG

Those tags aren't working properly yet, I'd work with the other tags.

oky, thanks...
