CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi, I have already searched the forum. But could not find a solution. So I‘d appreciate help and already would thank you for it:

I have just installed two new sites for my customers using CMSMS 1.6.3. (www.selbsthilfebeirat-muenchen.de and www.ve-muenchen.de). On both sides I ran into an error with the page numbers in page list view:

Problem 1 (on both sites):
When I add new pages as child-pages I suddenly get "gaps" in the page numbering. E.g. the expected numbering should be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4. But what comes up is a page numbering like 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.6.
This does obviously neither affect any function nor the navigational menu (there are no numbers in the menu). But I don't know if it is a serious problem. And when I introduced my customers to the system I got some questions that I simply couldn't answer properly.
The problem can easily be removed by clicking the move-upward-triangles in page list view until everything is in proper order again.
This problem occurs with Firefox under windows and with Safari under Mac (I have not tried others browsers yet).

Problem 2 (only on site www.selbsthilfebeirat-muenchen.de):
When I set up the side on my mac at home using Firefox and Safari I only had problem 1 as described above. But when I introduced the customer to his site and the admin panel a strange second error occured with page list view, too:
The customer has a mac, too, and we used Firefox there. When I showed him how to edit the content of a page and we just edited some text I had him click "Submit" and when we returned to page list view the page now was a child page of another page. I thought I just might not have noticed the customer playing around on the page. So I fixed the problem and had him repeat the text editing. It happened again – and several times again.
We finally switched to Safari where this problem did not occur again. I have no explanation for that. Please help. (A sidenote: With Firefox I couldn't copy and paste anything in TinyMCE ((neither using the right mouse-button nor any icon nor a key-command)) whereas this worked in Safari, too.)

Thanks for helping

The first thing.... Check with an admin-account if the numbering is correct. (Users will only see pages they have access to), so someone with ALL permissions should see all...

If ordering then really is wrong, use the re-order-pages link and press submit there... Ordering will be recalculated then.

Second thing... As your customer doesnt have ALL permissions, he/she isnt able to put a page just anywhere.... He/she should be additional editor on some pages, and will be able to put children-pages, just below pages that he/she has permission to...

Hi, Ronny,

thanks for the quick reply. The wrong numbering also occured while I was logged in as an admin.
Reordering pages really seems to fix the incorrect numbering. But I still wonder if this is something to worry about or just something neglectable?

My second problem I described above: My customer didn't rearrange the page (I double-checked this). He just edited text. And then the page had "moved itself" from the top-level of the hierarchy to a position as a child page. This only happenend in Firefox. Can you give me any clue what happened or what I can tell my customer about this odd occurence?

Thanks for any idea and further help.

The hierarchy issue is being looked at...

The second issue, on the pages defaulting to another parent, is confirmed.. That is happening when users dont have full permission. I think that the upcoming 1.6.4 will have the fix inside..

Hi, Ronny,

thanks for answering. Now I know that somebody‘s caring about these problems. I will wait for 1.6.4.

Thanks a lot for helping

1.6.4 is just released, and the issue with the parent-page is fixed and included.
