CMS Made Simple Forums

CMS version

Hi,

These are my first two cms made simple sites, (actually, the only sites I have ever built using a cms system). I’ve built a few other sites hard coded.

Both need more content; the first has lots of rough parts, but design was the main point

See www.webtactics.com.au and www.behealthy.net.au

Criticism welcome (ok, webtactics site has a small scroll bar at 800x600 – I built the site to 780 pixels which is about 10 to many…).

What I would like a hand on are a number of little things.

1. How do you style the search box? It looks fine in Firefox etc, but IE displays over two lines ruining the effect.
2. How do you install the blog module? I seem to be getting the same error message as a number of people (Fatal error: Class blogmodule:  Cannot inherit from undefined class cmsmodulecontenttype in /hsphere/local/home/exotherm/webtactics.com.au/modules/Blog/Blog.module.php on line 530).

I’m using the CMS Made Simple  1.0.2 "Maui" version. MySQL client version: 4.1.18

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,

Paul

Hey Paul,

Congratulations - both look great.

Thanks webgirl.

Did anyone happen to look at the sites using a Mac? I don't have one to test with (ok, so that is a bit slack, but the way things are at the moment).

Any comments appreciated, as I want the sites to work.

Also, has anyone worked out how to style the search box - mine looks pretty poor in IE. I did try wrapping the div, but this hasn't worked; there seems to be some inherent style in the search code.

Cheers,

Paul

I'm on a mac and I must say.... GREAT!

Infernal Exploder for mac displays completely differently... (don't panic it's still functional and readable) but that's to be expected and I don't code for it anymore either... the line in the sand for mac is KHTML based browsers if it breaks on these you've got problems.

Yes the search box can be styled... there's a div for the form in my case (check the source of yours) #cntnt01moduleform-1 and an id for the search input #cntnt01searchinput the css below puts the search top right with an orange button

#cntnt01moduleform-1 {
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
top: 5px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

#cntnt01moduleform-1 #cntnt01searchinput {
width: 100px;
border: 0 none;
height: 15px;
        background: #FFF;
        color: #333;
}

#cntnt01moduleform-1 input {
border-left: 1px solid #FFB431;
border-top: 1px solid #FFB431;
border-right: 1px solid #B07000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #B07000;
color: #fff;
background: #FFA200;
margin: 1px 0 0 0;
padding-bottom: 3px;
font-size: 10px;
}

.hidden {
        padding: 0;
        margin:0;
}

Hi Rob,

Thank you so much for the css code. A few more tweaks and I’m there.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Paul
