CMS Made Simple Forums

I am having an unusual problem that perhaps is related to timeouts? where if I have more than one content block (and using the FCKeditorX WYSIWYG editor) then when I attempt to edit a Page contents, it takes a long time to render the page, but actually never finishes (clock continues to run) and then the content from the Options and Preview tabs appears on the Main tab window.  That is, until I click one of those tabs, then return to Main, and everything is right again?  This occured in IE and Firefox.  Any ideas what might be causing it?  is it a general problem, a server performance problem, or perhaps should I be checking more closely for some extraneous code in my templates?

The same problem occurs with the default template: CSSmenuTop  2 columns and also occurs in two different websites (on the same server) that use different default / custom templates.

thanks for any ideas you might have.  All the best, Wayne

f**ck editor is bloated and slow, its a known thing we cant do much about (you can bug fckeditor devs about that

or try tinymce folks have told that its much faster...

thank you, I was thinking that's what it may be.  On certain templates, for the ease of my editors, I have created several content blocks and that slows it down considerably, though with the fckeditor turned off, it hums along much better (and no timeouts). 

I will try the other editor.

Is there a simple way for me to change the default size of the content block input text block fields in the Admin Panel?  I have content blocks that only require, say one line, but each time it opens a large block.  Which file/style would contain the parameters for the standard box, and could it be changed to auto size?

thank you!

{content block="titleblock" oneline="true"} 

block="***" can be any name you want...

oneline="true"  creates a single line textarea I use it for titles to content blocks...


{content block="content2title" oneline="true"}
{content block="content2"}

Content2title:  shows up with single line textarea above

Content2:  normal edit box...

Going to Extensions » Tags and clicking help, or the word content in newer CMSMS, will show all the parameters for this tag...

thank you!  I saw that parameter and forgot about it, having just spent only 3 days or so coming up to speed with CMSMS and creating two sites had my head twirling a bit.

You can see one of the sites I am working on here (very basic);

http://the-doctors-office.ca.c1.previewmysite.com

If anyone needs hosting that accommodates CMSMS well, and provides for a true hybrid PHP/ASP native solution, email, from a fast larger server farm (bluegenesis) and all the bells and whistles, I will be providing it as a reseller, just email me. I charge a straight US$200 per year, more than some, less than most - 24/7 telephone support, and me as a back-up admin

Is there any way to specify the order in which the content blocks are presented on the Page edit page?

I think its the order they are found in the template...

I have the same rendering problem, but only in FF - not in IE.
