phpwcms Support Forum

I assume it must be a typo but I'm a little concerned about just diving in if I've got the wrong files.

To be honest, I love phpwcms but the challenges involved in staying up-to-date almost make me want to try another CMS.

Can anyone verify if we've found the right files?

I've spent a few hours trying to find the correct way to upgrade a older install of phpwcms up to the current version. I have searched the forums for hours and checked out the upgrade information on the docu site but have found myself in doubt that I have the combination of files and instructions to ...

I just tried the shopping cart mod. The docs are great and the cart (and small cart) are very clean looking with the existing templates. The install was pretty easy as well.

A couple of things I've noticed and I'm hoping someone else has encountered them and/or made a fix:

1) I can't seem to get ...

That's a good idea! By the way, how did you get it to do that on purpose?

I actually just cut-and-paste the HTML that's generated by the menu into the left template (after a few line breaks). Pretty simple--of course it won't automatically update if I change certain parameters on the menu but ...

On this page , the menu is not wide enough and wraps the text. That causes the menu to have a large empty gap between "this site" and "support us".


It might be confusing but the "support us" is actually intended to be separated like that to help it stand out and not be confused with the rest of ...

The table with menu is set to 100% - just take a look.


That table was inside another table whose width was set to 100. But, I changed it to see if it would help. I'm not seeing the "bug" right now but I don't see it everytime.

Thanks for the help--let me know if it's fixed for you!

Thanks ...

It's because table width is set to 100% and this is how browser renders the page - this table goes first and fits entire layout until the rest of the code is built.
IE in another hand doesn't show the table until it's downloaded entirely...right?

I'm not sure about that. The table has a column ...

After a few months, I've converted a 100 page site over to phpWMCS:

http://www.wprc.org/


Some of my favorite things about phpWCMS:
- Easy to use and setup
- Looks good out of the box
- Easy to customize and change the look (doesn't LOOK like a CMS)
- Great support here at this group
- It ...

I thought I could workaround this issue by making lots of directories in the site structure. Unforunately, then the automatic summaries that are generated by phpWCMS are then lost since there are no articles in the "main directory". Let me explain with a diagram.

Before:

Vars you want to use anywhere has to be brought to the $GLOBALS array first.

I think that thread is actually the opposite if what I'm trying to do. Isn't that for making my local variables in my function global so that any PHP function can use them?

What I'm looking for is a way to access the ...

After trying the "virtual" method suggested in this topic and coming across the same issue that the results of the CGI scripts are placed at top of the screen instead of in the content area where they "should" go I set out to find a better way.

I thought I had come across a smooth way of calling a ...

Odd...it should work. Can you post your entire .htaccess file? Are other commands in your .htaccess file working properly? Do you have your .htaccess file in the "root" web directory?

Is there a way to get a URL for an article that doesn't change even if the article moves in the site structure? I thought maybe something like index.php?id=52 would always get me article number 52 but that doesn't seem to work.

I'm sure there must be a way. I've thought about giving every article ...

This redirect instruction in the .htaccess file doesn't work on my site. :( I use http://www.paffen.nl/verzekeringen where http://www.paffen.nl/verzekeringen.phtml is an existing category.

What is wrong?

Try adding a "/" after the "directory" entry like this:

redirect 301 /testing45/ http ...

I am having the exact same issue and would also like to hear answers to the questions above. I also give people or other websites links like http://www.domain.com/category that redirect to http://www.domain.com/category.phtml

I think you should be able to accomplish exactly what you want with an ...
