phpwcms Support Forum

tonight luca and me worked on the new version, including:

a) reading multiple images for each page
b) reading multiple articles displayed in a news fashion...
c) menu fixes (yes, always using the hamza fawzi menu, but improved)
d) article heigth resizing for each page
and some other improvements

soon to come: preloaders and some other stuff
release date: possibly sunday or monday

Where can I see a sample/demo of it.
I would love to take a look.

still under work
you wouldn't see much at the moment

be patient, you'll be rewarded

I really think this hack is pretty awesome. I don't use flash but man, if I did, I would be all over this.

is it front end? or back end?
How does it work? ... content components?

only front end, the back end it is fine as is
no components atm, just some way to pull up data from the database and some code (if somebody knows how to do components, fine for me, i'll give him the code).

it's not gonna be swish for phpwcms,.... it's gonna take some actionscripting knowledge at this level... :/

what form are you passing the data?
Is it in numbered variables (faked arrays) version 4 compatable...?
XML?
other?

I would love to see an interface or php file created that could be called by a flash movie to recieve an XML file that describes the menu structure...

ohhh we love screenshots...

and demo sites, and for someone to come around in the evenings to install it all, a knighthood from the queen for services rendered to the internet and an oscar for being beautifull. (there i go, chasing that damned oscar again)

menu, xml
text and stuff with (flash's) LoadVars, straight outta the DB
the menu structure is already complete, and if a menu structure has more than one article, it appears like in a "news" fashion...

tomorrow night i'll have to make the second part of the video shoots for the site (you'll see), and then (i hope) sunday night i'll have my new portfolio ready; if it works, as i hope, i'll just release the second version publicly. Before than that, it's just code, code, code with nothing to screenshot...

XML for the menu
Are you going to release the code?

of course!
it's open source, baby

ok fulvio - i no nada about actionscript but i do know lingo (director's language)
what are the chances the source would/could work in director?
i'm guessing 'nil' so... are there any converters that would do the job that you know of?

Yeah I know director rather well as well.
I am hoping that we can get a simple PHP page that returns an XML file with all the usefull menu data...
that would work great for flash menus... or interfacing director.

the second one dusX told...

there's FCMS v0.1 on ionrock's site, the menu.xml file is more or less just the same and unchanged...try that....
