my project(s)

Post by gogoguerilla »

I'm working on: http://www.myhomegateway.com/index.php currently.

It's totally in construction mode (and is not yet launched) but mostly in the finishing stages. I'm currently looking for some php/mySQL scripts that will allow me to post "upcoming events" and have front end logins. any suggestions?

Also, I'm having a problem with gaps in the layout described here: http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1712

Ideally, this will be the first of 4 sites all using the same layout - but w/ different color schemes and mostly different content. The sites will all be somewhat interconnected as they are different programs/companies/agencies that work collaboratively.

I'm excited about using phpWCMS - but will be more so when some of the features I need (and will need to get 3rd party) will be included in the full version.

Yay, Oliver!

Hi,
Nice site :D

Abou the 'upcoming events' script! Why not use wcms?
I have something similar and I have defined a category which is visible but not public. Editors will put events with start & enddate plus a keyword 'event'. In the template the replacement tag {NEWS:5:event} is used. This way it will show the latest 5 articles with the keyword 'event'.

Because the category is not made public it isn't shown in the menu structure.

Greetz,

Johan.

Johan,

I'm not quite sure I follow... What is the NEWS replacement tag - I've never heard it mentioned before.

Here's clarification on exactly what I need:

The company holds seminars for people to attend. I need to be able to have a user click on the upcoming event and actually register for it online (or at least fill out a form that'll shoot off an email to someone). If what you mentioned will work, then great; however, I still need some info on what exactly the NEWS tag is and if it works in the header.

Thanks!

Sorry it's not NEWS but the RELATED tag.
So it show's the articles related to the given keyword.

OK, cool... but would the user be able to click the item and be taken to a registration form or something of the sort?

Thanks, again. :)

Yes, it's just an article in a category ...so you can make an email form or what so ever within wcms.

Johan.

PS. When our project site is in final stage I will post an URL.
