Can I overide the template that is allocated to each section of the site structure by using raw PHP? For example, say I added a script that detected the Opera browser. Could I then change the homepage template from 'example_template' to 'opera_template' using a conditional statement like: if($isOper...

Many thx flip-flop. Didn't spot that.

If this could be read by a module to do some stats it would be great, provided the records are based on form submissions and not just hits.

I have a few sites running PHPWCMS 1.3.9 and noticed the 'phpwcms_imgcache' table filling up fast.

In config I have cache 'off' but is this the same cache?

I exported a database recently and came across the 'phpwcms_formtracking' table. It was quite large. What exactly is this recording? -- Edit -- OK, I can see from the server log it's recording requests for the contact form. There are in some cases several concurrent requests. Is this triggered on an...

That's great news Oliver. Many thx.

I don't suppose anyone has found a way of getting this feature to work with Flash 10 plugin yet? Also, does anyone know if it is even possible to fix? (I mean is it worth me trying to hack the code myself). It's just that a client of mine asked me if it was broke for good and I'm not sure what to te...

You create one site structure as usual, but add tags to the structure names, e.g. [en]Home[/en][de]Startseite[/de][fr]Accueil[/fr] And then do the same with articles, e.g. Title: [en]Welcome[/en][de]Wilcommen[/de][fr]Bonjour[/fr] WYSIWYG Text: [en]Our extensive range of equipment from leading manufa...

A site with 10 language options is going to be an interesting challenge I think! It may not be suitable for this project, but the PHPWCMS 1.39+ built-in multilanguage feature is great. To summarise the instructions: In '/config/phpwcms' Open 'conf.inc.php' Change: $phpwcms['allowed_lang'] = array('e...

The Flash 10 plugin is a piece of garbage. If you Google it, you'll find that it broke features in Joomla, WordPress, Drupal and now PHPWCMS. I'm sure that Flash designers love it, but it delivered nothing of value to most people and screwed things up for lots of people. Adobe should be ashamed of t...

OK. If you want to allow ordinary users to cut, copy and paste articles: include/inc_act/act_structure.php line 43 change: if($_SESSION["wcs_user_admin"] == 1) { to: if(($_SESSION["wcs_user_admin"] == 1) || ($_SESSION["wcs_user_admin"] == 0)) { This doesn't appear to af...

Can anyone point me at the code that sets the permissions for the cut/copy article function? I'm trying to find it, but having no luck at present.

PHPWCMS 1.3.9

I have discovered that Admin users can copy and paste articles from the Article screen, but ordinary users cannot?.

Anyone know a fix?

I always had the 'accept invalid cookie path=' issue when testing sites using Lynx with PHPWCMS 1.28 and earlier (even on localhost with no Apache redirect). The set cookies were: Cookie: bb2_screener_ . Content: 1232606733+127.0.0.1 Cookie: PHPSESSID Content: 2b5fc1d96a8... With the current version...

The idea of groups on the admin side certainly appeals to me. Recently, a 'normal' user employed by one of my clients went on holiday and my client wanted to be able to edit their articles (they had published something incorrectly). To resolve the issue I had to give admin status to another 'ordinar...

This is IE being (typically) pedantic about height and width values. A width will do in this case. You need to do the math based on the width of your particular menu. phpwcms_template/inc_css/specific/nav_list_ul_vcss.css Say the width value of your 'vcss_menu li ul class' is 229px. The default padd...
