how do I.............

Barb54

I have a dl'd cms that contains a WYSIWYG for making webpages online on the fly. I chose it because I will need that feature for certain users later on.

I am developing my own scripts to "addon" to it. They have no help for this yet. I need to be able to have my scripts/forms/reports to show up in the same area as all other webpages on the site for uniformity.

The Modules area seems to be the clue here. It has a Left, Menu, Right and they each have an id#. The html pages for the cms are stored in the database except for the main.html. Mine are not because the WYSIWYG will strip out the php tags.

Can someone point me in the right direction for the code to link my pages to the correct Module id#? OR, is there some other way to get my pages to show up in the Menu Module?

example: I have application.php and an insert.php that will let people join instead of me having to add them to the database. I will also have views of the info in the tables that I have added to the existing database. I want all of these to show up in the Menu Module area of the website.

I have not been able to get help from the develper of this package to date so any help would be greatly appreciated. It's a really good package for my needs.

Thanks in advance,
Barb

Hi,
Just hoping someone can help me with this as I am about to give up lol. I didn't want to have to build from scratch but it looks like I may have to.

Thanks,
Barb

what package did you download?

I downloaded freeWPS from SourceForge.net. They just put out an updated version that I am having probs with. All the table schema has changed so I am having to set up all my modules and pages AGAIN, lol. I ended up doing a fresh install on my local to get it ready for uploading to my site online.

Aside from that it's a great program and I love it. I just need to get my own php scripts to show up in the right place for members AND non-members.

Thanks,
Barb

Well, after looking at their online demo...i'd have to look at the code to find the place where they strip out php and modify it so it doesn't for you. Then, you may be able to do php in the pages....hmmm....or link it up another way like you said..

Hi MT,
You 'can' make all your pages with the online WYSIWYG and then they are added to the database. When I try to paste in a coded form in the "source" format it won't work. The only answer I have ever gotten from them was when their forums were still active at SourceForge. Then I finally searched their forums for help and found that for some reason the old WYSIWYG was stripping out the php tags for some reason and it wasn't designed to allow them I guess. He switched over to HTMLArea in the 2.0 version and it still won't work or either I am doing something wrong.

Either way, I can't seem to get any help from them :-(. So I either need to plan on building from scratch or find an answer soon because my members are crying for abilities I can't give them yet. I guess that's one way to dive into php/mysql, lol. I already have a few scripts my members are using but they are "separate" from the main website which is yuckky in my book. I'm not much of a designer anyway, lol. I am new to ALL of this.

Thanks for your response.

Even if you did manage to paste in the php, from the looks of it it would not get parsed.

I would suggest creating a new page similar to admin.php where you make the content in a function and assign it to the create_page function like below

$pgcontent = get_adminpanel();			// Set $pgcontent to the admin panel.
    createpage($pgcontent,'',_NAMEOFPAGE);

function get_adminpanel(){
//
}

where _NAMEOFPAGE is defined in LANG-FREEWPS.PHP

or you can just put in a string.

HTH

Thanks MTM, I will give that a shot. He finally answered me on his forums and said to do it like the Search form BUT he also said it won't like any "hidden" fields, so that is a BIG issue in my book. Hidden fields will be there on my forms.

I will try it your way and if I run into probs I will post back. It will be a day at least b4 I have a chance to get back to it. Sorry :-( but other things take precedence like family lol.

Thanks again for your help! I appreciate you taking the time to look at the program for me. That is soooo awesome! You don't know how much I appreciate that!
