Notice: CMS Builder v1.16 & v1.17 released! (June 5th) Can't Post

Hello all!

We've just released v1.16 with some new features and many improvements and bug fixes.

Some of the new features include:
- Editors: Administrators can now change the creator or "owner" of records
- Viewers: Updated urls to use dashes instead of underscores for better search rankings (SEO)
- Section Editors: New "Add Menu" popup menu for creating menus
- Section Editors: Added new "Categories" menu type (beta) - category code generator coming soon
- WYSIWYG: The wysiwyg language can now be specified in Admin > Regional Settings
- WYSIWYG: Added language packs for: Spanish, Dutch, German and Norwegian
- Websites: Added /sampleTemplates/realty-simple/ with sample templates and schema for Realty website

The category menu type is an exciting new development. You can now create records in a category/subcategory tree structure. This automatically makes additional fields such as "depth" available that you can use to specify different classes or designs based on the category depth.

Note that we don't have a code generator for this yet so it's more of a beta feature for advanced users at this point but we'll be building on it with upcoming releases.

For a full list of changes, visit the CMS Builder changelog:

See you in the forum! :)

And only hours later... v1.17. Special thanks to Peter for reporting an error that appears when you erase a record on some servers.

If you just upgraded to v1.16 you only need to download the files attached to this thread: http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/P62782/

Otherwise, you can use the download links in the above post.

Here's what's new:
- Section Editors: Fixed bug where erasing record caused error.
- Code Library: Added new function: getListOptions($tablename, $fieldname) to load pulldown list options

The getListOptions makes it easy to display the same list of values as you have in a list field but in a webpage. It works like this:


Code
<?php foreach (getListOptions('tablename', 'fieldname') as $value => $label): ?> 
... display $value and $label here as pulldown or something else ...
<?php endforeach; ?>


It's useful in cases such as when you have a list of categories and you want to display them as a pulldown in the editor, but also as menu choices on the website.

Hope that helps, any questions please let us know! :)
