Is there a way to add spell check to the wysiwyg on cms builder. Also it is not showing my pictures on the news page but if you click the link for more info it shows them there. However it just shows thumbnails and you can't click on them to enlarge. PLEASE HELP.
Can you also change the font color for the title and date.

Here is the link.

Hi grauchut, welcome aboard!

>Is there a way to add spell check to the wysiwyg on cms builder.

There's no spellcheck for the wysiwyg, I'll add that to the feature request list for you and do some research on it.

>Also it is not showing my pictures on the news page but if you click the link for more info it shows them there.

Pictures (uploads) aren't displayed on the list page by default but you can use the same code from the "Page Viewer". Just copy the block called "STEP3: Display Uploads" into your "List Viewer" where your other record fields are.

>However it just shows thumbnails and you can't click on them to enlarge.

You can copy and paste some of the tags around to add links to the images. Try adding this around the <img ... > tags:

<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>"><img ... ></a>

>Can you also change the font color for the title and date.

The way to do that in classic HTML would be to surround whatever you want to change with <font> tags, like this:

<font color="red"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></font>

Hope that helps! :)

You bet, just add target="_blank" to the tag, like this:

<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" target="_blank"><img ... ></a>

Once again I am being a pain. How do I get it to show the caption of each photo? Thanks so much your support is the best.
Also is it possible to have the images on in a pop up window within the same page. Thanks again. Glenn

The field editor lets you define up to 5 extra "info" fields for uploads with "title" and "caption" setup by default. So if you have those default settings you can display the caption like this (just paste this somewhere in the "show uploads" code block).

<?php echo $upload['info2'] ?>

>Also is it possible to have the images on in a pop up window within the same page.

I think what you want is something like lightbox2. It's a free script that we use on our own website that shows the images "on top" of the page. There is a demo, free download, and install instructions here: http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

Let me know if you get stuck with it and I'll try to give you a hand.

Where can I find the show upload code?

It's the block of code created for the "Page Viewer" that lists the uploads for a field. It starts like this: "STEP3: Display Uploads...". It's the one we were working on earlier with the variables that look like this: $upload['urlPath'], etc.

Hope that makes sense.

You can use a break tag <br/> to make it go to the next line. Like this:

<img ... ><br/>
<?php echo $upload['info2'] ?>

Everything is working GREAT. Is there a way I can link the main images on the first page (AKA Index.html) to the page related to the incident. I currently have the link to each incident under the narrative. I would like to keep that link but also link the images. Here is the page

Thanks again for you great support. Glenn

Nevermind I got it to work.
