HELP so frustrated

No problem, we can walk you through the process.

So you created an "About Us" section, right? Start by just saving the "Page Viewer" code in a new file such as "about_us_test.php". Make sure your file ends with .php or else the viewer code can't run.

Give that a try and let me know how it goes. And post a link to your current test viewer if you can, it might help me figure out what the problem is.

Hope that helps, talk to you soon. :)

Oh I did that too here you go http://sscloft.exedor.net/about_usList.php

but what I really want is the people to just edit a section of a page the text on this page lets say

http://sscloft.exedor.net/

thanks

And you've clicked on "About Us" in the menu and saved some content there and it still doesn't show up?

That's really strange nothing is showing up. I can login and take a look if you like, just email FTP and CMS login details to dave@interactivetools.com (email only, don't post login details in forum) and I'll get it sorted out for you.

Sorry you're having problems, I'm sure we can get you back on track soon! :)

Dave I sent in a support request last night with all that information in it ....can you locate that?

Hi thenetgirl,

Thanks for sending in that ticket. I logged in and had a look. It looks like somehow a big block of code from about_usList.php got removed. It was the "STEP1" code. I copied and pasted the code from the program again and it seems to be working. See here:

http://sscloft.exedor.net/about_usList.php
http://sscloft.exedor.net/about_usPage.php?About_Us-1/

Usually if you're going to have a single page editor with just one record you only need to create the "page viewer" so you'd just use this:

http://sscloft.exedor.net/about_usPage.php

And you can rename that file anything you like. It does need to have a php extension though (although their are some tricks to have your web server treat .html as .php if need).

The "list viewer" is when you want multiple pages. One with a list of records (such as news releases, jobs, or events) and then a second page that shows the details about a specific news item, job, or event.

You might check with the html editor you're using. Some html editors will automatically try and reformat html code and accidentally remove blocks of html comments or php tags.

So the first thing to check into is how to copy and paste the code intact. Maybe try cutting and pasting and creating another page viewer. Just give it a name different from about_usPage.php (maybe about_usPage2.php). Once that's working, you can start adding fields to match your site and customizing the design.

I hope that helps. Please keep us up to date with your progress and let me know when you need more help! :)

Thanks Dave for the help ..finally got my little bit of php knowledge to figure out how to get a php page up.

I am still having so many issues though----- Why does it say you can post these images any where

but at the same time it says <!-- STEP1: Load Record (Paste this above other step) -->

I have a table - 2 cells photo on the left and text on the right. the text side works but the photo wont show Is it becuase its above STEP 1 in the code???

I am on a deadline with this site and I am getting no where fast.

http://sscloft.exedor.net/2.php

Just move the <?php ... ?> block inside step 1 above every thing else. It can even be at the top of the page if needed.

When is your deadline and what section are left to do?

Let me know if you need some help and I can login and take a look at 2.php for you.

Deadline is friday and their are many pages. I left a message for you to call I think I will have to pay you to help me.

Thanks
Patricia
