Frog CMS

Resuscitating FrogCMS

Yep, “it works for small things” is a good way to look at it. What I love about it is the modular approach, it’s almost just a framework. I see the activity is kind of low on the boards… Too bad.

Sessions and php files

Make the script a plugin :P or include the config file, but this is not the best option.

$(”.album_p”).widont is not a function

This means that the js file is not loaded. I’ll check the paths.

No problem. Hope it works.

I will expect reply about the fix :)

problem PHP, snippet

Hello jellepals. It seems you have a problem with $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]. This points you to index because PHP_SELF points to the filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root, which in your case is index.php .
A simple solution is to replace this :

ACTION=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "\"

With:

ACTION=\"" . BASE_URL.$this->slug . ".html\"

I hope I didn’t messed up the quotes.

installation failed: 500 Internal Server Error

It seems that you have some wrong php code there. Can you make me a admin account for the backend ? Or show me the code from Articles page.

How to make a custom install package?

You can make a update.php file, which will contain your extra DB stuff. Example:

<?php include("config.php");
$__CONN__ = new PDO(DB_DSN, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
$sql = "INSERT INTO table_name bla bla";
$stmt = $__CONN__->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();

But with the raw modified files, you have to copy paste them, because you will mess permissions up on a real server, and that sucks belive me.

A nicer Looking Comments Plugin?

You can try this, not tested :) but should work.
Go to Snippets and look for comment-form , click on it so the editor comes up. This is what you should find :

<form action="<?php echo $this->url(); ?>" method="post" id="comment_form"> 
<p>
	<input class="comment-form-name" type="text" name="comment[author_name]" id="comment_form_name" value="" size="22" /> 
	<label for="comment_form_name"> name (require)</label>
</p>
<p>
	<input class="comment-form-email" type="text" name="comment[author_email]" id="comment_form_email" value="" size="22" /> 
	<label for="comment_form_email"> email (will not be published) (required)</label>
</p>
<p>
	<input class="comment-form-link" type="text" name="comment[author_link]" id="comment_form_link" value="" size="22" /> 
	<label for="comment_form_link"> website</label>
</p>
<p>
	<?php captcha(); ?>
</p>
<p>
	<textarea class="comment-form-body" id="comment_form_body" name="comment[body]" cols="100%" rows="10"></textarea>
</p>
<p>
	<input class="comment-form-submit" type="submit" name="commit-comment" id="comment_form_submit" value="Submit comment" />
</p>
</form>

The first step is to get the jQuery (my choice) library. Here’s a online hosted one :

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

Now you have to write the hide/show code for your comment form.

<script type="text/javascript">
	//<![CDATA[
		$(function() {
			$("#comment_form").hide();
			$("#add_comment").click(function() {
				$("#comment_form").animate({ opacity: 'toggle' });
			});
		});
	//]]>
</script>

The thing is I hide the comment form through javascript, so if a user has JS disabled, he will see the form. If you will hide it from css with display:none and JS is off, the user is unable to use the form. You get the idea.

Now we have to add a button to display the form on click event. It has to match the id : #add_comment ( if you need another id please replace it in the JS provided ).

<a href="#comment_form" id="add_comment" title="Add a new comment">Add comment</a>

And here is the full code, at last :

<a href="#comment_form" id="add_comment" title="Add a new comment">Add comment</a>
<form action="<?php echo $this->url(); ?>" method="post" id="comment_form"> 
<p>
	<input class="comment-form-name" type="text" name="comment[author_name]" id="comment_form_name" value="" size="22" /> 
	<label for="comment_form_name"> name (require)</label>
</p>
<p>
	<input class="comment-form-email" type="text" name="comment[author_email]" id="comment_form_email" value="" size="22" /> 
	<label for="comment_form_email"> email (will not be published) (required)</label>
</p>
<p>
	<input class="comment-form-link" type="text" name="comment[author_link]" id="comment_form_link" value="" size="22" /> 
	<label for="comment_form_link"> website</label>
</p>
<p>
	<?php captcha(); ?>
</p>
<p>
	<textarea class="comment-form-body" id="comment_form_body" name="comment[body]" cols="100%" rows="10"></textarea>
</p>
<p>
	<input class="comment-form-submit" type="submit" name="commit-comment" id="comment_form_submit" value="Submit comment" />
</p>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	//<![CDATA[
		$(function() {
			$("#comment_form").hide();
			$("#add_comment").click(function() {
				$("#comment_form").animate({ opacity: 'toggle' });
			});
		});
	//]]>
</script>

I hope this helps, have a nice day.

Hello Lilly,

I will take a look and release a fix for this. Thanks for notifying me about this bug.

Changing 'public' folder functionality

This is more related to your theme I think. You can always use this the <base> tag to overcome this. Example for your question :

<head>
<base href="/public/" />
<link href="css...>
</head>
<body>
<img src="example.jpg" />
</body>

Where the css… and example.jpg files are in the public folder.
