Frog CMS

Make all pages the same layout at once?

Nevermind, a friend of mine helped me…I used the following command in SQL:

UPDATE `database_name`.`table_name` SET `column_name` = ‘layoutid’

Sidebar tabs pulling different layouts?

I am wanting to add additional tabs to my layout other than just one sidebar. These additional tabs will be sidebars to another template and so I am wanting to use a different template than the template being used by the regular default sidebar. Is that possible?

Author listed in RSS feed (does code still work)?

Tried the code that David gave me but it looks to be not working anymore:

<?php $creator = $item->get_item_tags('http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/','creator'); echo $creator[0]['data']; ?>

RSS Parser?

Ok, I changed the line…but it screwed up my plugins page. All the plugins that appeared in the list starting from the RSS Parser and downwards are not showing up…the list is cut off…and the RSS Parser tab itself shows a blank page.

RSS Parser?

Is there an RSS parser I can use to parse out my RSS feed url? The simplepie plugin seems incompatible with the newest version of FrogCMS as it returns a 404 error on me on my site…had to remove the simplepie code from my site. The download link for the Feedburner plugin seems to not exist so I can’t download it. Any ideas?

404 error on simplepie and error in config.php

http://fiesta.sparkonline.net

In the news area where I have simplepie running, it shows a 404 error. I uploaded the simplepie.php file into the /frog/helpers/ folder and it still had the 404 error.

Also in config.php, I uploaded the old file I had sued before the upgrade and added in the new version’s codes and I got the following error:

[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]

Lastly, I am also using my old site’s .htaccess file because the new one is giving me a 500 server error. I pasted the code in this thread.

I noticed that when I take the newer version of the .htaccess file and remove the “php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off” code from it (without quotes), the 500 server goes away and my site comes up but I still get the 404 error where my news area is supposed to be. Funny thing was, I tried removing the whole simplepie code from my main page and the 404 error disappeared and my site came back up. But I want the simplepie plugin for my news area.

EDIT: I commented the whole entire code out so my content page on my site is blank. Sidebar still shows up though.

Link to layout file?

Well my friend is doing coding on my site and he is making a whole new separate page on the site away from the CMS (because the functions used on the page aren’t compatible with FrogCMS) and he wants to know if there was a way to include a link to the layout file itself that is used on the regular CMS pages so that the layout can be used on the page.

robot.txt

Is there a specific robot.txt file for FrogCMS? Like what URLs need to be excluded and whatnot?

Pages in Frog allowed to be edited by the public?

This idea just came to me a while ago. My FrogCMS website is a gaming fansite and there’s some people on my forum who are more knowledgeable than me in some aspects of the game and I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an option where the public could edit the pages that were made inside FrogCMS so that content can be updated? This privilege could be like that of a wiki where the ip of that person who edited the page is logged and a spam blocker is implemented.

2 RSS Feeds in a table?

So here’s the story…

I have the SimplePie RSS Feed code running on the main page in the CMS. It’s grabbing the latest threads from my forums.

I have the same code running on the layout’s page in the CMS.

My issue is that I put both RSS Feeds into one table split up into columns but the columns are of uneven width.

Here’s my code:

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="100%">
<tr>
<td align="50%" bordercolor="#000000">
<h2>Latest Fiesta News</h2>
<?php
	use_helper('simplepie');
        $feed = new SimplePie('http://www.outspark.com/forums/external.php?type=rss&forumids=12'); // or your rss url
	$feed->handle_content_type();
	/*
	Here, we'll loop through all of the items in the feed, and $item represents the current item in the loop.
	*/
	foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item):
	?>
		<div class="item">
			<h3><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a></h3>
			<p><?php echo $item->get_description(); ?></p>
		</div>
	<?php endforeach; ?>
</td>
<td align="50%" bordercolor="#000000">
  <h2><?php echo $this->title(); ?></h2>
  <?php echo $this->content(); ?>
   <?php if ($this->hasContent('extended')) echo $this->content('extended'); ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Basically, the second column of the table is using the FrogCMS database code to grab the RSS Feed code off the main page inside the CMS. The first column has the RSS Feed code running right on it…not grabbing anything.

Here’s the site it’s running on: http://fiesta.sparkonline.net/

Author listed in RSS feed?

What’s a var_dump?

Author listed in RSS feed?

I don’t use the built-in RSS Feed..that just grabs the latest article created not forum threads (correct me if I’m wrong)..

I use the SimplePie plugin…my code looks like this:

<?php
    use_helper('simplepie');
    $feed = new SimplePie('http://sparkonline.net/forums/syndication.php?fid=4&limit=5'); // or your rss url
    $feed->handle_content_type();
    ?>

    <?php
    /* Here, we'll loop through all of the items in the feed, and $item represents the current item in the loop. */
    foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item):
    ?>
    <h3><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <p><?php echo $item->get_description(); ?></p>
    <p><small>Posted on <?php echo $item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a'); ?></small></p>
<?php endforeach; ?>

The built-in RSS Feed page looks like this:

<?php echo '<?'; ?>xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"<?php echo '?>'; ?>
