Hi Larry, it's not at the moment. You could put a div around the <ul> and make the div editable as a quick alternative.

Hi Ben, I've just checked your account and I was able to edit a bit of text. I undone the changes straight away.

Are you still having problems?

Hi Richy, that has to apply. In a normal example, gallery images will be pretty much the same size so it made sense to automatically create the large version based on an existing gallery image.

If the image you replace was landscape and you upload a portrait then the width will be changed to match the landscape width and vice-versa.

This version of the gallery is only simple. We thought we would try it out and get some feedback before offering more advanced features like being able to edit the large image instead of the system creating the large image automatically.

We always like to hear your suggestions so feel free to post them.

Hi Adam, I've just checked your site settings and saw the Sitemap URL was this:

http://orangedesignmedia.com/h/asordoc- … ap-cms.xml

That page is a 404 but the URL you've posted above works so I've updated your settings to use the URL above.

Hi guys, we have built an image gallery that you can use with SimpleCMS.

You will need to have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript to set this up on your site.

Take a look at a working demo:
http://www.simplecms.com/examples/gallery/

The gallery uses jQuery lightBox plugin but you can use another if you wish.

SimpleCMS requires your HTML to be formatted exactly as in the example. You'll need a containing div with the edit-gallery class name which contains links to the large images and img tags to display the thumbnail images, e.g.

<div id="gallery" class="edit-gallery clearfix">
    <a href="img0_large.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="img0_thumb.jpg" alt="" /></a>
    <a href="img1_large.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="img1_thumb.jpg" alt="" /></a>
    <a href="img2_large.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="img2_thumb.jpg" alt="" /></a>
</div>

SimpleCMS will display the following button on each image:
http://www.simplecms.com/forumimages/gallery_buttons.jpg

Clicking on the image icon will allow you to edit the current image (as normal).
If you click on the + icon it will duplicate the image so you can add new images to your gallery.
If you click on the - icon it will remove the image from your gallery.

When you edit an image in your gallery and upload an image to the system it will create two copies of the image.

One copy will be the thumbnail which you can crop (as normal). The other copy will not be cropped but it will be re-sized to match the width of the existing larger image.

Hi Charles, I've updated your tutorial to include the details:

Hi Richy, thanks for the link. I've given it a test and it's working for me

Cake is good :)

Hi Richy, sorry for the delay. This should be working now. I re-created the problem on a test site of mine and the solution works on my test site. Which page do you have the repeat image on so I can test it?

Hi Chris, I've just logged in to your FTP server and saw that it lists the root files which is why the system is picking up the root files. Could you double check the FTP user permissions to make sure it's pointing to the right directory.

Hi Oyova, SimpleCMS doesn't parse any of your server-side scripting for obvious security reasons. The system can only edit pages that exist on your FTP server.

SimpleCMS will work with PHP includes but not with dynamic includes that you've described. What I would do is create two files, header.php and footer.php, which container the HTML/PHP for the header/footer of the website. I would then create pages that link to the header/footer. This way the pages exist on the FTP server so SimpleCMS can edit them and you can manage the header/footer in one place.

It sounds like you need ComplicatedCMS if you wish to continue using your setup. Unfortunately we cannot cater for the different ways websites are built.

Hi David, I've just had a play with a test site.

In the system I edited some text and highlighted "Go down to footer" and clicked on the Link icon. In the URL box I entered #footer and clicked the OK button. When I saved my changes and clicked on the "Go down to footer" link it scrolled down the page to the footer.

I knew the ID of footer because I checked the HTML source code. Your clients obviously won't want to do that every time they create an anchor link.

What they can do is create a link like my example above and create another link which is the destination. When you create links you can switch to the Advanced tab and enter an ID for the link. So if your clients create the destination link then the source link they can enter #destination-ID into the URL box and everything should work.

For example, if I wanted to create an anchor link to the footer then I would first create a link in the footer titled "Footer link" and assign it an ID in the Advanced tab, e.g. footer. I would then create the anchor link which would have the URL of #footer

Hi Michael, you can give them: http://designworx.updating.net

As this will display your branding on the log-in screen.

Hi Rob, it appears that attributes on your web pages were missing quote marks,

e.g. attributes look like this:

<td rowspan=5 class=left ....

but the system expects them to be formatted like this:

<td rowspan="5" class="left" ....

If you add quotes around your class attributes everything should work correctly for you.

Hi Daniel, that might work as a quick fix. We're still working on a permanent solution for you that works with your htaccess file.

Hi Richy, I understand what you mean. We'll get it sorted for you and let you know once it's working.

We are working on an image gallery at the moment which will be a better solution when we launch it - hopefully within the next 2 weeks.

Hi Charles, the system requires each editable area to have unique IDs and because we offer the "click-to-define" edit areas feature we add IDs on available elements so you can easily click the area and make your site editable within minutes.

We've had a few comments about this and we're adding an option into your account settings to disable it. This means you will be required to add the edit class and ID attributes yourself.

We'll post back once the new feature is live.

Great team work! Glad it's working for you now.

Just let us know if there's anything else.
