Just a quick question regarding a weird issue we're noticing happening with our website. We use a navigation menu that shows pedigree only from a specific page, embedded into the style template via AssetProxy. This is working wonderfully, except for when you get to a page that has multiple pagination, for example, an SQL Report. Once you click on the "Next Page" or any of ther numbered pages themselves, the navigation menu disappears on those pages. http://www.plainblack.com/web_design_templates_and_themes/pagination-and-navigation-menus Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:52:08 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/web_design_templates_and_themes/duplicate-web-site Greetings, http://www.plainblack.com/web_design_templates_and_themes/duplicate-web-site Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:06:39 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/web_design_templates_and_themes/images-broken-help We are working on a fresh install of WebGUI 7.4.39 using the WRE, and we can't get any images to display.

The reason for this is that I want the thumbnail not to be an auto-resized version of the main image, but a cropped area, uploaded separately. So my goal is that the user can submit to the gallery, the first image will be the thumbnail, the second will be the full-size version. The thumbnails will be used in the existing photo gallery main template, but the Default Submission template needs changing so it doesn't display all attachments in the loop, rather ignores the first (thumbnail) and just displays the second. I need to replace the attachment_loop with something to just show the second attachment, can anyone give me any pointers? http://www.plainblack.com/web_design_templates_and_themes/collaberation-system-gallery-variation Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:23:24 -0600 http://www.plainblack.com/web_design_templates_and_themes/dropdown-menu I am trying to build a css dropdown menu.

I tried to manually make the database field Unique (from a mysql perspective), like this: alter table mailinglist change email email char(255) unique; It works fine from a mysql view, but when i enter none-unique values, I get a server error.

Is there some way to generate a random image URL for a CSS class? I'm developing a template and I want it to have a banner that can be customized by our content managers to do one of three things: Leave as is (randomly include default images in banner from a pre-existing directory via css) Customize (upload custom images to a pre-determined directory to be included via css) Custom Randomize (upload multiple images to a pre-determined directory to be included via css) The way it works is that we have a PHP script that collects the user preferences. If the user has images in a preset directory they can choose to use their images in place of the defaults and upon choosing to use custom images they can choose to make it random or static. The problem is that the template needs to be a flexible layout. So, the images need to be set as backgrounds for a given DIV. Which in turn means they need to be set via a css declaration. As it stands now I have a default stylesheet that sets a static banner image and I'm using an inline stylesheet declaration to override the banner class if they choose a custom image. That much is easy enough, however, getting those images randomly requires 'RandomAssetProxy' which returns an image tag not a URL. So, to state the problem simply; I need a way to pull a random asset's URL into a CSS class. Any advice? -Nate http://www.plainblack.com/web_design_templates_and_themes/random-image-in-stylesheet Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:02:56 -0600 http://www.plainblack.com/web_design_templates_and_themes/custom-fields-for-wiki-template Hello.

I'm using CS to make a photo gallery and I faced two problems I cannot solve. First I can't figure out how to sort the attachments alphabetically. Second I attached around 200 photos to a post, and it seems the system can't handle that much image. When I hit save it starts to work, it works for a while then gives an error message: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request POST /home/newfolder. Reason: Error reading from remote server After refresh I can watch the post, and all the images attached, but with a little error. At around the 160th image, the thumbnail goes away, and the rest is shown with default thumb size. I'm also a bit surprised that I can't set the max amount of attachments shown per page, but all imagethumbs are listed on one page instead. Any comments, suggestions, solutions are welcome!
