PHP Style Sheet Switcher

See: PHP Style Sheet Switcher

page_class

You can use this little tag to get yourself a class name for the current page. This is very useful when you want to apply particular CSS style only to a certain page, or a subset of pages.

global $gCms;
$classes = array();
$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$thisPage = $gCms->variables['content_id'];
$currentNode = &$manager->sureGetNodeById($thisPage);
while( isset($currentNode) && $currentNode->getLevel() >= 0 )
{
    $currentContent =& $currentNode->getContent();
    array_unshift($classes, $currentContent->Alias());
    $currentNode =& $currentNode->getParentNode();
}
echo implode($classes, ' ') . ' ' . implode($classes, '-') . ' ' . 'page-' . $thisPage;

Usage:

Let's say you are on the page with the following URL: /en/some/page

In your template:

<body class="{page_class}">

Result:

<body class="en some page en-some-page page-23">

In your CSS:

// to affect "en" page and all it's children
body.en {
   // style declarations
}
// to affect only that specific page
// this is not 100% proof, and might break in cases where you have similar URLs:
// /en/some/page/ and /en/some-page/ will result in the same class name
// for these cases you can use the ID of the page
body.en-some-page {
   // style declarations
}
// uses ID of the page
body.page-23 {
   // style declarations
}

get_template_vars

When working with smarty templates in your modules , it's useful to know what variables are available and their values. Fortunately, this is now possible.

// get a list of all of the smarty assigned variables
// user defined tag named "get_template_vars"
global $gCms;
$tpl_vars = $gCms->smarty->get_template_vars();
print_r( $tpl_vars );

A Redirect UDT

Below you will find the code for a UDT to do redirecting. Create a new UDT under Extensions >> Tags, and call it 'redirect'. Then paste this code in there.

 if( isset( $params['to'] ) )
  {
    global $gCms;
    $manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
    $node =& $manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($params['to']);
    $content =& $node->GetContent();
    if (isset($content) && is_object($content))
       {
         if ($content->GetURL() != '')
         {
            redirect($content->GetURL());
         }
       }
    else return '<!-- redirect udt - page not found: '.$params['to'].' -->';
  }

How do I use it: add {redirect to='page_alias'} into one of your pages, or somewhere intelligently placed in your template (you should have an if statement around this, or you'll get some nasty redirection loops).

else_if

what it does is take the "name" of a page and determines what HTML gets writen in order to control images, nav on states, etc. once you have the name of the page, the if, elseif and else statement can control enything in the template.

global $gCms;
$thispage = ;
$thispage = $gCms->variables['page_name'];
if ($thispage == "pagename")  echo "this is for pagename";
elseif  ($thispage == "othername") echo "this is for othername";
elseif  ($thispage == "npage") echo "you can have as many elseif clauses you want";
else echo "default text";

recently_updated

Outputs a list of the 10 most recently updated pages.

$output = '<div class="nav"><div class="heading">Most Recently Updated</div>';
$output .= '<ul class="links">';
global $gCms;
$hm =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$db = &$gCms->db;
// Get list of 10 most recently updated pages excluding the home page
$q = "SELECT * FROM ".cms_db_prefix()."content WHERE (type='content' OR type='link')
AND default_content != 1 AND active = 1 AND show_in_menu = 1 
ORDER BY modified_date DESC LIMIT 10";
$dbresult = $db->Execute( $q );
if( !$dbresult )
{
    echo 'DB error: '. $db->ErrorMsg()."<br/>";
}
while ($dbresult && $updated_page = $dbresult->FetchRow())
{
    $curnode =& $hm->getNodeById($updated_page['content_id']);
    $curcontent =& $curnode->GetContent();
    $output .= '<li class="updated">';
    $output .= '<a href="'.$curcontent->GetURL().'">'.$updated_page['content_name'].'</a>';
    $output .= '<br />';
    $output .= $updated_page['titleattribute'];
    $output .= '<br />';
    $output .= 'Modified: ' .$updated_page['modified_date'];
    $output .= '</li>';
}
$output .= '</ul></div>';
echo $output;

table_of_contents

Genrates a table of contents for your pages based on the heading tags. It requires, depending on how you want to use it, some IDs or some anchors like:

<a name="packages">Packages</a> or <h2 id="packages">Packages</h2>

Put this in a user-defined tag named table_of_contents:

/**
 * Generates a table of contents based on parameters you want
 * @example: <h2 id="packages">Packages</h2> use: tag="h2" type="id"
 * @example: <a name="packages">Packages</a> use: tag="a" type="name"
 */
function get_table_of_contents($page_contents, $tag, $type)
{
    // Generate table of contents
    preg_match_all("/<$tag $type=\"([a-z-0-9]+)\">(.*)<\/$tag>/i", $page_contents, $match);
    if (false == empty($match[0])) {
        $contents  = "<h2>Contents</h2>\n";
        $contents .= "<ul>\n";
        foreach ($match[1] as $key => $value) {
            if ($type == $match[1][$key]) {
                $contents .= '';
            } else {
                $contents .= '        ';
            }
            $contents .= '<li><a href="'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'#'.$match[1][$key].'">'.$match[2][$key].'</a>';
            // Start a new sub-list if this item has children otherwise just end the list item
            if (false == empty($match[1][$key + 1]) && $match[1][$key + 1] == $match[1][$key] + 1) {
                $contents .= "\n    <ul>\n";
                $unclosed_list = TRUE;
            } else {
                $contents .= "</li>\n";
            }
            // If the next item is higher level then close this list item (I.E. current item is h3 and next is h2
            if (false == empty($match[1][$key + 1]) && $match[1][$key + 1] == $match[1][$key] - 1) {

        $contents = '';
    }
    return $contents;
}
echo get_table_of_contents($params['thepagecontent'], $params['tag'], $params['type']);

Then in your template put this:

{content assign=pagecontent}
{table_of_contents thepagecontent="$pagecontent" tag="a" type="name"}

embed existing smarty app

I need to show existing data from an app that was written with smarty and had existing templates this seems to work for me at least

made a function in plugins

<?php
function smarty_cms_function_myapp($params, &$smarty){
$smarty->assign('comments','big comment');

//both these methods work
$smarty->display('myapp.tpl');
or
return $smarty->fetch('myapp.tpl');
// just chose one method I think 
//fetch would be best
}
?>

the tpl file had existing smarty stuff and was placed in tmp/templates eg myapp.tpl

{$smarty.now|date_format}smarty now
<br />
it works
<br />
{$comments}

and in your page {myapp} I also found like {$comments} also works

change copyright date based on server

make a user defined tag eg custom_copyright

//set start to date your site was published
$startCopyRight='2005';
if(date('Y')== $startCopyRight){
    echo $startCopyRight;
}else{
    echo $startCopyRight.' - '. date('Y');
}

in the Global Content Blocks place {custom_copyright} in the footer now next year it will say 2005 - 2007

count_news_items

Create a new User Defined Tag named 'count_news_items' with the following content:

global $gCms;
$items = $gCms->smarty->get_template_vars('items');
$gCms->smarty->assign('itemcount', count($items));

Then put something like this in your news summary template:

<!-- Start News Display Template -->
{count_news_items}
{if $itemcount != 0}
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
...
{/foreach}
{else}
No items
{/if}
<!-- End News Display Template -->

Simple, accessible Wikipedia-style external links

This article on Max Design was the inspiration for this tag, which appends the text " (external link)" to the link text of your link. When viewed in a CSS-enabled browser this phrase is hidden from view and replaced with a graphical icon indicating an external link.

Note: Internet Explorer does not display the icon correctly when link text spans multiple lines so non-breaking spaces are inserted between words to overcome this problem.

Using CSS this icon will change color to reflect the following link states:

:link
:visited
:hover

Create a new user-defined tag named 'extlink' with the following content:

$linktext = $params['linktext'];
$words = explode(" ", $linktext);
if ($words != $linktext) {
  $linktext = $words[0];
  foreach ($words as $key => $value) {
    if ($key >0) {
      $linktext .= ' '.$value;
    }
  }
}
echo '<a class="external" href="'.$params['href'].'"';
if(!empty($params['title']))
	echo ' title="'.$params['title'].'"';
echo '>'.$linktext.'<span> (external link)</span></a>';

This tag accepts three parameters:

href—contains the href for the external link (required).
linktext—contains the linktext to be inserted into the link (required).
title—contains the title attribute text to be inserted into the link (;optional).

Example:

{extlink href="http://external.site.com" title="A site about widgets" linktext="Cool Widgets"}

will generate the following HTML:

<a class="external" href="http://external.site.com" title="A site about widgets">Cool&nbsp;Widgets<span> (external link)</span></a>

Right click on the image above and save it to your computer as "External.gif", then upload it to the location on your web site where you store your images.

The following stylesheet rules will need to be added to your CSS to implement this functionality

a.external span {
  position: absolute;
  left: -5000px;
  width: 4000px;
}
a.external {
  padding: 0 12px 0 0
}
a.external:link {
  background: url(/images/External.gif) no-repeat 100% 0;
}
a.external:visited {
  color: #609;
  background: url(/images/External.gif) no-repeat 100% -100px;
}
a.external:hover {
  color: #f00;
  background: url(/images/External.gif) no-repeat 100% -200px;
}

If your web site image folder is not "/images/" you will need to modify the rules above to point to the correct location for the image file "External.gif".

acronym_replacer

Automatically replaces acronyms in your content with an <acronym title="description">TLA</acronym> tag, unless you surround the acronym with $ signs--e.g. DVD will be replaced with <acronym title="Digital Versatile Disc">DVD</acronym> but $DVD$ will be replaced with DVD.

This is a modified version of the Acronym Replacer 2.0 WordPress Plugin.

Put this in a user-defined tag named acronym_replacer:

/*
Acronym Replacer is modified from the Acronym Replacer 2.0
WordPress Plugin at: http://www.huddledmasses.org/wp-content/plugins/source.php?file=acronyms.php

echo '.gif" style="height:17px;width:17px;" />';
if (FALSE != isset($_COOKIE['Style_Text']) && 'small' != $_COOKIE['Style_Text']) {
echo '</a>';
}
if ('medium' != $_COOKIE['Style_Text']) {
echo '<a href="javascript:setText(\'medium\')">';
}
echo '<img alt="Medium text"  src="uploads/images/style_switcher/icon-text-medium';
if (FALSE != isset($_COOKIE['Style_Text']) && 'medium' == $_COOKIE['Style_Text']) {
echo '-on';
}
echo '.gif" style="height:17px;width:17px;" />';
if ('medium' != $_COOKIE['Style_Text']) {
echo '</a>';
}
if ('large' != $_COOKIE['Style_Text']) {
echo '<a href="javascript:setText(\'large\')">';
}
echo '<img alt="Large text"  src="uploads/images/style_switcher/icon-text-large';
if (FALSE != isset($_COOKIE['Style_Text']) && 'large' == $_COOKIE['Style_Text']) {
echo '-on';
}
echo '.gif" style="height:17px;width:17px;" />';
if ('large' != $_COOKIE['Style_Text']) {
echo '</a>';
}
}

Then in betwen your 'head' tags in your template put something like this:

{style_switcher action="css_head" template="business_design"}

Next, where you want the switcher to appear put this:

Style: {style_switcher action="show_switcher"}

Now, create stylesheets with names like these:

business_design_layout_large
business_design_layout_medium
business_design_text_large
business_design_text_medium

favicon

This tag generates XHTML code to display a favicon in the browser. To generate a icon you can use this http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/.

Create a new User Defined Tag named 'favicon' with the following content:

if(isset($params['static']))
   echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="'.$params['static'].'" type="image/x-icon" />'."\n";

if(isset($params['animated']))
   echo '<link rel="icon" href="'.$params['animated'].'" type="image/gif" />'."\n";

Then put something like this in the header of your template:

<!--Favicon-->
{favicon static="../images/favicon.ico" animated="../images/animated_favicon.gif"}

The two attributes are optional, but if you leave them both there isn't happening nothing.

Google adsense

get your adsense code from google.

copy paste it as is into user defined tag (in extension -> user defined tags -> add user defined tag) as this code has javascript { and } we need to wrap it inside {literal} and {/literal} otherwise smarty will miss interperet those extra { } as its own. so add {literal} at the top and {/literal} at the bottom.

edit your template in which you want the ads to be shown. check where you want your ads (you might want to wrap em in

<div id="ads"> </div>

) and add call to your user defined tag with {name_of_your_udt}. save

refresh your page, and thats it.

File link

Description: Use this tag for linking files within your page. The link is furthermore also provided with the filesize of the file you are linking.

The tag is represented similar to

Description of the file (2.56MB)

How to use it: Add the following code as a new User Defined Tag. Name it e.g. 'filelink'.

// ----
// filelink - user defined tag for cms made simple
// Author: Kutschera Ralph
// Email: news2006@ecuapac.dyn.priv.at
// Last Update: 09/26/2006
// No warranty.
// ----

// get file
$localprefix='/var/www/pathtocms/uploads/File/'; // server sided root directory of the files you are linking
$webprefix='uploads/File/'; // the same directory but where your webserver will find it

$localpathtofile=$localprefix.$params['file'];
$webpathtofile=$webprefix.$params['file'];

// get link name
$linkname='';
if(isset($params['name'])) {
  $linkname = $params['name'];
}
else {
  // you can leave away the tag attribute 'name'
  // if so, the name of the file is shown as the link
  $linkname = basename($localpathtofile);
}

// check if file exists
if(file_exists($localpathtofile)) {
  $filesize = filesize($localpathtofile);

  // beautify filesize
  $suffix = "B"; // for Bytes
  if($filesize > 1024) {
    $filesize = $filesize / 1024;
    $suffix = "KB";

    if($filesize > 1024) {
      $filesize = $filesize / 1024;
      $suffix = "MB";

      if($filesize > 1024) {
        $filesize = $filesize / 1024;
        $suffix = "GB";
      }
    }
  }

  $filesize = sprintf("%.2f", $filesize);

  // edit the following line, if you want a different representation of your link
  echo '<a href="'.$webpathtofile.'"><b>'.$linkname.'</b> ('.$filesize.$suffix.')</a>';
}
else {
  // this is shown if the file you try to link to cannot be find
  echo $linkname.' (sorry, broken)';
}

Now if you want to provide a link to a file of your page, simply add

{filelink file='path/to/file' name='Name shown as the link or description of file'}

and you get a link as shown in the description. In the example above the file is saved at /var/www/pathtocms/uploads/File/path/to/file on your server. As you will use another server environment than I do, you'll have to edit the variables $localprefix and $webprefix in the above code. I think, the code should be self explanatory. You can omit the tag attribute 'name' if you want the name of the file as the link text. The code also checks whether the file does exist and gives a '(sorry, broken)' otherwise.

Obfuscate mailto: Email Address Links

This user-defined tag inserts a clickable "mailto:fred@example.com" link that is difficult for spambots to parse, unless they understand Javascript.

Usage:

{emailaddress mailbox="fred" domain="example.com" name="Fred Bloggs"}

Tag name: emailaddress

Tag code:

echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- 
document.write("<a ", "href=\"", "mail", "to", ":",
"'.$params['mailbox'].'", "@",
"'.$params['domain'].'", "\">",
"'.$params['name'].'", "</", "a>");
//-->
</script>';

Date of the latest modification on the site

This can be useful if you want to add a line like "Latest update: 01/02/2008" automatically on your website. In this example, the date is formated d/M/Y but you can change it as you like (see PHP Date format). You can see how easy it is to format a MySQL date to any format.

global $gCms;
$hm =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$db = &$gCms->db;

// Get the most recently updated page excluding the home page
$q = "SELECT modified_date FROM ".cms_db_prefix()."content WHERE (type='content' OR type='link')
AND default_content != 1 AND active = 1 AND show_in_menu = 1 
ORDER BY modified_date DESC LIMIT 1";
$dbresult = $db->Execute( $q );
if( !$dbresult )
{
    echo 'DB error: '. $db->ErrorMsg()."<br/>";
}
while ($dbresult && $updated_page = $dbresult->FetchRow())
{
    $output = date("d/m/Y",strtotime ($updated_page['modified_date']));
}
echo $output;

This is based on the tag recently_updated Author: Jean-Sebastien Monzani / jsmonzani.com

List the children of the current page

This simple tag makes a UL list of the children of this page (no recursion, just direct children) It also shows you how you can access Menu information from a tag. It can be useful to populate an empty page which has numerous subpages.

global $gCms;
$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$thisPage = $gCms->variables['page_name'];
$currentNode = &$manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($thisPage);

$nodes = $currentNode->getChildren();

if ($currentNode->hasChildren()) {
  echo '<ul class="sectionlinks">';
  foreach ($nodes as $node) {
     $content= $node->getContent();
     $url = $content->GetURL();
    if ($url == "#") { /* section header has no link by default */
      $url = "index.php?page=".$content->Alias();
    }
    echo "<li><a href=\"".$url."\">".$content->MenuText()."</a> </li>";

  }
  echo "</ul>";
}

Is this page recent? (count days)

A client asked me to put a "New" label in the menu, next to the most recent pages. My idea was to use a CSS style, that would be set to "new" or "old", depending on the page. It would produce something like

<span class="new">This page is recent</span>.

This tag addresses this problem, feel free to modify it to suit your needs. In this example, a page is new if its latest update was no more than 31 days before today.

Use it like this: {is_this_page_recent pageid="INSERT-YOUR-PAGE-ID-HERE"} Now you can use {isnew} that will get "new" or "old" depending on the result.

/* param: pageid, assigns {isnew} to new or old*/

global $gCms;
$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$thisPage = intval($params['pageid']);
$currentNode = &$manager->sureGetNodeById($thisPage);
$currentContent =& $currentNode->getContent();

$nbdays = (time()-strtotime($currentContent->GetModifiedDate())) / 86400;
if ($nbdays <= 31) { /* Update in the last month? */
  $gCms->smarty->assign('isnew', "new");
} else {
  $gCms->smarty->assign('isnew', "old");
}

Geshi hilight

download geshi and unzip it in your plugins folder (refer to geshi documentation on geshis cabapilities geshi doc)

Create new file in the lib/smarty/plugins dircctory named "block.cms_geshi.php" with this content

<?php
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'geshi' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'geshi.php');
/***
 * GeSHi highlighting
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 * File:     block.highlight.php
 * Type:     block
 * Name:     highlight
 * Purpose:  highlight a block of text using GeSHi
 * Author:   tsw
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 */
function smarty_block_cms_geshi($params, $content, &$smarty)
{
  if (isset($content) && isset($params['lang'])) {
    return geshi_highlight($content, $params['lang'], "", true);
  }
}
?>

Now you can have hilighted code by calling this block from your page with:

{cms_geshi lang="php"}
{literal}
<?php if ($test == true) { echo 1; } ?>
{/literal}
{/cms_geshi}

note that you need {literal}{/literal} tags around your code when braces are used inside

pageAliasMatch

UDT to ensure that the current page alias matches the defined prefix rules which are similar to the Menu Manager module's prefix rules.

This is useful if you want to prevent non-registered users from seeing private pages.

///
/// UDT to ensure that the current page alias matches the defined prefix rules
/// which are similar to the Menu Manager module's prefix rules.
/// 
/// @param "includeprefix"

///     The current page alias must NOT start with the given prefix, or
///     the user will be redirected
///     
/// @param "redirectTo"
///     The page to redirect to, can be an ID number or an alias.
///
/// @example
///     The following example uses customcontent to see if the user is

IP Block and XSS Attack notifier

I don't really know if this is usefull but i will post it:

I called it block_xss but you can give it any name. Works only if you are using NO ModRewrite

Send Email Notification on Page Change

This is a UDT/Event combination that sends an email when a page is changed. This example uses the CMSMailer module (recommended).

First, create the following UDT named send_email_notification (or whatever name you want). Be sure to change the email address.

global $gCms;
$content =& $params['content'];

$editedby = $gCms->variables['username'];

$bodytext = '
A page on the web site has been changed.

Page Name: '.$content->Name().'
Page Alias: '.$content->Alias().'
Page Type: '.$content->Type().'
Page Created: '.$content->GetCreationDate().'
Modified on: '.$content->GetModifiedDate().'
Modified by: '.$editedby.'
Page URL: '.$content->GetURL();

$cmsmailer =& $gCms->modules['CMSMailer']['object'];
$cmsmailer->AddAddress('your@email.com');
$cmsmailer->SetBody($bodytext);
$cmsmailer->IsHTML(false);
$cmsmailer->SetSubject('Page change notification--' .$content->Name());
$cmsmailer->Send();

Next, go to Extensions->Events, click the edit button for ContentEditPost, find your new UDT in the dropdown list, and ADD it.

That's it, good luck!

Sending a new user his information after adding him via the admin panel

You don't need to inform new users about the username and password any more via email! You can inform them via the new UDT automatically!

I added the validate_email function for at least a little checking if the email address seams to be ok becaue the admin panel does not yet check it. If no email is set, no email will be sent!

function validate_email($email){
   $exp = "^[a-z\'0-9]+([._-][a-z\'0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+))+$";
   if(eregi($exp,$email)){
      if(checkdnsrr(array_pop(explode("@",$email)),"MX")){
        return true;
      }else{
        return false;
      }
   }else{
      return false;
   }
}

global $gCms;
$sitename = get_site_preference('sitename', 'My Homepage'); /* If sitename is not set (usually it is), use My Homepage */

$newuser =& $params['user'];

$bodytext = 'This is your new user account information:

First Name: '.$newuser->firstname.'
Last Name: '.$newuser->lastname.'

Username: '.$newuser->username.'
Password: '.$_POST["password"].'

Email: '.$newuser->email.'

Login here: '.$gCms->config["root_url"].DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$gCms->config["admin_dir"].'

After login please change your password here: My Preferences -> My Account!';

if($newuser->email != "" && validate_email($newuser->email)){
  $cmsmailer =& $gCms->modules['CMSMailer']['object'];
  $cmsmailer->AddAddress($newuser->email);
  $cmsmailer->SetBody($bodytext);
  $cmsmailer->IsHTML(false);
  $cmsmailer->SetSubject($sitename.' User Account Information');
  $cmsmailer->Send();
}

UDT to count time in admin area

This UDT will count the time you are in the admin area. This might be good to know how much time you need for a homepage to finish it.

Add this UDT in the Event manager to "LogoutPost" but install it first!

Call Global Content Block from User Defined Tag

http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,15381.0.html

Fix for anchors when using /index.php?page= URL format

If you make a link to an anchor named "bookmark" in your WYSIWYG editor on page with id number 12, your users get sent to /#bookmark instead of /index.php?page=12#bookmark. You can fix this fairly easy.

Open modules/TinyMCE/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/advlink/jscripts/functions.js

On (or around) line 411, you'll see the following line of code:

html += '<option value="#' + name + '">' + name + '</option>';

Replace that with the following line of code and save it

html += '<option value="index.php?page={get_idnumber}#' + name + '">' + name + '</option>';

Create a new User Defined Tag called get_idnumber with the following code:

global $gCms; $thisPage = $gCms->variables['page_name']; echo $thisPage;

That's it.

Author: Jules Bressers (edited by Simon Schaufelberger to variables['page_name'] which makes more sense - you might want to change the name of the UDT, if so please remember to update it in .../functions.js)

Embed a YouTube video with valid XHTML

The default HTML provided by YouTube is not valid XHTML. I wrote a very simple tag called youtube_video to embed YouTube videos with valid XHTML (I googled cmsmadesimple.org, and it seems there's nothing about this yet):

/*
Embed a YouTube video with valid XHTML
Parameter: url
Reference: http://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=681
*/
echo '<object class="youtube" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"';
echo ' data="'.$params['url'].'">';
echo '<param name="movie" value="'.$params['url'].'" />';
echo '<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />';
echo '</object>';

Here is the original code to embed a video:

<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UiszfEazOaI"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UiszfEazOaI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">
</embed>
</object>

An here it is how to use the tag:

{youtube_video url="http://www.youtube.com/v/UiszfEazOaI"}

YALIM – Yet Another Login Info Mailer

A simple mailing script to send the newly added user’s login info to his e-mail which is based on the existing mailer you got when you installed the CMS.

Steps to set up:

Create new user defined tag (“Extensions > User Defined Tags”)

Paste the following code into the textarea:

global $config;
$site = $config['root_url'];
$link = $config['root_url'] . "/". $config['admin_dir'];


if (isset($_POST["email"]))
{
$to      = $_POST["email"];
$subject = 'CMS Account Information';
$message = <<<EOF
You have been added as new user to the CMS at $site.

This is your new account information:
username: {$_POST["user"]}
password: {$_POST["password"]}

Log into the site admin here: $link
EOF;

echo "<p>E-mailing user account information…";
echo (
@mail($to, $subject, $message)
? '[done]'
: '<strong>[failed]</strong>'
);
echo '</p>';
}

Save the tag and go to the Events section (“Extensions > Events”)
Click the event “AddUserPost”
Select your newly created tag from the dropdown box at the end of the page and click “Add”

Now everytime a new user is added through the admin panel, she gets the login info sent (of course only if you also add his/her e-mail address in the user data). You can change the message subject to your liking.

Set Default Group for New Users

Create a UDT that is run from the AddUserPost Event, that puts them in a particular group. The group_id depends on which group you want to use as the default:

Admin - 1
Editor - 2
Designer - 3

Of course, if you add groups with different permissions, you will have to look up the id for the one you want to use.

In this example, the new user will be automatically added to the Editor group.

Create a UDT called set_user_group, with this code:

global $gCms;
$db = &$gCms->db;
$group_id = 2;

$query = "SELECT * FROM ".cms_db_prefix()."users_seq";
$dbresult = $db->Execute($query);

if ($dbresult && $dbresult->RecordCount() > 0)
    {
       $row = $dbresult->FetchRow();
       $user_id = $row['id'];
    }

$query = "INSERT INTO ".cms_db_prefix()."user_groups (group_id, user_id, create_date, modified_date) 
          VALUES ($group_id, $user_id, ".$db->DBTimeStamp(time()).", ".$db->DBTimeStamp(time()).")";

$result = $db->Execute($query);

In the Admin panel, go to Extensions/Events and select the AddUserPost event. Select the set_user_group UDT from the drop down menu and click on the Add button.

Now, whenever you add a new user, they will be assigned to that group.

popup

Script to popup a window.

echo '<A HREF=javascript:popUp("index.php?page='
. $params["pagealias"] 
.'","' . $params["width"] 
.'","' . $params["height"]. '") >'
. $params['linkname'] . "</A>";

This is useful if you just want to {popup} a cms page for reference e.g. tooltip, reference text. The {cmslink} function takes the operator to that page necessitating a return, with {popup} the operator stays on the same page.

To create a popup from a page just add the following tag:

{popup pagealias="P" linkname="L" width="W" height="H"}

where:

P is the pagealias mention on the Options tab of the page you want to popup
L is the text for the link
W is the width of the popup, I recommend 800 as this prevents scrollbars
H is the height of the popup. This will depend on the material being displayed.
