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 '-on';
}
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

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 Console

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 Console does not yet check it. If no email is set, no email will be sent!

function validate_email($email){
   $exp = "^[a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+))+$";
   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"}

In the forum there's a thread with an example how to add more parameters to the video object.

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 Console, 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 Console, 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.

Author: goallblacks (this is not right way to create popups, because if guest have javascript turned off he won't be able to open the link, the javascript call should be placed in onclick event instead)

popup (with javascript code)

The popup UDT above is missing the javascript code to actually open a window. Here's an UDT complete with javascript and further options for window sizing.

Put this in a user-defined tag named popup:

// Verifiy UDT parameters.

global $gCms;

if (! isset($params['url']))
{
    return;
}
else
{
    $url =  $params['url'];
}


if (isset($params['width']))
{
    $width= $params['width'];
 }
else
{
    $width = 0;
}

if (isset($params['height']))
{
    $height= $params['height'];
 }
else
{
    $height = 0;
}

if (isset($params['text']))
{
    $text = $params['text'];
 }
else
{
    $text = "Click here";
}


// Insert script into output stream.

echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(url, w, h)
{
   var xMin = 50;
   var yMin = 50;

    var xMax = screen.availWidth * 0.7;
    var yMax = screen.availHeight * 0.7;

    if (w < xMin || w > xMax)
    {
        w = xMax;
    }

    if (h < yMin || h > yMax)
    {
        h = yMax;
    }

    // Center on screen.
    var x = screen.availWidth / 2 - w / 2;
    var y = screen.availHeight / 2 - h / 2;

    var options = "";

    options += "toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=yes, ";
    options += "menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, copyhistory=no, ";
    options += "dependent=yes, ";

    options +=    "width=" + w + ", height=" + h + ", left=" + x + ", top=" + y;

    var popupWindow = window.open(url, "PopUp", options);
}
// -->
</script>';


// Insert anchor tag into output stream.

echo "<a href='javascript:popup(\"$url\", $width, $height)'>$text</a>";

Then in your content put this:

{popup url='page_url' width=n, height=n, text='xxx'}

url - The URL of the page to be shown in the new window. If not given the UDT call is ignored.
width - The width of the new window in pixels. If not given 70% of screen width is used.
height - The height of the new window in pixels. If not given 70% of screen heightis used.
text - Text to show for the link. If not given "Click here" is used.

The new window gets displayed centered on screen. If given widht/height for the window are too small the defaults are used.

Alternatively this UDT could be rewritten/expanded to use a CMSMS page alias instead of a URL.

Using a Push Button for a Hyperlink

Displaying a standard push button that links to a page within the CMS.

Put this in a user-defined tag named link_button:

global $gCms;

if (! isset($params['page']))
{
    return;
}

if (isset($params['caption']))
{
    $caption= $params['caption'];
 }
else
{
    $caption= "?";
}

$page = $params['page'];

$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();    
$node =& $manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($page);

if (! isset($node))
{
    return;
}

$content =& $node->GetContent();

if ($content == FALSE)
{
    return;
}

$url = $content->GetUrl();

/* Output form with submit button */

echo '<form method="POST" action="'.$url.'">';
echo '<p><input type="submit" value="'.$caption.'" name="LinkButton"></p>';
echo '</form>';

Then in your content put this:

{link_button page='my_page_alias' caption='click me!'}

page - Is the page alias for the page that is shown when the button is pressed.
caption - The caption of the push button.

Expanding this UDT should be easy, for example to support CSS styling or enhanced error handling.

Simple random quote system

I was looking for a very simple script that shows at random a quote. There is a project that helps out, but the maintenance of the quotes is not that easy (to my opinion). I prepared a txt file with each line containing a quote. I uploaded this, using the file manager, to the uploads directory. Next I prepared the following tag:

$delim = "\n";

// $quotefile points to the file that holds the actual quotes
$quotefile = "uploads/quotes.txt";

$fp = fopen($quotefile, "r");
$contents = fread($fp, filesize($quotefile));
$quote_arr = explode($delim,$contents);
fclose($fp);
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$quote_index = (rand(1, sizeof($quote_arr)) - 1);
$herequote = $quote_arr[$quote_index];
echo $herequote;

author: Duketown (the coding from Jeff Richards)

Simple random quote system (remote file version)

I modified Duketown's concept above slightly to allow for a remote txt file to be used rather than a local one. This is especially useful for those who manage multiple websites and would like to have the same quotes on every site while keeping the quote data stored in one central file for edits/changes.

$delim = "\n";

// $quotefile points to the remote file that holds the actual quotes (1 per line)
$quotefile = "http://www.yoursite.com/quotes.txt";

$fp = fopen($quotefile, "r");
$contents = stream_get_contents($fp);
$quote_arr = explode($delim,$contents);
fclose($fp);
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$quote_index = (rand(1, sizeof($quote_arr)) - 1);
$herequote = $quote_arr[$quote_index];
echo $herequote;

Display user properties of Frontend Users module

This UDT allows you to get the value of any user property you have defined in the Frontend Users (FEU) module. The value can be displayed or assigned to a Smarty variable for later use.

Create a UDT called get_feu_properties and paste the code below:

global $gCms;
$error = "";
$result = "";
$feusers = $gCms->modules['FrontEndUsers']['object'];
if ($feusers) {
   $username = $params['username'];
   if ($username == "") {
      $error = " [UDT get_feu_properties Error; Missing or empty parameter: username] ";
   }
   else {
      $uid = $feusers->GetUserID($username);
      if ($uid == "") {
         $property = "uid";
      }
      else {
         $property = $params['property'];
         if ($property == "") {
            $property = "uid";
            $result = $uid;
         }
         else {
            $properties = $feusers->GetUserProperties($uid);
            foreach($properties as $key=>$value) {
               if ($value["title"] == $property) {
                  $result = $value["data"];
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}
else {
   $error = " [UDT get_feu_properties Error; Can not communicate with FrontEndUsers module] ";
}
if ($error == "") {
   if ($params['method'] == "assign") {
      $gCms->smarty->assign($property, $result);
   }
   else {
      return $result;
   }
}
else {
   return $error;
}

Parameters:

username (required): the Frontend Users username.
property (optional): the name of the property value to return as the result; When not specified, the result will be the Frontend Users uid.
method (optional): when not specified, the result is simply displayed; When method="assign", the value is returned in a Smarty variable with the same name as the property.

Usage:

To display the user id (uid) of a FEU user named "Frank" use:

{get_feu_properties username="Frank"}

To display the value of the property "phone_number" of the user "Jane" use:

{get_feu_properties username="Jane" property="phone_number"}

To assign the value of the property "email_addr" of the currently logged in FEU user use:

{get_feu_properties username=$username property="email_addr" method="assign"}

In this case nothing is displayed but instead the variable "$email_addr" now contains this users' email address.

This UDT can be used in page content or, for example, in a Newletter Made Simple message to personalize mailings.

Author: Ron Wardenier

get_content_props [1]

This UDT gets all properties of a content:


global $gCms;
$db =& $gCms->GetDb();
$content_id = $gCms->variables['pageinfo']->content_id;
$fields = array();
$separator = '<br />';
$result = array();

if( isset($params['content_id']) ) {
        $content_id = trim($params['content_id']);
}

if( isset($params['fields']) ) {
        $fields = explode(',',trim($params['fields']));
}

if( isset($params['separator']) ) {
        $separator= $params['separator'];
}

$i=0;
$query = "SELECT prop_name,content FROM ".cms_db_prefix()."content_props WHERE content_id=".$content_id;
if(!empty($fields)) {
        $query .= " AND (";
        foreach($fields as $f)
        {
                $i++;
                $query .= "prop_name='".$f."'";
                if($i<count($fields))
                        $query .= " OR ";
        }
        $query .= ")";
}
$dbresult = $db->Execute($query);
while($dbresult && $row = $dbresult->FetchRow()) {
        $result[$row['prop_name']]['fieldname'] = $row['prop_name'];
        $result[$row['prop_name']]['data'] = $row['content'];
}

// assign vars to smarty
if( isset($params['assign']) ) {
        $smarty->assign(trim($params['assign']), $result);
}
// or just print out the result
else {
       $i=0;
        foreach($result as $res) {
                $i++;
                echo $res['data'];
                if($i<count($result))
                        echo $separator;
        }
}

How to use:

Store that code as an UDT named e.g. get_content_props. In your template/content call {get_content_props}. Using no params will print out all fields of the database table 'content_props'.

Available params:

fields="fieldname1,fieldname2,..." (optional) a list of fields that will be printed out separated by a separator. it must contain a list of the prop_names as they where stored in the database. if not set all properties will be printed out.

content_id="15" (optional) the id of the content that properties will be printed out. If not set the current contents id will be used.

separator="<br />" (optional) a character or HTML-Tag that separates the fields from each other if multiple fields are displayed. If not set a line break (
) will be used.

assign=content_props (optional) if set the field(s) will not be displayed instantly but smarty vars will be assigned to your template instead. That means you will have an array called {$content_props} that can be accessed in a {foreach}-loop in your template.

Examples:

This will print out all content properties of the current page separated by a linebreak:


{get_content_props}

This will print out all content properties of the page with the content_id "15" separated by a linebreak:


{get_content_props content_id="15"}

This will print out all content properties of the page with the content_id "15" separated by a comma:


{get_content_props content_id="15" separator=","}

This will only print out the properties named "extra1" and "extra2" of the current page separated by a linebreak:


{get_content_props fields="extra1,extra2"}

This will provide smarty variables that you can access after calling the UDT:


{get_content_props assign="content_props"}

{$content_props.content_en.data}
{$content_props.target.data}
{$content_props.extra1.data}

or this one:


{get_content_props assign=content_props}

{foreach from=$content_props item=prop}
{$prop.fieldname}:{$prop.data}
{/foreach}

Show links to pages at the same menu level

This UDT Shows links to pages at the same menu level in a " 1 2 3 < > " format, where 2 is the current page.

Task example:
-To create a menu entry: "items" to display many "item" pages and navigate through the item pages with links in "1 2 3 4 < >" fashion.

Solution:
-Create a "items" internal-link page linking to the first "item" page. (i.e. "item-1")
-Create pages "item-1","item-2",etc.. all hidden from menu, and with menu parent "items".
-Add the {list_siblings} UDT in each "item" page.

{list_siblings}

User Defined Tags for New Module (for older versions)

NOTE: Pagination is available by default in version 1.1. This information is for those still using the older versions.

This UDT allows you to add "Older/Newer News" type links at the bottom of pages containing News, as well as the page-number-links. Note that this does not work for 'news' type pages. You will need to set your page type to 'Content' and add the appropriate {news} or {cms_module} tags.

1. Create a User Defined Tag "newsindex" as follows:

global $gCms, $number;

$start  = ($_REQUEST['start'])  ? $_REQUEST['start']  : $params['start'];
$number = ($_REQUEST['number']) ? $_REQUEST['number'] : $params['number'];
$older  = $params['older'] ? $params['older'] : 'Older Stories';
$newer  = $params['newer'] ? $params['newer'] : 'Newer Stories';

/*Get URL for 1st page*/
$hm =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$firstpage = $gCms->variables['content_id'];
$curnode = &$hm->getNodeById($firstpage);
$curcontent =& $curnode->getContent();

/* Count the number of articles we have in total */
$db = &$gCms->db;
$tables=cms_db_prefix().'module_news';
$cond='';
if (isset($params['count_expired'])) {
	switch ($params['count_expired']) {
		case 'true':
			$cmpr='<';
			break;
		case 'false':
			$cmpr='>';
			break;
		default:
			return 'Wrong argument in "count_expired"';
	}
	$cond='(end_time '.$cmpr.' NOW() OR end_time IS NULL )';
}
if (isset($params['category'])) {
	$tables.=', '.cms_db_prefix().'module_news_categories';
	if ($cond!='') $cond.=" AND ";
	$cond.="(news_category_name	LIKE '".$params['category']."')	AND (".cms_db_prefix()."module_news_categories.news_category_id =	".cms_db_prefix()."module_news.news_category_id)";
}
if($cond!='') $cond='WHERE ('.$cond.')';
$query = 'SELECT COUNT(news_id) FROM '.$tables.' '.$cond;
$newscount = &$db->GetOne($query);

/* utility to make a URL */
function join_uri($middle) {
	global $gCms, $number;
	return 'index.php?page=' . $gCms->variables['page_name'] . '&start=' . $middle . '&number=' . $number;
}

/* Create the Next and Previous URLS */
$older_uri = join_uri($start + $number);
$newer_uri = (($_REQUEST['start'] - $params['number']) == $params['start'])
   ? $curcontent->GetURL()
   : join_uri($start - $number);

/* Make the page links */
$newscrumbs='';
$page = 0;
for( $i=0; $i <= $newscount; $i += $number ) {
	$page++;
	if( $i != $start ) {
		$newscrumbs .= ($i == $params['start'])

   ? "<a href=\"$older_uri\">$older</a>"
   : ''
);
$smarty->assign('news_crumbs',$newscrumbs);

This tag sets six smarty-variables (variables you can access in your page).

2. Create a page for your news. It should have a Content Type of 'Content' rather than 'News'

3. Execute your User Defined Tag by adding the following to the page's Content:

{newsindex number='5' start='0' category='General' count_expired='true' delimiter='|' older='Older Stories' newer='Newer Stories'}

Parameters:

start The story number to default to at the top of this page
number The number of stories to show on each page
category Specifies the category of the displayed news; if not specified, every category is included
count_expired Show expired news in the pagination (takes 'true' or 'false')
delimiter Specify the delimiter of the page-number-links, like ' | ' in 1 | 2 | 3
older: The text to use for the link to the previous page
newer: The text to use for the link to the next page

That will set the six smarty variables:

$news_start: The story number that starts the current page
$news_number: The number of stories on the current page
$news_newer_link: A link to the next page (if there is a next page, empty string otherwise)
$news_older_link: A link to the previous page (if there is a previous page, empty string otherwise)
$news_count: The total number of stories available to show
$news_crumbs: A list of pages (linked) separated by the delimiter provided

4. Add (or change) the {cms_module} or just {news} tag to insert your news, using the two variables:

{cms_module module='news' number=$news_number start=$news_start category='General' showarchive='true'}

Note that this must come after the previous tag.

5. Finally, create the next/prev links and the page-number-links ({$newscrumbs})

{$news_newer_link} {$news_crumbs} {$news_older_link}

In summary, add the following to your content:

{newsindex number='5' start='0' category='General' count_expired='true' delimiter='|' older='Older Stories' newer='Newer Stories'}
{cms_module module='news' number=$news_number start=$news_start category='General' showarchive='true'}
{$news_newer_link} {$news_crumbs} {$news_older_link}

This shows an archive of the now archived news with the proper pagination.

Check for (expire) dates

Call this UDT e.g. "datum"

/**
* DATUM checks whether the submitted date is older ($expired=true) or newer ($expired=false) 
* in comparison to the current date. It provides the numbers of days from today to the 
* submitted date if the date is in the future. 
*
* The variables are available via Smarty as {$expired}, {$num_days}, etc.
*
* @param    day          day of the month, 1 or 2 digits (e.g. 1)
* @param    month        numeric representation of a month, 1 or 2 digits (e.g. 7)
* @param    year         a full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits (e.g. 2008)
* @return   expired      true or false, see description above
* @return   num_days     numbers of days from today to the submitted date if the date is in the future
*
*/

global $gCms;
$smarty = &$gCms->GetSmarty();

$err = 'DATUM UDT error: No day, month or year submitted, correct form: e.g. {datum day="1" month="7" year="2008"}';

if (isset($params['day']) AND isset($params['month']) AND isset($params['year'])){
    $datum = mktime(0, 0, 0, $params[month], $params[day], $params[year]);
    $heute = mktime();

    if ($datum < $heute){
       $expired = true; // date expired
    } else {
       $expired = false; // date NOT expired
       $num_days = date(j, ($datum - $heute)); // numbers of days from today to the submitted date
    }
    $smarty->assign('expired', $expired); // make variable "expired" visible for CMSms 
    $smarty->assign('num_days', $num_days); // make variable "num_days" visible for CMSms
}else{
   echo '<p style="color:red; font-weight:bold;">'. $err . '</p>';
}

Usage in page or template (example):

{datum day="25" month="12" year="2008"} {* Invoke the UDT "datum" *}
{if !$expired} {* date is not expired *}
   Only {$num_days}
   {if $num_days == 1} 
      day
   {else}
      days
   {/if} 
   left until Christmas.
{else} {* date is expired *}
   Christmas is over for this year.
{/if}

get_template_vars

Very often when put image in the content I had to do small image and then bigger image. I have created tag which is triggered before content is send which creates thumbnails on the fly for big images depending on the image size defined by the content editdor.

1. Create user defined tag


 function replaceContentImageWithThumbs($txt, $thumb_prefix){

global $gCms;

$config =& $gCms->GetConfig();
$rootPath = $gCms->config["root_path"] ;
	$imgs = findAllImg($txt) ; 
	for ($i=0 ; $i < count($imgs); $i++){
		$filename = basename($imgs[$i]["src"]);
		
		//already a thumb?
		if (substr($filename, 0 ,strlen($filename)) != $thumb_prefix ){

			$imgInfo = getimagesize($rootPath."/".$imgs[$i]["src"]) ;

			//condition to generate thumb
			if ($imgInfo[0] > $imgs[$i]["width"] || $imgInfo[1] > $imgs[$i]["height"]){
			
				$thumbSrc = generateImgThumb($imgs[$i]["src"], $imgs[$i]["width"], $imgs[$i]["height"], $thumb_prefix);
				//let's replace the content
				$pattern = "<[iI][mM][gG][^>]*src=\"".$imgs[$i]["src"]."\"[^>]*>" ;
                                $a_pattern = "<[Aa][^>]*><[iI][mM][gG][^>]*src=\"".$imgs[$i]["src"]."\"[^>]*>\s*</a>" ;
				$pattern = "/".str_replace("/", "\/", $pattern)."/" ;
                                $a_pattern = "/".str_replace("/", "\/", $a_pattern)."/" ;

                                if (preg_match($a_pattern, $txt)){

				     $txt = preg_replace($pattern, $imgs[$i]["beforSrc"]."src=\"".$thumbSrc."\"".$imgs[$i]["afterSrc"], $txt) ; 
                                }else{

				     $txt = preg_replace($pattern, "<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"lightbox\" href=\"".$imgs[$i]["src"]."\">".$imgs[$i]["beforSrc"]."src=\"".$thumbSrc."\"".$imgs[$i]["afterSrc"]."</a>", $txt) ; 
                                }  

			}
		
		}
	}
	
	return $txt ; 
	
}

function findAllImg($txt){

preg_match_all("/<[iI][mM][gG][^>]*>/", $txt, $out, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

$k=0 ; 
for ($i = 0 ; $i < count($out[0]) ; $i++)
{

	$imgTxt = $out[0][$i] ; 
	preg_match("/width=\"([^\"]*)\"/", $imgTxt, $imgWidth);
	preg_match("/height=\"([^\"]*)\"/", $imgTxt, $imgHeight);
	preg_match("/(.*)src=\"([^\"]*)\"(.*)/", $imgTxt, $imgSrc);
	
	if (!empty($imgWidth[1]) && !empty($imgHeight[1]) && !empty($imgSrc[2]) ){
		$img[$k]["width"] = $imgWidth[1] ; 
		$img[$k]["height"] = $imgHeight[1] ; 
		$img[$k]["src"] = $imgSrc[2] ;
		$img[$k]["beforSrc"] = $imgSrc[1] ;
		$img[$k]["afterSrc"] = $imgSrc[3] ;		
		$k++;
	}
	
}

return $img ; 

}

//returns new path to thumb
function generateImgThumb($src, $width, $height, $thumb_prefix){

global $gCms;


$config =& $gCms->GetConfig();
$rootPath = $gCms->config["root_path"] ;
$imageManagerRelPath = "lib/filemanager/ImageManager/" ;
require_once($rootPath."/".$imageManagerRelPath."Classes/ImageManager.php"); 
require_once($rootPath."/".$imageManagerRelPath."config.inc.php"); 


$thumbName = getThumbPath($rootPath."/".$src, $thumb_prefix, $width, $height) ;

//generujemy miniaturke
if(!is_file($thumbName)){


$imgInfo = getimagesize($rootPath."/".$src);


if(!is_array($imgInfo))
  return $src;

require_once($rootPath."/".$imageManagerRelPath.'Classes/Thumbnail.php');


// if image smaller than config size for thumbs
	if ($imgInfo[0] <= $width && $imgInfo[1] <= $height)
	{
		$thumbnailer = new Thumbnail($imgInfo[0],$imgInfo[1]);
		$thumbnailer->createThumbnail($rootPath."/".$src, $thumbName);
	}
 
// if image bigger than config size for thumbs
	else {
		$thumbnailer = new Thumbnail($width, $height);
		$thumbnailer->createThumbnail($rootPath."/".$src, $thumbName);
	}


         if(is_file($thumbName))
         {
                 return getThumbPath($src,$thumb_prefix,$width,$height) ; 
         }

}

return getThumbPath($src,$thumb_prefix,$width,$height) ;

}

function getThumbPath($fullpathfile, $thumb_prefix, $width, $height) 
{

 $path_parts = pathinfo($fullpathfile);

 return $path_parts['dirname']."/".$thumb_prefix.$width."_".$height."_".$path_parts['basename'];

}



$propertyHolder = $params['content']->mProperties;
$values = $params['content']->mProperties->mPropertyValues ;
$thumb_prefix = "thumb_" ;

foreach($values as $key=>$value)
{

 if (substr($key, 0 ,7) == "content" ){
   $propertyHolder->SetValue($key, replaceContentImageWithThumbs($value, $thumb_prefix) ) ;
 }
				
}

2. Create event ContentEditPre which use this tag

Inserting an anchor in generated HTML

If you like to see your anchors with their names in the contents window of the editor then use this little UDT.

Put this in a user-defined tag named insert_anchor:

echo '<a name="' . $params['name'] . '"></a>';

Then in your content put this:

{insert_anchor name='anchorname'}

name - Is the name for the anchor.

In the generated HTML you will get this:

<a name="anchorname">

With the {anchor} or {cms_selflink} tags (part of the CMSMS installation) the anchor can be addressed with an internal page link.

Calculate distance between to Geo-Coordinates

This UDT can be used to calculate the distance between two places (straight line on a globe). It returns the distance in a selectable metric and detail. The default metric is "imperial miles" and only full miles (rounded)

Safe the code as {gps_distance} and use the following parameters:

²round: takes a full number (integer) as value and is used to determine the detail of the result (e.g: round=5)
convert: pick a shortcut from the code to convert result into this metric (e.g. convert="km")
gps_lat_1: Latitude of first GPS point (e.g. gps_lat_1=53.12456).
gps_long_1: Longitude of first GPS point
gps_lat_2: Latitude of second GPS point
gps_long_2: Longitude of second GPS point
²assign: assign output to variable

²=optional

//
// Check for parameters, if not set or empty, set default
//

// This parameter is used to select the scaling of the result returned
if (isset($params['round']) AND ($params['round'] != '')) {		
	$roundt = (integer)$params['round'];	
} else {$roundt = 0;}

setCookies

I wrote this User Defined Tag (UDT) to set multiple cookies. I saved it as "setCookies" in the site's UDT section.

Use it like this in the page:

{setCookies days='numDays' cookie1="value1" cookie2="value2"}

Required Parameters:

days='5' this sets the expiration date of the cookie.

This will work with versions of CMSMS that process the body before the head of the document. (Cookies must be sent before the <html>. So if you have it set up that CMSMS processes the head before the body, where your {setCookies} tag is, then it will not work.)

You can have as many cookie="value" pairs as you want, with any name you want, as long as each cookie name is unique.

if (isset($params)) {

    if (isset($params['days'])) {
        $expire=time() + ($params['days']*86400);
        
        foreach ($params as $name => $value) {
            if ($name!='days') {
                setcookie($name,$value,$expire); 
                unset($value);
                }
            }
        return;
        }
    else {
    	print('Error: setCookies parameter "days" is required');
    	}
    }

else {
    print('Error: setCookies requires parameters.');
    return;
    }
