Great news. Thank you.

I think this is great and would be interested to know if you have come up with a pricing scheme for this project yet.

More premium addons for X-cart means that our stores get better and our jobs become easier!

Well here is the trick...

The base system for TOTALCMS will be 100% Free. That will include the base system and the 2 modules TOTAL WEBSITE and EZ-PUBLISHER ( The section editor I mentioned) as well as some developer tools for advanced users, although it will be free donations are always welcome as this has taken a lot of time to develop and I wouldl ike to continue to build more modules for it and improve features.

The X-Cart modules are going to be priced according to their complexity but not too expensive. I am thinking around $20 for most modules. The batch editor will be $30.

I am hammering out code as fast as I can between working on my clients stuff so I will hopefully have it all ready by next weekend. Fingers crossed!

I applaud your effort.

Thats nice to have people give stuff Free and cheap, hard to see nowadays.

One new feature I am adding is a special batch processor which is ideal for people who have large numbers of products.

Batch processes include:

• Batch Price Updater
  Batch Shipping Adjustment ( Free Shipping on and off )
  Batch Delete Products

I have also built a section editor which is damned useful for clients who want to edit their own pages. You can assign single LINES or BLOCKS of the page for editing so they don't have to edit the entire page. This iwll save website / cart developers doing little changes that take up precious time.

Now that all sounds really smart, can't wait to see it!

Just installed this into my 3.4.8 cart for testing. Nice job...will be much easier to use than the various other solutions I've seen here.

Although I've gotten it installed and it seems to mostly work, I have a couple of problems:

1. After successfully creating a new content page, then pasting the link into a category description, I get the following error message:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "customer/main/showpage.tpl" in /home/yourempl/public_html/store/Smarty-2.5.0/Smarty.class.php on line 1042
б═ 

I've checked permissions, re-uploaded, etc....no change. Any ideas where to look?

2. When I click "To create html for another part of your site" I get a 404 error message for this URL:

http://youremployeehandbook.com/admin/cmsmanager.php?action=html

However, the file is in the right directory with the correct permissions. Any ideas on this one?



And a suggestion: when editing a content item, the linking URL is not shown again. It might be nice to always display that in case of need.

Of course, if your new version is close to release, I'll just not do anything about these errors and wait for the new and improved version 2!

Thanks for the great work! I'm looking forward to using this and will be first in line waving money for the new mods....

Hi,

First of all I couldnt get to the link http://youremployeehandbook.com/admin/cmsmanager.php?action=html

is your cart in a subdirectory? ie

http://youremployeehandbook.com/cart/admin/cmsmanager.php?action=html

Or something like that. If it is change the link to that in the cmsmanager.php

As for the first issue. I am not sure. if you pass me FTP access in a private message I will take a look at it for you.

Ok Announcement Time!

Total CMS is almost ready. I have been delayed due to some large client accounts needing attention but I am working to get this done in my spare time. I may just release the base system to get it out there and release modules as I complete them. If I cannot get it done within the week.

[chikira]

BTW your link will be

http://youremployeehandbook.com/store/admin/cmsmanager.php?action=html

I just played around with it and got it for you.

[zacsmith]

Sorry for the delay in answering...been crashing on another deadline.

That's great news about the CMS...it's sure to be a popular mod.

In the meantime, in case it's a problem that has crept into your latest version, here's a link that was generated by the CMS that results in an error message. Can you steer me in the right direction to squash the problem?

http://youremployeehandbook.com/store/customer/showpage.php?id=2

And here's a link to the page that results in a 404 error when clicking in EZ Admin to create a link to another part of the site:

http://youremployeehandbook.com/admin/cmsmanager.php?action=html

If either of these problems are taken care of in your new release, just let me know and I'll wait for it! Thanks for your efforts and help!

In the install txt #7

7. Open /skin1/admin/home.tpl and find the line that looks like :


I for some reason dont have a home.tpl in that directory. Only place i can find it is in /skin1/customer/home.tpl

Is this a typo in the install txt or am I missing a home.tpl file ?
