When you create Anchors with Tiny MCE in CMSMS they just take you to the main page 

here is how to solve it:

1) open the file:   /modules/TinyMCE/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/advlink/js/advlink.js

2) located the line:      html += '<option value="#' + name + '">' + name + '</option>';

3) change to:        html += '<option value="{$page_alias}#' + name + '">' + name + '</option>';

4 )save file.

5) In admin goto content ->pages -> select page you want the anchour present

6) highlight the text you want anchor to jump to and click the Anchor icon (see pic below)

7)  name the Anchor, then highlight the text you want to link the anchor to and click the link button ( see pictures)

8) now when you select the relevant anchor it Automatically enters {$page_alias} before the link which will tell CMSMS to stay on the same page and not jump to the home page.

 If you want to change the www root directory from the pre-installed "wamp/www"

First open wamp -> click the wamp icon in the bottom right and hover over apache -> select httpd.conf

• Find the documentroot in the file.

• You should find a line that looks like DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/".

• Copy that line then put a # in front of it: #DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/" (We put the # character to comment this line.)

• Now paste this line and customize the root folder(www) path to: DocumentRoot "D:/Projects/" (In this case let us assume that the root folder is in the “Projects” folder of your “D” drive.)

• If you search again as above you’ll find another line like: 
  <Directory "C:/wamp/www/">

• Again copy the line, put a # in front, paste copied line below and adjust it to  
  <Directory "D:/Projects/">

• Now save the file and restart your Apache server to make the changes in action.

99% of computer users will get a virus or spyware within the next year solely from visiting a bad website that will infect your computer.

What is spyware?

The simplest way to describe spyware is a virus designed for the internet. Some spyware can be harmless, for example its purpose could be to track your browsing habits, then you could start receiving emails trying to sell you products.

Other spyware can be more sinister where its purpose can be to record all passwords, credit card details and any other personal information.

How to beat internet spyware!!

An effective way to prevent internet spyware is using a free program called web of trust.

Web of trust shows you which websites are good and which ones are bad by putting a colour coded circle next to each website:

An original manufactories charger costs around £30 however there are a vast amount of replica replacement chargers found on ebay costing around £7.

These can seem appealing especially with the well presented advert!!

Don't be fooled and don't waste your money as every experience we have had with this type of charger was:

• Faulty from the start
• Become faulty after a few months
• Become extremely hot
• Damaged laptop
• VERY Dangerous.

The latest issue we have had with one of these chargers was where it had completely melted the plastic on the laptop where you plug it in. This damaged the laptop stopping it from working, if it would of been left unattended it could of been very dangerous.

Our advice is always buy original

After having much trouble displaying multiple menus on each web page using CMS made simple, I decided to document how to do it as there was not much on the web.

Basically what I wanted was 3 different menus on each page (1 menu at the top and 2 running down the right hand side) I needed the menus to be always present on all pages and not just to rely on if the parent page is selected.

 Here is a step by step on how I manage to do this.

Step 1)

Set up your pages in groups labelling the parent the position of the menu and the children as the actual pages you want. e.g:

 1 top_menu (parent)

    o 1.1  Home page

    o 1.2  About

    o 1.3 Etc.

 2 side_menu (parent)

   o 2.1  Page a

   o 2.2   Page b

   o 2.3  Page c

   o 2.4  Etc

 3 Side_menu2(parent)

  o 3.1  Page a

  o 3.2  Page b

  o 3.3  Page c

Note that all pages must be created using content type content – (grouping the pages into subpages is not essential but it helps keep it organised.)

Here is a screen shot of my page structure 

Step2)

Open the template file where you want your menus to appear (layouts ->templates )

For the menu at the top enter the code:

{menu template="your_template" start_level="2"  start_page="top_bar" excludeprefix="top_bar" }

Note that the attributes top_bar is the name of my parent page for the top menu.

For the first side menu enter the code:

{menu template="your template" start_level="2" start_page="side_menu" excludeprefix="side_menu"}

For  the second side menu enter the code:

{menu template="your_template" start_level="2" start_page="side_menu2" excludeprefix="side_menu2"}

Step 3)

Almost done! all you have to do is make the parent pages inactive by going to (content->pages) then on the active column click the green tick on the 3 parent pages to make it appear a red cross. 

I hope you find this useful as it took me a good few hours to figure this out. - Please leave a comment to let me know how you went on or if you have any more info to add

Have you created a form with error control but when you click the submit button it jumps to the top of the page and does not have your form in display.

Below is some simple PHP and Javascript to maintain the position of the form when the submit button is pressed:

step 1: Put this in your head section:

<script type="text/javascript">

function saveScrollPositions(theForm) {

if(theForm) {

var scrolly = typeof window.pageYOffset != 'undefined' ? window.pageYOffset : document.documentElement.scrollTop;

var scrollx = typeof window.pageXOffset != 'undefined' ? window.pageXOffset : document.documentElement.scrollLeft;

theForm.scrollx.value = scrollx;

theForm.scrolly.value = scrolly;

}

}

</script>

Step 2: Start your form like this:

<form action="" name="form" method="post" onsubmit="return saveScrollPositions(this);">

<input type="hidden" name="scrollx" id="scrollx" value="0" />

<input type="hidden" name="scrolly" id="scrolly" value="0" />

Step 3: Put this just above </body>:

<?php

$scrollx = 0;

$scrolly = 0;

if(!empty($_REQUEST['scrollx'])) {

$scrollx = $_REQUEST['scrollx'];

}

if(!empty($_REQUEST['scrolly'])) {

$scrolly = $_REQUEST['scrolly'];

}

?>

<script type="text/javascript">

window.scrollTo(<?php echo "$scrollx" ?>, <?php echo "$scrolly" ?>);

</script>

If you would like to make the entire td area inside a table an actually link and not just the contents inside here is how to do it:

<table border=1>
<tr>
<td onclick="window.location.href='http://www.pchelpforyou.co.uk'">Click here for my website</td> 
</tr> 
</table>

td:hover{cursor:pointer;}

Are you having problems when you click on a folder in windows 7 but it opens in a separate window and not the same one?

This is due to a corrupt register entry and can be fixed by:

opening command prompt by going to START -> ALL PROGRAMS -> ACCESSORIES then Right click on command prompt and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Once the window has opened type:

regsvr32 "%SystemRoot%\System32\actxprxy.dll"
regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll"

Then restart your computer.

Please comment on this post!! Let me know how you get on or if you have any advice to add to this 

Wishing you a happy Christmas and a good start to the new year.

Thank you all for your custom throughout the year.
