How to add a link on a column.

lckamal — Wed, 09 May 2012 16:41:49 -0400

I am trying to make a pdf file download
$this->data_table->add_action('file', 'assets/pdf/order/{file}', 'url');

but i get url with no file name like this:
http://localhost/ch/invoice/admin/assets/pdf/order/_______ filename mising here

what is the problem?

Or I should try other way to get the file downloaded from the datatable.

HELP! I got the white screen of death after merging in the latest master revision!

eriklharper — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:57:39 -0400

I had a previous site built on Fuel that I cloned last August and just got around to updating the site with the latest changes. Any clue as to what may be happening? My site returns a blank white screen with no HTML source at all.

Thanks,
Erik

Related model and FK error

DaxCax — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:09:48 -0400

Hello,

I'm getting an error when I try to relate two models (tour_events_model and courses_model). This is the error:

A Database Error Occurred

Error Number: 1054

Unknown column 'tm_Course.tour_event_id' in 'where clause'

SELECT tm_Course.*, courseName, city, TourEvent_id, eventName, Division_id, divisionName, RoundType_id, roundType, tm_Course.published FROM (tm_Course) LEFT JOIN tm_TourEvent ON tm_Course.TourEvent_id = tm_TourEvent.id LEFT JOIN tm_Division ON tm_Course.Division_id = tm_Division.id LEFT JOIN tm_RoundType ON tm_Course.RoundType_id = tm_RoundType.id WHERE `tm_Course`.`tour_event_id` = '9'

Filename: core/MY_Model.php

Line Number: 261

Problem is that there is no table.column like tm_Course.tour_event_id, instead I have tm_Course.TourEvent_id. Where do I change this, if I not want (other applications uses this db) to change column names in the database?

This is the code that triggers it:


        // ******************* NEW RELATED CATEGORY FIELD BEGIN *******************
        $related = array('tour_events' => 'courses_model');
        // ******************* NEW RELATED CATEGORY FIELD END ******************* 

        $fields = parent::form_fields($values, $related);

Thanks for any input!

CKEditor & preview

Gumster — Thu, 17 May 2012 04:15:27 -0400

Hi,

I've been using CKEditor as my WYSIWYG of choice but have noticed only recently the "preview" button is very different to the Markitup equivalent. I've just skimmed through the CKEditor developers guide and could find no mention of editing the preview functionality to make it similar to the Markitup one (ie insert WYSIWYG content into the fuel preview template).

I don't imagine this discrepancy in functionality is an accident - but I thought I'd ask anyway!

I've seen a solution in the making though with this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4401693/ckeditor-preview-method

Image upload in pages

driechel — Thu, 10 May 2012 10:05:19 -0400

Is there a work around for the problems mentioned in this topic: http://www.getfuelcms.com/forums/discussion/comment/2799/#Comment_2799

I have the same issues. How do other people do it when they want the customer to be able to upload images when they create pages in the admin.

Another question that I have. Is it possible to have the same option of choosing a picture like in you can do in a model when you use fields that end with image?

Internet Explorer & Session login

Gumster — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:14:54 -0400

I'm in the process of releasing a FUEL CMS site live, and the client is having an inordinate amount of trouble logging in to the FUEL admin with IE. I've tried everything from IE6 to IE10, on 4 different networks on 2 continents, but cannot recreate the problem (essentially a 403). Other browsers are OK for the client. However, I believe that there are some reported issues with IE and the CI Session library.

I've tried the hybrid library from http://www.matthewfedak.co.uk/session_hybrid_codeigniter.html but this hasn't seemingly helped, and am currently back with the default library, with database enabled & encryption, the cookie name with underscore removed, and 'saved_page_state_max' = 1.

What is the current best practice for this problem, if you've encountered it? And what is the process by which the /fuel cookies are created ?

From the ci_session table I have some entries that look like this:
a:1:{s:37:"fuel_20939f4faf5d01be73f3486c3ae6b248";a:0:{}}
but others with many more fields in the empty braces - is this the data limited by saved_page_state_max?

The issue is especially irksome in that this is the client's 1st impression, not of a great CMS, but something problematic and so far, insoluable (they installed Chrome to access the admin). I've categorised this in "bug reports" but it's more likely IE's fault.

Can't Upload a Publisher File?

brandonkboswell — Fri, 11 May 2012 12:26:28 -0400

I've recently created a new asset folder called "templates" and would like to be able to upload templates such as .indd,.pub,.pdf,.png,.jpeg. I've added the necessary MIME types to the mime.php in the config.

'pub'	=>	'application/x-mspublisher'

I've also added the following to MY_fuel.php


$config['editable_asset_filetypes'] = array(
	'images' => 'jpg|jpeg|jpe|gif|png|psd|ai|pdf|eps|ps|xls|ppt|tiff|tif|doc|docx|indd|inx|pub', 
	'pdf' => 'pdf',
	'templates' => 'psd|ai|pdf|eps|ps|xls|ppt|jpeg|jpg|jpe|png|tiff|tif|doc|docx|indd|inx|pub',
	'media' => 'jpg|jpeg|jpe|png|gif|mov|mp3|aiff|png|psd|ai|pdf|eps|ps|xls|ppt|tiff|tif|doc|docx|indd|inx|pub'
);

I've also added the following to my templates_model.php file


$fields['file_path_upload'] = array('type' => 'file', 'accept' => 'psd,ai,pdf,eps,ps,xls,ppt,jpeg,pub,jpg,jpe,png,tiff,tif,doc,docx,indd,inx', 'upload_path' => assets_server_path('templates'), 'overwrite' => TRUE);

Finally I've set the following in MY_fuel_module.php


$config['modules']['templates'] = array(
	'sanitize_images' => FALSE, // to prevent false positives with xss_clean image sanitation
	'sanitize_input'  => FALSE
);

All the other file types seem to work but for some reason the publisher files return with "The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed". Any idea what would cause this one filetype to fail?

Unable to login

datrim — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 14:01:06 -0500

Hi.
I built a site using FUEL and everything is working perfectly on my local WAMP server. I then transferred everything to my remote server and the site is up and running; however, I cannot login to the CMS. If I enter the correct login info it just bounces me back to the login page. If I enter incorrect information I get an error message. Any ideas?

Regards,
Chris.

Howto get FuelCMS working with NGINX?

el2ro — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 16:17:18 -0500

Hi,

Has someone got this working with Nginx and (php 5.2.x)?

I followed the instructions and got DB setup and those few configs. My problem now is that I can't log in to the admin backend.

If I go to www.domain.com/fuel --> it will redirect to domain.com/fuel/login/4c325a315a57773d which is ok. But if I enter admin / admin I will be redirected back to login page? (If entered something else I will get login error)

I am there stuck and I will not get into admin backend. Any clues what is going wrong?

I have tried with master and 0.91 version and both gives the same result.

When pressing login (when entered user & pass) it will:
post form to /fuel/login/4c325a315a57773d --> which will 302 redirect to /fuel
Which will 302 to /fuel/login/4c325a315a57773d

I will get ci_session cookie and fuel_something where value = 1 when trying to login.

This is needed for Nginx + php-fpm to get codeigniter to work at all.
fuel/application/config/config.php
$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";

Here are the most important part of my Nginx configs:

#RewriteRule ^(fuel/modules/(.+)?/assets/(.+)) - [L]
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)(fuel/modules/.*) /$2 last;
rewrite ^/(.*)(/assets/.*) /$2 last;
}

location ^~ /fuel/crons {
deny all;
}
location ^~ /fuel/data_backup {
deny all;
}

# Do not allow direct access to the CodeIgniter front controller
location ~* ^/index.php {
rewrite ^/index.php/?(.*)$ /$1 permanent;
}

location / {
try_files $uri @codeigniter;
}

# CodeIgniter Front Controller
location @codeigniter {
internal;
fastcgi_pass php_socket;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;

SELECT ASSETS

lstables — Fri, 11 May 2012 11:36:05 -0400

I have a form field like the following with a simple browse button to select a file locally.

$fields['product_first_image'] = array(
'label' => '
Product Photo 1

'.$img1,
'type' => 'file',
'order' => '14',
'upload_path' =>assets_server_path('images/products/'),
'overwrite' => TRUE,
'accept'=>'jpg|jpeg|gif|tiff|png',
);

I would also like the option of the select button, once pressed you can choose a file from the assets folder also.

Thanks

NT Popup on Admin Area

Joep — Fri, 11 May 2012 03:14:12 -0400

Our clients demand an IIS 7.5 NT login popup on the admin area. Ofcourse this will mean they will have a double login, but they are ok with that.

Is it possible to have an NT popup on the fuel admin. Its not that simple by adding the file to /fuel/ because the whole framework lies beyond that folder. Is there a folder that i can protect with NT popup that will be called onlyu by the fuel admin?

Thanks in advance.

One model that loads different tables

driechel — Mon, 07 May 2012 13:42:05 -0400

The situation is as follows. I have multiple pages with the same layout (5 blocks orso). Each block can be changed (inline editing) seperatly from the other blocks at the other pages. I offcourse can make different models for each individual block on every page. However I would like to have one model that dynamically loads an table dependent on which page the block is on.
Quite a difficult explanation but I dont know how to say it differently.
So lets I have a layout that calls a block: columnright.php:


$CI->load->model('banner_rechts_model'); 
$kolom = $CI->banner_rechts_model->find_all();

Just a part of the code but I do a for each and then a fuel_edit. Pretty straight forward.

Now the problem is that the model 'banner_rechts_model' should load a table based on an if statement. All the table in the database have the same name structure, they begin with the name of the view + _banner_rechts. However I do not know how I can get the name of the from withing the model:


class Banner_rechts_model extends Base_module_model {
    function __construct()
    {
    	$CI =& get_instance();

    	if ((' '.$CI->uri->segment(1)) == ' ') 
	{
		$table_to_load = 'mainpage_banner_rechts';
	} else if ($CI->uri->segment(1) == 'fuel' && $CI->uri->segment(3) == 'inline_edit')
	{
		????? How to get the name of the view file that the block is in?
              $table_to_load = view . '_banner_rechts';
	} 
	else
	{
		$table_to_load = trim($CI->uri->segment(1)) . '_banner_rechts';
	}
	parent::__construct($table_to_load);

As you can see I tried to do it with the URI. But that doesn't work because the URI only contains the name of the model.

I realize my explanation is quite vaque but I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Some admin pages are stuck loading

thisisflashpoint — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 15:32:08 -0500

I just installed Fuel and am every excited about its possibilities. I have installed Fuel on a site in a test directory called /test/. I am able to log in to the admin but when it loads everything loads except the dashboard area to the right just has two loading graphics sitting there. When I go to the some of the other links I get the same thing. Just a loading graphic and the page never loads. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike

Crazy problem with input fields not converting quotes!

pierlo — Wed, 02 May 2012 06:37:57 -0400

I need help! I'm probably on an outdated version or something, but I just found out that in one of my first projects with fuel from (2011) anywhere there's an input field double-quotes (like "this") don't get escaped automatically and the field they're in gets truncated inside the Fuel forms...
take a look here http://imgur.com/a/YMK2F
as you can see the quotes are saved fine (see the title on top of the form), but they're not converted to html entities upon saving.. this only happens in this particular project and I can't seem to understand why... i'm sure i didnt hack anything out of the source!
Is it possible this was a bug solved in a later version? I've tried replacing the Form_builder class with a recent version but no changes at all... please help! thanks!

FuelCMS - backend theme support?

pierlo — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:29:54 -0400

Is this already planned for the upcoming version? It would rock to have themes support, if not just because I'd love to cook up a Twitter Bootstrap powered theme for Fuel...
if none of this is already planned, would it be impossible to create a theme with the current version without hacking anything in the core?

UPDATE
I thought why not give Twitter Bootstrap a try and see how FuelCMS would look with it - so I went along and spent the last hour hacking some of the fuel/modules/fuel/views files and here's the results... kinda shabby actually.

http://imgur.com/a/ihY5z

Don't even ask why I did this, but I guess if you were planning to create a Bootstrap theme and were wondering how it would turn out looking... well, whatever. :)

UPDATE 2
also for those wondering, it's currently impossible to create a custom theme without changing the HTML (unless you really don't need to) ... what I found out is that the html is actually heavily intertwined within PHP functions both inside views (ie fuel/_blocks/fuel_header) or inside libraries (data_table, form) - although the latter are kinda obvious

Adding a related table to the FUEL module pages_model

Gumster — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 17:02:52 -0400

Hi,

I'm trying to add a documents field to the pages model, such that for any CMS page, the user might "attach" documents to it. These would then be downloadable on the page view.

I've followed the example in the category->articles tutorial, and while I've had success with that method with "simple" modules, I can't quite get it to work thoroughly for the pages_model.

I've got the combo box up in the CMS admin page, and this allows me to copy "documents" left to right, and save them (ie the lookup table gets the correct document id and page id recorded using the "on_after_save" hook). What doesn't happen is that, on page refresh, the right hand combo box does not record what is already associated.

How does the multiple select underlying the combo boxes read in the "selected" (ie previously attached) data?

Here's what I have in the form_fields method for the pages_model:


	function form_fields($values = array())
	{
		$related = array('documents' => 'documents_to_pages_model');
		$fields = parent::form_fields();
		$fields['date_added']['type'] = 'hidden';
		
		// ******************* NEW RELATED DOCUMENT FIELD BEGIN *******************

		$CI =& get_instance();
		$CI->load->model('documents_model');
		$CI->load->model('documents_to_pages_model');
		
		$document_options = $CI->documents_model->options_list('id', 'title', array('active' => 'yes'), 'title');
		$document_values = (!empty($values['id'])) ? array_keys($CI->documents_to_pages_model->find_all_array_assoc('document_id', array('page_id' => $values['id']))) : array();
		$fields['documents'] = array('label' => 'Documents', 'type' => 'array', 'class' => 'add_edit documents', 'options' => $document_options, 'value' => $document_values, 'mode' => 'multi');
		
			
		// ******************* NEW RELATED DOCUMENT FIELD END *******************
	
		$yes = lang('form_enum_option_yes');
		$no = lang('form_enum_option_no');
		$fields['cache']['options'] = array('yes' => $yes, 'no' => $no);
		return $fields;
	}

I imagine the $document_values for the select are not coming back as I expect.

The "documents_to_pages_model" table columns are: id, page_id, document_id, date_added, last_updated

Filter Search not working on one field in a Simple Module

eriklharper — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:24:54 -0400

Hello, I have a simple module to store helmet orders, and I have filters defined for each field in the model's database table. All of the fields are searchable in the Fuel admin, except for one called "transaction_id". It is a varchar field that just stores a typical order transaction number.

I even tried putting the number in quotes to see if the search worked, but it didn't. Every other field works fine. Do you know why?

Hacking the Blog Module to allow Comments on a Book content type

eriklharper — Sun, 06 May 2012 20:15:37 -0400

Hey guys,

I titled this post as such since I'm looking at a specific way to use the Blog module to my advantage for a client requirement. I'm doing a website for a book author, and they have the following requirements:

1) Each Book has its own full page view with a multitude of different types of information.
2) Each Book has the ability for people to leave a comment
3) Books would need to be rotated on the homepage

Here is the website: http://www.rivannariverbooks.com

My first thought was to create each book as a blog post, which would accomplish the comments objective right away. To improve the aesthetics and flexibility of this requirement, however, I thought I would look into ways that I can "hack" the functionality of the blog module to allow the commenting feature to work in either of two cases:

1) If each Book was created as a Page
2) If each Book was created in a Simple Module

I am not sure which of the above 2 configurations would be better from a simplicity and flexibility standpoint, but I am leaning towards #2 because I want the client to be able to manage their own Books and thus would need to setup a simple module for storing the Book information and control what books display on the homepage, etc.

Since the Blog documentation is fairly basic, can anyone give me some tips as to how to approach a feature like this? Is there a way to create a Simple Module that allows for comments, but doesn't re-write the whole comments module from scratch?

FYI, I have a good familiarity with Simple Modules (and I've created some advanced ones as well).

Thanks!
Erik

CodeIgniter Sparks in FuelCMS

mphillips — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:16:18 -0400

Does FuelCMS have support for Sparks? Is there any documentation on how to install sparks in the FuelCMS environment? Also, what version of CodeIgniter does FuelCMS use? Does it stay up-to-date with CodeIgniter releases? Thanks for the answers!

Wierd AJAX return

lstables — Mon, 07 May 2012 07:46:31 -0400

I am using AJAX to auto populate a Sub Categories select box, its contents depend on whats selected in the main Categories Select Box. It seems when I select a main Category and something is returned back, the Sub Category select vanishes and its replaced by an IFRAME of the homepage/index.php.

items : function(){
// call parent
fuel.controller.BaseFuelController.prototype.items.call(this);
//fuel.controller.BaseFuelController.prototype.items();
var _this = this;
$('#product_subcategory').change(function(e){
$('#form_table').submit();
});
},

add_edit : function(){

var origParentId = $('#product_subcategory').val();
var id = 5;
$('#product_category').change(function(e){

$fields['product_subcategory'] = array(
'label'=>'Product Subcategory',
'type'=>'select',
'options'=>$this->getsubcats($values['product_category'],$values['product_subcategory']),
'order' => '12'
);

// THE FUNCTION WITHIN THE MODEL

function getsubcats($cat,$sub) {
$subcats=array();
$q=$this->db->get_where('fuel_product_categories',array('category_name'=>$cat));
foreach($q->result() as $row) {
if($sub!=$row->subcategory_name) {
$subcats[$row->subcategory_name]=$row->subcategory_name;
}
}
$subcats[$sub]=$sub;
return $subcats;
}

All the ID's are set correctly in the fields!

Customizing using form builder

sid4it — Mon, 07 May 2012 01:47:51 -0400

I have a simple model
The fields that are displayed are dependent on user choosing from a dropdown field.
Ex:
Simple model
custom_users_model
id
types (1,2,all)
field1
field2
field3
field4

if user chooses type =1
field1 should be visible)
if user chooses type 2
field 2 is displayed.
if user chooses type =all
field1-field4 should be visible)

I did something like this..
$type_options = $CI->types_model->options_list('id', 'name');
$fields['type_id'] = array('type' => 'select', 'options' => $type_options, 'onClick' => 'chosefieldsBasedOnType(this)');

But -- was not able to over ride functionality - I know easy way out is to write a custom form - but want to leverage the framework..

please help - what is the best way to move forward.

In-Line Editing Issue - Site Variable

amoist — Sun, 06 May 2012 12:50:43 -0400

I've added a new site_variable which has a name of 'test' and an ID of 1. When I try to edit this via the in-line editor the value is not being found. I'm getting the following errors in the developer console. Looks like its trying to find the site_variable with a value of 0, which doesn't exist.

echo fuel_var('test',true,'default_value') ;

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) - /fuel/default/inline_edit/test/0

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Enum Select

lstables — Sun, 06 May 2012 11:43:43 -0400

Sorry for the 1000 Questions.

I have a database table with a field with a list of enum values i.e

Cat 1
Cat 2
Cat 3
Cat 4
Cat 5

OK When the form gets created by default you will see a nice auto select with the above options.

If I then want to add a reference in to customize that field i.e

$fields['category'] = array('label'=>'Category','type'=>'select','options'=>'','','order' => '11');

The options field is blank. How do I get the system to auto fill the select with the values in the enum list within the database?

Thanks
