    Emails

    Thanks, it is now working properly. I had spent some time trying different quotes to see what happened, what I hadn't tried was the use of both.

    Emails

    Afraid that doesn't do anything, the link doesn't open at all.

    Emails

    Thanks Virtual, will get someone else to check that out as one of the Church wardens uses Firefox on Mac. Seemed to remember you helped out once before on some css, as it rendered differently on the mac. Now got a problem with it on IE7 and a bit on IE8. Hoping someone will have the solution for me.

    Emails

    It has just been pointed out to me that all the emails on one of my sites all go to the same person. Now they are set up with javascript to go to individuals. This is the page http://www.holytrinity-madeira.org/meet_us.php All the forwarders are in place, but I notice that when you click on the link it opens with the same email address for all. Any help on this one please.
  5. Quick question. How do I create more than one site using CMSMS on local server? Thanks
  6. Thanks for the replies. After sweating over installing CMS Made Simple, I think I am going to stick with that for the time being. When I first learnt to use Dreamweaver I found a book that showed you how to build your first site, and I took things from there, I had already learnt a bit of HTML and once I got going that was it. I have now got CMSMS running on the Wamp server which should make things easier, just a slight problem with phpmyadmin, which I will have to sort out later. Started to have a bit of a mess around here now, seeing what these tags are about and how I can alter them, or what is in them. I like the sound of removing them and using them in your own XHTML page, and making your own template, so I will look further into this. Probably the first question is about the way the logo is inserted, I can see where it is in the code, and that it looks to be a variable, (know a little bit of php thanks to Stefan) but can't work out how it actually works. I need to know these things!! I shall keep plugging away at this as I don't like to be defeated, so I shall probably be about on these boards again soon. Thanks.
  7. This is supposed to be simple, but I am really struggling with this. Not helped by trying to upgrade and my internet went down, eventually did a clean re install. I have it installed live as I have unlimited broadband, although we get a reasonable amount of downtime and it is not fast. I cannot find a "getting started" tutorial. I've tried reading all the documentation and end up getting lost. I'm not a novice by any means as am reasonably competent in hand coding and Dreamweaver, but am just totally lost with this. If I started editing the site that gets set up, then i lose this, how do i start a new site just so I can start playing around with layout etc. I really need to get going with something like this as other people need to be able to edit the websites I build without the need to know HTML. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. I have looked at the forums, but can't find anything.
  8. Thanks, I've got it working with the files on the download, I just need to get a semon now to try it out. I don't have any small mp3 files, all I have is music files which are quite big. Ideally the sermons should be written out, but they are not and there is no secretary. This is a very small evangelical church based here on the Island of Madeira, the minister also does radio broadcasts to The Azores, so recording is not a problem, but video and writing it down are.
  9. Not quite what I had in mind. Website is for a church and the Pastor wants to put his sermons online. He doesn't write them down, or only makes notes, so wants to put them on as an audio file. Hope this explains it.
  10. I have been asked if I can add audio files to a website. What is the best way to go about this please?

    CMSMS

    After installing Word Press successfully, I decided that something like CMSMS would be more useful for what I want to do. So I created another database on my host and installed it, as it says on the box it is simple. Slight problem, I now get a Error establishing a database connection on the wordpress site. Host is hostpapa and has 100 database allowance wordpress is www.mysite.com/blog and the cms is www.mysite.com/cmsmadesimple. Both are in folders on public_html. Any thoughts as to what I have done wrong please. Not found anything on any forums yet.
  12. Thanks again, I could log using the admin page, but needed the login/register links for others, all just experimental at the moment, but getting to grips with it. And have now inserted them. Now off to play with the css and adjust the layout.
  13. I have just downloaded WordPress and successfully got it working on my hosting. I then went looking for some more themes. The ones I like are on webshapes, but I have noticed that they are missing the login function, any reason as to why, and how do I overcome this?
  14. Thanks Susie, have now bookmarked it.
  15. Is it still possible to access this? I have some old posts that I would like to take a look at, and don't know where to find them.

    Hiding URL

    I'll start with the reason, just because I like the look rather than trying to hide which server side language I am using. I have seen one or two sites that do this and have looked around the internet on ways to do it, other than creating a folder for every file. With a site that is only 25 or so pages that wouldn't be a big problem. It boils down to using either .htaccess and mod_rewrite, which from what I see just directs one url to another or to this code that I found: ForceType application/x-httpd-php All files are saved without the .php extension (DW loves you doing this!) It works in localhost and works with IE7, but not with Firefox. In Firefox a window opens to say you have chose to open "file2 which is a: application/x-httpd-php What shoud Firefox do with this file? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
  17. May be it is a personal preference thing, but I hate Times New Roman. It was designed for printed stuff, and I still don't like it, much prefer Arial. Maybe use a sans serif font, verdana was designed for screen use and there are others out there.
  18. Thanks for that Virtual. My fault for not checking in Opera and Safari and also Chrome, especially as they are all loaded on my computer. Your alterations look good in them now, hopefully they do on the Mac as well.
  19. Might need some help on fixing that, as I don't have access to a Mac. Just shows that Firefox doesn't quite show the same as on Windows. Thanks for noticing that.
  20. This was a complete redesign as it had been mentioned that people were finding it difficult to find things, always hard as a designer as you know where the pages are. So rather than just try and rename pages, we went for a new look. Also changed from XHTML Transitonal to HTML Strict ww w.holy trinity-madeira.org Thanks to all those who have given me help, much appreciated.
  21. Most of the errors seem to relate to the use of the & sign instead of using & (which knowing my luck won't show properly) Basic errors and not checking. If I have checked with the correct design company they say they are using valid HTML and theirs doesn't validate. If you are paying for validation, it should validate. Tend to agree with the others that it should be centered, does tend to be a bit easier on the eye.

    Nested Lists

    Thanks Wickham, it's looking good now. Once I can upload then you can all review it.

    Nested Lists

    Don't you just love those nested lists!! Fairly certain the code is OK, but as I can't upload at the moment, can't check it. It should look something like this ww w.auxano creative.com/sitemap but mine is just in a straight line list even with Wickams code. Strange as the last time I did it, it worked. I start my css page with * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } so the defaults are already set.

    Nested Lists

    Building my sitemap using nested lists, which I have done before, but have now rebuilt my site and have had to do a new one. As I am having upload problems today I can't show the page and the code, but my problem is getting the list to indent, not sure why it isn't doing it as I used the same css as before. Previously the nested ul would be further across the page, now they are all in a straight line. html is Home Meet Us The Church Services Sermons The Cemetery Find Us Outreach Diary Weekly Events Future Events Past Events News BMDs Baptisms Weddings Funerals Flowers Business Plan Property Plan Garden Plan Fundraising Minutes Sitemap Useful Links css is #sitemap { text-indent: 100px; list-style-position: inside; }

    includes

    Thanks, got it all working now. Just the one file to edit and then 25 odd pages do it automatically.
