| August 14, 2007 @ 6:39pm | Thanks David!
I guess the best way to learn is to start building a store.The multiple photo feature is not available in many carts and now I am using a comment box on checkout (Cubecart). I purchased a textbox mod but lose it among many others every time an update has to be done, too frequent for me with so many 3rd party add-ons needed.
Over 2 years with FlexCMS and I am still as pleased with the quality and support as I was the first day!

| FlexCMS with PHP SuExec | August 14, 2007 @ 6:18pm | Many hosting companies and server administrators are switching their servers over to a PHP SuExec type setup for better security. This information will help you use FlexCMS on those servers.
If you're installing a new site using FlexCMS v2.5, it contains chmod options to allow you to specify the permissions for the files and folders it creates.
For existing installations being moved to a server with PHP SuExec installed, you'll most likely need to lower the permissions on your folders to 755 and your files to 644. You can either do this manually, or download this script to do it for you. To use the script, just unzip and upload the chmod.php file to your site's main directory, then run it from a browser. Note that it will chmod all files and folders in and below the folder it's run from to 755 for folders and 644 for files.
If you're using the .htaccess file provided with FlexCMS to convert index.php to something else without the .php, you'll also need to make a minor change to it to resolve the "500 Error" you're most likely now getting. Instead of "ForceType" you can use "SetHandler" for the same effect. So your .htaccess might look like this:
Code
<Files yournewname>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files> |

| August 14, 2007 @ 5:42pm | Donna,
Glad to hear you're thinking about switching your cart to FlexCMS.
There can be one or two dropdowns for the product options, which will populate automatically depending on the available items that match those options. The titles for the options can also be different per product, so for example one product could have Size and Color, and another could have Width and Length. Each combination (such as XXL in Blue) becomes its own Item within that Product, and has its own individual price and inventory number (if you choose to track inventory). Then you would create another item for each of the other combinations (XXL Green, Small Blue, Small Green, etc). If you created those four items from my quick example above, you would have a dropdown for Sizes containing Small and XXL, and a second dropdown for Color containing Blue and Green. The second dropdown changes after a selection is made from the first, so if XXL was only available in Green for example, the color dropdown would only contain Green when XXL was selected, but would contain Blue and Green when Small was selected.
At this point those are the only product options available. A text box for custom orders or something like that isn't currently available, however there is a large text area at the final checkout page where instructions could be entered. And of course we're always trying to make FlexCMS better to fit the needs of our clients, so we'd love to hear any changes you would make to have it work better for your store.
Yes, you can add up to 5 pictures for each product. They will generate thumbnails automatically and then can be clicked on for the larger version.

| Shopping cart questions | August 14, 2007 @ 4:56pm | I am thinking about changing to FlexCMS for my shopping cart but can't figure out a few things just looking at it.
How many options can there be per product, such as size, color,etc? I have some items requiring 4 or 5 and some needing a text box for customizing instructions. I can work around the textbox if there is an option to add comments at checkout.
Can more than one photo be added for an item?
Thanks!

| August 12, 2007 @ 1:25pm | Hi Anne,
Thanks for your interest in FlexCMS.
FlexCMS is licensed per installation location, so each specific URL, whether it's a separate domain name, a subdomain, or a subfolder, requires its own unique license key to operate. Exceptions to this are http/https and with/without "www." will work with the same license.
The reason for this was to prevent one FlexCMS license from being used to host hundreds or thousands of sites under the same domain name. We offer a number of different options for businesses wishing to use FlexCMS for their client sites, from bulk license discounts to branded and non-branded reseller plans. If you have any special licensing requirements we're happy to discuss those with you as well.
It should also be noted that you can install the free version anywhere you want as many times as you wish without any limits. It can be used to create a fully functional site, and then you can upgrade any you wish to standard or professional without losing any settings or content created.
Thanks,
David |

| License Pricing | August 12, 2007 @ 12:56pm | I am looking at using Flex CMS to run some of my sites (I have numerous).
On the pricing page it states there is a one time fee only, yet in the license documentation, it states that each domain needs a separate license.
Does this mean there is a one time fee per domain, or a one time fee only. If it is a per domain fee, does that include subdomains and addon domains as well. Sorry that I am a little confused by this
When I use a product, I am always happy to provide a link to the resources that I use, because after all when something is a good product I want to share it with others.

Yes I do use firefox. Maybe it is because I'm closing a tab down and not the whole browser.
Thanks for your answer

Are you by chance using Mozilla/Firefox? I've seen this a few times off and on, and as far as I can tell it's a browser problem, and somewhat random. Any site I've ever had that problem with worked just fine with other browsers.

| Very simple question - How to log out | August 8, 2007 @ 4:52am | Hi,
As you know I'm a great fan of Flexcms.
Today I realise there is a very basic task I don't know how to do.
I normally log in as admin and alway have a log out option in the right hand bar.
Today I created a guest account, logged in and low and behold I can't log out. I have had to clear my browser cache to log back in as admin.
Surely I'm missing something very basic here.
Please help.
All the best
Steve |

You can download an updated inc-core-admin-settings-save.php file here. You'll need to download and unzip it, then upload the file to your server replacing the existing one there. It stands to reason that you won't be able to overwrite that one for the same reason as the template, though!
Strange that the CPanel file manager wouldn't let you change the permissions on the file. The file manager should be running as the same user as the main web server which created the files, and be the owner of them. The 553 error is also interesting, as it indicates an illegal file name or path problem. Are you able to upload and replace other files elsewhere on this account?
Feel free to email us FTP and/or CPanel information to if you'd like us to have a closer look for you.
