I'm too old to read all that documentation stuff, so I gave up on a 'nice' solution and fudged around it using one of the canned user tags is CMSMS. Good job the code isn't visible to the client Although my original issue is not SOLVED, I'm happy to go with what I have right now.

<?php echo '<img src="images/more-but.png"/>'?>

Long time away, so apologies in advance if this is posted in the wrong place, question is too vague, etc. It'll take a while to get in the swing of things ... I am working on a site using a CMSmadesimple. I would like to have an image in the sidebar (part of the main template file) which is the same image for each page within the same 'parent' group of menu options, i.e. the image is representative of the group of sub-menu options. I will have a different image for each other group of menu options. Looking at the template_vars, it appears that 'position' is the variable I need, but I can't figure out how to abstract it and use it in a bit of script to display the correct image. Unfortunately, the Smarty documentation is not as idiot-friendly as I need to help myself. All suggestions appreciated.

I don't know what you need either. Do you have a server? Does it support php? Do you have a database?

A web link to the online version isn't really going to help. All it will show is the generated HTML. Also be specific as to what isn't working.

Whatever you're using as a validator isn't ... http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator with your code pasted in reveals it's compliant with warnings

divide it by a hundred!!

If the generated html works in browser x then it'll work in any browser. It may not necessarily perform the way you expect but I can't believe browser x works and browser y produces a white page. The concept of "doesn't work" is too vague to suggest any fixes. If it works without your login script and produces a 'white page' with your login script then your login script is the problem. And until you turn on error display and error reporting, you're never going to solve the problem.

The whole white page thing makes no sense. Make sure that you have error_reporting turned on and error_display turned on for all of your pages and then act to fix the error messages that get displayed. Without knowing what the errors are, neither you nor we could ever guess what the problem is. If error_reporting is on and error_display is on and you still get a 'white page', it's because the script executed perfectly (according to any conditional logic you had) and there were no lines that generated output ... unless you're using the same colour for text as the background. A page that craps out then works when you force a refresh is symptomatic of a whole different family of problems.

Using Firefox, the Galleries page ... Does that help?

Try another browser and report back.

I'm intrigued by the 'blank white page' that appears to work when refresh/reload is used. When you get the blank white page, try using the browser's View>Source to see what generated HTML exists. There may be a clue there.

Normally, that behaviour comes from unquoted variables in the form inputs. Your's looks OK. View the HTML source (of your form) to confirm you really do have quoted variables.
