installation error in WAMP Windows XP

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I find this project very interesting and promising. 
I installed it locally on my machine, it works but when accessing the CMS
index page (not the admin page) I receive this error:

"Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in
F:\wamp\www\galleryCMS\application\modules\page\page_blocks.php on line 7"

Any idea?
I would like to contribute in my spare time to this project, at least by
realising a news module (I know CI very well). 
Is there any doc about creating a module apart from that on the site?

Thanks

I should add also that:

1) routing seems wrong (link to "About" page doesnt work), neither does "What 
is a
content manager");

2) the message above appears under the (correct) date of the day (Today etc...)

Hi john,

Thanks for your message. 

I now fixed the $this error message. I didn't see it because I didn't use PHP5. 
Now
it should be ok. (I assume you use the latest from svn)

The news module is already done, but maybe needs to be improved. You can find 
it in
http://ci-cms.googlecode.com/svn/dev/modules/news/

What I would really need now is a gallery module.

Hi, 

thanks very much Eugene.

That problem is solved, but I can't still manage to route correctly. For 
instance, if
I go to:

http://localhost/galleryCMS/index.php/admin

it redirects me to 

http://localhost/galleryCMS/admin/login

which it cannot find, so I can't still access admin area.

Anyway I strongly suggest you to use PHP5 (and related syntax) even on CI (as 
opposed
for isntance to Kohana which is natively PHP5), it will help you reason in long 
terms.

For a gallery module, maybe we could plan/code it together when I come back 
from my
holidays (what it should do, how etc.)

Best,

Hi,

I think your problem is in apache rewritting.

I'm also now using Wampserver with mod rewritting in apache so I can use 
.htaccess

so instead of http://localhost/galleryCMS/index.php/admin it should be
http://localhost/galleryCMS/admin

But if really you have to use te index.php then put in your config file the 
index.php
(that is CodeIgniter)

I tried and it works great with PHP5 too

Thanks,

well actually I have mod_rewrite on, but when installing I had disabled 
.htaccess
because when accessing:

http://localhost/galleryCMS/

it pointed to WAMP Server Configuration Page (the one with the list "your 
projects"
of all the folders in your www directory, if you see what I mean). So after 
renaming
.htaccess I could at least see the home page, but I don't really know a lot 
about
routing (I never cared about routing actually). 
As of now, with mod_rewrite and the provided .htaccess:
____________________
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|application|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
____________________

even if I try http://localhost/galleryCMS/admin it still points me to the WAMP 
page.
Uhm...

That is a wamp configuration :-) 
Maybe you didn't allow .htaccess use in the directory where you put the cms

My self I'm using http://ci-cms/ really as a virtual server

This is what I did.

1. I added this line in c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1       ci-cms

2. I activated the rewrite module in Apache2 in wamp

3. In httpd.conf 

I un-commented the line

NameVirtualHost *:80

4. I added my virtualhost

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "E:\hery\dev\ci\ci-cms"
    ServerName ci-cms
<Directory "E:\hery\dev\ci\ci-cms">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Hi All,

When installing on WAMP without using a virtual host simply add the folder name 
to 
the rewrite rule like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|application|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /<yourfolder>/index.php/$1 [L]

If you replace "<yourfolder>" with the actual folder name inthe WAMP server's 
doc 
root (www) you can access the site without using virtual hosts

Just an additional note for those installing on wamp. Wamp does not accept 
short 
tags by default. You will need to turn on short tags or search the entire 
application directory and replace every occurence of "<?=" with "<?php echo ".

Hope this helps
