Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.2.1
Nov 25, 2007 by Ted Kulp
It's that time again. This is a maintenance release with no security fixes, so use your judgement for upgrading (just backup, please!).
Thanks go out to RonnyK, hExDj, reneh, and fransman for testing this one!
Version 1.2.1 "Bridgetown" ----------------- - New versions of News, Search, Tiny, and FileManager modules - see the documentation for each module to learn what has changed - some of these modules may have been released seperately at an earlier date - Fixes the issue with pages being set inactive on edit if not edited by somebody with the 'Modify Site Structure' permission - Adds the cms_move_uploaded_file function that all modules should use from now on to assist in handling file uploads. - Adds the ability to set a 'home page' in the user prefences to determine a page to redirect to upon login. - Adds a 'Home' menu item under 'Main' - Adds a site preference for date format - Adds the cms_date_format modifier that reads the site preference as well as the user preference for date format (when in the admin section)

Hi,
I just upgraded from 1.2 to 1.2.1 and all of a sudden my user defined tags are reported unkonwn to Smarty.
You can see the errors I get at http://munk.hum.aau.dk/1_2_1_problem.JPG
What can be wrong?
I checked the config.php an discovered that under previous versions
$config['use_smarty_php_tags'] = false;
but it had not had any effect.
I then changed it to
$config['use_smarty_php_tags'] = true;
but with no change in
So I'm a little confused... Luckily the site is still under development and not official, so panic has not entered yet ;-)
I use the php-tags to do external calls to databases running parallel to CMS Made Simple, up to now with no problems. I hope you guys have a fix?

I can't see this permission : do you mean the "Modify page structure" permission ?

I have the exact same problem as Jørgen Albretsen.
Even the supplied tag "custom_copyright" does not work anymore.
Any hints as to why and when this happens?
Luckily my site is also in development actually, but how come that this was not mentioned?

You should post on the forums with such questions instead of on the blog

Hi,
I have similar problem as in first response. After upgrading from 1.2 to 1.2.1 I see in standard global content block "footer" this error:
string(135) "Smarty error: [in globalcontent:footer line 1]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'custom_copyright' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)"
custop_copyright is original without any changes.
I can give more details if will be needed.
sorry for my english.
Thanx Radim

Great stuff. I'm from Barbados so I am curious to know how come you named this build and the previous one Bridgetown and Barbados respectively? Did someone visit?

You should probably ask them to test it more next time :P
To everyone above, the 1.2.2 release solves those issues.

My website displays the date on the home page by using GIF image files. i use PHP code in the user-defined tags to show the date in the format I want (echo date('d'); - for example), then bring it up on the home page.
Everything worked fine until I've updated to 1.2.1. It just doesn't work anymore... 1.2.2 doesn't fix the problem. I see there's a new cms_date_format modifier, but i have no idea what that means, and i can find nothing on the website... anyone able to help?
