Making GetSimple even more dummy (client) proof. - Zegnåt - 2009-08-19 As I often come across people that would like really simple webpages that just need to work I find GetSimple to be an interesting CMS to look at. The problem with most of these people is that they have no knowledge about anything at all. Today is my first day of testing GetSimple and as one of the things I wanted to change the slug for the homepage, which is currently fixed on 'index'. I was a little disappointed when it told me I couldn't change it but I know some of my client would get completely frustrated by this. I tried to solve this problem by editting the associated line (#152) of edit.php. I made it as follows: Code: <input class="text short" type="text" id="post-uri" name="post-uri" value="<?php echo @$url ?>" <?php echo ($url=='index'?'disabled="disabled" ':''); ?>/></td> Could someone test this piece of code for me and report their findings? Maybe I'm just constantly overlooking something. I bet there are even more places that could be made more dummy proof. This does not mean the error messages can be removed, but it will add an extra layer of protection against stupidity. Thanks for your time.

This code will be included in the next release. Thank you!

Just curious. Good to hear you got it working in some way and even better to hear it will be implemented Making GetSimple even more dummy (client) proof. - ccagle8 - 2009-08-20 I've seen this problem before when coding (not GS). If a input field is shown as disabled, it returns a null value, no matter what is in it's value="" attribute. Making GetSimple even more dummy (client) proof. - crashfellow - 2009-09-05 Because disabled to my knowledge sets an input box as null not an empty string.

So instead of disabling it, make it readonly.' |
