There are three separate string variables you can set for the editing controls, modal window and gallery lightbox:
$webyep_JsLibariesType = "jquery";
$webyep_sModalWindowType = "jquery";
$webyep_LightboxType = "jquery";
jQuery is the default, because that is what a large majority of people are already using in websites. Other options include mootools, scriptaculous or none. That latter is probably what you need to be using if you are encountering Javascript conflicts. None will use standard browser window popups. No guarantees that this will fix the issues you are seeing (I don’t support TCMS) but it is worth a try.
Depending on your blogging requirements, WebYep can be used for a blog. Make use of the Loops function to create a simple blogging template, including the title, date and content for each article. Then you can login to your website and simply press the ‘+’ button each time you want to write a new article. A perfect solution if you don’t care for RSS, separate pages for each post, pagination and other fancy features etc. Put articles inside a WebYep Time Control stack, if you need to schedule their publication for a later date.
It probably would not be too hard (I can help) to write some jQuery that could assign each blog post title a unique permalink, so you have a means of linking to articles. And the possibility of generating a TOC (table of contents) of linked articles in a sidebar or elsewhere.
There is also a little known feature in the WebYep core that enables you to generate ‘virtual’ pages using the Menu element. From the user guide:
The Menu Element can be used to build simple menu structures. It is not intended to be used for main navigation, but for a subnavigation like for a “products” submenu.
A click on a Menu Element’s item causes it to jump to a configurable “detail” or “target” page. This target page file is always the same, regardless which menu item was clicked, but the contents of its WebYep Elements will be different! For each menu item a “virtual copy” of the target page is created – each such virtual copy can have different content for all the WebYep Elements in it.
So by linking a WebYep Menu Element to a page that contains WebYep Elements (by simply setting the “Page” attribute of the Menu Element) you can build a simple navigation. The target page’s WebYep Elements (like Long Text or Image Element etc.) will then show different content depending on which menu item was clicked.
So this could potentially offer another approach towards creating a simple blog with WebYep, if you need permalinks. Perfect to use for any other type of inventory you need to create too.
I have been giving consideration towards building a dedicated WebYep blogging stack to include in the existing pack, but not had time to work on it recently.
I’ll leave a link here for anybody else interested in trying WebYep: WebYep | Stacks4Stacks
I hear that WebYep CMS is getting an official website and payment gateway for the commercial version soon.
