ExpressionEngine Multiple Site Manager and Member Groups
I’m looking for some links to further info on how EE handles Member Groups in relation to the MSM. In my case, I have two membership sites. Generally speaking, the two sites serve the same overall group of people, so the fact that the MSM shares the member database works in my favor. What I’m unclear about is how to manage the varying c...
Issues with FastCGI and links containing index.php? versus index.php
On a Windows 2003 server running IIS 6.0 and FastCGI with an ExpressionEngine-powered website, I've encountered an issue where links containing index.php fail unless a question mark is added. The basic issue is that if a link points to "index.php/archive/article", the page fails to load (see below) but it will work when "index.php?/arc...

ExpressionEngine: which hooks to use to rewrite field contents on save and edit?
Not having much luck with this query in the ExpressionEngine forums and it's time-sensitive, so I figured I'd see if there's any EE-junkies hanging around Stack Overflow. I'm working on an EE extension and I need to know what hooks to use to parse a custom field's contents when it's first saved, parse it before being displayed to be edi...
How can I get Excel-like formulas in .Net?
Should I use a commercial component? Should I roll my own expression evaluator? Should I roll my own dynamic language? I know programmers are notorious for wanting to write their own language, but this is not the case here. The less work, the better. Lets assume that compatibility with Excel formulas is not a strict requirement; if t...
Recommend PHP/MySQL CMS with paid/premium content support
I am looking at some solutions for building a site with a mix of free and paid/premium content (no, it's not porn). I gather that Drupal has the Premium plugin which supports this. I'm also looking at Expression Engine, which seems to have some built in support for this, although Paypal is the only payment option. I'm looking at aMe...

ExpressionEngine not functioning properly after hosting transfer
Just transferred an Expression Engine web site to a new hosting environment. New server is Windows 2003 Standard running PHP 5.2.44 via FastCGI and IIS 6.

Am I missing the point of Expression Engine?
Lots of people rave about Expression Engine, but I seem to be missing the point of it. The video tutorials show someone pasting entire HTML pages (which are inexplicably called "templates") into the system, making it appear that there isn't even a way to apply a site-wide template to your pages. Am I missing the point here? If you've use...
