PHP

[jop]

My web provider writes that I am using an outdated and slow version of PHP on my website, and they recommend that I update PHP, by removing the following line from the .htaccess file on my web space: AddType application/x-httpd-php56 .php.
I'm using CMSimple_XH 1.6.10 with a number of plugins. Is there a risk in doing this?

Yes unfortunately, the website will probably stop working/start with a fatal error message.
See also the thread here.

You can find upgrade instructions here: To upgrade your website to CMSimple_XH 1.7.0, do the following
This should also work for CMSimple_XH 1.7.6.

I also would recommend definitely the upgrade the whole website to 1.7.6 and then update also all possible plugins and the actual PHP (at least 7.x.). The procedure is not very complicated and you can find many posts about "how to" here in forum..

Thank you for your answer. I am now installing CMSimple_XH 1.7.6 and have a few questions. Template fhs-simple-2019: How to replace the XH logo with another logo? And another favicon? When making a bulleted list: How do you get the bullit drawn to stand exactly vertical under the text above (not offset to the left)?

The simplest way is:
1. Prepare your own images with same dimensions as the originals.
2. Look for the original names in the template.htm and stylesheet.css and replace them with your own names.
3. Save your new images into /templates/fhs-simple-2019/images
4. For creation of your own icons, use e.g. http://www.favicomatic.com

fhs-simple-2019/stylesheet.css ~Line 850

Code: Select all

ul.listUnordered ul,
ul.xh_search_results ul {
	margin: 0 0 0 1em; /* change to margin: 0;*/
	list-style: none;
}

Thanks - change in line 850 unfortunately doesn't work for me? (unfortunately just an amateur).

Could you please write the exact text to copy/overwrite to line 850?

Unfortunately not so simple for me (an amateur).Can't find the original names in template.htm and stylesheet.css.

These are the icon images (generatd by the online app):

Code: Select all

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="<?=$pth['folder']['templateimages']?>favicon/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="<?=$pth['folder']['templateimages']?>favicon/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="<?=$pth['folder']['templateimages']?>favicon/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="<?=$pth['folder']['templateimages']?>favicon/site.webmanifest">
<link rel="mask-icon" href="<?=$pth['folder']['templateimages']?>favicon/safari-pinned-tab.svg" color="#ff6600">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?=$pth['folder']['templateimages']?>favicon/favicon.ico">

These images are created by the application with the same names, so you only need to replace the files in the favicon folder. Basically you don't need to rename anything. Just replace the images by your new ones. You don't need to edit then anything in the template.
Here are the generated icons images and the logo images stored:

Is the website online, can you give us a link? Is it an ul or ol list?
