content management

Does anyone know where I could get some samples/tutorials of some content management systems, such as dynamically creating new pages and linking them into the rest of the pages in a website? regards Shaun A CF Newbie --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Mark Thanks for replying! I am currently trying to build my first cms app as well. I had a quick look around the site you are developing and have a few questions. Is the menu dropdown dynamic and if so, how have you approached users creating new pages and creating new weblinks?

Hi Mark We spoke briefly a few days ago. If you have any spare time it would be great if you answer a few questions I have about cms? How did you set up the initial navigation structure? How does the add a page work, how do you link it into the rest of the site?    -can you create sublevels in different sections? Could I possibly see a test backend to see how you have it working?

Shaun, I would strongly recommend not considering the approach I think you are proposing. Your best solution is to have the CMS manage the navigation structure for your site and embed/plug-in the content from the 'other' pages into the CMS system. Content systems give a lot of flexibility, but usually manage all content on a site.

What approach do you think he's consdidering?  And why do you recommend against this as-yet unknown approach?

To be honest, I have not yet built a CMS app and would appreciate any help or advice on approaching the design and build. Users would have the ability to create: new areas, new pages, use a choice of templates to build pages, etc Regards Shaun --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

have a look at sourceforge.net, there are a few open source CF CMS projects there. (well, most are really site management systems, but that seems to be what you're after) ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Did the list subscription specifically say that you had to be a CF expert? No, I thought it was a open source mailing list to shares ideas, and help one another, obviously not, eh? You should include yourself in your nitwit category, the two posts you made today where to moan! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Shaun, I wasn't commenting on anything you said.  Maybe I should have changed the subject.  I was commenting on the 1/2 dozen or so unsubcribe attempts. Trust me, I've asked some dumb questions on these CF lists.  Your question regarding content management systems was a good one.

The first thing to consideris who will be using and updating the CM system, 2nd is How much power will your CM have? Will the system simply index pages and sort/display content in a logical order. Or will you have a system that allows the user to design templates on the fly. Most content management systems do not allow easy "design" of pages, the bulk of that is done in an editor of your choosing and then pasted into the CM. This is the easist to build but not that flexible on the user side. The best way to do this on a level that is not out of reach to all but the best is to build your template as includes. and store the url for the include files in a database. This is a quick wayt to get going. NOT The best, but workable. The content is also kept in a database and"included" and defined in your templates and database. NOTE* include files for query and display as url includes Much sample code is a the macromedia cfml support page Good luck!
