CMS

[Ronfer]

Hi all!

I like very much cms made simple, even if I miss some functions to really use it.

I'd like to discuss the better strategy to implement these:

Search function in the content (should be easy)

Sub sections for content. Something like:

-Topic 1
+Topic 2
|- Topic 2.1
|- Topic 2.2
-Topic 3

An elegant way to put the menu (and footer) layout definition inside the db. The function should just provide an array with the menu structure while the presentation stuff based on smarty should stay in the template tables.

Before start working on this enanchement I'd like to know what do you think and how it should be better to add this feature to incorporate in the project.

For search engine a very simple framework for plug-ins or at least php-block should be defined, so I can easily extend functionalities...

Any suggestion?

Hi!

I'll try to come in IRC...I like your project even because of its simple design, which keep it fast and easy to manage.

Another feature that I'd like in the future (and should be planned in advance) is a sort of basic access managment for the content.

It should be possible to have users who cannot do any admin or content admin activity but can access some documents or sections which aren't available to anonymous users.

It could just be a very basic permission management system, but in many occasion there are private areas of content in many sites.

This are my 02 cents of Euro

Ronfer,

We already have a ticket for user logins to be included as part of the CMS core.

http://trac.wishy.org/cms/ticket/16

I believe any private areas or files would be handled by a plugin/module. We want to keep the CMS core clean and have modules handle user permissions as they see fit. This allows the most flexibility without cluttering the core with too much user management features that could get in the way of other things, or make modules more difficult to write if the permissions are locked into the core.
