Here's one I worked on, nothing special, just using CMSMS MLE 1.3.1 I believe, with the News module, and custom photo gallery:

Nice site - feature rich, clean design, and a perfect example of what the CMS can accomplish.

If I may offer one tip? The Site Map page gets a bit long (as they tend to do as sites get larger). I've started breaking mine up into columns (usually with a quick table, but css divs would do as well). Simply put a start parameter on the tag to limit what it shows:
{sitemap start_element="1"}
{sitemap start_element="2"}{sitemap start_element="3"}
{sitemap start_element="4"}, etc.

This will keep your site map a bit more manageable, and user-friendly.

I like it a lot. Nice and clean (which is totally my style) :), good job!

One tip: on the video page, the menu slides underneath the flash player (common problem with swf's/objects), maybe you should take another look at that..

Thanks for the suggestions, will look into the video page in the next round of edits , and re-arranging the sitemap...I thought the {sitemap} tag was depreciated though, just checked, and I was using the {site_mapper} tag,

One question, does anyone know how I can change "en_US" and "fr_FR" in the URL string to "eng" and "fra"?

Any step in the right direction would help!


Thanks,

JC

You're right - it should be used with start_page or start_element now (the Menu Manager parameters). I've been using 1.4.1 for a while and just switched over, and need to update a few tags. Thanks.

Take a look in the MLE help section, there's a very handy way to fix it :)..
