Development charity website
Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2016 11:52 am
We sneaked out our first V2.0 website just before Christmas for an agricultural development charity working in rural Africa.

We ended up creating five(!) bespoke modules to let the client manage various aspects of the site. That includes creating a filemanger module to let the client upload images and documents from within a module. We also had to adapt MicroTiny a bit to get it to do what we needed - although now that's been superseded by the TinyMCE update (hooray).
It makes a lot of use of CGSmartImage which we use more and more these days to optimize delivery of user uploaded pictures. Apart from that and CGSimpleSmarty and CGExtensions there's not any non-core modules other than the ones we created.
There was quite a steep learning curve on the new design manager but we got there in the end, and we're pretty happy with the result.
