Complicated setup of CMS for new site.

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

Complicated setup of CMS for new site.

Post by Edmontonabguy »

CMS Made Simple is awesome and the only CMS I will use.

I am looking at building a site with thousands of pages SEO optimized and I would like to build templates and import data from a database yet to be built.
The main navigation menu would have the typical pages like home, about us, contact, and then cities with sub headings under a city name being beaches in that city.
I was thinking of building a Beach template with common content and then importing data which would include:  Name, Address, Type of beach, facilities, capacity of beach, length of beach ….
Also I would like to have each page become a sub domain ex; instead of www.beachreview.com/hotbeach.html  I would like  hotbeach.beachreview.com for each beach in the list.
Any advice or direction is appreciated.
Cheers,

Best practice is to read all the default install content/pages and then read the help for menu manager and how to make external links for sub domains, and play with it a bit, if you have any problems don't hesitate to come back and ask well researched and thoroughly  explained questions...

I guess I should have stated that I would like to add all the data via the database.
I have looked around and have not found information on modifying the database to create pages.

I fail to understand your issue with CMSms. Nothing wrong, right ?

It sounds like the OP is looking for information on how to add pages directly in the db, rather than through the standard Admin panel.  I think CMSMS is probably working fine, but he is wanting to do something a little different.
