Overview

Post by jackgittes »

Hi there,

Have been playing with CMS Made Simple for a few days now and I must say it comes very close to what in my opinion a CMS should be. It's flexible and very customizable. But there is one thing I am not sure how to deal with it. Maybe someone can help.

I am building a website with several pages. One page has the title "The Books". This page contains an overview of books. That means with a title, a thumbnail and a short description. You can click on a book to get to a detail page.

The big question is this. How to deal with these books in the CMS? I think I will have to make a page for every book separately. But how can I display an overview of those books on the page "The Books". Do I have to use the {menu} option with extra parameters for example?

Hope someone can give some hints.

Regards,

Jack

you could use the {content_dump} plugin, but I think it would be much easier to use an existing module like News, Products, etc.
