Is it right for me?

Post by PSNick »

Hello,

I have a particular need for a CMS, explained below, and i was hoping the community would be able to tell me if CMSMS would help me achieve my goals either with the core installation or with available mods.

I am currently in need of a CMS to hold several of the same type of page, so it should preferably be able to have a page template that can be reused. Each page should have an application name, uploaded document files related to it, the servers in which these apps are running on, and support contacts related to that application (especially the contacts should be stored in a database since we reuse many of them and bind them to different of this application pages).
Also if possible, the search results need to display particular fields of those pages, being able to search by server/system, contacts, applications. (Preferable, not necessary)
And finally, it should be possible to edit each page and the related information directly on that page or link to the edit page from there, instead of using an admin panel (Only for these pages, templates and any other admin information can use an admin page). (Also preferable, not necessary)

Thank you very much reading and any help you can provide, i really appreciate it!

Nick.

It sounds like CMSMS combined with the Products module should suit your needs. Search the CMS Show Off section for some websites which use Products for some great examples; the module is very flexible and not tied to presenting information about physical products.
And finally, it should be possible to edit each page and the related information directly on that page or link to the edit page from there, instead of using an admin panel
Sounds like you want a front-end visitor to be able to edit details; consider the Frontend Users (FEU) module.

Thanks for the help, i've been trying a couple of CMS already and next in line is this one. I'll give it a try and check the modules you suggested to see if it fits my needs. Thank you!

Should you have any other recommendations, they'll be most appreciated.
