International site customisation

[mattandaniel]

Hi There,

I tried posting this in General Discussion but I think it's a bit too techy.

I love the look and simplicity (!) of CMSMS, but I have an odd requirement for the site I need to do.

The site will be for both Australia and New Zealand. The majority of the content will be shared, although some pages will be 'Australia Only' or 'New Zealand Only', and there will be some pages where there is a different version for each country. When the user enters the site they will select their country and be shown the appropriate content. Does this sound possible in CMSMS? Realistically, will this take a lot of hacking to achieve?

Thanks for your help

Matt

The easiest way to achieve this is to create to separate hierarchies for your site (one in Australia and one for New Zealand) like this:

Code: Select all

1. Australia
1.1 Home
1.2 foo
2. New Zealand
2.1 Home
2.2 bar

And then only display the menu for the appropriate version.

That would be ok, but I'm trying to avoid the suer having to replicate content from one site to the other. I suppose an option would be to build in a way to either copy a page from one point in the heirarchy to another. Anybody else have some ideas? I'd like to use CMSMS for this ...
