CMS Made Simple 1.0.8 "Kona"
PHP Version 5.2.1
Apache release 10334100 (I think)
Site: http://www.indycm.com/
Pages of interest:
PAGE 1- http://www.indycm.com/index.php?page=content_Featured_Vendor
PAGE 2- http://www.indycm.com/index.php?page=content_Vendor
Ok! I will try to keep this consice and clear, even though I'm new to CMSMS and its a little fuzzy to me still
. One of the requests for this project is that all the 'vendors' in the list of links on PAGE 1 all have their own versions of a 'detail' page; PAGE 2.
Each of these vendors will have ownsership of their own content page so that they can only view and edit that one content page with their individual logins, they have no group assignments or other privileges.
Now on PAGE 1 there is a portion of the page on the right-hand side that displays some information about a random vendor. This data is the same as the data on the individual vendor page PAGE 2 (also off to the right side of the page).
I have put placeholder content pages in for 2 of the vendors
SAMPLE 1- Dotties Deli & Cheese Shop http://www.indycm.com/index.php?page=content_Vendor_dottiesdeli
SAMPLE 2- Potatoes N' More http://www.indycm.com/index.php?page=content_Vendor_potatoes
Otherwise all the other vendors just go to one generic page.
Now, here is the big question. Is there a way to do this so that PAGE 1 pulls data from PAGE 2? Or, if not, is there a way that this can be done and have it so that the vendors still dont have access to anything else but their own content page?
I did have the thought to define the vendor content in some user defined tag but then the vendors wouldnt be able to edit it unless I gave them permissions, but then they have permissions to edit all tags and not just their own.
I keep trying to think on it but I end up at the same conclusion, I can't really do it within the framework of the CMS. I think I could write a small little php thing that would store all the vendor data in an XML file and randomly pick/display one for PAGE 1 and then each individual vendor page would have its php to retrieve its specific data for PAGE 2... thats about as far as I've gotten with this particular requirement.
Any thoughts-comments-suggestions would be greatly appreciated
, and much thanks in advance (and apologies if this rambling post doesnt make any sense). If theres anything else I can provide to assist in assisting me just let me know. Cheers!
