Is CMSmadesimple unique?

[freshprofil]

Hi. I have started to use cmsmadesimple, and what i like so madly is how flexible and easy it is to edit the looks of the page. But all god things comes with a bad ting, CMSmadesimple is mabe a little bit to easy. - its almost there, but i need a few other things. For instance, more editiable blocks.. i have used the {content block="pagename"} but when i change page, the info in these also dissapears.. If no one knows a way to have these permanent on any page (without entering the info in every page manually) ?? that would be cool And i like how protected pages works, but when a user is logged in, he should be sent to a page made spesific for him with the content i want him to see (Im a webdesigner and want a page with the project status for the customer)...

Is there another system like this (the way you edit the design, css and all) annyone know about?

If not, i guess its to bad to ask here if annyone know about a similar system, i can be a really hi-tech system as long as i can make the layout ABSOLUTLY the way i want.. with no limits...

Well, as far as your first request....  HTML Blobs.

They are "global" and have the same permissions scheme as content does.  Make an html blob, give it a name, and insert into a page/template with {html_blob name='myblob'}

I'm not sure about ProtectedPages.  I've never used it myself...  Anyone?

I'm not opposed to talking about other CMS apps in the forums, but in that aspect we are pretty unique (from what I hear).  Take a look at http://opensourcecms.com for some of the other options out there.

Ask to petert why he prefer cmsmadesimple. , for me is easyest way to implement design from somebody else and allow for 'normal' user possibility easy change content of pages .... easy learning change design, easy creating user tags (PHP programs), easy learning change of content for anybody else ...

Hi, yes, i could use this.. but then it wont be easily modefyable.. (i think) I would like to style an infobox (recent clients i.e.) and be able to make a new page.. Kinda like Content block, only i want it to stay on every page

[Ted]

Why wouldn't it be easily modifyable?

How can i have a block called {content block="clientinfo"} to always stay in the i.e left side of the site while the user goes to other pages? Take a look at http://gallery.thefagerlands.com/cmsmadesimple, when you click "visjon" the "visjon" block apperas, but when you click "hjem" (home) it dissapears.. Do you mean i have to put the whole block into a blob, and refer to that blob whenever i make a new page?

Why not put the html blob into your template instead seperate from the content area, and then position it into place via css?

Ok.. i might be pretty new with cms at all.. but i dont know if i get you totally.. I have now put the lines :

{content block="visjontittel"} {content block="visjon"}

in a html blob. And in the template there are css for the posission of the div's. But the same problem.. i need to press the "visjon" in the menu to get the info.. are you meaning that i sould do something like this:

This is the header This is the text

Because i know this would work fine, but then its not to easely modefiable for a totally non techical customer... If this i what you mean, Then i get what you talking about

[Ted]

In your template, do:

Code: Select all

<div class="infobox3"> <div class="header">{html_blob name='visjontittel'}</div> <div class="info">{content}</div></div>

So, now {content} will change on a page by page basis, the html_blob will be the same for every page.

Make sense?

Yes, it makes sense. But then its like i tought. I still need to press a button to get the "info". i want a infobox with a title i.e: (title) "This week promo offer" and (info) with the information on the offers. I know i can use

Code: Select all

<div class="infobox3"> <div class="header">{html_blob name='visjontittel'}</div> <div class="info">{html_blob name='info'}</div></div>

but then i have to edit the html blob to change the content, insted of making a new page.. Thank you for your help

I also found another way to do this. I have edited the news summary and details output to make it look the way i want, i now i can use news as an easier way to enter data
