CMS Made Simple Forums

Here is my latest project for a local Church.  http://www.wgpc.orgThis was a fairly large project, over 80 pages of content and a few modules implemented:
Front End User Management
Form Builder
Polls Made Simple

Training was a big deal on this, and I made some video tutorials that I'm getting ready to share back to the wonderful CMSMS community?  Think folks will be interested in this?

Let me know what you think folks!

Well Done,

Nice and crisp. Admire the design aspect.

Did you design the layout and css yourself? What do you use for inspiration?

I just completed my first site in cmsms. I find it really hard to redesign the layout as it works great in the demo layout

I was going to make a screenshot tutorial for my client who is totally novice to computers, But yeah a video tutorial would be great help to this community.

It might inspire me to create a few tutorials myself, just like you have inspired me to go and make my site more eye-candy

So yes, I did find "inspiration" through another open source design a woman somewhere in Europe had out on the web....it was called "Red Pepper" but thats all I remember.  I changed it a lot, but the guts are definately there.  I like to use oswd.org to look for insipiration as there are many fine CSS-based templates.  Most you can use however you want and can customize them from there.  I also tend to create sites from scratch as I'm a web designer (no developer) by trade.  I'll be posting other work here as I use CMSMS more and more.....

As far as the tutorials, I uploaded them to JumpCut (a YouTube like deal), so I will share them somehow....I just need to make them public and organize them in a way that people will get use out of it.

Love your implementation of cms on this church site. Beautiful work.

Great work!  We'll be working on a church website next -- our second site using CMS MS , so am interested in your implementation. You didn't mention the Calendar module. I am guessing its the CMS MS Calendar module. Is it?

yes, its the CMSMS calendar module.  And actually, I'm working with another member to test his implementation of a recurring event designation which the church I built this for sorely wants.  So keep your eye out for that as it may come in handy.

Come in handy?! No kidding! Recuring events are essential! Actually, having done a church website using Easy phpCalendar, its very hard for me to go with the CMS MS Calendar mod, since its so much less functional -- not only does EPC have recurring events, but color coded event grouping, AJAX hover popups, etc. Its really hard for me to take a step backwards just to avoid a separate login for the calendar. I would love to be able to devote some personal programing time to bring the cmsms calendar up to that level, but that's not a realistic possibility right now.

How did you implement the "back" and "home" button that show on some pages, but not others?
I think you didnt use different templates for different pages, but just coded some script in one template?
Did you use custom tags? Would you share basic code or idea?
