Custom field capability

Post by Anastasis »

Hi - I have just made it back on to the forum after many months of being away. I was using CMSMS for developing a new site for my employer but then they postponed further development and its still that way with no likelihood of resuming in the forseeable future.

My reason for coming back now is to consider using CMSMS for a website of my own. However, having been away for so long I have forgotton a lot of CMSMS's capabilities (my memory is aging!) so please could someone answer the following...

The site I am looking to create would need to have custom content fields which would be need to be completed by the website visitor on a web form. So they would need to add things like name, address etc and be able to select certain fields (as true) and also upload images. I would then like the content provided by the visitor to be put in a 'to be checked' state which I can review and if necessary update, before it would be accessible on the website.

The website would also need to have a page on which visitors can do a search on certain criteria. This could be by selecting various checkboxes, selecting from combo list(s), plus entered keywords. The results of the visitor's search would then be displayed in tabular form which could be sorted by % accuracy of meeting the criteria or just simple alphanumeric.

Reading back the above it sounds very complicated and would possibly be difficult for CMSMS to provide those features in full. However, are there parts of it that could be fulfilled by CMSMS? Whatever possibilities there are please post back.

Thanks in advance
