CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi there,

I've installed latest CMSMS for a client and he has a couple of questions I can't answer - if this isn't the right forum, please let me know:

1.  How many is the maximum number of pages that CMSMS can handle? I read a forum post by a user saying he'd reached 480 without a problem, but I'd like the CMSMS statement on this. I read about 480 max pages here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... l#msg69100

2. My client wants to have one page on his site for each of his clients, with their own login (I can do this bit ok).  What he'd like to know is the maximum number of additional Users he can have.  I'm thinking that it's tied in with Question 1 above - am I right?

Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I'm not aware of any pages/users number software limit but there must be practical database limits (at least size and throughput) or other limits (admin GUI rendering, CPU/net quotas...).

Thanks Pierre, the client has a travel site and says he may end up with thousands of pages, so ... fingers' crossed!

I think a lot of it has to do with the speed of the server, site server and DB server...

Thanks Mark,

If that's the case then I'd better tell this particular website owner to change hosting companies - fast (from my own experience)

The only limit in the number of pages (and nothing is hardcoded) is in the listcontent area... because each page you have chews up more RAM, and takes more time to load.

Realistically speaking, when everything is expanded, you have a limit of around 6000 pages before things start going wonky on a decent web server.

You should probably also realize that the content management interface isn't really designed to handle massive sites... there's no search capability, no pagination, etc... just an expand/collapse mechanism...

so you may want to use a module to handle the information for 'customers'... modules can better handle greater quantities of data.

Woohoo! clapping hands!! Thanks Calguy - my own travel website will LOVE having around 6000 pages!

And I can see the difficulty with managing the page list - I have plenty of categories and sub-categories of pages to help me with the 270+ pages I currently have.

Excellent idea Calguy - I'll ask my cmsms guru how to go about this

On a separate issue - and I'm not sure where to post this (so tell me where and I'll move it)  - have either of you experienced a problem with Ver 1.6 and TinyMCE? Upgrades and new installs now don't show the css styling within the Editor - live pages are fine - but everything in Edit mode is unstyled - driving me - and one client so far - nuts

TinyMCE issue is noted in the upgrade documentation and several threads if you want to search.

But the short version is to go to the TinyMCE admin page and click to reset system settings. If that doesn't work uninstall and then reinstall it on the module page.

The problem is that if you give something a style it isn't reflected in tiny while editing a page it mostly looks like straight up text, like if you have an h2 and the style is a certain color and size and has lots of margin or padding the h2 will still be black with none of the margin or padding you would expect to see...

At least I think this is it...

Thanks to Calguy1000 for this info.

I've added it to the wiki FAQ since (IMHO) it could be useful to known.

You can specify styles to be shown in the WYSIWYG editor itself.  The Tiny website discusses this.  So you can make the WYSIWYG match the front-end.

It used to show the styling out of the box, why not any more, not that i care but I think a few have asked about this...
