CMS Made Simple Forums

Howdy -

We are a small design firm that also offers hosting to some of our non-profit clients. We're migrating all our old cms-based sites to CMSMS - it's the best solution I've found to date. However, our previous cms had a lot of functionality that we'd like to duplicate in CMSMS.

Until very recently we had an expert PHP programmer with lots of cms experience working with us, but due to personal issues he's had to drop out of the project abruptly. Now we're commited to deliver a number of features to a client, and we need help. We're willing to pay for development help, and what's more, after the work is done we're happy to put the resultant modules back into the CMSMS community.

Here's what we're looking for:

- Verisign Payflow Pro integration
- A Forms module that should:
  - be configurable
  - have a number of generic fields that we can specify names to display when the form is used
  - save the data in the same CMSMS database
  - provide a tool for accessing the data via the Admin interface
- A "module module" - this one is a little hard to explain
  - we have different types of clients, all of whom have different types of data to store, for example an organization that provides information on clinics and providers associated with those clinics. Another provides information about competitors and the music they play. What we'd like is a generic module that could store say ten text fields that we could name and search by. This is basically an extension or modification of the forms module above. Essentially, we'd like something similar to the news module, but configurable.

That's the short version. If you're interested and have a proven background as a developer, we'd love to talk to you. Did I mention we're prepared to pay?

Interested parties can respond here or email me directly at smack@luxmedia.com.

Thanks!

Did you ever get a reponse to this? If not, I would take a look at scriptlance.com, have programmers bid on the work. You can get a pretty good idea on who's good by the ratings given them by customers.

Thanks for your reply -

I didn't hear anything, but I did manage to find a great local resource - an old aquaintance, which makes it even better. Interesting about the scriptlance idea, though.

I was wishing that I had the time when this was originally posted.  At the time there were a couple of side things going on, and I figured one more would totally burn me out.

Oh well, next time...

Hope, you will show the results here  ...

Oh, we're making good progress, especially on the module-module.

The module-module provides a CRUD interface (Create-Read-Update-Delete), a tab to create templates to display the data on the pages, a tab to create templates to display the data in the admin, and a tab where you can create MySQL queries that you can then use when you call the module.

It's too cool for words. The idea is to give us a way to have a generic module that can manipulate a table of data. Different clients of ours have different data structures. Healthcare clients store clinic information. The Cliburn Foundation stores competitor data. Using the module-module, we can re-use the same module across different clients.

It won't be a one-click install - you'll need access to the db to create your table. But after you do that, the module-module should do the trick!

When it's stable, we'll unleash it into the community.

any progress on this module?
