CMS Made Simple Forums

This is the site I created for my acupuncture practice. I am planning to add FEU and a shop section if I can figure out how to do it. When I tried previously...it created some conflicts with the Q&A module if I remember right. As you see, I am not a programmer.

suggestions surely welcomed! Thanks.

the site is in French/English

Well... I think, you should invite some graphic designer for this project or just use Theme.
Faster server would be helpful too.
I also think, you should plan menu better

ps. I hope, you have bought commercial license for CMS MS :> ?

I agree the the menu is hard to use.. but it seems hat the only issues your facing are CSS related (more then the menu)... nice site..

cheers

Nice site!
I agree with JeremyBass about your menu but it should not be a big problem

Take an look on calguy1000's new E-Commerce stuff
Products - A module for managing a catalog of products, their price, images, etc, and for allowing users to build a cart
Cart - A Simple Cart Module
ManyBasket - An advanced cart module that supports multiple gift baskets, and mutliple shipping addresses.
Orders -  A simple order processing module
FRshipping - Part of the E-Commerce collection, this module provides an interface and method of calculating fixed shipping rates based on weight.
FRTaxes - A Taxes module that works with the Orders module to supply simple flat rate taxes to e-commerce orders.

Good luck!

Hi everyone, and many thanks for all your feedback.

In the last couple days I made some changes, which seem coincidentally to regard your feedback 
-i went back to the other menu template
-i played with margins, padding, etc, so the site is more coherent visually
-----still have some problems I can't work out in IE6, but otherwise seems ok
-i got a rudimentary FEU system setup

As I won't really be selling much through the site, I am not sure how far I will go with all the ecommerce stuff...I do have cart made simple, and shop MS installed, but not really functional at all yet. (i don't really have much site traffic in any case ) The site is really to give patients a little info before they come in.

I would eventually like to add a way for logged in patients to see a schedule of some sort, and be able to make apointments, but it seems pretty complicated to me at this point. I have Customcontent installed, and am about to start learning about making menu links that only logged in users can see...woohoo...

much thanks due to alby et al., and thanks for the donation link too.

any more feedback would be great, inspiring on the path of learning CMSMS!

Best, Matt

Hi there

My only complaint with the site it that it takes me forever to load. Other sites don't. I am using Firefox 3.05. Is it your web hotel, or? Validation showed 35 CSS errors and 30 html errors.

Good luck

lol, yes, you are right...it's slow...

as i have absolutely no experience with cmsms, css, or any programming, I am kind of winging it...and obviously need alot of help...

it could be partially related to my budget hosting service, (and a sloppy install? I upgraded from an older MLE version a while ago, but it was slow then too), but its also surely do to bad coding .

luckily i have some free time to browse the forums and solve minor issues, but my to-do list seems to always be getting longer, and there are probably some major underlying structural issues.

I will work on cleaning up the code to see if that helps the speed. I just found the inspect element function in google chrome, and it has helped me understand way cms works...and the w3c validation page..

many thanks for the help, and always open to suggestions,

matt

update:
I have now really overhauled the presentation, got niftycorners working, aligned the div's better, got the FEU working with htaccess and private menu links, got pretty urls working, and got the css menu working in FF, chrome, and opera.

I have been trying to clean up the code by checking with various validation tools.

One thing bothering me is the flyout bits of the menu don't work in IE7, and the whole content div is misplaced in IE6. I understand these are alignment issues probably. Anyone help me out on that?
