CMS Made Simple Forums

Our biggest site to date:
http://www.inmacarthurmagazine.com.au/

This is an online version of an already successfull magazine showcasing our region.

The list of modules has a group of red ones near the end, these are all just different versions of the CGBlog module.
(Thanks CalGuy - that really is the most versatile module to date.)

The list:
CMS Version - 1.6.6

It's simple, clean and it follows the style of the printed mag.
The magazine comes out each season and the website reflects that by changing the entire colour palatte at the start of each season.

Looks great!

That is probably the best CMS Made Simple site I've seen. Great work.

I'd like to see the cmsmadesimple.org site doing more to promote quality implementations like this -- stick it on the front page, damn it!

Thanks Deak
You just made my day!

Nice site. Can you please explain more about the modules

EGuide - 1.3.1
RGuide - 1.3.1
FGuide - 1.3.1
SDrive - 1.3.1
AGuide - 1.3.1
CIssue - 1.3.1

P.S. in your css to remove the horrible input highlight I would use

input {
outline:none;
}

Hi Applejack,

All these are altered versions of CalGuys Blog Module (1.3.1). Some have been altered more than others.

EGuide = What's On Guide.
RGuide = Restaurant Guide.
FGuide = Weddings & Functions Guide.
SDrive = Sunday Drive Section.
AGuide = Accomodation Guide.
CIssue = Current Issue Section.

Most of the changes are behind the scenes in the admin.
The Accomodation Guide has three potential extras - A more info page, a link to their own site and an offer or coupon link.
The listing is free but these extras are all charged for.
In the admin under each listing is a countdown for the number of days left that have been paid for, just like a magazine or newspaper classified listing.
The Wedding & Functions guide has something similar.

local businesses can upload their own free listing to each of the modules below, after a registration and approval process.

• What's On
  Restaurant Guide
  Weddings & Functions
  Accommodation

The site owner does all approvals and site maintenance. Everthing waiting for approval appears in the "unhandled notifications" alongside the module name.

Any site working with rich content lists is perfectly served by CalGuys Blog Module. It is probably the most versatile module out there.

Not sure what you mean about the input highlight, it look OK to me.

Re: Not sure what you mean about the input highlight.

I mean for the search and contact from input boxes on Mac Safari for instance you get a system blue border on focus. If you use the CSS code you don't. Just my preference not to have it.

I think the menu background would look better flat as well rather than graduated.

Love your work, Simon
Great site.
