CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello ,

My site, psbeyond.com, is in need of a new CMS. It currently has a SQL/php based custom CMS, which I'd like to replace because it's full of bugs. My first preference is CMSMS. My question is that is it possible to migrate from my custom made CMS to CMSMS safely without any broken links?

If so, please help me to do that.

Thank You!

1) How many pages? Looks like a lot to me. You'll have to import pages by hand after you convert the template. No one-click CMS transfer.

2) Name of custom CMS?

I guess its some manual job to migrate...  But you can probably use a tool to create the page hierarchy for CMS Made Simple to make the page hierarchy so similar to your current as you can.
After that its probably some hours worth of copy-paste.

The CMS is called core vision and was built from the ground up by the last owner. The site has 1,869 pages.

@ above:
Sorry, but what do you mean by page hierarchy? I didn't get it!

Fortune cookie: your outlook is gloomy.

Either pay a developer to upgrade the CMS that you have with the features that you want, or post on the paid forum for someone to create a template for you, figure out what pages go where (that's what he meant by page hierarchy. basically, pages need to belong somewhere), and then MANUALLY copy over pages over to CMSMS. There is really no way to make this automatic.

If you REALLY REALLY can't stand the old CMS, I can help with the transfer. PM me.
