CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

I finally finished this site I've been working on for the last month. Just want to say a big thank you to everyone on the CMSMS forums for helping me with my questions. There were a fair few of them!

MenuManager 1.7.5
ModuleManager 1.4
News 2.11.1
nuSOAP 1.0.2
Printing 1.1.2
Search 1.6.10
ThemeManager 1.1.4
TinyMCE 2.8.3
CGExtensions 1.23
CGSimpleSmarty 1.4.7
FormBuilder 0.7
GoogleMaps 0.1.8
Glossary 0.6.8
FormBrowser 0.4
Dictionary 0.4.2
LinkMgr 1.5.1

All comments and critiques are welcome!

Thanks, Karl.

• use unobtrusive Javascript AND
• not use external Javascript (googleapi)

If you don't do that thinks like the attachment will break.

E: The submenu in the page breaks too

Interesting.

How is the JavaScript obtrusive? It's just a content slider. I thought obtrusive JavaScript is that it creates pop up windows and puts elements in your way?

Also I used the googleapi to reduce load of our server, i thought it was better to spread the load of the page (like a CDN) than have it all centered on a single server?

I'll be interested to hear your response..

Thanks.

Excellent site - really easy to navigate and everything is well laid out.

Well done!

Very nice, clean, and very easy to navigate and find information.

Hi wishbone,

Ha, I was hoping noone would notice. In the name of web standards I'll sort that out tomorrow. Cheers!

It's just a content slider.

You can see in the Screenshot that the content is only really shown with JS.
The right way should be to put the content visible and usable on the page and after that to integrate a slider or whatever.

Also I used the googleapi to reduce load of our server

The price of it is to give the privacy of your users and the privacy of the page to google. Without the agree of one of them.
Second it can be blocked in networks. Screenshot speaks about.

Very Nice...

Hey no fair channeling me...

Thanks for all the great Feedback.

very nicely done.

On the homepage, under the Free Visa Assessment at the bottom, "don't" is missing the apostrophe, and the second sentence needs a period at the end.

Thanks, that's updated.

Ps - Awesome how you call a full stop a 'period'
