Can someone help point me in the right direction?

Post by jdok »

Hey there. I've been assigned to a project that will be done in CMSMS. The thing is im totally new and Ive been going through the tutorials I could find but couldnt really get what I needed.

The scenario is as following.

The site needs 5 authors, and 1 admin. I need a menu item called documentation, prefereably dropdown, where I can choose between 5 clients. On these client pages there needs to be a list of files attached to this specific client and the possibility to add more files, like pdf and such. Morover on this page there need to be a list with contact info, parents, physician, school and such. And lastly there need to be a journal where the authors can add daily notes regarding this client. The note added should however not be editable after its been added. All this needs to be on the same client page. I have no idea how to do this so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I think the CompanyDirectory module might help you a lot. Best is to check that first.

You could also try to set up this way:

Just create a page "documentation" with 5 subpages

Use the Uploads module. Read the module help how to show the list of files.

Please specify what information is involved here.

Use the News module or CGBlog module for this. Both have a frontend input form, so authors don't need any access to the backend. Use FrontEndUsers and CustomContent to hide the form for other visitors.

Just add the various module tags on the 5 subpages mentioned before.

Oh right. The contact data should be displayed in a table. Thanks you very much by the way.
