I have spent 3 days looking at various CMS and template systems and seem to
be getting nowhere.
I have looked at smarty, webditpro, phpcms, typo3, phportal, sitemanager,
phpnuke, easysite and many others and clever and comprehensive as many of
them are they seem too complicated for my needs.
I am not sure if I am missing the point of these programs and would
appreciate if anyone thinks they can accomplish what I require.
As an example I want to offer customised web pages to say 'Car dealers'.
I want to offer a top,side and body frame and lead them through the creation
step by step.
Step 1. Offer the top frame with color picker for background, or background
image then allow addition of text for dealer name address etc.
Setp 2. Offer a selection of side bar buttons and styles. Most buttons will
be similar such as 'Abourt Us', 'Contact', 'Car search' ,Car list',
'Location' ,'Links' etc with some having pre defined actions ('search') and
some where they can modify content.
Step 3. Allow modification of content of the body pages using a WYSIWYG
editor such as editise or htmlarea.
So no HTML knowledge to be needed, only uploads will be images to be used.
The main objects are
1. Simple to use with no support required.
2. Simple to use with no support required.
3. Simple to use with no support required.
I could put together what I outlined above quite easily in a few days but as
with all projects things never quite stop where you intended.
No doubt users will then ask for different templates, exploding type menu
lists, calendars, flash etc.
So basically I want a system which I can configure to my needs and know that
added functionality is there when needed and I don't want to learn a whole
new language.
Should I just do this myself ?
