Hi my names Dumbo!

Hi FuzionIT, welcome to the forums!

Yes, you either create pages or add code to existing pages.

CMS Builder doesn't build new websites but it does let you update and manage existing ones.

The end user can't create new sections, but they can create new pages. So for a typical site you might have a sections for: Events, News, Products, Staff Bios, etc. The user could go in and add a new news item and it would appear instantly on the site.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for or not. If you build websites then CMS Builder is something you'd add to allow the client to update the site themselves without having to call you to do updates.

The best way to get started is to create a "News" section, add a few fake records to it, and then create a list viewer and page viewer for it (newsList.php and newsPage.php).

Let me know if you need more details on that and I can walk you through the process. It's really quite amazing once you get the hang of it.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave

Thanks for your reply. That makes things a little more clear. I think that the product may suit some of my clients but not those that would like a bit more control. Will take a closer look though [:)].

Hi Dave, so let me make sure I have this clear:

CMSB will auto-create additional pages for Sections marked as multi-page if I first create and paste in the appropriate viewer code in pages named newsList.php and newsPage.php. Are they actually new files or is the content simply replaced in the original file?

Thanks!

That's right, so you only ever really need two files (although you can use more if you want or need) and they can display different content. So, for example, newsPage.php might have different urls that display different news items, like this:

newsPage.php?Your_News_Item_Title_Here-1
newsPage.php?Another_News_Item_Here-2

And for newsList.php you might have:

newsList.php
newsList.php?page=2
newsList.php?page=3
etc

Hope that makes sense. :) Let me know if you have any more questions or if I can provide more detail about any of that.
