when i make a new section editor is it possible for cmsb to create a directory with the same name or a unique name for the directory??
nice would be that that unique directory also be the publishing directory for files or images.

Hi Maurice,
CMS Builder doesn't have a publishing directory, unless you're referring to the directory it keeps uploads in.
It would be possible to accomplish this through custom programming. Please let me know if you're interested in that.
I'd like to come up with a simpler (and cheaper) solution for you, but to do that I'll need to better understand what it is you're trying to accomplish. Why do you want to do this? Are you creating a lot of almost identical sections and trying to save yourself time? Please explain exactly what it is you're trying to do and I'll try to come up with a simple solution for you. :)

Also, I'll add that you can set specific upload directories for each upload field. So if you want uploads for a certain section to go in a certain folder. You can do that.
Also, you can remove the .php extension from viewer files:

So news.php shows up as news/
Also, there's an option called useSeoUrls that makes your urls look like this:
/news.php/news-title-123
Which combined with the above gives you:
/news/news-title-123
You can create any kind of custom urls you want. Some just take more work than others.
Hope that helps!
