One of my customers using Artman 1 wants to update their site, basically what we need is the following:
1. This is a recipe site and they want to allow their users to create a 'favorites' list of recipes: the user should be able to create an account and add users to their recipes book.
2. Create a 'Menu of the Week" section, where she will add the recipes for the current week, and the users will be able to browse the previous weeks menus.
3. Create a calendar of monthly events (cooking classes)

Yes, you'd be able to create all of the features you described using CMS Builder.
For creating accounts and maintaining favorites list, we have the website membership plugin and a favorites plugin:

This would help make developing these features faster.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Once you get a copy of CMS Builder installed on your server, go through and set up all the sections you need with all of the fields that you see in your current article manager installation. After that you can set up your front end pages, so that the only thing you're missing is your data that's stored in article manager.
Article Manager 1 stores all of it's data in flat files, whereas CMS Builder uses a MySQL Database, so the process of getting all of that information out isn't a simple one. We can help you get your information moved over to CMS Builder through our consulting service. If you're interested in this, please email consulting@interactivetools.com and we can discuss options with you.
Hope this helps

Yes, that is usually the process we go through. Although even moving data from art man 2 to CMS Builder is usually something we handle through consulting.
hope this helps.

I responded to your other thread here:

Basically the reason is that CMSB is a totally different program and there's no upgrade path, so we'd have to start from scratch if converting your site.
Feel free to respond and ask any questions in the other thread. Thanks!
