Real CMS ...  de

Hi,

first I would like to thank websiteX5 for their good product.

And again the so often mentioned CMS problem:
Since some of us are creating Webpages for friends, clubs, school etc and will not be managing or editing the content, we NEED a CMS (eg: WordPress TYPO3 Contao Drupal Joomla Redaxo)

I know of the dynamic editing options, but most people don’t want it; and to tell the truth are not always what one needs.

I also know of the limitations and difficulties asking for a CMS compatible option using websiteX5.

I just hope that websiteX5 can create a plugin/app which would allow for CMS comparability. I personally would also be willing to buy such an add-on for a reasonable price.

If and when such an option is available I not consider websiteX5 as a good product as a great product or even the must have product in this field.

Thx A.

PS: Pease keep me updated on possible solutions.

PPS: I would also be happy if you can provide templates which offer CMS implementation.

WSX5 a local program will always remain . There are indeed "real" CMS systems like Joomla or Wordpress . With an additional APP that will not work .

Maybe a in between solution will be possible, supporting only the most required functionalities by clients (ie: manage images in a gallery or products in a shop).

I Apologize for my poor English.

I usually solve this by having a combination of using Code-Objects which fetch the content from a MySql DB.
To have the DB filled by user I create a small "CMS" site usually with "PHP Generator for MySQL" (which is really powerful already in its free version).

--> Fast and easy development of the structure and design in X5, content management by client with MySQL DB and nice forms to edit the DB content

Thanks for the comments.

@ Andreas. I know that it’s a local Program (and all the issues related to this). But there must be a solution which one can implement to meet the need. I know other programs offer this.

Maybe WebsiteX5 can create templates which make the page compatible?!?

@ Michael: Your English is just fine ;)

@ Dieter: Yes one can implement it that way, but that not what end-users wish and it makes it difficult to sell it then.
Also if I go down that road I would I would invest a bit more time and then I do not need WebsiteX5. Would use not just Mysql & PHP but also html5 +Python and any Programs & DBs the user wishes. I would dump my job and do it for money, but would not be able to offer the service for the same price…. (ie no freebees for charitable org. like schools, mini clubs etc. ++)
