Website X5 CMS is to basic and you need to make something better.
I want to give my customer a better solution and I'm willing to pay for a solution like that. Can you please make a decent CMS solution that works outside Website X5. The main thing will be to establish a news module. My clients want to publish news and current solution is this complicated.

Hi Bjorn!
If you have PHP and MySQL knowledge you can quickly build your own solution.
You can put the content in a MySql Database and include it in X5 with a Code-Object with some PHP. This gives you the freedom to implement whatever logic your customer needs of what should be dispayed.
The frontend to update the data in the DB (so actually the CMS) you can realize very easy with even the free version of the PHP Generator from sqlmaestro.
Hope this helps a bit,
Dieter
Hello Bjorn
There are some different ways to do this.
1- use a calendar with a sidebar to display news. You can use the free Luxcal calendar. In the calendar You can insert events. An event can contain text images links and downloads.
The presentation can be done in a sidebar like : http://www.bramming-billard.dk/
You can define the look of the sidebar and how much information You want to show.
Your customers can input data by logging in to the calendar. They can input text links and they can even from a PC download an image that can be presented with a clickable link. This will be a very flexible way to do it. If You want me to, I can construct an example You can look at.
2- Use the Database viewer object.
Even if this is called a viewer, You can insert data in a table.
You could have the database viewer on a locked page with the edit controls, and the viewer on a public page without the edit controls.
Hope You can use it

BTW. I don't have PHP and MySQL knowledge.
Hello Bjorn
None of my proposals ( 1 and 2 ) need any PHP, Database or programming skills.
For the solution 2, You could use a mail form to create the table for the data - and then afterwards add records to the table by using the database viewer.
The best and most flexible is using the calendar. It comes in 2 versions : For a Mysql or a SqLite database - choose the SqLite - The database is embedded and, it will be the easiest for You. Installation can be done in 5 minutes.
Kind Regards
John
