Hi there.

 

I am about to start on full development of my point+click CMS. The core technology is there (PHPQuery for backend-frontend interaction, and my own Flat File RDB for data storage) to build it with.

 

How it will work is that you (designer) will have a number of "keywords" in your page.. or rather there will be a number of specifically-named items in your page which will be filled by the PHP.

 

Say I want to put a content blocki n my page, it would go something like this:

<div id="content">
<div class="contentblock">
	<h3 class="contentblock-title">Some headline</h3>
	<p class="contentblock-text">the main story</p>
</div>
</div>

The code would then read that, and replace "Some headline" and "the main story" with the relevant data in each case.

 

Not very powerful, I know. BUT, there are a number of features:

1 : if you put more than one contentblock in the same #content, then these blocks will be used sequentially (eg 1 2 1 2 ...).

2 : if you put an id of "first" in a contentblock, it will only be used for the first element, eg (#first 1 1 1)

2a: a similar thing with last

4 : you can specify the fields yourself (so title and text is just one configuration). If you want an "image" field, then you can make that happen easily.

5: all text-based fields (and possibly other fields) are editable with an inline wysiwyg editor

 

You might have to see it to understand, but at this stage it is all speculation.

 

Anyway, developing software is no easy task, so I want you to fill in the poll in what you think is most important to get working first.
