My opensourcecms.com Review

[Stefek]

Hello!

This is a very nice review.

BTW - in 'Cotras' you write something about 'show_menu'.

Did you ever use show_menu2 for your menus?
It's not so difficult as one could think of at the first glance.
And there is a complete documentation on this topic and also the community will help in need

Kind Regards,
Stefek

Hi, I just thought I would post the review of WebsiteBaker that I submitted to opensourcecms.com - sorry if I've got it wrong with my cons - if you put me straight, I shall add a new comment to opensourcecms.com.

Amazing. (Although I'm still searching for a comprehensive list of WB tags to use in templates).

Having looked through all these WB reviews, it seems no one has a bad word to say about it and I agree.

Pros:

Doesn't need cron jobs to update newsfeeds
Includes database backup feature.
You can put any code in any page. Wrapper is fantastic.
You can literally throw up a decent looking website in 5 minutes!
10 level heirarchical page structure and firendly URLs.
Search searches the whole site including Feeds which Drupal doesn't.
Less time spent looking for answers as to why this or that isn't working as it should therefore, much more time available for making things look pretty.


Cons:

function show_menu and associated css is a pain to work with - until I have had time to understand it better, it's pretty much a trial and error affair - also different themes call different classes - it would be easier if maybe show_menu didn't parse a class parameter but instead used standard classes for text links, active page and buttons. You would know automatically which classes to edit for the navigation them. It would also be better if the navigation css was in a separate file or even better, a module which allows you to edit them from with admin (I might have a go at that if someone hasn't done so already!).


Summary:

A great CMS for designer and developers alike 9/10
