    Hello all,

    I've been asked to redo a website for an English Rugby Club, and looking around at the various things that need to happen for the site, I'm looking at using Postnuke for the job. If I could have your opinion on whether or not this is the appropriate CMS that's be hugely appreciated, and maybe some useful modules if anyone has any suggestions?



    • [*:d8105c8a66]Whole site needs to be in CMS, with 1 or 2 central "controllers" able to give permissions for many other editors to edit their own categories only and create/delete etc subcategories.
    • [*:d8105c8a66]Each subcategory will have its own news, which must always display on the subcategory page but if tagged as headline can appear on homepage and other pages
    • [*:d8105c8a66]Templates for news articles, ie image at top/bottom etc
    • [*:d8105c8a66]simple WYSIWYG HTML editor with instructions (or something near it) which can be tweaked some to stop editors doing certain things like using blink and other tacky stuff.
    • [*:d8105c8a66]Ultrabasic inbuilt image editor which checks uploaded photographs and allows them to be resized or reformatted (jpg rather than bmp). Ie to stop people uploading 5MB images and to allow thumbnails into news.
    • [*:d8105c8a66]A nice to have would be members registration with integrated email list management & sending which can pull in members from excel spreadsheet and allocate them 1 year membership to site (with warnings when expired)
    • [*:d8105c8a66]Ability to store things like PDFs on the site so that they can be pointed to as links/downloads etc
    • [*:d8105c8a66]"boxey" "modular" approach so I can pull in boxes like 'latest 10 news articles' or 'scoreboard' or 'how to join' or content pulled in from elsewhere like league tables as includes in little boxes
    • [*:d8105c8a66]Ability to change any meta for any page, but with admin-set default
    • [*:d8105c8a66]Ability to generate a sitemap and to search site (and does it record what searches are done?)
    • [*:d8105c8a66]Some sort of nice picture gallery module would be a nice to have
    • [*:d8105c8a66]Integrated diary with usergroups that get mailed of their relevant events
    • [*:d8105c8a66]banner support (buttons mainly, not towers or banners) so I can show sponsor some statistics about their buttons
    • [*:d8105c8a66]preferable use of CSS




    If anyone has any experience of using postnuke to do a community rugby or soccer or whatever site I'd really appreciate hearing from you or seeing the URL to see what's actually possible?

    Many thanks in advance,

    I've been using PN for a couple football sites for years, holler if you have any Qs.
    Re-boxy, that's just postnuke's "blocks" they're just HTML tables, you can do whatever ya want with them really. Don't sweat it.
    Re-pulling news and stats- there's a few especially good RSS modules for postnuke. Some of them even do real well as stand alone modules. They're not the greatest for RSS video feeds but otherwise they really are some of the best you'll find on the web.

    The Calendar goes over surprisingly well, I wouldn't have guessed that.
    Ummm...just holler if you have any Qs

    Hey that's a nice looking module but I can't get past the language issues. Please holler when you've got more English support.
