Proposed Drupal CMS

Proposed XOOPS CMS

I have not yet really begun to customize this site. For now, I've added a Topic called Recent Stuff that lists items published by the portal members. You can see it in the navigation in the left margin of this page. This was a point and click operation for the administrator (me).

Oh, yes. The content you create in your member folder is not necessarily automatically listed in the site navigation. If you want it to show up (and not just be publicly visible if you know the URL) you must Publish your content. Then, someone with Review permissions will see it it in a Pending queue and approve the item.

As two examples, please take a look on the right, where there are now a News Item and an Event. In both cases, I added these to my own folder, and published them. Because I am the administrator, no further review step was necessary for them to appear automatically.

Because I'm perverse, I'll start the further customizations by adding features not available in the other proposed CMS sites. ;-)

More details can be found in the news item.
