That's probably the main reason for our disagreement - I don't see adding news as an admin function. Editing and deleting articles, yes, but not adding them. Quote: I suppose its just a matter of getting used to something new. I do hope you will get used to it

Especially the front page is crucial to load fast and therefore it should not by default hold user-dependant options such as moderator-only editing links ahh.. well that makes sense. STILL annoying to edit if you see a typo or what not but I understand there's a bigger picture to attend too. > We tested it, but couldn't get it to work properly at the time. We will try again with the newest Koivi version Good, perhaps in the near future it can be built in. I look forward to seeing progress. > I disagree. Content should be added through as few gateways as possible to decrease the likelihood of errors. Besides, I personally never used the admin-side news submission, whereas I often am in the frontend of the module. Only thing, I will agree to, is that when you edit a news item, it should redirect back to the administration area and not go to the news index page. Thats fair. I am just used to all the admin functions on one page as the orginial news module had. I could add, edit, delete all from the main admin news page. I suppose its just a matter of getting used to something new. Thanks for the reply |

However, I do not see where, or how there could be any confusion about what AMS is about. Article Management System seems very straight forward to me, and should be perfectly adequate to give even the most novice user at least some idea of what the module is about. As far as I see it, the confusion is not in what AMS does, but in what AMS does in relation to what you are wanting. You have obviously identified AMS as a module of interest for your needs (otherwise we wouldn't be here). As already suggested, by far the best way of finding the module most suited to your needs is to define your requirements, make a shortlist of modules that are of closest fit, and then test them. If you (or anyone) do nothave this level of commitment towards developing your own site, then there is little I can do for you. There won't be a lot of sites running live with AMS yet as it has only been out just over a week. Here are a few that I know of; http://www.it-hq.org http://www.iis-resources.com http://www.hl2mapcentral.com As for registration, what e-mail address did you use? There might be some issues with using the large free email providers such as Hotmail, Yahoo and the like. It is definitley working though as I get several e-mail notifications from my site each day. P.S - Your error will be due to you submitting an article as a webmaster before creating a topic and setting the submit permissions. |

| by council on 2004/12/22 9:50:18 It's not a question of teaching yourself what AMS can do, it's having some idea whether you want to learn what it does. I have no idea what this module does -- so why should I invest the time in learning it? My point is, most beginners are in the same boat. In addition, I've searched for a site that uses AMS to see what it does, but haven't found one. Also, tried registering in your site yesterday, still haven't received email confirmation. Finally, to the guy who told me to "quit complaining," this thread asks for comments. I'm giving comments. If you rather I not give comments, I won't. |
