What Content Management Module is the most flexible ?

Guys:

I have an existing website I want to incorporate into my XOOPS site.

There are various modules out there like edito and iContent - can someone recommend the most flexible module that can take my HTML pages ?

I don't mind making them fit by editing the code, I just want something that can integrate them in the simplest way and make them easily navigable.

I ask because there seem to be a lot of them, and I would like some recommendations from people who are more familiar with them.

Thanks,

- Joe

I use TinyD, available from PEAK.

You can, easily, have multiple entities of the module and name it what you want. I have been unable to use the SPAW module with it for wysiwyg editing, but is supposed to work.

I've tried a couple other modules of this type, and this was the easiest and does what I need. Whenever I want to add static html pages to my sites, this is the module I use.

Cheers.

I tried using TinyContent and it worked out great for a bit, because I was able to just use the HTML from my existing pages, and insert it into the editor for it to generate the pages for me.

The problem with TinyContent is that I can't create entries under the submenus. As in:

- Top
----+ Entry page
-------+ Entry page
----+ Entry page
-------+ Entry page

Is TinyD capable of doing such ?

Thanks,

You can try xt-conteudo it will do various level subcategories, it has page wrap and and a spaw editor and it is based on TinyContent.

You can see it working on http://www.matamoros.com/ on right side block called "Visitors Guide & Business Showcase" if you move cursor under Health care you will get 3 levels.

For some reason if I use it as the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th left side block it will not work (I think its got something to do with either a load or javascript conflict), if you happen to use it and have the same problem and solve it please let me know how you fixed it.

TinyD is also a good option if you want to use several tinyContents at the same time.

Hey thanks for help !

I'm going to try it out :0)

Gracias por las sugerencias y me gusta tu sitio.

Se muestra que trabajaste bien duro para construirlo, y es muy profesional.

Veo que el sitio es sobre Matamoros. Yo soy de Cuernavaca, Morelos

On second thought, I may not keep XT-Conteudo

The author's English is very unclear and his instructions are hard to follow

Not only that, but he translated everything to Portuguese !

It makes it hard for other people to administer the website. I speak Spanish, so it's somewhat close, but still, it's a hassle

-ROLMAR- the example you provided:

Visitors Guide & Business Showcase

Does not work at all in firefox. There is a blank block (Title Only) there. Just thought you may want to know.

-RIOMX-
Tinyd has sub-menus

riomx,

Thanks for your comments.

Xt-conteudo: You need to use the "Menus and Submenus" block for it to show the submenus. This menu can be somewhat modified in the xtmenu.php file found in the blocks directory.

The readme has a fix for firefox compatibility.

Regarding the portugese, the module should include the spanish language files.

The use of a particular module is a personal choice based on needs and likes, I happen to like xt-conteudo and also use the TinyD's.

Que sitio estas desarrollando con XOOPS?

Es verdad que el Spaw esta en portugues, aunque este es muy similar al español, no le veo problema, tengo clietes que lo usan sin quejarse. Aunque lo mas apropiado es que traduzca estos. Enviame tu correo y te nevio los archivos una vez que los traduzca.

Saludos
