Hats off to the XOOPS team!
48 hrs ago, my 10 yr reunion committee was tossing around ideas for reconnecting prior to and after the reunion. Forums, photo galleries, etc... sounded cool, but would be a lot of work, right?
After researching several CMS systems just to see what was possible, I took a chance and installed Xoops. Even without a complete manual, the installation went flawless! My only challenge has really been coming up to speed on what modules do what and working in other content pieces.
That said, the
IMSA 1994 Alumni Portal is now live. Please take a look and constructively critique!
For those interested, I choose to implment the modules: news, TinyContent, TinyCalendar, Forums, Gallery & my Links publicly. On the TinyContent pages, I used inline frames to punch out to some existing sites such as our school's alumni database & a sophisticated survey tool. The registration page is just a form tied to the PayPal shopping cart system. Behind the scenes, Document Management System is running to support the planning committee's efforts.
