Using Textpattern as Single Page CMS
I have been charged with finding a simple CMS for single web pages, that feed content into a seperate portal.
The pages would contain a title, possibly an image, and several links that include descriptions. Very simple stuff. The pages would be standalone pages, and not link to other textpattern pages.
Each page would be managed by a different person, and we would have maybe 30 or so pages to begin with. The editors would need to be able to edit the page online, but users should never see any edit options.
Does anyone have an opinion as to whether TextPattern would work based on the limited information I have posted above?
Thank you,
Jack

Re: Using Textpattern as Single Page CMS
If you’re looking for user’s to be able to use WYSIWYG editing, then txp is probably not the right choice. Honestly, It sounds like you should have a publishing system that creates HTML pages and then kicks off a deploy mechanism that puts the files on the servers, or in the directories where they need to go.
Txp would work for this, but I really don’t think it’s the most efficient/best way.

Re: Using Textpattern as Single Page CMS
Thanks for the reply, we have a contribute/dreamweaver/ftp setup right now that works but is not ideal.
We were thinking of creating our own basic system, but I was/am still hopeful there is something out there that will work.
The most helpful feature we could provide to the content managers would be an online editing capability, where they can avoid WYSIWYG. The content is usually just simple links, and maybe a description.

Try collage. It would be a very expensive initial setup but, in the long run, would probably be ideal.

Ah, I wish I had a budget like that. This is a side project we can free up resources for, but not any cold hard cash…
