Orphans on Purpose
I was given some html pages and asked to create
a CMS site with them.
At first I implemented them as HTML pages, using content templates with
dynamic zones, but the client didn't like the interface.
My next try was to implement them as wiki pages, but without all the
wiki linking. I did this by first creating a wiki structure which will
create any pages that don't already exist. Basically I have a bunch
of orphan pages. I get to them via navigation buttons implemented in
javascript, in the header.tpl file.
So far so good. I'm still trying to get the hang of the tikiwiki, I'm just
throwing this out here for discussion.
One reason for going with the wiki pages is because the client would
like to be able to create new pages. Which begs the question, how
would one navigate to the new page. At least with a wiki page you can
link to another wiki page.
Anyway this is great fun and tikiwiki is a great tool. I think they have used
all the right components, but especially the Smarty template engine.
Any suggestions or pointers is appreciated.
