Since I'm in the process of making a open-source CMS for the community, I was thinking that I might as well ask what type of features you want?
Here's what I'm thinking of so far:
- Easy to use template system.
- FlyffTyphoon integrated as admin panel(will most likely require some help from tre sooner or later).
- CS shop for website as well as a CS shop for the in-game premium window(made this system before, so I know it can be done using flyff's built in handling).
id have to say a admin panel like typhoon's. With more site and donation shop thing's like a news system and more account thing's like view the players inventory's. It would be nice to see thing's like you can add thing's to the donation panel through an admin panel, do more with a user account And be able to control the site more through the admin panel and maybe a user panel also so you can reset your bank pin,location in case you get stuck,view play time,level,class,etc and last but not lease forgot password. Ive always wanted to pay someone for something like that ;D that would be awesome if you were able to incorporate thing's like that into your cms your making. Thats just some of the thing's i think of when i think of a cms :x
Thanks for your input. So basically a functional admin panel.
Anything else?
a picture of you so it can be a funny cms
A troll like you that will make the forum a better place for everyone.
Now now children. Play nice!
as for the subject: How about a drop-n-go news update? Meaning you copy/paste your update/news into a news feed and it automatically shows up. No real need for it to be stored into a database since its RSS.
You know how RSS systems actually function?
They are usually a result of specially formatted data from an database being displayed in a stream format.
It has to be saved somewhere or the news won't be able to carry through to other people.
Anyways, thinking of implementing a twitter API.
Admin panel is a good thing to have, twitter? meh go for it.
Things off the top of my head:
-A user panel which can attempt to retrieve the bank pin or password change. To retrieve password maybe they will need to set a personal question like "Where were you born". I would also suggest for players to view the characters they have and view their own inventory/bank.
-For the admin panel make it so GMs have a separate admin panel from Admins. GMs would have ability to ban while Admins have the ability to look at GM logs/Send Items/Ban.
-Then have (a) page(s) with server info: Players Online, GM/Admins Online, Time for guild siege, MVP and Guild on top, Current Lord, etc
Yes I know exactly how RSS feeds work. They are more than simple to set up and I haven't seen many CMS out there with that feature.
I'll just make my own RSS engine for PHP then, which wraps the news data from the databases into a valid RSS XML format.
Oooh a CMS? Goodluck with that! (Not in a sarcastic tone)
As for the things I look for in one.. Hmm
Joomla really works well imo, but very weak protection.
Admin panel, definitely.
Bulletproof protection, built in SQL shields.
The ability to put your site down for maintenance.
Easy edit news feeds that integrate into your patcher.
Integrated member system would be nice (Register and DB).
I could go on and on. :O:
As for help, I would love to shadow you but I know nothing about HTML and PHP, or w/e coding languages you webdevs use! :blink:
I tend to focus on my interests :rolleyes:
Anyways, goodluck!
My point exactly. Sometimes I get wrapped up in things I start to ramble to where it makes crazy sense. Anyway that is a good way to do things is just write it yourself.Quote:

Well, to be quite honest, etunia was complete shit.

That's the only way I go about doing things, as if you want it done properly, you'll have to do it yourself.
