New Features Request

Can't Post

I have sent these feature request in the past, but wanted to get them listed in the forum. Maybe someone has created a work around for this.
Image Requirements:
1. Increase the number of pictures from 10 to 20.
2. Add a check box for each image for auto thumbnail generation.
3. If auto thumbnail generation is selected, the system uploads the original image and creates a thumbnail.
4. The system uses the existing command structure to place the thumbnail images within the article. (image1:left)
5. The thumbnail image is a hyperlink to a page utilizing a template. The template is user defined, but has back buttons to the previous page.
Article Requirements:
1. Ability to post articles to multiple categories. First to a master category, then to a secondary index/category. My site is a automobile site. All my articles can be reached via the category structure (electrical, body, brakes, etc...), but the articles can also be index by the type of car it pertains to (1967- 1971, 1972 - 1974). Having the ability to create articles that fall within multiple index pages would be great. (i.e. a drop down box of all categories, with the option to select one or all and the article is also categorized under that index.)
2. Ability for guest to submit articles without logging on. This would allow users to submit articles and pictures. Then an assigned editor could review and publish.
Syndication
1. Ability to remove the option of a user in selecting a category. This assumes that all categories are the same level within a site. I have categories that represent multiple levels within a site. For example, one category is one level deep in navigation, but another category can be 4 levels deep within the navigation.
2. Ability to customize the syndication screens to accept a template.
Overall
1. A place to create shared files that can be used throughout the site. I have to keep the header and footer files in multiple places. One for search, one for articles.
Now, after all the requests, you do have a really great product. I investigated and tested 50+ content management systems. (I have been involved with the implementations of Interwoven, Broadvision, OpenMarket, Eprise, Documenteum and RedDot.) For the needs of an average user/company without the ability to spend $$$ or invest large amount of time, ArticleManager is a great product. Keep up the good work and thanks for a great software product.
