CMS Vs PP Can't Post

Hi There

I have only realised this minute that PP is no longer being sold. I see through other posts that it has been replaced by CMS and you are saying that it is similar to PP.

Could I purchase a CMS licence and implement it in to a PP controlled site by changeing the PML tags. The site I am working on presently uses a hell of a lot of images. Although PP could upload images it was a little tricky.

So basically my questions are:

Can I upgrade to the CMS package by changing the PML tags with a find and replace?

Is it a lot easier to implement the use of images, in CMS, on a image heavy site?

Page Publisher and CMS Builder do similar things, but use a completely different method. So you can expect there will be a bit of a learning curve getting up to speed with CMS.

With Page Publisher you create the "editor" with the PML tags and store the data in the page. With CMS you create the editor in the program (which stores the data in MySql) and add PHP tags to the page where you want to insert content.

That said, CMS Builder lets you do a lot more and has good support for lists of record (news releases, quotes, products, etc) and lists of images (as you asked) so it's a better fit for most projects.

Hope that helps, any other questions just let me know. Also, come visit us in the CMS Builder forum when you give it a try. :)
