Re: [Dave] CMS Builder - Roadmap & Feature Requests (post feature requests here)

Hi Dave,

I'd like to request the option to create and addition thumbnail when uploading images.

Example:

[img]http://cmsbuilder.designsbydarren.com/images/example_001.gif[/img]

This would allow me to show the thumbnail in the article summary, the preview in the full article, and clicking the thumb/preview would display the larger image ( 440 pixels wide in this example ).

This may be to resource intensive. But it would sure be nice to have. I use thickbox and other image display tools to handle images. Having 3 sizes available would provide lots of flexibility to designers and requires no additional work from the end-user since it's all automatic [;)]

Just a suggestion.

Keep up all the great work!

We would like to see these two first:

- Multi Section Search
- Multiple Value Fields


Thanks for making all these great features at an impressive pace!

I agree with you aev, the multi-select/value feature would be extremely useful. Certainly more of a priority than adding the additional thumbnail option.

Hey Dave. from what you said is coming I like. I would add the ability to create a form would be on my list. Pretty much 100% of the sites I build have a form on them. Some are for just one event and when that is over it needs to be changed for the next one coming up, so it would really help if they could do all that.

Hi Chris, so what would the form do? It would let a web visitor add a record to a section? I'm not totally clear on what you mean? Can you give a little more detail?

For example we work with many charities They use forms like, sign up to RSVP for our golf tournament. Then the next month it will be for a silent auction, ect... The form just sends what they fill out to an email address. I guess that it could send to a new database field called RSVP and they could look in the CMS to see the list.

Thanks for asking Dave

So an email form manager that could optionally save to the database. Ok, I get it. Thanks for the suggestion, that's a good idea.

I think a Duplicate Section Editor command (with and without data) would be useful.

The contact form suggestion is also welcome.

How about a generic data collection form? It could either email the form content and/or write it to a database. Covers several bases that way.

I'd love the ability to insert either PHP or JavaScript in an escaped code mode so we could use the CMS to send control info into the site code.

This is more of an FCK editor item, but the color changes introduced to GIF images during upload are quite striking. Try uploading a white GIF and see what you get... it gets the dingies! Being able to view all the previously uploaded images in the system would be useful too.

And... of course... the multi-section search. That's a biggie but I know Dave and the good folks at Interactive Tools are on top of that one already.

Multiple Media formats (not just images) support for Flash, Silverlight, Audio, Video

Spreadsheet type Lists (with spreadsheet type interfaces so users can add,delete and update rows of data like an excel spread sheet) and visitors could do column sorts
