cmsimple XH: Separe the content from the administration.

Post by tbtabo » Sat Oct 24, 2009 10:32 am

Feature request for a better world:

The admin prepares the site and the editor has only to type the content without any knowledge of the system's mechanic.

One often use plugins or special functions in the pages.
The editor should not have to type the #cmsimple $output.=...; with all the encountered errors.

Now, we have a very useful additionnal but mandatory page named pagedata.php

Is it possible to move the plugin call from the page to the pagedata.php file to store the plugin's name.
Something like:

$page_data['1']['plugin1'] = 'thumbnailViewer';
$page_data['1']['plugin2'] = 'asform("","mail1@address.com"';
$page_data['1']['plugin3'] = '';


This part should be updated by the admin.
Even if the editor clicks on the source button in the editor, those settings will not be seen.

If we need a special function in one particular page , such as changing something in the page content, the admin should add it in the pagedata.php

$page_data['1']['function1'] = 'myfunction1.php';
$page_data['1']['function2'] = 'myfunction2.php';
$page_data['1']['function3'] = '';


and eventually remove it when done.

I know it is not easy to satisfy this dream, but may be in a future release.
Thanks for this cmsimple-XH CMS.
