Implementing new solution, can phpWCMS do the job?

Post by Defencetalk »

Hi,

I run http://www.defencetalk.com military/defence website. We have a military gallery, forum and news page. We are thinking about adding new section to our website and I am searching for just the right CMS to the job.

It will contain world military equipment, its information such as specs, small intro in very very categorized and organized fashion.

It will be organized like this:

Weapon Systems
>>Air Forces
>>>>Fighters (List of fighter jet from around the world)
>>>>>F16 < (link, once clicked will display F16's info.
>Bombers
>Land Forces
>Tanks
>Abrams
>Artillery
>Etc.
>Naval Forces
>Other

See this as an example as well:
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/index.html

As you can see its all on one page and doesnt look that good either.

F16 info:
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/f-16.htm

It would be great if its linked up with phpbb forum and coppermine gallery but its not a requirement. Certain users should be able to add info as well. Would phpWCMS do this type of content management? If not, would someone please recommend a script that would. It doesn't have to be fancy, with modules, forums, etc.

I appreciate the help and advice.

Thank You,

I can't believe no one has replied to you question. I apologize that you had to wait so long.

Anyway, I am not sure if you have already found a solution or not. I would like to say that phpWCMS has a built-in sitemap content part that will list everything you want it to. Any hidden sections will not show up in this sitemap which is very convenient.

Most people who use Coppermine or punBB will integrate it into a single page using an iframe. Here's an example of how to use iframe to dynamically resize the height to the size of the requested page so no scroll bar is needed.

I hope this helps! Let me know.
