It may help if I give an example of what the XML output needs to be:

If someone wants an 'image' I'm expecting:

* An XML tag like this:

<image type="profilePic" file="people/name of person.JPG" google="name of person" />

Where 'image' tells the Flash/PHP that the tag is for an image.
'file' tells the Flash/PHP where to find the image on the FTP server [it goes without saying the upload of the image should match the XML entry!]. 'google' tells it what should be created in the dummy HTML for the search engine robots and 'type' tells me how it should be aligned/placed/formated on the page [so basically a pull-down of chocies that will vary from project to project].

The user would ideally click 'add image' and then see:

+image
[Pulldown] Type: profilePic
[browse button] File: <<upload your image>>
[open text field] Google description: __________

Finally, the order of the XML tags should also be something that someone can manipulate, as I layout the page based on the order of the tags appearance.

Mucho-gracious,
;)

hi OS folks,

I'm looking to move into the world of CMS -- to make life for my clients easier.

What I am looking for is a good open source CMS that allows me to pre-define XML tags with attributes and to then save this so that clients can log in, create/modify existing XML files, edit their existing XML tags or add new ones [from my limited list of possible XML tags] and save it.

It would be extra-extra nice if the client could also upload files [like images, video or audio] and to also have the file-path pushed into an attribute of the XML tag that relates to the file-upload.

The end-user should see just a simple page for their website with all their "pages" (=XML files) listed, if they click on a page they see all the attributes and they can add new ones. Ultimately click save/publish and have a merry ol-time.

There are so many OS CMS's out there:

That I am at a loss as to which one would be the right choice, and to try them all I feel like I'd be busy for weeks!

My server is PHP/Unix flavored; if that matters.

Any tips or recommendations are well appreciated!

With kind,

Sebastian.
