OT: CAM-II, an open source CMS project

2008-03-12 Thread Steve Good
Hi Gang, Every so often I get an itch that needs scratching. That itch is learning something new with CF and building a project around that. This time I am putting together an open source CMS project. Unlike some other CMS apps out there, I want this one to be completely community driven,

Thanks, Denny... I read recently that dashes - in filenames were more search engine friendly than underscores. If I were to want to disallow underscores and allow dashes, how would the regex change? And, any thoughts on the dashes vs underscore issue? Thanks, Rick -Original Message-

I've never used besavvy, but when i looked, the develper packages looked much better. If you were develping 10 plus sites per year, it would only be like 250 each. That actually seems pretty reasonable to me. If you are only going to use it on one or two sites, then it is right pricey. Mark

Best way to order appearance of database content...

I know that doesn't sound like it's CF-related, but the solution probably will be in CF, I'll bet. Anyway.I want to be able to determine the appearance order of Real Estate agents on a page, other than by last name, etc. I want a user to be able to specify the appearance, say, by number. I could

I think this might work... - to start, in db, 2 records, display-order values 10 and 20 - form submitted with display-order value of 15 - run insert query using value of 15 - now three records, display-order values 10, 15, 20 - run query to retrieve total recordcount - loop query with index
