SmartFactory Modules:: Bugg!?
Sorry things don't "work as they seem to" - when using the latest development version of any system, this is to be expected. As we move through the release cycle, more of the issues will be worked out and your feedback is important in this process.

when migrating your db did you open up the file and replace all instances of "http://localahost/blah/blah" with your url?

1.2 site wide taxonomy in practice [by justanumber]

General Usage:: 1.2 site wide taxonomy in practice
1.2 site wide taxonomy in practice

About planning ImpressCMS sites in the near future (some months). Good to know what will be possible or not.
http://www.impresscms.org/modules/m ... ac=Roadmap

1. Will there be a site wide taxonomy in the 1.2 final? (or is there already such feature in 1.2 alpha?)

2. If there will be a such feature, when and how can it be used in practice for low tech users (newbies as myself) ?
# How can that be used (only with core contents manager) ?
# Can contents modules use the taxonomy after minor modification?

Future Release Discussions:: Template systems and caching
Sure, let's have a look at it, but until we define what caching really does, or should do, can we really identify a solution?

Is caching based on URI, or is it based on content? What if the content is included on another page or in a block? Is it based on an absolute time, or is it also intelligent enough to know the content has changed? As Phoenix mentioned - what about user permissions? If the content was last cached as an administrator, what will an anonymous user be shown?

Let's look at really defining what we hope to accomplish so we can have the best solution.

ImpressCMS Member Lounge:: Waiting on my ICMS t-shirt...
cool - except I live in the US.

There apparently is an official ICMS cafepress shop - though details are still a bit grainy.

I am sure someone will come in and shed a little light.

General Usage:: Content Manager question
Sure.

I'm using elements from the css from the impresstheme_light.

I tend to think it might be the theme.html file, though.

I'll check out Drupal...

Although we love iCMS, we understand that you have to use what's best to do the job, which is the only important thing in the end: get the job done. I know Drupal deeply enough to build sites, themes and write modules for it. You can do this task using Drupal and do a very good job, this is true, but the way won't be neither fast nor easy:

· It's much more complex to understand and configure. Just try to configure the notifications system and prepare yourself for the pain.

· It's MUCH MORE COMPLEX to theme.

Having said that, if you have to build your site before a deadline... what can I say? Research as much as possible and choose what's best to you. Get the job done.

I think ICMS is great, it's the lack of working modules that's causing me grief. There is no deadline for this project. It is an idea me and a Chinese friend of mine came up with. Though I hadn't anticipated so many problems. I knew xoops had many of the modules I needed and I saw ICMS had many of them in the addons repository. I made the assumption that most would install and function. Im not a programmer, so I wont be coding any modules for drupal. I'm stuck finding a CMS that already has the modules I need. Drupal appears to have a very active community of module coders. Drupal may not be as intuitive as ICMS, but as long I dont have to debug a bunch of errors, I'm sure I can figure it out.

Re: Purpose of DB-stored templates [by arthur71]

Themes and Templates:: Purpose of DB-stored templates
Your comments are the most direct and to-the-point on this subject - acknowledging the problem and suggesting a future course of action. Thanks for clearing this up for me!

It would be an interesting forum when the question of "what obvious advanatge did the original author/s see in double storage of the templates" gets discussed. In my explorations, I did not even mess with template overiding. So this has to do with just the way templates are rendered in the system core modules.

In my mind, templates (I call them portlets because that's what O.r.a.c.l.e calls them....) are meant to be flexible and easily re-defined, moded, customized.... so define them on file, pull them into cache upon initializing for subsequent fast retreival - makes a great scheme. The db storage goes against that grain IMO, looses the flexibility because db is a terrible place to store templates.

Thanks again for all your responses.
