AW: [opencms-dev] News woes continued.

[Kai Schliemann]

Hi Daniel,

check out http://demo.comundus.com. There is a complete OpenCMS installation
as well as "our" news module. Check it out and if your are interested, we
can talk about details.

You will also find a flash online help.

By now this demo and the online help are only available in german.

Regards Kai

> The story so far:
>
> I look into opencms, and it looks promising, I buy
> three copies of the book, and allocate myself sometime
> to give it a try.
>
> I download and install 5.3.6. It seems to work fine
> and but I need a news module. I ask on this mailing
> list if there is a module that works on 5.3.6 and
> receive no answer.
>
> The book says I can get modules from
> http://opencms.al-arenal.de/ but it is down.
>
> There is a online forum for opencms
> http://www.opencms-forum.de/ but registration is
> broken - no field to enter a username.
>
> So I install 5.0.1 and it's back to this list to ask
> if someone could give me a link to a working module. I
> get one response saying the one in the sandbox is
> usable.
>
> I give it a try. It seems to work fine, but as the
> coder just pulled the original source from the cvs
> there is zero documentation.
>
> Meanwhile a email to sales at Alkacon asking if they have
> a commercial news module, or how much for them to
> write me one, goes unaswered.
>
> So, here I go again:)
>
> Could somebody PLEASE (hell, I'll even pay if thats
> what it takes) email me one of the existing news
> modules - the book says there was 5 forks, so
> _someone_ out there must have written one of them,
> with documentation.
>
> Oh, another question.
> I need to be able to list news on a page with say 5
> items on 1 page, and a menu listing 1 2 3 4 etc to go
> through old items. Not too hard to do I guess, but I
> really feel I'll be re-inventing the wheel, does
> anyone have an example or a code snippet that does
> this?
>
> TIA -heh, call me an optimist:)
