Hi to all,

I want to implement cms for a daily newpaper website, I need suggestions and
advices regarding how to do it in a neat and efficient way using MCMS.

Sreeju,

My suggestion would be to create a news summary page. On this page you
add a user control that fetches all news items from a specified channel


foreach(Posting p in newsChannel.Postings)
{
// Do you rendering here (title, first ~100 chars of the content
placeholder).
// Render link (p.Url) also, so that a user can click to read to
complete story.
}

In this "news"-channel you maintain your news posting. If you'd like to
create a new news posting, do it in here. It is automatically shown on
your news summary page.

Kind regards,

Jules

Ok jules ,

just imagine a big news paper site, the news are categorized into various
channels . now the requirement from the end user is simple "they want to see
the news for a particular date". This will solve the archive issue also. Now
just imagine the administrators who is adding and editing the news, how much
data they want to edit and see .... ok what I am thinking is that "the
administrator should have to choose a day and he should edit the news for
that day", they should not see all the news at a time only news for a
particular day which the admin can choose...

please give me suggetions on my point, or if any body have any other
suggession please open it for discussion

regards sreeju

Hi,

we have lots of customers with similar requirements.
Usually they implement a channel structure as follows:

/Channels
/News
/Year
/Month
/Day

Means for every year a channel, for every month in the year a channel and
for every day in the month a channel.
E.g.

/Channels
/News
/2005
/January
/1
/2
...
/31
/February
...
/December
/2006
...

Cheers,
Stefan
