CMS Requirements/features

[Mamnun Hassan Bhuiyan]

We should start the listing our required features for the cms,
What features should be in the core part? what modules should we include?

Lets have a discussion about this and then we can move on to database designing.

Dear Members,

 

There is a long time, no response/feedback on this group.

 

As per my suggestions, 

 

The following are the core requirements of Content Management System. Note an important point that additional features can also be implemented in this project besides these core requirements (optional).

There should be at least two separate interfaces of the web site one for administrator, one for normal user.

Normal user must be able to add, modify, and delete content according to privileges.

Normal user must be able to upload document/content to the page, this will make a request to administrator, and after approval from administrator the content will be published at appropriate page of the web site.

Support for creating and modifying content in a page e.g. Text, Graphics, Menus, and Tables etc.

A news/announcements section should be provided on the main page, with latest news/announcements on top. This will be handled by administrator through its specific interface.

Support for web site themes/CSS, so that the users and administrators can change the layout/appearance as per their personalization requirements.

Rich text editor e.g. 'FCK Editor' or 'Free Text Box' to support editing features just like in MS Office Word

Dynamic creation of new pages in the web site, documents in the popular formats e.g. MS Office Word, MS Office Excel etc

Support for adding polls to the web site.

Support for initiating and discarding content according to specified time period. Support for changing the status of the content as 'Active' or 'In Active'.

Site wide search capability, separate search facilities for normal user and administrator (based on their particular privileges)

Recycle bin should be provided to handle deleted content and it will keep this content up till specified time. Administrator should be provided the option to empty the recycle bin at any time.

Support for discussion boards/forums.
