Hi Peter. How's it going?
It's actually a great CMS. You can write your own code into it and basically build the CMS from ground up. In the control panel you create your "weblogs" as they call it. Basically you are creating the fields in the database for each section of the site, e.g. news section would have date, title, summary, and details, while lotto results section would have number 1, number 2, number 3, number 4, winner, and prize.
You then build your templates for each section of your site and you can include special EE tags that allow you to run code within them, like if statements and repeat regions of entries in the database.
All you need to then is populate your database with entries in the different sections and away you go.
With the custom database fields you can really create any thing you want and the templates let you display it any way you want. Very little in terms of limitations like other CMS's.
Regarding your specific question, I don't see why not from my experience with it so far. You'd just have to put a bit of an if statement into your navigation templates that checked what page you were on and if it matched the current link and if so, show a css class. Nothing too difficult I don't think.
You going to this IIA event tomorrow? |
