Hello everyone,
I’ve recently started a new job with a company who uses EE as its cms of choice and as a total EE newb I’m lucky that the person who I took over from was/is a pretty advanced EE user so I was able to get “up to speed” very quickly. (loving it by the way, really great cms imo)
Anyhoo I’ve just completed a magazine site and the client is very happy with it..from a design and functionality standpoint, however I’ve come across a bit of a problem organising the back-end. The main problem is the previous version of the site was built in Joomla and in the back-end there was a method to organise everything on an issue by issue basis and the client would like this functionality…eg: the magazine comes out every month and the client would like to be able to say, organise the content for a specific month, (if for instance they want to copy an article from January).
At the moment if the client chooses content/edit they just see a huge list of entries which confuses the hell out of them (I know there are search filters in place but the client is from a print background and has little to no web/cms experience) so I’m wondering if theres a way in EE to organise the content by an issue to issue basis (or month to month)?
This probably dosent make a lot of sense but it would be similar to organising all the entries for a particular issue into a month “folder” eg:all the January issue content is contained in a “folder” (or category or something) called January 2012 is this possible?
thanks in advance for any replies/suggestions
(the site is http://thegloss.ie/ and I can understand the designers dilemma, from a print perspective they literally make a folder called say “january 2012 issue” and then add the content to it and similarly for future issues I’m trying to figure out a way that the backend of the website reflects this in some way)
