I hope this post belongs here. Sorry if it needs to be moved.
I am an EE newbie. That said…
Coming from Joomla I am used to being restricted by the “Section/Category” scheme that Joomla provides. Can some one comment on validity of my thoughts. I am trying to accurately envision the content organization capabilities of EE.
We are going to have a programmer transfer all of the content from Joomla to EE. What I gathered from the EE documentation leads me to think that a programmer would leave us with a table of unstructured content records waiting to be placed in a weblog and/or tagged with categories. I would think an outline of one or more templates would be linked into some basic navigational structure beforehand. This would provide an outline (for lack of a better term) to place the individual content items into. - We have a lot of “static” content.
The template/weblog structure “seems” to allow for any data to be linked or presented just about anywhere. The way I see it is that major content grouping is done via weblog (section), minor grouping done by categories. However the there need not be a category -> weblog relationship. It seems that content in categories can be selected across weblogs. So for example all content in the category “CITY” can be selected regardless of the weblog. Depending on the module used I’m guessing.
Are these thoughts correct?
Thanks so much.
