Good Afternoon Everyone!
Being a code igniter lover I’ve stumbled across ExpressionEngine. I currently have a big project to overtake and I’m trying to weigh out if EE is right for the project,
My first main concern is multiple sites and flexibility.
I work for a schoolboard, our plan is to have one MAIN hub website (Our boards website) and also a website for each school within our board (32 Schools).
Now our main website includes:
News Releases , Information Secions, Job Postings, Policy Posting ect.
Our Satelite schools include:
School information , Calenders, News, and Info derived from the main website
Each website is there own entity.
Main site: http://www.schoolboard.com
School site: school1.schoolboard.com , school2,schoolboard.com.
Now heres the tricky part, we have tons of info on each site that needs to be managed by different users, They could be Admins, Principals or Teachers.
Admins have access to all entitys, Principals to a school, and Teachers to a section.
Now after reveiwing everything Im assuming this new multiple site feature is capable of doing this, Im just curious to how customizable the management groups is… Also, are we able to limit control panel features, like disable templates (we dont want teachers able to change templates) ect ect…
The last thing I was curious is how well EE relates to Code Igniter, are they built on similar structure, do they intertwine well?
I guess the next step is to get this thing up and starting demoing it, but I’d really like to know if some of you experts think EE is a good suggestion for my project, otherwise I’m going to be doing this from scratch in Code Ignitor, and that wont be fun :(
Thanks and have a great day!
PS: Lisa Wess you helped me out in email earlier, I’m just posting this because we had a couple more concerns 😊 Thanks
