Decisions…

Decided to go with Mambo for the new Oakleaf Circle site – the installation looked a lot simpler. Besides which, I’ve been having a play with a Mambo sandbox kindly provided for me by a friend. It looks rather fearsome at first go, but it has a lot of features. The only feature I need that it seems to lack is an events listing, although maybe I’ve just not looked enough. Anyway, there are plenty of add-on modules – I’ve already found a neat little events calender module that puts a “latest events” ticker on the front page, and has a function for showing repeating events; I could certainly use both of those. However, it only seems to have a standard ‘click on date’ calender appearence; I really want a flat-file listing, one that looks like the existing events page, that people can browse through. I could set one up as a static page, but I’m using a CMS specifically to avoid having to do that.
But as I said, maybe I just need to look more at the features lists.

But, I haven’t any time for all this unfortunately. I’m still having to share a computer sith B, and he’s got printing jobs to do. So I have to squeeze it in when I can. Roll on next month, when I can buy a new mobo and get my machine back.
