I have read and read and looked at other sites but I am still unsure if Links SQL will fit my needs. I am in need of several things.

1) A news content system

2) A picture archive



Before you post a reply, I would like them too work like this:

Home page (pulling news onto it)

http://www.sirstevesguide.com/

News (First Page)

http://209.197.117.27/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=ssnews2.setup&category=starwars

News (article page)

http://209.197.117.27/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=ssnews2.setup&category=starwars&topic=16&show_article=192

Picture Archive (First page)

http://www.myfigures.com/pa/index.html?domain_id=5&action=N&mfglic_id=1

Picture Archive (Last page)

http://www.myfigures.com/...x.html?item_id=28629



Please follow the links above and let me know if Links SQL will do the same thing (with the exception of the ads as I am thinking of using AdvertPRO or AdCycle with whatever system I end up using).



Thanks.

Hi,

Most definitely Links SQL can, with some additional functions, handle the News feature like the site you posted a link to. It would be a matter of creating a custom function to pull out the flagged "Featured" news in the database and build it to either the home page or to a completely new template.

The picture archive is also well within the capabilities of Links SQL, including a picture upload field and the ability to handle user comments.

If you'll send me an email to jack@gossamer-threads.com, I will send you a link to a site in development that closely mirrors what you're asking for. It's not yet available for public consumption, so I can't post a link to it on our public forum.

Jack.
