Add-on Articles with pages

[craigiri]

If I can throw in a CMS content - I have used CMS Made Simple for some small projects and it is free, easy to use and has a great community. I think this would be a great platform for one of you guys to link to XF - that is, to develop a single login for. It offers most of what uses would need in a CMS without the extra they don't. It's also free, which is nice.
I would guess that such a bridge or add-on would be paid for (or get a lot of donations) from XF users.
As it stand now, I intend to move our forums to XF but will retain my CMS until a really adequate pages solution is available. No big deal, but it's good to see others pondering all the options.

One small first step only but it's started. Being loaded on my site right now.
Take it on the other thread for now. When I've tested it I'll start a new thread.

Looks like you've changed your mind about forums

Here's a bespoke articles system.

Just launched this yesterday - http://irdriver.com - for the motoring enthusiasts in the Republic of Ireland.

Bespoke article management system which uses xenforo auth, and linked to threads so people can comment on articles.

Could you give a link to an actual Article?
Interested to compare with Library as Library also does Articles with link to discussion thread (either existing or Library creates a new one in selected forum) Also multiple Pages and frontend edit using the forum post editor so no html needed.
Very interesting to compare.

I did and it showed nothing different to the preview snippet - looked like it was just like a portal doing Latest post.

Ok thanks. I don't see any link to discussion.
How does it handle multiple pages?

How does it handle multiple pages?

no support as far as I can see.
For me, any article that is so long it needs pagination .... should be split up anyway.
Probably would be useful at times.
