A New Forum for Reviews, Guides etc [CMS content]

Dfg

I got this idea when Katz requested for a new sub forum in BI for Guides.If we create a forum dedicated to CMS content like guides, reviews it will make it easier for the editors and the users to find stuff. Right now the guides are spread around the forums and it's difficult to keep them updated.

Now, we're not going to just throw things there. Once a guide is created in ABC section it will be moved to main forum with a permanent link. In this way it will be linked in that section and also will be placed in the publishing queue.

Doing this will make things organized and easy to access.

Feedback, Suggestions.

I like, how are we going to organize them in the new forum though?

Search Prefix: Guide
Select All Threads,
Move to New Forum
Set Permanent Redirect


New Forum:
Tons of Guides.

Basically it will be the hot spot for all the content. Since each guide must get to the CMS, I think it will be fruitful to keep them there. Plus, they can be searched in their previous sections as well.

That sounds like a great idea to me. Before the CMS I had trouble finding certain articles and guides. Its easy now but this will make it even easier.

Sounds like a good idea

I think that before we attempt to organize all of the content on the forum, we should modify the CMS in the way that katz suggested in another thread.

To be honest, a forum for all of the guides, how-to, text-files and reviews seems redundant to me because it would be doing what the CMS is supposed
to do...organize content.

Just my 2 cents though.

Well, the guides etc are spread all over the forums and it's hard to publish them. I am just moving them in one place section by section, publishing them and moving them back if required.

Plus, I already understand what Katz is asking and for that to work we need take handle this in a more professional way. Just after going through 65 guides I saw we're already losing major things.

All these changes can be reverted back any time.
