questions before purchase

[listen1999]

Hi, please give me answer for the following questions for my pre-purchase valuation:

I am working on a portal website for my company, a press media. I need a CMS like this:

Site visitors can be classified as anonymous, registered, and VIP (annual subscription purchaser). Site content can be classified as free content and premium content. Anonymous visitor can only see free content and teasers of premium content. Registered member can participate forum discussions, read free content of course, and update to VIP member. VIP member can read all content both free and premium on the website.

This is the core requirement of the CMS, could you tell me to what extent vivvo cms can support this. If you purchase the enterprise version, is the php source code available for customization? What template engine does the cms use, smarty, xtemplate, or others? Based on your current cms and my requirement, if I ask you to do the customization, how much would you charge me?

Please give me quick response.

Thank you for your interest in Vivvo.

The CMS supports most of the requirements you mention - anonymous / registered subscribers with free / premium content.

A feature we built in the latest 3.2 release allows exactly what you need - Membersip-based Access. Please refer to following tutorial to see how you can "lock" certain areas of your website and allow unregistered users only to see the abstract of the story (teaser):

The PHP code is available for customization in Enterprise version. However, if you customize the PHP code yourself, we do not provide warranty of any kind.

We use our, in-house developed template engine. We can do any sort of customizations for you, charged by hourly rates. Please, contact directly sales@vivvo.net for accurate quotes.
