View Full Version : Monthly Publishing

I have a site that has multiple "issues published monthly", just like a print magazine.

What I'm envisioning is this: Contributors have a logged access point, where they upload their articles, marking where they'd like specific photos to go. That goes into an "inbox" of sorts, where the various editors can look for their specific subjects. They then edit the text for all the usual stuff they edit for, and edit the pics as well, to fit our format and quality standards. That edited article then goes into a "proofer" section, where someone other than the editor proofs it and makes sure there's no gaffs. At that point, it goes into the "publish" pile, where, at the end of each month, I tag each article for the next month's issue and press a button to go live.

Will Vivvo handle something like this?

Here's the URL for my site:

Matt,

The scenario you mention requires implementation of something we call "work flow".

Vivvo CMS cannot handle this sort of work flow at this point, but we are going to implement such advanced features in future. For a large online newspapers this is definitely a must.

Thanks for your inquiry.
