The Green Beast CMS (GBCMS) is a powerful, highly configurable, flexible content management system featuring three (3) ready-to-use pages, including a news page with RSS and a content form, easy setup and install, file uploaders, and more! If you’re looking for a powerful content management system (that does not require a database of any kind), you should give the GBCMS a thorough try. I’m confident you’ll find it not only meets but also transcends your needs in an efficient way.

Can it do what I want it to do?

I would say yes, Ryan. The GBCMS v.1.3 can do it all. If you want to create a web site with it, for instance, all you have to do is speak into the unit. Say “Build” then say “Website” then specify the page count, nav style and location, meta data, colors, fonts, et. al. The CMS does it all. If you need more site visitors post-launch, just speak into the unit. Say “Seek” then say “Visitors.” You’ll have a page rank of 8 inside of a week. And this, Ryan, is just the tip of the iceberg. Advance commands, such as “Wash” “Car” are also understood and carried out. And if that’s not enough, we also have a special “Companionship” plugin for those long winter nights. Just say “Do” “Me” and the CMS does the rest. ;-)
Okay, okay, I jest. On a more serious note, what do you want the CMS to do, exactly? Otherwise your question is too vague.

Jona told me probably not.

I have a lawn business, and I want people to be able to login and see when I mowed their yard last, and how much they owe me. Which means, I’ll need a place to put it all in and stuff.

I see. You’d have to set up a script to do all that (would be simple), plus have a client login, but the CMS won’t make it for you. It would, however, give you an easy way to access the files for updating.

By the way, the Version 1.2 to version 1.3 Upgrade Instructions are now available. Read more about it in this Official Post.

How easy would it be to add a splash page while keeping all the other files in the same directory?
December 26th, 2005 at 5:14 pm
That wouldn’t be a problem, Matt. You would simply make your splash page file — I am assumng you’ve got a handle on that — and name it index.php (if adding any tracking includes, etc., given on the Data & Tools page) or index.html (if no PHP features are needed). That file would reside on the root level, same as the other pages (homepage.php, contactpage.php, and newspage.php). The splash page’s “Enter” link would lead to the homepage.php…
<a href="homepage.php">Enter</a>Naming the splash page file index.php (or .html) will act as the default page file for people going to www.yoursite.com.
As alternative, you can use the homepage file as the default landing page. It might be a good idea since splash pages are not always a good idea. Anyway, rename the file from “homepage.php” to “index.php” and update the name of your main page from “homepage.php” to “index.php” in the main configuration file (see Docs). It’s file #290. The first config item in fact. That’s it, the whole thing should work as it’s supposed to. Let us know if this helps?
