This is an EXCELLENT tutorial just as it is -- and it is so precisely because it works from scratch rather than hacking up a more completely themed site using blackcandy. Trust me on this one.</p><p>The only thing I remember wrong is that the instruction to invoke "http://localhost:3000/db/build?flush=1" isn't correct, at least on my machine. I stumbled a bit until I realized I needed to invoke "http://localhost:8888/silverstripe-v2.2.2/db/build?flush=1". The use of the "?flush=1" argument could have been a little clearer as well. All in all, however, this was an exceptionally clear and entirely useful tutorial. I especially liked the way the second level menu mirrored (and reinforced) concepts used in the first level.</p><p>Please consider my comment carefully. I am a new user of SilverStripe, not an old hand like sminnee et alia. As such, I am probably more representative of the audience needing a tutorial. Yup, a from scratch approach is just what the doctor ordered for a yank like me, LOL!</p><p>And thanks, guys. I've been looking for years without success for a truly useful CMS. SilverStripe fills the bill at last!</p>djeberlSat, 28 Jun 2008 03:13:20 -0000
