I am SharePoint & .net developer. Just new to CMS (\umbraco). Planning to create a job site with a CMS where users can upload their short resume vedio apart from other things post & view jobs etc.
Wondering, Does umbraco have the functionality for this atleast job list, view, login etc....
Sure umbraco is capable of handling such sites, but there's no built-in functionality that suit your needs. On the other hand, it's really no big deal to build those features yourself:
- umbraco provides support for asp.net membership providers, so handling login and the like is just a matter to dropping the right controls on to the right template (just as with plain asp.net)
- uploading resume/vedio (?) shouldn't be a problem either. Have a look at Doc2Form or the just released umbraco Contour product which enables to rapidly build front end forms, and it comes at a very reasonable price (Apart from these two, there other options such as Axendo Forms Designer, and maybe some others, just browse the project section for more options)
- Listing/searching/browsing jobs is all about xslt or user controls to present the data that's been administered in the admin backend. Xslt may have a learning curve, but is quite flexible and powerful.
Feel free to ask more questions as you move along.
