I want to build a big website with CMS.
Articles are classified with classes and subclasses. Every class or subclass
has it own recent articles and hot articles. Every article has it related
articles. Users can get articles by key words. I have searched the packages of
Umbraco but found nothing that can do similar jobs.
I am pretty new to Umbraco. Is there any
package that can do this? Or I need to develop the user controls myself?
Thanks for the reply of slace. I think the Umbraco videos are only about the basic knowledge of how to use Umbraco. I am an ASP.NET developer and I am evaluating the wordload of developing I need.
Thanks for the reply of Jason Prothero. I felt the blog could be a good choice for me. The blog looks like the blog of WordPress and the function is strong and much better the blog of DNN. I will do more research on it and see how I set related articles by tags.
Thank you Laurence. I am not very clear about your suggestion. Do you mean my job can be easily done if I make some programs work on the Blog? How can I use document types?
I'm saying have a look at the demo packages, and then try and build something.
Umbraco is a framework, its incredibly flexible and you can build very simple or incredibly complex sites using this!
From my personal experience getting it installed, having a play, doing things wrong and learning is a great way to get your head around Umbraco. That was in the days before Umbraco.tv though, for €19 you can't really go wrong and it'll get you up to speed and well as showing you the possibilities in no time at all.
I found it is not a good idea to use "categories == tags" because categories are supposed to have a clear tree structure and can be used for navigation, but the tags can not be used for a tree navigation. Is it possible to create categories for blogs?
How to build a complex CMS?

Thanks advance.
I suggest you purchase an Umbraco.tv subscription, it should get you started on what you need to know.
Sounds alot like a blog. Have you installed the blog package?
articles == blog posts
categories == tags
tagging gives you related articles for free

Any other suggestion?
My suggestion would be to setup a couple of test environments, one with the CWS/Blog and then a clean one.
Then start building and playing with the clean environment using the demo site as reference for code/conventions.
What you are talking about is very easily accomplished using, document types and I'm sure you'll be there in no time at all. Lau
