review features in Cascade CMS
Investigated the structure of the templates and code blocks provided in the Cascade CMS. Had a very difficult time figuring out how to modify the scope of changes, particularly how to modify elements that appear in all pages in only one section (e.g. adding an element to the secondary navigation bar). Also failed to figure out how to modify the templates to allow placement of blocks I'd created. Presumably, there's some way of writing a template which is dependent on the template provided by the central Sytems guys.
Judy went through the list of features for content-editors and then the two of us reviewed her findings before I sent them on to the committee through the Sharepoint site. If we upload an image and the create a link to that image, we couldn't figure out how to overwrite the image. When we uploaded, the system generated a new file name. Worse, when we deleted the original file, the link to it was also deleted. Of course, when we then renamed the new file to the original name, the link was not magically rewritten.
