I love this combination of Foundation 6 + TCMS 1 for building sites. But equally watching videos about elements got me thinking.

All the sites I build use TCMS 1 as it allows the user to add as many “pages” as they want and add the content they want.

How could this be achieved using elements?

The combination of Foundation 6 and TCMS does not work in Elements. TCMS 1 has now officially been replaced by TCMS 3.

An option to use TCMS 3 with Elements would certainly be welcomed by many users — but for various reasons, it likely won’t happen.

But is there anything similar that elements can offer. I suppose I am asking if there is a blog element?

Hello Guy hope you’re well? Camper Van OK?

Elements CMS is new, improving and just about to have a major change in v2 coming out next week or so (SHORTLY) have a look at the release and videos. (link below)

There will be a new add on hopefully this year where you can add/access through a panel remotely which will help.

But as you know already Stacks and Elements are totally different platforms and don’t mix as such. If you have elements download the Microblog and look also at Dans DevDiaries to see how things work, but remember they will be changed for the good when v2 Elements comes out.

Hey Paul. Happy new year. Camper now has a pop top roof that cost as much as the van.

I realise they are two very different platforms but looking as whether TCMS 3 is an option or Elements, it looks likely that some learning will have to take place this year one way or another.

Typical you should have just got a new van! 🤣🤣🤣

Do you have Elements? If so download microblog but do look at the video on link I sent you as theres loads of improvements coming soo. Take Care!

We all have learning to do either way! You should be a bit more active in the community about all the accessible bits we all need!

Making comparisons could probably be misleading. Besides the fact that they are different platforms, their development ages are very different. The results achievable are different, as is the time required to design a professional CMS site for professionals and companies.

Elements offers native solutions 📦 , and this is certainly an advantage for those who want to play with a CMS , and as you said, V2 will bring some new features 🥳

THANKS - I have known Guy for years - hence familiarity and I was suggesting he watches video on v2. I think he already has Elements so hence suggestion of microblog.

I do appreciate what you have said though! Keep up your excellent work and have a great weekend!

I suggest that you download my (currently) free Little Book of Elements CMS and read it. You can have as many pages as you’d like, and yes, it can be used as a blog element.

The current shortcoming of the Elements CMS is simply that it has no external page creation (i.e., you can’t add pages while in a Web browser, you have to do that _in_ Elements). However, we’re promised that will be an optional Component at some point.

I have one site already using Elements for the blogging, and another that’s about to appear (waiting for the 2.0 drop) that will use the Elements CMS for both blogging and articles.
