Hey,

I've installed the current stable version (3.2) locally.
And now I'm adding addons & themes and try to set up "common" features in that CMS. But the more addons I install, the worse it gets ... ;-)

I've watched this video from the site http://www.silverstripe.org/software/cms/ and that installation contains everything I'd like to have:
https://vimeo.com/138825445

Is it possible to download this preconfigured Silverstripe installation ?
If not, does anybody know what addons&themes are used in this installation ?

Thanks in advance !

No, I don't think SilverStripe comes preconfigured like that :)

I noticed the following modules in that demo: silverstripe-userforms, silverstripe-blog and silverstripe-taxonomy. I suppose the Googlesitemaps module is installed as well. Besides that I recognize the poll and the newsholder/news pages that come from the original tutorials, so they are not actually modules. I don't think these tutorials are still supported, but a 'holderpage' is easy to build, and you will probably find an example in the new 'Lessons' section.

I do not recognize the theme, sorry.

How do things get worse by installing addons? Need any help there? :)

Hey martimiz,

thank you for your answers and sorry for my late response !

> How do things get worse by installing addons? Need any help there? :)
Well the problem is that almost no addon/theme has screenshots available and the description is not very good sometimes too. Which forces me to install a ton of addons/themes until I find what I'm looking for. And that bloats up my installation and I have to uninstall all that stuff again.
Maybe uploading screenshots should become mandatory when uploading addons/themes. At themes it should be mandatory anyway ... ;-)

Just a thought ... ;-)

I agree that module documentation is really important and sometimes modules aren't that well documented. Having said that, most modules are community efforts, quite often built for internal use, and some authors may find it important to make their modules available even if they haven't found the time to properly document them yet. Personally I don't agree, but hey, that's me... There are discussions going on about this at the dev group at this moment!

if you are comfortable with the use of Composer, adding/removing modules and their dependencies becomes a lot less of a hassle! And most of us collect a series of usefull addons over time, again easily manageable using Composer.
