Is it possible

  • Hello everyone!

    I’m planning to start a musical portal. I was initially going to use PHP + mySQL but WordPress has been suggested to me instead. What is very important for me is that the name of the band/song/album etc is incorporated into the address. However what I don’t want is something like that: https://www.website.com/123423141234/pagename.html what I do want is that: https://www.website.com/pagename.html
    Secondly, once I create all my content I want to automatically create a list of keywords for all my content, something like cloud tag, if that makes any sense. Once I have it, I want all the words on all pages that match any of the keywords to be converted into hyperlinks. Those links should point to an index with all the pages that include given keyword. There should also be a search option available, but that probably comes in as standard.
    Third of all, and that’s the tricky part, I want to include a widget (I’ll probably create it in Flash, but not sure about it yet) that will automatically (or is ‘dynamically’ the word?) create content depending on the page name (which should be band’s / song’s name).

    I’m not asking for instructions how to do it [ yet ?? ] but rather if it’s possible at all? And is WordPress the best weapon of choice or am I better of using PHP + mySQL and some sort of a script that would create those pages for me based on database content?

    Thanks!

  • Depending on how many pages you will get you can get a problem with your URLs if they do not start with a number (problem starts at above 150 i recon). This is a problem reported before and is most likely (but not definetely) still a problem with wordpress. The recomendations is to have /%id%-%postname%/

    Cloud-tagging is not a problem, as long as you have been tagging your posts / pages. Its a simple plugin / widget away.

    in conclussion: It is indeed possible to implement the things you mention if you arent picky about the urls when the site exceeds around 150 pages ??

    Heya,

    Thanks for reply!

    I can sense problems on the horizon:
    – it’ll be definitely more than 150 pages. many more
    – I don’t want to tag pages manually. I need a script to do it for me based on most popular words in the entire portal

    I was really hoping WP would be ‘it’. That’s a shame… Would any other CMSes be able to do that? Drupal? Joomla?

    Thanks again!
