(At the moment this site is a work in progress)
This FAQ should help using the SPIP-CMS. It’s a collection of different questions people asked me lately. I tried to describe different cases as easy as possible. Usually there are different approaches for each case.
I don’t take any responsibilities if anything goes wrong or if the way described doesn’t work for you.
Please contact me for further questions or suggestions.
