Couple of Questions, mainly for v2

Couple of Questions, mainly for v2

I've kept a close eye on Esselbach for a long time, and with V2 not too far off (I hope).

I've been looking into it again.

I have mainly 1 question.
With Esselbach, you have a place for Articles, or the likes.

I'm wondering if you can 'copy' that particular module, and use it for Reviews as well, to different sections with more categories, or even the same categories.

I really like the news feature, and the Articles feature, but I was thinking that I may do reviews as well, just wondering if it could handle it.

I hope that makes sense.
Cheers

Ok, I was hoping you could just copy the review module and call it whatever you want, and add more categories to it, but that's cool.

The problem are the database tables as well the links in the templates used by the articles module.

Is version2 still on track for the end of the year?

I hope even a bit earlier (Fall).

Might just have to do another site along side it.

The articles module is actually for reviews Winking Face

Each module serves it purpose. The news module is heavily optimized for news stories. You can import news stories even from RSS feeds or from a mail server. The articles module on the other side is optimized for articles/reviews. An article/review can have multiple pages while the news module is only limited to 1 page for each story.

If you planning to run primary a review website, the upcoming version 2.0 has the ability to run the articles/review module as primary front page module.

A clarification: The articles module is not the content module.

I'm wondering if you can 'copy' that particular module, and use it for Reviews as well, to different sections with more categories, or even the same categories.

You could setup a second installation if you want to reuse the same module for different things. The full version supports multiple websites with the same database.
