Gig reviews. Can anyone suggest a module ?

[Deluxe]

I'm setting up a music enthusiast site for a friend. He wants to be able to go into admin and quickly add his gig  reviews with photos with minimum fuss, preferably with a template - Band:____, Venue:___, Support:___, Date:___, etc. so all the reviews look consistent

I'm new to WB and my knowledge of web development is extremely limited. Is there a module that would be suitable for creating a 'review adder' similar to the news page?

Just use à newsmodule and make à ckeditor template,

Using à newsmodule Will also Hove you THE possibillity to show THE latest x reviews om other pages ( anynews)

Thinking about it, the Topics Module would be a good alternative as well. It has all the features of the Members Module and then a little something

Thanks. I will try out the News and Topics modules. The Members module isn't really working out.

The 'Gig Reviews' section, which I've set up using Members is diplaying the full reviews, including pictures, in a list, which isn't the desired effect. I just need a list of gigs (with maybe a thumbnail image) that visitors can click on to see the full review. I'm also using the Aggregator module on the homepage, which works fine with all but this page - again it's listing the FULL reviews, including pictures, on the homepage.

Hi Deluxe,

I tackled the same problem at www.liveinyourlivin groom.nl (go to "Recente optredens"). We built a custom module, so from the backend the user can add the events, they show up in the calendar on the homepage and when the gig has finished, it shows up in the recent gigs section (Recente optredens) automatically. The user can edit the concert at any time to add images / reviews. The submenu automatically fills with past years when there is info about those years. The site has just gone live, so there aren't many past gigs available and the user is still getting used to the system / adding information.

I don't know if you need all this, but I didn't know of a module that could do all that. So that's why we built it ourselves. Unfortunately not free to distribute, but it can be programmed into Websitebaker.

That would be perfect, but unfortunately I don't have the expertise to create my own modules
