Can I use Wekan as a CMS?

Wekan / General · April 6, 2020 at 12:32pm

Hi, I'm a teacher and currently use Trello as a CMS, not as a "to-do" management. It is very easy and fast to use to organize content and programming of my courses at school. I can add formatted text (with markdown), images, videos, links, attach documents and files to each card, I can do searches, I can share it with colleagues and invite them to collaborate... It is taking a lot of time and effort and I would like to have all the data under my control, and I was wondering if I could use Wekan to do the same.

Thanks.

Okay, so when you click on an image nothing would happen. I would have to put a text link, right?

    Yes. Wekan and Trello has some features that are at both. Then there are features that only Wekan has (like Swimlanes etc), and some that only Trello has.

      Trello is closed source, so I don't know how they implement all those. Wekan is all different code, graphics and design.

        Okay, it's a little more cumbersome, but it can be workable. Anyway, is it possible that in the future you can implement the embedded video feature?

            Hmm, maybe if I would have custom field type video, and it would have direct link to video file, and there would be player in Wekan itself.

                Thank you for your patience. One more question that has not been clear to me: to adjust the size of the images to the size of the card, what would I have to do or is it a modification that you have to do?

                  something like this code:

                  <img src="https://image.jpg" width="200" height="200">

                          That is a recent fix that setting width and height works again https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v384-2020-03-16-wekan-release

                            Well, I'm going to prepare Wekan to play with it on my dedicated home system, thank you very much for everything.
