Can I use Wekan as a CMS?

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.

Do you mean like embedding video link to card?

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.

I need to think can it be done securely

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?

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

Cool!

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
