      Great suggestion.... OTOH, it’s a pain to maintain two copies of everything.
      I can understand the pain. You are investing so much time on this already. I hope you find time to launch bob’s home made bread that is delivered fresh worldwide on demand. love all your work.
      However can’t you use symlinks when you make copies of existing content in different parts of the site?.

          Thanks for the kind words.

          Yes, but what I meant is that if there’s an Evo copy and a Revo copy of all pages, it’s a pain to have to keep them both up-to-date.

              Many years ago I tried to teach an elderly friend who was a PhD and a library volunteer to use the mouse; the library had just installed Windows 3.1 (actually I did the installation). He just couldn’t get it. So I had to make a cheat-sheet of keyboard shortcuts for him.

                the same, it’s harder for elder generation to learn all these new features so fast, they appear too fast and for example my parents try to get into it too deep that isn’t usually possible, so they’re afraid to make a mistake and don’t do anything that is not good sad Although my Mom shows very good results to my opinion.

                    Another newbie question about document access permissions. Need to make some container accessible only by loged in webusers. Found how to do that by creating webdoc groups and usergroups. But can I do this withought creating a usergroup?

                      No. It is the relationship between user groups and document groups that secures the document.
