Don't let the quietness of the list hold you back from posting questions or problems. Although you might have more luck with the farcry-dev list (http://groups.google.com/group/farcry-dev). The list has a bunch of great guys ready to lend a hand, including few here at Daemon. Hey Brian, just came across your post.

From what we can tell the Savvy product isn't as robust as we had hoped in terms of content reuse (presentation of the content and the content itself are very tightly coupled). I'm going to try and revitalize my FarCry PoC and see if I can improve upon it any. Thanks again for all of your help. @Justin – Thanks for coming back and helping with my questions.

Yes you can do multi-select lists by adding ftSelectMultiple="true" to the attributes I mentioned above. I couldn't remember the attribute at the time and I was in a rush :) See the documentation here: http://docs.farcrycms.org:8080/confluence/display/FCDEV40/Library+Properties Regarding the dynamic content / site tree content issue, I'm really not sure if there is anything to allow you to attach existing dynamic content records to the site tree. There are maintenance tools for orphaned nodes, and no doubt you could poke around in the database (if you knew which objectID's you wanted to attach to which node), but to be honest I have never tried so I'm not sure that there is any nice way to do it currently. It would be a good feature request though. And I haven't tried Savvy CMS - I've only browsed their site - so I can't be of much help to you there! Sorry I only had a minute to reply the other day.

Does Farcry have the ability to give you a simple muti-select list box? From your site it looks like you've definitely played a lot with the new version of Farcry, so I appreciate the tip. I'm currently looking into Savvy's CMS product which seems to have a lot more polish and potentially a lot simpler interface for end users. Do you have any opinion about the product? @Justin – Thanks for the tip. Does Farcry have the ability to give you a simple muti-select list box?
