[thelist] RE: Which CMS to use

Andy,

My company has spent the last year developing a .NET CMS that would fit your
needs perfectly. If you're interested, you can check out the basic
"marketing speak" at www.capitolmedia.com/subtext.html. 

I don't know if you're looking for a hosted solution or something on your
own servers, but we'd offer hosting with the full CMS for $25/month. If you
wanted to move it onto your own servers, there'd be a small licensing fee.

Basic features include:

 * Article upload
 * Workflow management
 * Asset management (files of any kind)
 * 100% customizable template pages - you define the template
 * Round-the-clock technical support
 * Permission-based editing at the micro level
 * Email management

If you're looking for something more open-source (which I can totally
understand), this may not be the right choice for you. But, on the upside,
this is a great way to cut down on development time and project costs. Plus,
we provide free upgrades with each new release (about once a quarter).

I hope you find something that works!

Hi everyone, thanks for the comments.
 
Apologize for not specifying my needs right away.
 
The CMS we need is for an academic web site which focuses mainly on
articles. We will be having visiting scholars who will have access to
the site and be able to upload articles online, which will be approved
by the editor. The basic template is Title, Subtitle, Image, Text,
Quotes, and a link to a discussion forum which we would like to
integrate too. As the article is approved by the editor, and is inserted
into the database, it should automatically be updated on the index page,
with its own thumbnail image, title, and preview copy. All articles
should be searchable with the search feature.
 
The layout is simple, a top navigation bar, and a hierarchy-specific
links bar on the right. Another feature is a mailing list.
 
Design is a very important aspect, so if there is support for GoLive of
Dreamweaver that would be great. The editors and article-posters will
not be familiar with HTML, so a user-friendly and easy interface for
posting/managing articles is very important.
 
Again, appreciate your time
 
Andy

Response: Great clarification Andy. I can recommend Mambo, as did someone
else. I am currently using it on two sites. I have tried and used around 15
different systems all under the label of "CMS". Some were so bland I may as
well spend my time writing one from scratch rather than spend numerous hours
adding mods, hacks and add-ons. Others were way too bloated for my needs.
Using Mambo for the last month, I've come to highly appreciate simple, clean
technology that just *does* it. I've added a few goodies specific to my
needs, but the core is flexible enough to suit most things. For you, I would
suggest a component like DocMan to manage large numbers of documents.
Components that are built in that you don't need (polls, etc.) can be
deleted via the admin interface. Others are installed by uploading a zip and
one click.

Many CMS developers are moving towards removing hard coding and better
standards recognition as well. As with many, Mambo has some hard coded
design elements, but allows for templating and a complete admin area for
your non-techies and is moving to full XHTML (fingers crossed). Download a
simple 2- or 3-column layout and add a few lines of provided php and there's
your template.

Not associated with Mambo at all.. just satisfied. Otherwise, again try
opensourcecms.com!

Hi there.

I have setup a phpbb bulletin board for a customer's website which has its
own database etc and works all by itself.

The website will also have a number of web pages that are member's only
pages that will require a login.

 

What I would like to do is have one central logon page that would have the
effect of making the users logged in to the member's pages and the bulletin
board. So I guess using all the functionality and database of the bulletin
board to act as a login to the member's page.

I know basic PHP but any suggestions to head in the right direction would be
great.

Cheers

Justin

First off shouldn't that be $gamesResult["gp"], which is what you have in 
your SQL.

Second, don't forget this as a resource:

         http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

I think you need to take $gamesResult and pass that through 
mysql_fetch_row() or mysql_fetch_array().

$rowDB = mysql_fetch_row($gamesResult);
$losses = $rowDB["gp"];

Or something like that - my PHP is very rusty.

What you need to do is fine out how phpBB does it's setup of the user 
cookies or sessions when successfully logged in. Then replicate or use 
those functions in your login page. Then when you protect those member only 
pages, use the session/cookie check phpBB uses to validate the current 
session/cookie.

A function called RATES, with no parameters


> var find_rate

Local scope variable labeled FIND_RATE


> document.rate.country

 - [document] Current document
 -     [rate] This is most likely a FORM Object ID or NAME
 -  [country] SELECT Object NAME or ID

> [document.rate.country.selected Index]

An index of that object.

Since it is a list, this is treated as an array.

So, this gives the INDEX value of the selected item


> .value;

What is the value of that selected item


> var find_rate2

Another locally scoped variable


> find_rate.split(",");

Now, take the value of the selected item form the COUNTRY select list
And split it on the COMMA into an array

Interesting. A select list that as 2 values for each item in the SELECT
list


> 	document.rate.Peak
> 	document.rate.OffPeak

This is most likely NAMEs or Ids of TEXT Objects or TEXTAREAs

> .value

This is that value of each text object


> document.rate.Peak.value=find_rate2[0];

This pulls the first element form the array and sticks it in PEAK text
object


> dcument.rate.OffPeak.value=find_rate2[1];

This pulls the second element form the array and sticks it in OffPeak
text object


Does that explain it?

Greetings Everyone:

   I'm on the hunt for some software that will allow me to view offline 
(on Windows XP) the contents of raw log files from our clients. We have 
about five different online viewers, but I really need someone to use 
offline.

   I'm hoping for some recommendations.  I googled a bit, and I'm trying 
out web log expert, but I'm more into programming and less into swimming 
in log files.

Thanks for all the great help,
Burhan

There is also mysql_escape_string() which should be used.
Another suggestion would be to change your die() to something like 
die($sql."<br />".mysql_error()); -- atleast then you would know where 
it's failing :)

The problem here is that mysql_query() will not execute queries that end 
in a semicolon (I believe for security reasons).

<quote ref="http://www.php.net/mysql_query">
Note:  The query string should not end with a semicolon.
</quote>

So, your only choice is to execute separate statements.

I would have recommended Web Log Expert - the lite version is freeware.

there's some more options here.
