This tutorial will teach you how to use KTML 4 to build a Content Management System (CMS) that will help you manage site content easier. Using a content management system allows easy updating to all site content, either by the administrator or any of the other registered users. To prevent bad articles from showing up instantly you can implement a validation mechanism. Articles can be assigned for review, and made visible when approved. After following this tutorial you will be able to add pages with rich content to your site directly from the administration section, without any knowledge of HTML what so ever.
In order to follow this tutorial, you need to have the following software installed:
Dreamweaver 2004 or 8.0
KTML 4 - the online HTML editor from InterAKT.
MX Kollection - a Dreamweaver extension bundle from InterAKT.
A web server with application support - supported server models are: PHP, ColdFusion and ASP_VBScript.
You can complete building this application in around 3 hours, based on your authoring experience with Dreamweaver and MX Kollection.
