In this tutorial, you will create a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS is a web application that allows you to create articles or any other pages directly online, from a secured administration area.
This tutorial will not present how to implement user authentication The process of protecting a web site by requiring a user to enter an authorized ID and password before entering the site, as this is described in another tutorial. You must however create the login and registration pages before creating any other sections of the site.
This application will allow you to:
create, update, and delete articles.
display a list of articles for the site administrator.
create a navigation menu and display articles in the front-end.
auto-archive articles older than one month.

The first thing to do when starting to create an application, is to take some time and plan it out. Decide on the files to create, and the database A database refers to data organized and stored on a computer that can be searched and retrieved by a computer program.

This just more of suggestion than anything. The CMs example is pretty straight forward to follow, but how about make it more advanced. For example if someone wants use several pages for an article. I did try to create something like that using two tables in the DB. articles & article_pages and I am at least able to parse though the pages using DWMX navigation menu. But I would like to be able to use a dynamic jump menu to go thru to the different pages of the article.. Could you write a tutorial on this? |

Add language selection I think this tutorial for creating CMS is great. But I want to give the web-user the oportunity to select different languages to read the content. The language selection should be included on the frontpage by a dropdown menu so. How do I expand the CMS to get this functionality? |
