RE: CF-Based Content Management Systems
I guess FarCry is the biggest, meanest CF-CMS-machine out there, but also the most overhead. Mura can do a lot for you, but might also be overkill. Why not see of BlogCFC or MangoBlog can do the thing your client wishes? Anything Adobe might also mean as long as it's a CFML-product, so anything that runs on Railo as well is a good option. Try to see how small you can start before falling into the overloaded CF-CMS's. And if you can specify more, might I also suggest our small, but excellent Onlinebase CMS?

Thanks in advance for your assistance. Adobe doesn't make any CF CMS. There are many third-party CF CMS products, though. Some, like Far Cry, provide you with additional language commands that you can use to build your CMS. Others, like CommonSpot, provide you with an out of the box template mechanism that you can modify for your CMS. Some are free, others are pretty expensive. So, you'll want to figure out how much time you want to spend customizing the CMS, and/or how much money you want to spend on canned functionality. You can certainly build 508-compliant CMSs with any of these tools, but you will be responsible for that yourself in most cases.

Re: Advertisment Content Management - problem with random image
Ah yes that will be because there is another variable somewhere in the request with the name ADID and it was using that instead of the one coming from your query. Thats why you should always scope your variables, unless there is a specific reason not to. If you scope them, the function isnt left to make up its own mind whether it'll use request.ADID, URL.ADID, form.ADID, application.ADID, session.ADID, client.ADID or variables.ADID or another ADID that might have strayed into the request somewhere. As you've discovered, debugging errors like that are really hard, because there's no error message thrown and its quite possible you might not even recognise that there IS an error for some time.

Re: Advertisment Content Management - problem with random image
I would have thought the counting of views wouldnt have anything to do with how the banner is selected. They are two different db transactions. Are you sure that .val(GetADs.views) is giving you a numeric value? Are you sure that incrementvalue(val(GetADs.views)) is giving you a value 1 greater than the number of views? If you are getting those values right, your query should work to update the views number in the table. I would just be certain that the elements are giving you the values you think they should be . I would be checking with CFDUMPs to make sure that val(GetADs.views) and incrementvalue(val(GetADs.views)) are showing the results you are expecting. I dont know how your GetAds query would be drawing data from the wrong record. I notice that your GetADs has datasource=#Green# and the other query has datasource=Brooke. Could that be a source of the error? Do you have two different datasources?

That's going to happen as ads are removed. Using the technique I use, it selects a random record from the records that exist in the table, whether sequential or not. Umm... nope... non-sequential keys won't be an issue with the solution I posted because I used a randrange against the number of records in the query and then fetched the ID from that record using array-notation, so the ID is guaranteed to be in that query when it performs the 2nd fetch. Ike, your solution requires two trips to the database, mine requires one. So . my dad can beat your dad . nyah nyah nyah !! g Heh... you need to get your eyes checked. The 2nd query is a query of query. :) The only real issue he might have with it is that he might want to see ads removed immediately when he deletes them in his app and that code won't remove them right away, it'll wait until the following day. And that actually means that my code would be making a LOT fewer trips to the database in total (1 per day instead of 1 per request). ;) But he could of course reduce the cache duration and have the changes show up every hour or so if he didn't want to either throw away all the cache or produce a more complicated solution for invalidating the cache. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 781.769.0723 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316240 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

CFQUERY DATASOURCE=#Green# NAME=GetADs maxrows=1 SELECT top 1 * FROM dbo.banner_left ORDER BY newID() /CFQUERY That will select a random record from the table banner_left Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 3:12 PM, Will Tomlinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am using a varent from sparty2809 on http://tutorial323.easycfm.com/ It works great but was created for ACCESS and uses an autonumber datatype.

Re: Advertisment Content Management - problem with random image
slight correction - i had a redundancy - you dont need maxrows=1 as well as SELECT top 1 so the query would be better written as CFQUERY DATASOURCE=#Green# NAME=GetADs SELECT top 1 * FROM dbo.banner_left ! if you want to add some restrictions like for example only select from the ones that havent been displayed recently - WHERE lastdisplay 'whatever' ORDER BY newID() /CFQUERY That way you're suing SQLServer's inbuilt randomiser, doing the whole thing in a single query. I use this all over the place. I have some sites where i have a random image displayed in teh header, and a couple of others where i have a random quotablequote displayed, another where i have a random joke appear. All use this same technique and it's quick as a flash and rock solid. All you have is a query, with a single record, then you have ColdFusion display it. That's all there is to it. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316233 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Advertisment Content Management - problem with random image
Ike, your query will still attempt to select records that have been deleted The original problem was that the keys werent sequential if some records have been deleted. That's going to happen as ads are removed. Using the technique I use, it selects a random record from the records that exist in the table, whether sequential or not. IN fact if you had 4 ads on the page, you could randomly select 4 of them with this: CFQUERY DATASOURCE=#Green# NAME=GetADs SELECT top 4 * FROM dbo.banner_left ! if you want to add some restrictions like for example only select from the ones that havent been displayed recently - WHERE lastdisplay 'whatever' ORDER BY newID() /CFQUERY Ike, your solution requires two trips to the database, mine requires one.

That's going to happen as ads are removed. Using the technique I use, it selects a random record from the records that exist in the table, whether sequential or not. Umm... nope... non-sequential keys won't be an issue with the solution I posted because I used a randrange against the number of records in the query and then fetched the ID from that record using array-notation, so the ID is guaranteed to be in that query when it performs the 2nd fetch. Ike, your solution requires two trips to the database, mine requires one. So . my dad can beat your dad . nyah nyah nyah !! g Heh... you need to get your eyes checked. The 2nd query is a query of query. :) The only real issue he might have with it is that he might want to see ads removed immediately when he deletes them in his app and that code won't remove them right away, it'll wait until the following day. And that actually means that my code would be making a LOT fewer trips to the database in total (1 per day instead of 1 per request). ;) But he could of course reduce the cache duration and have the changes show up every hour or so if he didn't want to either throw away all the cache or produce a more complicated solution for invalidating the cache. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 781.769.0723 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316237 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: ColdFusion Content Management Systems
Hi Ron, I responded last night and this afternoon but it did not save - so I will try one more time. We purchased ShadoCMS/ZoomFlex mostly to do Flex development and use the generated code from ZoomFlex to drive the server-side functions CRUD etc. The generated code all follow the MVC framework. I used the system to build the schema and the database to a MSSQL 2005 database -- pretty easy to create a package of data classes and define all their properties (Fields). Modification to the schema can be made and it will be reflected in the SQL database. The system can do so much and be customized but truthfully I have not gotten that far yet, but touches of it with templates and such. There is a whole system included to manage your content contributor and their access. The people at Straker are quite helpful. Ask for an online demo! Download the system and play with the demo and the system. Read the marketing and help docs -- lot of stuff. I am planning on adding the Multi-Language module soon. This system has more available than one would expect from SEO to custom controls like Country combobox. Good luck, Arnold I am looking for a ColdFusion based CMS for a fairly large corporation. After shopping around I have come across a product called ShadoCMS. I have not heard much mention of them within the community, and I was hoping someone might have some experience with the product. It looks like a pretty nice system. Does anyone have any experience with the product that would be willing to comment good, bad or indifferent Thank you Ron Gowen ~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:285129 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Simple Content Management
If your application is built on the Plum Framework, you'd have the Plum CMS available to you, and everything is free of charge: http://www.productivityenhancement.com/plum/WhatPlumCanDo.cfm This won't be an option if you're trying to integrate it into an existing site that uses another framework, though. If your team can all access the same LAN then you can use Macromedia's RoboHelp, which is a *phenomenal* tool. You can build and maintain an entire library using RoboHelp, and some companies use it to build all the information they make available on their intranet. We use RoboHelp to create both the compiled .CHM help file in Plum and the online version using the same source files. Really slick. A third suggestion would be Macromedia's Contribute, which is another phenomenal tool. Take a good look at all three. Hope this helps.

Re: Content Management System (CMS) Wishlist (making a cms multlingual)
I think you need to do it another way, by adding a content table that defines the content and groups it, e,g, ContentID, Content Type, Then you havea relationship to another table which is the join of press releases so you group them all as one: contentID, PRID This has now linked it to a lot of press releases that can be in different languages (and versions) and you get the latest for that language for the content ID so you have the root contentId as the unique identifier for a content and you then can associate it with another version.

Depends on your requirements (or the clients!) 1) Content library, this should be acontent item and assigned either to multiple languages or a single language (e.g. english and spanish versions both link to the english download as there is only one... which we can then separate, or it defaults to english PDF if there is no spanish version) 2)Depends what files.. if they are site images, then split them up as images/EN , images/ES etchave one default language so if you dont find a resource you can default to the english (for example) so not to get broken links and errors 3) Accounts.. same repository.. add a preference for language 4) Workflow.. you should have workflow templates that you can use that are held in the same place.. if you need something special add a Workflow for ES content concept (with the right translation of course! and make it available to users that are meant to use that workflow 5) Template Libraries..

Re: Content Management System (CMS) Wishlist (making a cms multlingual)
I think I mentioned this in a previous post.. If you are using an idea of one table row per language idea you have a root table that defines an article (no matter what language and/or version) with the ID: ContentID, Type 5, Article A join table that defines the link to the content ContentID, ItemID, Lang 5,1, EN 5,2,CY 5,4,FR Then you have the Item table along the lines of ItemID, Title, Content 1, A title in English, Some content 2, A title in Welsh, some content in welsh 3, A title in english, not related to content 5 4, A title en Francaise, the content in french Then you create some method (function or whatever programming language you use) thatgets the content e,g, getContent(id, type, language) the id passed in gets ALL language versions of that via the join table, the type (if required) gets all articles (there might be differetn content associated with this item) and the language to get that version only Hope that helps MD On Mon, 20 Sep 2004 12:04:46 +0100, Ian Vaughan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Quote Sounds to me that a single article can have translations (a standard way of dealing with content) How would this look from the backend though ?How would your table / tables be set up so a single article can have translations ??? cym/welcyare the ISO codes for Welsh From: Mark Drew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 September 2004 12:02 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Content Management System (CMS) Wishlist (making a cms multlingual) Sounds to me that a single article can have translations (a standard way of dealing with content) I come from a coldfusion background so I am used to the idea of Structs in which the content of something can be in english and accessed such as content.EN or content.FR or content.Welsh (whats the ISO code for Welsh?)

Re: Content Management System (CMS) Wishlist (making a cms multlingual)
1) Content library, this should be acontent item and assigned either to multiple languages or a single language (e.g. english and spanish versions both link to the english download as there is only one... which we can then separate, or it defaults to english PDF if there is no spanish version) well i would say that there ought to be a a spanish one. english defaults to the rest of the world isn't probably going to hurt that much (unless maybe you're selling stuff), but what about the other way around? suppose you have a website in thai that deals with setting up a business in thailand. in theory you have an english page but all it contains is the title, etc., in english w/the rest of the keep-you-out-jail and lower-your-taxes info in thai. wouldn't that suck if you couldn't read thai? 2)Depends what files.. if they are site images, then split them up as images/EN , images/ES etchave one default language so if you dont find a resource you can default to the english (for example) so not to get broken links and errors again i'd stump for must have. if your client locale uses right-to-left writing system (arabic,hebrew for example) and you fell back on en_US graphics, you'd confuse the heck out of folks trying to navigate your site (if you used graphics for navigation). 3) Accounts.. same repository.. add a preference for language i would suggest locale instead, CMS isn't just text content, you'll need date/numeric/curency formating for sure. 4) Workflow.. you should have workflow templates that you can use that i'd stump for one workflow to rule them all. in theory i would have one site, same structure, same content (different languages), etc. websites that call themselves teh same name but offer different content, navigation, etc., per locale/language are for the birds.

RE: Content Management System (CMS) Wishlist (making a cms multlingual)
Content libraries in my system are not content items. It is a structurized way of sorting content, under categories and by meta labels. In my case, each language has it's own Content Library because the category labels could be multilingual as well. It is a bit hard to explain, but see it as a windows explorer view where the maps are the categories and the files within the content. It should never happen, that a spanish website gets english content by itself because the spanish version is missing. So if the spanish version of a pdf is missing, throw an error, not get the english version :-) You might give the client bad information.

Don't you hate site that return you to the root but in the other language? frankly i've found hardly anybody works thru a website that way. normal folks come in, set their locale/language (or better yet their locale/language is silently delivered to them) navigate thru the site. a good app remembers their locale/language (its called locale/language stickiness) for this subsequent sessions. it also has a prominently displayed manual way to swap locale/language. staying on the same page is just nice, hardly required.

I created a CMS that you define types using XML as the markup. that just said what form elements made up your content item.. I then used .cfm display methods (as they are a bit more dynamic than XSLT transforms) 6) link management and short links 7) multilingual .. how you do this on an item or page is up to you 8) ability to change site sturcture, add remove items easily 9) Publishing to static HTML if required (like blogger) both local and via FTP 10) Emailable updates (I send an email to a special email account to add content) thats a start :) Regards Mark Drew On Sat, 18 Sep 2004 00:23:27 +1000, Mike Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm currently doing a spec for a new CMS I'm building for my own use.

RE: Content Management System (CMS) Wishlist
Multilingual, as in frontend support is still quite unique. Only bigger vendors in the medium, or enterprise level markets have builtin support for multilingual content = not just creating a separate branche for other languages. Creating a system being able to handle multilingual content, on object bases, is not a simple task.

Re: Content Management System (CMS) Wishlist
My case for creating one is this I want to understand intimately the workings of one.Every time in the past i've tried to get into the inner workings of an application, I've ended up saying to hell with it, I can make one myself.It's not a lower cost way ot doing it, definitely,but I want to do my own, because it's a mountain I want to climb. whenever I look at the insides of a CMS, there's heaps I dont understand.. Why did htey do that?what is that field in the database for?why did they do it that way around?So in order to fully understand the issues i'm building my own. For example,there are half a dozen ways to control the display of approved and non-approved content, and to make sure that a rollback is always possible and an audit trail is there for changes.It took me ages to figure out how the first one i examined was working.So I set to and made my own.Now I understand why that first one did it they way they did, and understand how much better theirs was than my own effort. It's my way of learning. I reckon CMS is the future for the next few years in web develoment, and there are precious few ready for XHTML.So there are opportunities for me. Thats my business case for doing it. And aside from all that.I wanna. SO there!g Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com .com,.net,.org domains from AUD$20/Year [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

I have seen it in spectra just using Structs but the issue here is that you should get away from one record = one bit of content.. if you are doing versioning you will have an object that is a content and then another table with the versions and languages ..

Paul Micha summed up exactly what I was referring to when I meant decent. Most CMS systems approach this by creating a separate branch or mirror site as you mentioned. I would be interested to see how farcry handles this. Ideally I'd want to work with a language aware system such that I can change languages in the cms to see the alternative version of the content in a different language.

Re: Content Management System (CMS) Wishlist
I guess they still use seperate branches, according to some of the screenshots shown on the website. One of the screenshots show a treeview, and on top a dropdown box with english in it.

Geoff: I am very happy you replied!!! I have been very interested in FarCry, and have checked out the website several times, and even played around in the demo. I joined the FarCry-dev list as well, and saw your e-mail last night about this post. I wasn't sure if FarCry's open source version came fully featured, even with the demo. It seems that it is.

CMS, because of security concerns, the CMS exists on a different server than the public website. On the caching issue, what happens in the event of a CMS change? How do you trigger that a new version of a page has been published? How would/do you do it if the website exists on a different server than the CMS? CFMX shouldn't be a problem. We just got a new development server TODAY for a new project, and we have a new license of CFMX for J2EE and JRun (which I will upgrade to MX Enterprise 6.1 as soon as it's installed). We will have a chance to get the server up and running and the content in place in time for January, when we might be ready to upgrade the production servers to MX. As soon as the server's up, FarCry's going on it. Thanks again. Brian, I would be interested in hearing opinions on some good CF-based CMSs. I need to develop a short list so that I can evaluate a few systems. I couldn't help weighing in with some real information about FarCry. It's open source so this is strictly not a sales pitch -- just some healthy evangelising. Here are my requirements: Permissions Workflow Images and documents stored in Database, but are published to website. Permissions, oh yes -- great security model (LDAP, JDBC/ODBC, ActiveDirectory/NT Domain or all at once), use the roles that come with the solution or define your own. Restrict publishing to one branch or other of the site and more. Workflow -- yes. Plus versioning, archiving and rollback. Images in the db? No. we store an object for each image with captions, and other metadata but the image itself is on the file system. Static pages that can be stored in Database - allow versioning. DB should act as a STORAGE mechanism and NOT DYNAMIC, in most cases (This is not how the existing system works). Not sure what you mean by this. FarCry will serve dynamically from the db or you can activate caching which will effectively prevent this. But its not generating flat HTML files. Oracle 8i/9i - DB maintenance available OUTSIDE of system (Isn't this an issue with NQCONTENT?) We support Oracle -- though our installer doesn't install to Oracle you need to import the schema. This should be added soon (open source effort -- you might lend a hand :) CF5 preferred; CFMX Enterprise possible (we'd have to upgrade; there may be COM object issues if we do) Sorry. CFMX only. It's all CFC based. EASY TO USE for the USERS!!! (CMS users have to be able to use the admin, not fight with it every time they want to do something.) Yep. Plus there is a great thumping user guide and admin guide you can print out. http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/users Uses stylesheets I should be able to make CMS and site interface changes, if needed. Hell even have a Breeze presentation on this for FarCry! http://daemoninternet.mmalliance.breezecentral.com/p99348887/ Simple URLs! - e.g. http://www.easynavigate.com/section/page.cfm (our current CMS does not do this and that is the single biggest complaint from the executives) Oh yep. We have the FriendlyURL servlet integrated as an optional plug-in you just turn it on. Works magic in Google. RELATIVELY EASY TO GET UP AND RUNNING Relatively easy to customize, if necessary I think the record installation time is within 3minutes. Sometimes we get bored and race each other :) I can elaborate more if needed. Join our busy, busy developers lists: http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/support/mailing-lists Here are a list of CF-based systems that I know of... FarCry - Open Source - inspired by Spectra (CFMX based - more of a framework than a finished system?) Inspired by Spectra. Not sure I'd say that. We have a similar COAPI approach to the treatment of content. But I like to think peoples experience will be a little more exciting. Yep. It is a totally finished system. It works straight out of the box. You can demo the product here (as long as some enterprising person hasn't broken it -- if so, should reset in a couple of hours): http://demo.daemon.com.au/ Yes

How do you trigger that a new version of a page has been published? How would/do you do it if the website exists on a different server than the CMS? CFMX shouldn't be a problem. We just got a new development server TODAY for a new project, and we have a new license of CFMX for J2EE and JRun (which I will upgrade to MX Enterprise 6.1 as soon as it's installed). We will have a chance to get the server up and running and the content in place in time for January, when we might be ready to upgrade the production servers to MX. As soon as the server's up, FarCry's going on it. Thanks again. Brian, I would be interested in hearing opinions on some good CF-based CMSs. I need to develop a short list so that I can evaluate a few systems. I couldn't help weighing in with some real information about FarCry. It's open source so this is strictly not a sales pitch -- just some healthy evangelising. Here are my requirements: Permissions Workflow Images and documents stored in Database, but are published to website. Permissions, oh yes -- great security model (LDAP, JDBC/ODBC, ActiveDirectory/NT Domain or all at once), use the roles that come with the solution or define your own. Restrict publishing to one branch or other of the site and more. Workflow -- yes. Plus versioning, archiving and rollback. Images in the db? No. we store an object for each image with captions, and other metadata but the image itself is on the file system. Static pages that can be stored in Database - allow versioning. DB should act as a STORAGE mechanism and NOT DYNAMIC, in most cases (This is not how the existing system works). Not sure what you mean by this. FarCry will serve dynamically from the db or you can activate caching which will effectively prevent this. But its not generating flat HTML files. Oracle 8i/9i - DB maintenance available OUTSIDE of system (Isn't this an issue with NQCONTENT?) We support Oracle -- though our installer doesn't install to Oracle you need to import the schema. This should be added soon (open source effort -- you might lend a hand :) CF5 preferred; CFMX Enterprise possible (we'd have to upgrade; there may be COM object issues if we do) Sorry. CFMX only. It's all CFC based. EASY TO USE for the USERS!!! (CMS users have to be able to use the admin, not fight with it every time they want to do something.) Yep. Plus there is a great thumping user guide and admin guide you can print out. http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/users Uses stylesheets I should be able to make CMS and site interface changes, if needed. Hell even have a Breeze presentation on this for FarCry! http://daemoninternet.mmalliance.breezecentral.com/p99348887/ Simple URLs! - e.g. http://www.easynavigate.com/section/page.cfm (our current CMS does not do this and that is the single biggest complaint from the executives) Oh yep. We have the FriendlyURL servlet integrated as an optional plug-in you just turn it on. Works magic in Google. RELATIVELY EASY TO GET UP AND RUNNING Relatively easy to customize, if necessary I think the record installation time is within 3minutes. Sometimes we get bored and race each other :) I can elaborate more if needed. Join our busy, busy developers lists: http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/support/mailing-lists Here are a list of CF-based systems that I know of... FarCry - Open Source - inspired by Spectra (CFMX based - more of a framework than a finished system?) Inspired by Spectra. Not sure I'd say that. We have a similar COAPI approach to the treatment of content. But I like to think peoples experience will be a little more exciting. Yep. It is a totally finished system. It works straight out of the box. You can demo the product here (as long as some enterprising person hasn't broken it -- if so, should reset in a couple of hours): http://demo.daemon.com.au/ Yes it is a framework within which you can build and extend -- BUT I stress again, you don't need to do anything to it to get it humming along. In fact first thing people want to do is just change the look and feel. Spectra - Allaire/Macromedia, now Open Source (framework) Um sort of. Has anyone actually seen the source?

Content Management Systems - a short list...
I had a chance to look at AssetNow. It looks very interesting... the concerns I have are no Oracle... and I am not too keen on the splash screen that comes up after you log in. A lot of the users of this system are not computer savvy, so it shouldn't overwhelm them. Otherwise, I like the price a lot and the features look great, too. I had never heard of this system until today, but it is one of the ones that's in the game! plug www.assetnow.com /plug Can generate content to static html pages - however not all features are support on static pages. Johan - Original Message - From: Brian Meloche [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 4:51 AM Subject: Content Management Systems - a short list... Dave, thanks for the reply. CommonSpot and Site Executive seem to be pretty common recommendations. I know both were covered in recent CFDJ articles, as well as a few other systems (NQContent and Ektron). Time to dig out my old issues! :-) Most CMSs don't actually store the images themselves in the database, but rather just where the images are stored on the filesystem. True. Ours stores images on the file system, but documents are stored in the database. Both have led to many problems. See below. DB should act as a STORAGE mechanism and NOT DYNAMIC, in most cases (This is not how the existing system works). I'm not sure what you mean by this. I would like the actual content to be static on the web server. It would be managed from the system. Versions would be stored in the database and published to the server via FTP or CFFILE, so that the content would exist statically. Right now, almost all of the content on the website is served up dynamically from the database. This leads to a complete collapse of the website when the database goes down. This seems pointless, since most of the content doesn't change much. If the content was published statically, but stored in the database for management purposes, that would eliminate this problem. Only dynamic pages would be affected by the database going down. Oracle 8i/9i - DB maintenance available OUTSIDE of system (Isn't this an issue with NQCONTENT?) I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, either. I took a look at NQCONTENT while at Devcon, and read its review in CFDJ. The problem with it, if I remember correctly, is you have to surrender database maintenance to the CMS. In other words, the DBAs and I couldn't use Oracle software, SQLPlus, TOAD or SQL Navigator to maintain the database. It's set up almost like you would use PHPMyAdmin to manage a MySQL database online (just an example - I know there are MySQL clients - I like MySQLCC, and have had good experiences with it so far). If anyone's used NQCONTENT out there, and can prove/disprove this, I would love to hear from you in this thread! CommonSpot meets all these requirements, and I think Site Executive does too. CommonSpot uses a pretty simple browser-based interface for managing content, but you need to run Windows/IE to get the most out of this, I think. Windows and IE 6 are the standards here. There are many versions of Windows in use here, but everyone runs IE 6, so this shouldn't be a problem. RELATIVELY EASY TO GET UP AND RUNNING Relatively easy to customize, if necessary CommonSpot is pretty easy to get up and running. However, I think that these two goals are opposed, to a certain degree. In general, it seems to me that the easier it is to get started, the harder it is to customize. Systems like Spectra (and FarCry also, I assume) are very customizable, since they're really more like toolsets than applications. I realize that. I would like something that would allow both, if possible. Of course, I am a customization wizard :-), so I am not too worried about that. As long as I have access to the source code, that shouldn't be an issue. My main issue is that I want to be able to get the system up and running as quickly as possible, so that we don't have to manage two CMSs and two versions of the content for very long. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Content Management Systems - a short list...
This looks interesting - but is there any non-shared hosting option? That's all I saw on the site, and that puts it out of the game. This is not an option for us. Hello, cfplug http://www.editingmadeeasy.com /cfplug This product is geared for most small businesses. It provides the flexibility of site updates, enforces business rules, and is completely software independent. It does not require *anything* other than FTP on the webserver serving the site to be edited. The current version does not support versioning, but that is in the works. - j james curran technical director nylon technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] 212-691-1134 -Original Message- From: Brian Meloche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 12:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Content Management Systems - a short list...
