In this chapter, have now popular in CMS. Mainly aimed at the surface is a certain experience and technical level of the site. Of course also welcomed the veteran of criticism. Beginners can also choose just for reference. Everyone can get in YiErDian feeling, I will be very happy.

A CMS, what

The Management System by CMS is English abbreviations, incredible is the Content Management System, we call it a habit ZhengZhan System. Its main function is to use the advanced management idea, to add posts, download, users and integrate the content module to intensive management. It's advantage lies in the integration, can effectively reduce the management cost and manpower expenses, can easily create gateway website. The effect of class CMS is routing and intensive management idea, the product in domestic popularity in recent years, beginning from 2004 compared with other single content system integration, more and more web producers, especially the various aspects ability of people welcome. Co., LTD The market is becoming more and more prosperous, from the simple PHPNUKE abroad, XOOP now domestic complex DongYi, wind CMSware, etc), and dedeCMS CMS has developed rapidly. Increasingly, function integration module and strong, the user surface also more and more widely. Certainly, in the future a CMS longer period, the construction site is still the mainstream applications.

Second, the main characteristics of the CMS

This part of the surface of an abstract, because I also not limited, the technical level of developers. We in use, also more consider its function without pay attention to its technical characteristics, then stood in a skilled users to talk:

1, more content integration

Front spoke of CMS advantage lies in our website content integration, generally can be divided into: news/download/sharing, articles and pictures/Flash, film and television broadcast, message/online/BBS etc. In the past, we realize these functions, often can use different developers products, so different system has a different form. First, user data unified background of unity, management and the difficulty. By solving the CMS intensive, now most of the CMS built one or more content model, adopt uniform database, unified management background, the content of the unity between the model can use function definition, management, convenient.

2 and technical structure, hardware cost effectively reduce single

We used to realize content, considering safety and function model, can use to different technical background of products, such as news system is the BBS, ASP + ACC and PHP + MYSQL, different system may require different hosting and domain, the different hardware cost is exorbitant. But now the CMS according to the different technical level, the developers often USES a single or PHP, ASP, SQL database using ACC etc, users need to configure a single host and easy to use, cost domain effectively reduced.

3 and 1 passage of users

The contents of the current CMS models, user data is Shared between unity. Users can use to register an account of all websites, simplify the operating function definition, optimizing the steps used interface

Third, CMS choice

Currently, the CMS phyletic content and technical realization each are not identical, no unified common development platform. Users in the actual choice, according to their level of technology and web content to have pointed choice, the following simple talk about personal views.

1, domestic mainstream CMS's profile

Now in the ASP system: the mainstream DongYi (Powereasy), wind (FoosunCMS), Newasp clouds (new), Joe guest (Joekoe), etc. This system to face each are not identical, the technical level is different. The function of DongYi comprehensively, content more, the number of model, powerful user center is friendly human-machine interface, can effectively integrate BBS "dynamism". Free unlimited use, function also comprehensively. The number of currently used for beginners and many of the school website. Comparative bad is DongYi need to install the DLL components support. Commercial version of price compare exaggerated, personal purchase or not recommended. The wind - I've been feeling it is according to enterprise and the gateway of the design level users and powerful technology, but the demand is higher, doesn't suit individual especially strong technical strength does not use the novice, commercial version of the price, of course more exaggerated. The new cloud, always feel that it is DongYi cloning, many function definition, function module and DongYi similar DongYi relatively less, but DongYi than good human-machine interface, though limited but more practical function. Recommend novices. Joe in domestic ASP is a statesman on CMS, very early launch and function, users above all is very good, but do not feeling too atmosphere, recommend novice use.

In PHP, is also a popular trend. The main CMSware: this several DedeCMS, Ecms and

CMSware is required for a higher technical strength, but its function of system is very strong, especially its PSN and workflow definition, more show its unique atmosphere. Although the free version there is a time limit, the price also is very commercial version, but not from my personal purchase and use more than one year, the feeling is really worth it. The various function definition embody a very large dof, you have much higher technical level, it can reflect how powerful features. Suitable for large-scale portal-based website use adsense. Higher technical level of the veteran also should not be missed. Currently, but compared to the previous customer usually have big progress.

DedeCMS truly free and open source functions, a PHP CMS, now very popular, although its version 2.0/3.0 keeps jumping, more show its popularity. Dede customized flexible and powerful, the technical requirement is not high also, so to get a lot of individual webmaster. And its characteristics of free open source, but its future is the limit.

Ecms site management system, namely the empire. Is a recommended, because its author WC is a superman, one also do N a product development, promotion, marketing and customer service, every day is around irrigation AD. Product functional modules, flexible, convenient, the definition of calling background friendly interface, integrated ability (so-called usb interface integration, as long as it is not abnormal MYSQL all). But with my personality, WC on customers' opinions adopted is considerate. Free version is limited, but commercial version of the function of price also is approachable. It was after the development of company of ideas (WC I said, cannot be confirmed.) Man often mixed with webmaster information BBS water. The typical customer: http://www.chinahtml.com old ghost

2, choose a suitable product

CMS powerful technical requirements, but relatively high. Choosing appropriate CMS, targeted. First, consider the content on the website. Its content is defined in different sites of each are not identical, have made the news, have made the tutorial, have made the download, do the film. Due to the limited manpower, usually a single face often. CMS although powerful functions, management is convenient. But this does not mean that all you need, therefore, should have pointed choice to realize their site definition content with relevant system. Second, the content of technology is convenient. Here said the technology, mainly including template, field/function definition, content acquisition, user defined, etc., some functions of CMS is simpler, like DongYi etc, and some of the more complex but strong extensibility, like CMSware etc. According to their own needs to consider the technical level, each in its official basic CMS produce professional DEMO version are free trial version, and Suggestions for specific use in more than before. Third, technical support and after-sales service, in actual use, will meet to solve the problem, then consider the system of free technical support ability, and commercial version, the official discussion related solutions, to observe and consideration, some have certain data base or a long-term development planning users tend to consider buying more comprehensive commercial version. Before buying, just to be careful study of the official promise, possible to communicate with customers and business. Shopping, in the choice before must look before you leap.

Four, the use of CMS

The use of CMS is a systematic process, because of its powerful functions, a master and adaptation process. So, in order to close quickly make the CMS exert its advantages, we should do what thing?

1, the study of the basic knowledge of database server and operation

Most of the CMS tend to rely on certain technical system, such as the ASP + ACC or SQL Server, PHP/MYSQL Server and the related + optimization. You must grasp these configuration knowledge, it is not difficult, a lot of CMS's official website is similar, many websites have related content. If you still don't know as soon as possible, the study suggested, which doesn't spend much time. Of course, if can buy these services, but authorities are not worth, because many of these technologies are not difficult to master, the future may also have used many times.

2 read manuals and product development

Mature CMS have a detailed explanation of the developing manuals, etc, Q&A, suggest you document before use, a detailed reading them. Of course, not reading may not affect you use, but they can let you to solve many problems, the basic way many pains. But they spent time with, you don't read to solve the problem of time, is too little, so why waste valuable time?

3, produce professional Demo or browse the CMS of important customer sites

Most of the CMS produce professional Demo, there are optimized configuration and the general state of the templates, if you can go there to study, helpless. Browse the important customer's website is also a kind of fast, while there is no way to get access to its background, but the definition can also give you some inspiration.

4 and learn to use more search

I often in many CMS's official BBS problem area of similar to "see", "begged online etc." let people with compassion, but in fact the title of the posts, are often some fundamental questions. Actually not so now take the time to ask, I believe that you must not be the first to use this product user, so you want to ask a lot of questions may be someone mentioned. So, the official website BBS, some problems occurred in summary, suggest to inquire after the problem, if not more, in the relevant parts using search keyword queries. This time than "begged" online, etc."

5, communication, question is a virtue, but please clarify your question

When there is a problem with official or others to ask how much is the right solution, but please clarify your question. I always wondered why some people always unfailingly, or the Chinese education, although a failure, but also should not appear so many words meaning of terrifying. Jane, The problem that is clear, the details of nearly possible interception was that the image is more. You should believe that you put the question of the said that more convenient, address in detail. Such as "I installation failed" and "I use XX version, server is XX system, XX configuration, systems and database is normal, but failed, the situation is installed, I try to use appear XX XX, but still failed", which do you think is more acceptable. Language is an art, but the words clearly not difficult.

6, formulate detailed rules of content

With the use of the basic in knowledge, you should consider using the further rules, or say, or a process that plan. Example: installation system -- -- -- making stencil import data classification definition -- add rules - add content acquisition. Every step should be considered in advance, especially the establishment of the novice friend started, these things are complicated and requires repeated test. But make a list of applicable rules themselves may reduce many unnecessary trouble.

7 and users to solicit Suggestions

CMS is properly installed, we also need to make use of the user testing, such as functional testing, template definitions, links, like effectiveness, etc. The demo after closed It can meet many problems between, although some looks and CMS itself has no relation, but it may affect the satisfaction of the system. Websites will is public, want to consider to every detail.

8 and learn to write logs and build web knowledge

Many people from the study began, you write diary fidgety teachers and parents may also criticized you write diary is pure chronicle. But they forgot, rotten blotters also write better than nothing. So-called good forget it. Take your job content faithful records, and soon you will accumulate within a lucrative wisdom wealth. The job can be very simple log contents, such as your daily operation, the new rules, problems and solutions of the user's feedback, and to other sites. Long insisted down, you will find some regularity and inspiring stuff, you might think so, again, let it become tidy your website, can give users the repository, also can give oneself for reference and improvement. I just Win2003 contact, always used to search for knowledge of Microsoft TechNET community, mastered many techniques, long after I also put his work into logs, now do knowledge website and write articles, I can always find a lot of useful in the old knowledge.

9, learning, deeply, with good

After a certain period of time, you will reach the height of a new knowledge, may try to make some common template or plug-ins, or to solve some new customer's problem. Congratulations, you grow, actually put in any system with good in itself is a process of learning. Don't go much attention: can I use this money can do a CMS sites, you shall come again in this process means more than words can tell learned and mastered a lot of new knowledge, accumulated a user and flow, and become the system of senior user. Then again, then do a thorough study of the relevant technology and knowledge, do more personalized improvement, spare no effort to improve the user interface. Money should be at this time is a trace of things.

Five, some other words

1, if you are a normal website have good thoughts, you can consult my opinion.

In early February, although people can get to the speed, but no one is the same, so that you may not be completely according to others. Because people don't do well, put his whole into a CMS of others or copy. Mirror You will have different personality,. You must have their own unique idea, the problem is you to put your ideas reflected.

3, don't always complain that no official solve your problem, you should think more, to solve her own problems. Among the solution is a huge wealth, not to others.

4, can ask people, but don't know can also study. The most annoying is hanging in the study of old and do nothing. This is the materialistic society, the society also quite exciting blundering. Many people buy lottery tickets from rags to riches, preoccupied with the first question is always less chance of space as the proportion of the earth, so steadfast, less said. Don't always thinking of comfortable, not comfortable with the CMS. The two words, the most afraid of serious you think you do anything serious, the matter must be better than other not seriously do things to complete.

5 and caution, especially when you when, the economic capabilities are limited to steel on the edge.

6 and it. Sometimes difficult problem, can have very troublesome problem, don't give up, to persist.

7 don't avid CMS will be consumed with energy. So remember to dinner time on sports, and rest. The body is the capital of revolution, 30 years old are you invite trouble after 30 years, was looking for you. Myopia, smoking, hungry belly, irregular diet and rest, people will decrease.

8, don't start thinking about how to make money, my personal website the retrospection of the three crisis ", many people add my QQ asked me how to make money, and I couldn't answer. But the general process is, you must first website -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- formed accumulate flow style again last may earn money. The problem is that many money postmaster finally often think money is not the main, they like to do this course site among the fun.

9 and I really want to emphasize that four method, web programming, write logs, you want to write down the pen, it is very easy to do, you take pen for paper can begin immediately. Many people say you it is truth, and is easier said than done. The problem is you didn't do it, do not where have the result. In the heart is blundering, irrigation, drew a boring to run a 100 meters, you will find that heart awake, absolute fierce thinking more water than the boring more meaningful flax acid nerve. Truth, not doing well, continue to infuse water, is a way of life, is of your own choosing. But I want to say, if you do not, continue to boring, still can make money, unless the Halley's comet. Success belongs to have idea of action.
