PDF Ebook Tutorial Content Management System
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, as this is described in another tutorial (the Job Site 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
To complete this tutorial, you will make use of features from MX Kollection 3. If you do not have the MX Kollection 3 bundle, then the following separate products must be installed:
- MX User Login
- ImpAKT
- MX Includes
- NeXTensio 3
- MX Widgets
- KTML Lite
To complete this tutorial, it will take about 80 to 100 minutes, depending on your web authoring level. 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 structure you should use.
