How should we CHOOSE a CMS
for our project?
LOGICAL WAY:
(1) Identify the FEATURES we will need for our project
(2) Download PLUGINS (Modules) for various CMS
and see which one sucks the least, for your needs
(3) Choose THAT CMS for your project
![Page 6: 1 Information Management DIG 3563 – Lecture 6 Content Management Systems: Wordpress J. Michael Moshell University of Central Florida Original image* by](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649db15503460f94aa0a6d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

How WILL we CHOOSE a CMS
for our project?
LAZY but MOST COMMON WAY:
(1) I already know how to use XXX (usually Wordpress)
(2) So we will de-scope our project as needed
to make it work with XXX

Wordpress:
• Advantages:
- only one version-stream; usually up-compatible
(but you still must check modules
for compatibility with your version)
- simplest system to use
Disadvantages: 1) Some security hazards in plugins.
2) Everybody
knows how to use it … so … no ADVANTAGE

Wordpress:
• NOTE: wordpress.com is NOT wordpress.org
•Wordpress.com is a HOSTING SERVICE which
lets you set up and run your own blog
* Wordpress.org is a SOURCE CODE SERVICE
which lets you download, customize, and host your
own CMS. (They're cousins....)

Wordpress:Installation
• Download Version 3.6
• Unpack it
• Move the wordpress folder into
our docroot folder (MAMP: htdocs; WAMP:www)
* browse to localhost/wordpress
or localhost:8888/wordpress
This will cause index.php to be executed.

My first attempt failed: DATABASE ERROR
I tried several things. Ultimately I deleted the database,
created a new one named 'wordpress' and went through the steps again.
This time it worked.

Wordpress:
Originally a Blogging
System. Fundamental
element = "a post" –
dated, signed, with
limited format
control.

Wordpress:
Evolved into a

In a CMS, the fundamental
element is a page ... e. g.
the startup page.

Some things to fix.

I try to delete the tagline "Just another Wordpress site"
I find the Settings option, and try changing the tagline.
Click "Save Changes" and get this error message.
I use the Back arrow to make sure the site still
displays... but clearly Wordpress isn't perfect yet.

• "Job Ticket" got a lot of vague hits; none promising.
• I need synonyms. Wikipedia yields nothing.
•* Support ticket – bingo. Lots of 'em.

What do we do NOW?
In the next two weeks:
Your team must install THREE CMS: WHERE?- easiest: your own laptop (3 people, 1 CMS each)
-You need to install WAMP or MAMP
(local Apache server, on your laptop)- Second easiest (usually) your own hosting site
- Many of them offer Wordpress or Joomla or Drupal
"starter kits"-Hardest (but I will help, if necessary) – Sulley
(More details on next page.)

Installing a CMS on Sulley
Why is it a hassle?
1)You have only one DB per user, so you must
put all the tables into your existing DB, not a new one
2)The source code for a CMS is bulky, so it is
a pain to upload via FTP.
(Solution: I will have the starter kits on Sulley
already; you can transfer directly to your area.)
3) Local development via MAMP or WAMP does not
depend on Internet access, slow turnaround, etc.

Installing a CMS on Sulley
But – am I REQUIRED to install on Sulley?•No – not for this “wet feet” exercise
(your group might not choose this CMS)•But if you have no localhost capability, it might
be your only option.

DUE IN TWO WEEKS:
Your team must install THREE CMS:
* wordpress (latest stable version is 3.5)
* drupal (use drupal 6; it’s stable)

Best way is if one person takes responsibility for each.[[Note: a wise person will do one they’ve not seen before]]
You must Modify the Theme (away from the default)
You must Install one or more modules (for practice)
You will demonstrate what you did, to your own
group (and possibly to the class)
