Coach  9167     Stairway to Seven |  Subject: Web site programmingI want to create a site for a non-profit group involving homeless healthcare. the site would have pages for similar groups around teh world describing their organization, an place for each group to display photos and maybe on the front page, "blog" type headlines that member groups could post. I have programmed in PHP/MySQL before, but don't want to start from scratch. Many of those functions are already done here on BT. How hard would this be? Can anyone point me in a good direction? |

| Elite 2458 Livingston, MT | Subject: RE: Web site programming http://www.phpbb.comis a good start if you want a bulletin board system which is what this site is built around. The other option is to use a content management system such as http://DotNetNuke.com.I like to "roll my own", but there are a hundred ways to skin a cat. |

Coach 9167 Stairway to Seven | Subject: RE: Web site programming Hmm. It sounds like I want a "content management system" if I don't want to spend a lot of time creating it from scratch. I've got more recent experience with PHP, and it just "feels good" to me. I programmed in ASP a number of years ago, about 8, and don't recall it being super hard, just not super fun, like PHP. Does ASP also require an MySQL back end or something similar? What does this site use as far as the database? Thanks for the suggestions. |

| Elite 2458 Livingston, MT | Subject: RE: Web site programming This site is most likely using Microsoft Sql Server. ASP is a bit old school, most folks are using ASP.Net now. The CMS system in the earlier post is one of the hotter .Net CMS systems out there. It's free, open source, is Wrox published, and has a pretty good buzz in the .Net community. I think it even has a messageboard module that you can add in. The learning curve is a bit steep in that most people don't program ASP or PHP using good OOP design even though both environments support it. ASP.net on the other hand requires it. I hope you are getting paid for this sister  |

Coach 9167 Stairway to Seven | Subject: RE: Web site programming Mambo looks pretty cool, thanks for the tip from DonTracy. I think I'll experiment with that. This is the nicer, artsier login page. The graphic I did myself. It and the colors were inspired by the cover of The Sibley guide to Birds...best book ever on birding. http://www.herodias.org/altlogin.html Edited by AdventureBear 2005-11-04 11:16 AM |

Coach 9167 Stairway to Seven | Subject: RE: Web site programming Wow, it's all custom? That's really impressive. I suspected it was when I first signed up for my training log (I was getting ready to program my own web based training log when I found BT). But with all the updates and changes and articles, etc, etc, no wonder you need help with admin! I'm getting out my PHP book again and reading the chapter on building a CMS. You've inspired me! |
