I want to use open source for the foundations of a new web 2.0 service. Assume bottom of the stack is LAMP (or at least- L+A; not wedded to the +M+P) run on a hosted server.
But the range of o-s dev environments and tools available is bewildering! How do I navigate to choose the best platform for my needs? What are other considerations?
Here are some crude specs that the underlying o-s CMS and/or dev environment should provide or support:
* Allow a community of everyday users to contribute their content (pics- a-la Flickr)
* Custom dev of tools (implemented with AJAX?- by hired talent) that allow users to manipulate/markup content
* Other community features like discussion forums
* Scalable to 000s users- ++ more contributed items; ie.- robust- proven
* E-comm./shopping cart integratn
* Integration with other sites (eg- Flickr!)
* Easy for a tech-savvy- but non-developer owner to do basic content admin
TIA!
Thanks for the answers so far.
Let me clarify that I would expect a non-developer to be able to do basic site admin.
For more complex functionality (provided through AJAX-y widgets)- absolutely this would require development effort using some framework/toolkit that is compatible with the underlying CMS or web application platform (which could be a Drupal or whatever -- this is what I am asking for opinions on!!)
I simply don t believe that "there is no such free CMS which meets my requirements." In fact I believe there are dozens- if not more- with application frameworks making the decision even harder.
I am asking for input on how to choose from the vast collection of what is available today- not advertisements for developer services -- I ll chase these after I have selected the platform- thanks.
I would like to learn the core of AJAX with PHP and
MySQL intergration.
Can you recommend any publications or online sources for html- xml- ajax and css??
Also do I need to learn Javascript as well? is it required for designing websites?
hi our server prevents the client from caching our pages. i m not an expert with this but i ve seen codes like these:
header( Last-Modified: . gmdate("D- d M Y H:i:s") . GMT );
header("Cache-control: private");
now- i m doing some ajax request. but i want the browser to cache the returned value of the ajax request. is it possible?
put in other words. i want to cache some pages while others are not. and also- are ajax request cachable? thanks.
thanks for the input. but i found the answer- returned response through ajax can be cached.
now i posted another question because i was having a problem determining the local time of the client s machine.
I want to make a web 2.0 popup.. I dunno what kind of language it would be in... maybe ajax- but I just want a little window to popup maybe 30 seconds after the page has loaded in the same page as the content... and I Just want a little message to display.
How would I do this?
I have a function in javascript witch is running on <body onunload="myjsfunction();"> event. I execute some code in .NET and call it with AJAX but i can t get the url to redirect the user to his chosen destination!!!! Is there any method to get the clicked url???
fjpoblam - this will return the current url I want to catch the target url
