Well, I had a long night last night after I got home from work!
Had a couple of hours off watching TV then did about 7hours coding/learning about a simple CMS (Content Management System) that I want to make.
I was having a play around with CMS’s for a friend that is wanting to pick one to use on his website, having a look for one that is simple for users that don’t know what they are doing, yet SEO friendly whilst keeping ENOUGH features to not make it pointless.
Maybe it’s just me, but I couldn’t really find what I wanted anywhere so I’ve decided to make my own!
Started coding it last night (as I said) and at the moment it’s pretty rubbish to be honest!
I am coding it in PHP and using a MySQL database to run it from – 3 databases:
- Pages – pages for the site itself
- Admin – pages included in the control panel
- Users – users that can log into the control panel
I don’t think it’s coming along too badly at the moment considering the work that has been spent on it (and I was drinking whilst coding so had to do a few pages multiple times), got a few bugs which are annoying me but that’s more to do with lack of wanting to do research and just using the good ol’ trial and error method!!
Anyway, I’m thinking once it’s all coded up I’m going to set up a small test site somewhere and put some content on it and see if the performance is going to be good enough and what other features I’m missing.
Here is a sneak preview of the administration section
