How To Make A CMS??

Hey people, I have been wanting to start making websites for people for ages now but how I make websites, is eather with a free script or I make it manually (edit each .html page) but if I make for other people, I think they would want to edit them over the internet (go to www.website.com/admin/) but I have no knowledge on how to create anything like it...

Would any of you be able to just start me off, even just help me like if I add a code to one page that I have on one of my sites and then I will be able to edit it from another. That would be the biggest help ever because that is really what I want to know.

Here it is in English lol:

1. I paste a code on one existing page (page 1)
2. I place a code on another page (page 2)
3. I can go to make 2 and from there, edit page one.

That is basically it. If any of you can tell me how to do that, i will be greatly happy.

Thanks!!!

You could try "Cushy CMS" if you are new to CMS in general..

I was looking into CMS like Joomla, Xoops, Drupal and stuff. I ended up going with Wordpress cause it does pretty much what I want and it is a lot easier.

Try wordpress. Look at the many plugins for it. If it doesn't have what you want then try a CMS.

 

I agree with Daniel, if you don't need ecommerce WP is great, otherwise go wtih Drupal or Joomla.

 

I strongly recommended wordpress. Easy to use and have a ton of plugin.

 

Hey guys, thanks for all your contributions, but this is not what I want.

I know about wordpress, and all the other ones, I have made many sites from wordpress but I would like to try to make my own one that is very simple but that I can develop on and learn how to do it myself. Any tips on that?

Thanks.

 

Try Drupal then, it's great for your situation because it's free, out of box gives you a neat product, and you can install hundreds of modules very easily and then eventually custom code your modules with PHP.

 

How much PHP/MySQL do you know? With knowledge of this you can create your own simple CMS. You will face certain issues such as security and all that but it will be a good learning experience.

You can go even simpler and not use a database but instead just pages. Create a template and use PHP includes for common areas and then just change page content as you go. This would be like a flat file cms.

Look into how other CMSs such as Wordpress (mySQL based) and razorCMS (flat file based) are implemented by looking at their code and it will give you some ideas.

Hope this helps.

 

If you actually want to "Make your own CMS", literally, then you'd probably want to use Zend Framework

 

I forgot to mention there's an old tutorial that walks through the steps of making your own CMS, although I don't think it's supported anymore, but it might also give you some ideas:

Wow, thank you very much for your help

 

You're welcome!! Good luck with your project, let us know how it goes. Should be highly educative!!

 

If you learn PHP, and MySQL then I think you have the strong base to build a CMS,
HTML and CSS and JS is then required to make a template, and make it look pretty.

You can use Joomla + WP as examples on how some CMS systems are created.

Education is the key to sucess!!
