Tips for an own CMS

Hi everyone,

In a couple of weeks, I think I begin to make my own CMS system. It is for users who have a domain, but can't work with html and php and so...
I want to work with a WYSIWYG editor, so the users can see everything they do.

Do you have any tips for me what I can make in the CMS? Something like: Do I need to make a pollsysteem or not? And what do you need in a CMS?


Already thanks!

I wouldn't recommand you to do your own CMS as long you are no expert in all topics. There are lots out there which are very good.

 

Yes I know, but I will make my own because that's better for me, because other CMS are not exactly what I want.. and i'm a scripter, so, I can do it...

 

Did you have a look at the blogger layout section? if you can make your cms just like that, it would be great.

 

I've made my own CMS. It's a lot of hard work, especially securing your code. There's also so many features to add, it can literally take one developer years to catch up to some of the better CMS systems available. My advice is to take an open source CMS and hack the hell out of it into your own beast. Hell, if you fork it off into something relevant, you may even get more attention and user base than if you were to design from scratch. Just make sure you watch the license agreements and comply with them, especially if you publicly release your CMS.

 

Thank you for your tips.
I don't know what to do for sure, I'll think about it... first i'm going to make an online game (I already started with it...) and then I'll look again...

Thanks for your tips!

Maybe I can do that, I think, if I make a CMS, I'll make that too.

 

You are 14.

 

What do you mean?

 

You'll need a poll system if you want your CMS to be used by people who need a poll o.0

You can always try focussing on one area (gamers, social, webmaster etc) instead of making a 'general' one where a trillion modules/plugins are needed to ensure its suitable for anyone who wants it

And I think a wysiwyg editor might be javascript, but thats because its the only one i've seen (something i downloaded off some random long forgotten site)

 

As long as you are a scripter to play with PHP, there will be a hacker to test your scripts when your days are sunny. The biggest advantage of an existing CMS backed up by an active community is regarding this aspect. Security.

Prompt dealing with bug fixes and security issues, that's what you need to have covered. Plus, a great collection of extensions of plugins will only help your project. And if you're a good coder, that means doors are open to further enhancements. Why not?
