Hi all,

 

I am shortly going to be starting a website, it's a personal project so no specific client needs, and am wondering whether to code by hand or use a CMS.

 

It will basically be a job-search site for students, with many features similar to sites like monster.ca Should I use a CMS for this? If so which one?

 

Thank you all in advance for your replies!

 

Regards,

 

Brendan

CMS would probably be used in this situation.. Possibly Drupal?

Okay, this is what I figured. Now my problem is that I have tried to learn Drupal on several occasions and have failed misserably. Any tips on learning how to use it?

If it's a job search site why not just use a 3rd party Jobs script? Most of the hard work will have been done for you.

i might try that out myself actually

Nice find! Got that bookmarked now

One question, how do you import the database like it says in the readme.txt file?

lol no idea, what does it ask? i havent downloaded it yet... im still looking for a way to make money out of it.

that looks free as well, but easier to link a payment system to

I have attached the document... i'm wondering about the part where it says to upload the database

readme.txt

ah

 

have u installed wordpress before? its asking basically the same stuff.

 

are you working locally or online? does ur host give u mysql?

using localhost, and have mysql and phpmyadmin if that helps so how do i import it?

you need to create a new database.. how ever you do that your end... enter the details in the config and save and run the instalation

 

- DB_HOST, local host

 

DB_USER, the admin username

 

DB_PASS, and password

 

DB_NAME, the database name that u have made (the mysql name)

 

NOTIFY_EMAIL,

 

ADMIN_EMAIL,

 

SITE_NAME ur site name... localhost/whatever - i think... never worked locally.

 

 

is that what ur asking??

 

im going to get tonic now for my gin, il check back in 30mins

No, I'm wondering about step 2... how do you import the database?

ah i missed that sorry dude

 

open up phpmyadmin, on the 1st page just above log out there is an import link and an export link.. import
