The development team that I lead is standardizing on Zend Framework (http://www.framework.zend.com) as a development platform. This category of posts will be dealing with the issues that we are running into, and how we are solving them, to help alleviate other people’s pain.
Well the problem still stands, my client has 3 levels of content and Joomla 1.5 only supports 2.
The things clients make you go through … We have been working on a rush magazine job using Joomla (http://www.joomla.org) , and all was fine until the client brought out their “Mind Map” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map) essentially a representation of the information architecture for their site. And like no other, they had 3 and 4 levels of content that had to be incorporated into the site.
2011 seems to be heating up in the CMS space
Almost 85% of the Internet population uses the top 3 browsers which are as different as they are similar. I do love and hate each of them in their own ways.
If you are developing or updating a site hosted by Intuit Websites (http://www.intuit.com/website-building-software/) you need to be careful when publishing behind a proxy.
Google the king of search has made the speed of websites and page loading a key actor in ranking. This coupled with the need to use 3rd party frameworks for front end development, like JQuery, MooTools, Scriptalicious, Yahoo YUI, to support the multitiude of browsers has a larger burden web developers.
On a client project, a new server has been provisioned 400GB HDD, 32GB RAM, Intel Xeon 5660 processor, CentOS 5 all in a virtual machine.
Someone said that the browser wars are over, well I am not sure of that, they will only be over when Internet Explorer from the great and mighty Microsoft (M$FT) as its called by open source advocates starts following standards and its own rules all the time.
Well it seems like my woes with OpenCMS migration seem to be over, but the issue is so strange only experience can enlighten one. This still re-inforces my thoughts that Java based applications are huge, complex and diffcult to work with.
