Building a Content Management System
September 22, 04 by kenrichWell today has been another fun day at work – I spent most of the morning finishing up another lookup form for our web site. It was basically another implementation of the other lookup I worked on yesterday. And since I already had done most of the work previously, it went very quickly.
Now I have been added a new task to create a whole bunch of content
management areas for the web site. Instead of creating a whole bunch of custom admin interfaces and public viewing modules, I am going to try to integrate everything into one unified system. I will do this be creating generic Content storage in the database where all the properties for the content can be stored in another detail table.
This will be a lot of work, but it will make things easier down the road when we start building other specific content areas for our other clients. It is something that we have done before with other major entities in our database so I know that it works. The one unfortunate drawback is that it places a greater load on the database server … but when in Rome!
