Hi all freaks!
I have been thinking hard, what would be good solution for a
straight-forward content management. I want to forget polls and forms etc..
and concentrate first only on different kinds of pages.
I came up with this approach in "nightly vision", wich felt very flexible.
ADMIN FORMS
**************
- customised to different purposes: news, articles, contact information
pages etc...
- they all submit data to SAME table, calles NODES
- certain forms take anvantage of HTMLArea-solution in certain fields, which
degrades to textarea in older browsers
ABOUT DATABASE
*************** **
NODES TABLE
- has enough fields to most of the purposes
- each node is connected to one author, 0..N..limitless number of editors,
o...n images and to 1 template.
- id, title, introtext, bodytext, author_id, template_id, publication_dat e,
etc...
- also couple of ordinary linkfields for those authors who dont write html.
AUTHORS TABLE
- stores author information
EDITORS TABLE
- connects editors, rights and nodes
- author can give rights to certain editors to edit certain mode that he has
created
IMAGES TABLE
- stores images
NODELINKS TABLE
- connects one node to another
- innodb -> links are always valid because when page disappears, links to it
disappear also!
IMAGELINKS TABLE
- connects images to nodes
- innodb -> links are always valid because when page disappears, links to it
disappear also
TEMPLATES TABLE
- html/php-templates: infopage, personnel info, news_page etc...
So, my idea is:
1) one basic table (nodes) with some other tables is enougfh for many kinds
of tables, because then templates make different kinds of pages to look and
feel different
2) node has user rights that nodes author gives to 0..n..limitless editors
in addition to himself. In this way node is useful to many kinds of
purposes, from company news-collection to public visitor book
3) this works both as text-based and wysyiwyg cms, depending on the authors
skills - and browser.
Is this idea as good as it look to me still? I feel that the number of
different applications is reduced by this solution. I hope I was able to
explain what I mean. If you dont' get my idea, please ask more.

Go for it dude :)
Worst thing that could happen is that you'll learn from the experience.

Hi to all,
a few days ago I installed MySql 5.0 alpharelease (on WinXP). Works
fine. I also decided to use WinMySqlAdmin, which starts and stops the
Database korrect.
But it seems, that the tool has no root access to the database. I can
not maintain or even view structure tables. But I can see the database
I defined.
following is the content of the my.ini file.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
