Description:
This Content Management System was the final group assignment for my PHP development
course in the first semester of the Rich Media Post Graduate program. We had to
create a website and use the content from the website for the community of Weston in
Toronto. All this content had to be controlled through CMS backend.
This password protected content manager allows users to create, edit
and delete folders or sections for the site, create, edit and delete pages that go
in those folders and create, edit and delete user profiles for the people using the
CMS. It also includes a few modules such as a news article manager and photo
gallery manager. These are displayed on the frontend through feature files that
can easily be attached to any page the user creates and include all the functions
specific the the module. New modules and features can easily be added to the CMS
at any time.
The frontend website basically reflects all the content that is in
the database and builds an attractive design around it. Sarah Wong designed the look of the site, trying to create a
warm and inviting atmosphere. There are few different templates that are used by
the pages depending on what kind of page they are. The homepage uses a different
template than the regular content pages. The contact page also uses a unique
template.
I was completely responsible for the backend and frontend coding and I'm
continuing to add new modules to the CMS. This project really solidified my
understand of PHP and has made it one of my favourite technologies to work with
along with Flash and ActionScript. It also gave me greater experience with
creating and organizing complex databases that need to store large amount of
varying kinds of information.
