Site Contents Manager (SCM - web site managing
software - SCM 3.1 ) belongs to Piet M. Hermans (PMH that’s me).
SCM was inspired on the idea that being computers so versatile it should be
possible to:
Work on the aesthetic aspect only once for all pages
Not need to write and rewrite links and then check everything again for
broken ones
Integrate new programmed modules in an easy manner.
Manage multiple languages in a coherent way
and that any site should have an easy to manage user interface, login, email
check, newsletter, search function, and so on, not having to put together
bits and pieces from here and there.
So
that is what SCM is about.
Most of the code has been written by myself, and some pieces of code I have
taken from open source freely available programs.
The PHP Manual (available
here) has been the fountain for scripting code.
I have also
used some code and ideas found in PHP-Nuke
(by Francisco
Burzi) - and some found in an ASP system called Safeworx - So this is an
acknowledgement to them.
All of the scripting is done in PHP, the current release is 5.3.2 There are here and there some bits and pieces of javascript, I just can't
recall where I got those from, but I can say for sure that I've seen similar
stuff all over the web so let us just thank the
Netscape folks for all of it.
All Data base operations are based on MySQL, though SCM also supports a text
based data access.
This software has been tested on the Apache server under Linux and Windows,
it must do fine on any system that supports PHP, in this particular case Apache.
