Below I post the latest world exclusive caftan interview, which I have done a few minutes ago in my apartment with me. I sit relaxed on my Kramfors sofa, while I write these lines - of airs and graces no trace. So casual and grounded I did not imagine caftan the famous web designer, but I am pleasantly surprised. And off you go:
Gerrit van Aaken: Why are there so many wines? The sentiment I stole from Adrian caftan Frutiger, but it fits not just on fonts. But it's true: Sometimes diversity is good and up to the date on which there is the perfect, free, safe and fast CMS, I can live with different systems. But I'll tell you right away that this time will never come.
(Smiles amused) Well, not in all cases, you have the choice: Often the customer caftan brings an enthusiasm for WordPress that I do not want to talk him out, because if someone is already familiar with a CMS, you should take advantage of this situation. This saves the training and one or the other Erklärungsnot, for example, if one's own favorite CMS has a worse picture gallery caftan function as WordPress.
However, if I have the choice, several factors must be clarified in advance. One should know what the customer actually intends caftan exactly with his website. caftan The most important thing is always the assessment as to how much the customer is lying when he claims that he wants to maintain the content themselves. (Grins broadly) Most customers lie to there in the first line itself and summarize the site after the launch de facto no longer. That's caftan a pity, but important to know when choosing the CMS. Because then you better buy one that is developer-friendly as MOD x or Drupal. Is it credible to assume that much is being maintained, and that it can be operated by laymen must TypoLight can not hurt, for example ...
Gerrit van Aaken: That may be, but thanks to the excellent-made website and send the demo videos I can make a good picture of the system. I like the uncluttered backend and the amateur-friendly operation. And the longer I think about it, the better I like the paradigm with the articles and pages.
Happy. Many CMS e work on the principle: 1 edit mask for one static page. But TypoLight shares a side addition in the different caftan sections, the "articles" are mentioned, which is a rare crazy name. Articles can be of different types: In addition to "text section" caftan for example, "Gallery" or "image and text construct." I thought that was a long time too cumbersome to maintain. But if you have to build network performances with complicated contents, it can be helpful. After all, not every customer will find it great if he one yard long TextArea finds when editing a page in which all the different sections must be inserted.
Funnily enough, there is a clever caftan module called "panels" that would address this "A-side is-from-multiple-sections" caftan paradigm and quite elegant reacted also with Drupal.
Yeah sure, but TypoLight is great. But the more it rotates around iterative, data-flow-like content, the more offers Drupal. Whenever the hierarchical representation stands in the background and you have to lift flexible collections of large data collections, CCK and Views are used as the main Drupal modules into play. Using CCK (Content Construction Kit, note) can be screwed together arbitrary content types, which then lie flat in the Drupal database. Using views can then be clicked together the funkiest queries to create any kind of data lists that you need. Catalog-like structures, caftan blogs, member directories - it's all Drupal home game!
Is it too. Drupal is perhaps caftan the CMS with the most stringent concept, because the basis of the data storage is so incredibly shallow and simplistic. That's an insane flexibility, but you can only use it when you install large amounts of modules. (Speaks quickly and is slightly red) And since it is somewhat confusing, because caftan d
