Does the client need to install Contribute to edit their website?

I have recently started out in the website design world (feeling VERY much like Alice!), and am trying to get my head around CMS.
Starting to explore Contribute/Joomla/Wordpress and although I  understand the manipulating templates/coding part of things, how does  the CMS process work?
As in, at which point do you, the developer/designer, put into use Contribute, or Joomla etc for the client, and then how does the customer use it? Do they have to install Contribute at their end?
I am about to start a website for a client with a face-painting business who wants a simple 3-page  site (home, gallery, contact), and wants to be able to update the gallery page. How do I start  with Contribute or Joomla? I have tried to wade  through the mountains of info I found online, but can't seem to find the BEGINNING!
Thanks in anticipation!

Hey Magda,
I use Joomla myself, and about 2 years ago I felt the same way you do. I didn't understand how the CMS part of web design works. I do not know how Contributor works, but I know that in Joomla anyone can sign into an administrative "backend" where you can log in right in the web browser and edit articles and information.
So basically (in Joomla) if your website is www.genericexample.com, you would go to your web browser and type in www.genericexample.com/administrator. This will bring you to a login form, and after you log in you will be at an interface where you can edit your website content without even touching HTML or CSS. It's all WYSIWYG (but it does let you directly edit the HTML and CSS if that is what you want to do).
In Joomla you can add users and give them passwords so that your clients can update their website after you have completed it and moved on.
The interface is very simple to use.
Kind regards,
Tim

  • Help !!! why does the client need to specify codebase

    Anyone,
    I'm trying out a dynamic class loading tutorial.
    my question is why does the client need to define
    java.rmi.server.codebase.
    I can understand why the server needs it, as it is downloading classes
    it does not have information about. But why does the client need to specify the codebase

    Lets say you have a Remote interface with a method:
    void compute(Task task);
    Now, the clients of this remote interface want supply
    a zillion of custom tasks to be executed on the
    server, but how the hell the server knows where to get
    the actual classes for those tasks?You fool. its for the server to hand the client the reference to a stub, or to specify FOR the client where the stubs are, so that the CLIENT can get a reference to them, to make the call.
    This is where the
    client codebase comes to the scene. Client codebase......you mean codebase info that is sent TO the client, so it can find the classes.
    A client annotates
    it and it gets written to the manifest part of any
    serializable object (Task implentation) being passed
    over then net so the server could find and download
    the actual class of the object.
    Rubbish.
    I hope I made myself clear. as mud.
    You might want to check
    out this link also:
    http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/rmi/cod
    base.htmlI read this and i still dont see anything about CLIENT codebase. I see stuff about codebase, and the server trying to make the client aware of where it can get the relevant classes.
    What a fool you are. Dont bother replying. I have had enough of your autocratic rubbish.

    I can understand why the server needs it, as it is downloading classes

    The client has to annotate the codebase property if it is calling remote methods with parameters, whose subtypes are not defined in the server. This way server has a change to dynamically locate and load those classes from specified codebase.

  • Does my client need to have Adobe Story to review my script?

    In one of the Adobe video's, Paul Trani shows how we can share a script.  I can only presume that whoever gets the script, must have Adobe Story installed to be able to review the script. What does my client need to be able to review my script.
    Thanks,
    Kuhnen

    Partially, yes. When you share your script with your client, he/she can access it in Adobe Story. But for that installation is not necessary, he/ she can access it through the web application (https://story.adobe.com). What your client requires is - an account with Adobe Story and an internet connection.
    You can also export your script in one of the formats available and send it across.
    Hope it helps

  • What does the DBA need to do to grant privileges so I can CREATE DIRECTORY

    Hello,
    What does the DBA need to do in order to grant privileges to:
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY douglas_my_files as 'C:\Documents and Settings';
    This is what SQL Navigator says:
    [1]: (Error): ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    Thanks
    Doug

    Also, note that a directory object can only point to a directory on the database server, not on your client machine... Unless you have your own My Documents folder on the database, which would be a tad unusual, this probably won't work regardless of the permissions your DBA gives you.

  • How much info about the cache-cluster does the client have and What would you recommend about putting the cluster behind virtual ip

    Hi,
    I will appreciate if someone can point me to some documentation as to how app-fabric client library accesses the app-fabric cluster.
    What I have found so far is that the list of hosts provided in the client configuration are used as an entry point into the Cache-Cluster. By connecting to one of hosts, the client will download information about all the hosts constituting the cluster.
    Since a named cache is distributed across the entire cluster, and the data can be stored on any node. How does the client decide which node it should connect to, to get the data from. Does the client have enough information to know which host has the data
    or the client will connect to one of the nodes, if the node has data, it will serve it otherwise redirect the client to the node that has the data.
    I also would like to know what do you say about the idea that we would like to put our cache-cluster behind a virtual ip, so that if needed, we can take down nodes or add more nodes. In fact the virtual ip will that of a load balancer, but we don't plan to
    use it for load balancing purposes but the idea is that the client will have the virtual ip address and we can repoint this IP address, if we need to take out a node for maintenance reason. 

    I'm not sure about the reason for putting the cache servers in a VIP, but one of the reasons why the cache servers should be made known to the servers is because of auto load balancing and throughput
    Imagine i have 10 cache servers running on 1G ethernet links, theoretically i have 10G usable bandwidth and the clients will be able to manage and load balance if any of the cache server fails or have performance issues
    Now if all these were parked behind a VIP
    1. The LB now does the load balancing, which may not be optimal
    2. The LB may not have 10G upstream and 10G downstream, even if it has, this is quite a waste of resource\

    Hi,
    If you want to restore a reomoved app,you need to use
    Add-AppxPackage to add a signed app package (.appx) to a user account.
    But we cannot extract them from the ISO.
    The behavior is by design.And this is a software protection regime.

  • Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

    Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.

    My apologies, I read your post the wrong way. I see now that the original poster was confused about the specs and you were simply responding with the appropriate info.
    I've gotten defensive after reading the forums. The forums are full of posters just looking to prove someone wrong or stupid, rather than being helpful. I shouldn't have assumed you were one of those people. Sorry.
    I did my homework and discovered that my PowerPC will run Leopard. It can be purchased for $129 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. This is much cheaper than replacing my laptop.
    I hope to upgrade my Mac soon, though! Can't believe this thing is still ticking. I love Apple.

  • Does the DOA need to be an session bean as well?

    Hi there,
    I been working in this problem for days, I am a bit confuse, I have created a session bean which contains biz logic and EAO layer,
    I understand that we can get the persistence in EJB with @PersistenceContext private EntityManager em;
    Correct me if I am wrong I am a bit sceptical to use the em in the session bean. (there been lot of arguments stated that we need to ditch the DAO)
    BUT, still I would want use EntityManager in the EAO layer because of the mobility of the DAO layer in the future.
    So I have implemented DAO design pattern at below but is not working, is giving me:
    Unable to get an Entity Manager Instance
    javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No object bound to name java:comp/env/persistence/em
    I am so confuse, does the DAO need to be a session bean as well?
    Edited by: lizaliz on Aug 13, 2009 8:15 AM

    Using the EM in a session bean is one of the preferred ways of manageing persistence. Take a look at *'Pro EJB 3'* by Mike Keith and Merrick Schincariol. Extracts are avialable on google books - they give a good overview of using this approach.
    It is a bit weird initially as with EJB 2 you had your session beans (business tier) and your entity beans for the data tier so using a session bean seemed to conflict with what was recognised. And besides if you want to inject a Persistence Context or Factory you need to do it in a managed class - like an EJB!

  • Does the controlfile need to be multiplexed in ASM?

    OS=Linux 5
    Oracle=11gR2 RAC with ASM
    We have two diskgroup (DATA, FRA), each with 6 disks. The controlfile currently resides on the DATA diskgroup. My question is, does the controlfile need to be multiplex to FRA diskgroup in case of a diskgroup failer? Typically if the database is using filesystem for storage, i would multiplex the controlfiles to 3 different filesystems.

    Hi,
    This thread already been answered but I'll leave a little touch.
    Some time ago we used OS filesystem to store database and we placed a part of the database at each mount point (like /u01, /u02, /u03 and so on).So, we also multiplexed control file to due flexibility of recover a controlfile if any error occurs on one theses mount points.
    But with ASM generally the whole database is placed on Diskgroup DATA  and controlfile on DATA and FRA  and if you lose your diskgroup DATA and this will not change anything in relation to high availability, because you will need to restore database to bring database up. So, If you have backup of database of course you also have backup of controlfile.
    About multiplexing de REDO in other Diskgroup can make all difference. If you lose diskgroup +DATA and you have your archivelog and redo online avaliable on other diskgroup you will have a minimun or none lost of data.
    I don't like multiplex controlfile on FRA, because any maintenance that involves diskgroup that have controlfile stored will cause downtime of database. So, when I multiplex controlfile I choose diskgroup that have datafiles only of that database.
    Redo and Archivelog we can change they of diskgroup without downtime of database.
    As FRA is a Diskgroup used to store backup and Archivelog can be exausted and it can cause downtime on database. (We must not forget we can control it)
    Other point:
    In some env I have seen DBAs configuring Normal Redundancy to Diskgroup (e.g DATA) that store database and External Redundancy to Diskgroup FRA (e.g FRA) due purpose of that Diskgroup. By Default DBCA place controlfile on FRA, so If by any reason asmdisk from FRA fail, the whole database will down due controlfile on that diskgroup. This is a big mistake.
