The Pacer Online Edition is a PHP, data-driven web site
built with both the reader and editor in mind. For the
reader, the articles and media that they are looking for
are only a click away. For the editor, a user friendly
interface to help them do what they do best - deliver
the news and information that UTM needs.
A great deal goes on behind the scenes to bring the Online
Edition to you each week. However, none of it has to do
with complex programming thanks to a comprehensive content
management system, just called "Content Manager"
for the sake of simplicity.
Editors can spend more time working on that Pulitzer Prize
winning report on the physics of shopping carts or the
intricacies of Saturday Night Live skits rather than learning
HTML.
Both the front and management side of the web site were
built using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, with the PHAkt
2.1.2 PHP server model. The backend database and content
pages are housed on a Solaris UNIX system, running MySQL.
Why develop in house? Because we felt that our site could
be unique enough to demand a hands on approach non-existant
in the private sector. In addition, we saved a bundle.
If you would like a copy of this application suite, just
drop us an e-mail.
We have not packaged the entire site at the moment, but
since it is subject to constant change, it is not practical
anyway. Make sure you read and understand the GPL
license before requesting the source file. |
