1. What is content management system A content management system (CMS)[1][2][3] is a computer program that allows publishing, editing and modifying content as well as maintenance from a central interface. Such systems of content management provide procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative environment.[4] These procedures can be manual steps or an automated cascade. The first content management system (CMS) was announced at the end of the 1990s. This CMS was designed to simplify the complex task of writing numerous versions of code and to make the website development process more flexible. CMS platforms allow users to centralize data editing, publishing and modification on a single back-end interface. CMS platforms are often used as blog software. 2. what is WCMS? The Web Content Management System (WCMS) is a content management system designed specifically for use on Florida Tech websites. This system is intended to service websites that reside on the Florida Tech domain which utilize of the University-standard template. Under certain circumstances, the WCMS may be used on other websites on the Florida Tech domain as well. 3. Capabiliaties of WCMS * Automated templates - Create standard output templates (usually HTML and XML) that can be automatically applied to new and existing content, allowing the appearance of all content to be changed from one central place. * Easily editable content - Once content is separated from the visual presentation of a site, it usually becomes much easier and quicker to edit and manipulate. Most WCMS software includes WYSIWYG editing tools allowing non-technical individuals to create and edit content. * Scalable feature sets - Most WCMS software includes plug-ins or modules that can be easily installed to extend an existing site's functionality. * Web standards upgrades - Active WCMS software usually receives regular updates that include new feature sets and keep the system up to current web standards.

* Workflow management - Workflow is the process of creating cycles of sequential and parallel tasks that must be accomplished in the CMS. For example, a content creator can submit a story, but it is not published until the copy editor cleans it up and the editor-in-chief approves it. * Delegation - Some CMS software allows for various user groups to have limited privileges over specific content on the website, spreading out the responsibility of content management. * Document management - CMS software may provide a means of managing the life cycle of a document from initial creation time, through revisions, publication, archive, and document destruction. * Content virtualization - CMS software may provide a means of allowing each user to work within a virtual copy of the entire Web site, document set, and/or code base. This enables changes to multiple interdependent resources to be viewed and/or executed in-context prior to submission. 4. Types of WCMS
There are three major types of WCMS:

1.Offline Processing- These systems pre-process all content, applying templates before publication to generate Web pages. Vignette CMS and Bricolage are examples of this type of system. Since pre-processing systems do not require a server to apply the templates at request time, they may also exist purely as design-time tools; Adobe Contribute is an example of this approach. 2. Online Processing- These systems apply templates on-demand. HTML may be generated when a user visits the page, or pulled from a cache. Hosted CMSs are provided by such SaaS developers as AspireCMS, Bravenet, UcoZ, Webs and Crownpeak. Some of the better known open source systems that produce pages on demand include Redaxscript, Concrete5, Mambo, Joomla!, Drupal, TYPO3, Zikula and Plone, etc. Hybrid Systems- Some systems combine the offline and online approaches. Some systems write out executable code (e.g. JSP, ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, or Perl pages) rather than just static HTML, so that the CMS itself does not need to be deployed on every Web server. Other hybrids, such as Blosxom, are capable of operating in either an online or offline mode.Visit http://www.myoptimind.com for more info.

5. Advantage and disadvatage 1. Publication of material on the website can be set to a particular date and time. So too can the automatic removal of a given piece of content be set to a specific date and time. 2. This is useful for the publication of time-sensitive announcements such as product releases, press releases, employment opportunities and so on. 3. Image and other media are controlled automatically. No more fiddling with image sizes and formats. No more waiting for your business partner's nephew Vinnie to come back from vacation and make the necessary change to HTML for you. 4. Links inside the website are adjusted automatically when a page is removed. Links to a page that were created automatically are automatically removed when the page is removed. 5. Usually, the entire WCMS program can be access via a browser user interface. You don't need to install a program on your PC. This means that you can add and maintain content from any computer that has a browser installed and access to the Internet. 6. Your website will have a consistent look-and-feel across all pages, images, fonts and styles. Say goodbye to web pages that look like ransom notes. 7. The content is stored separately from the style of the website. The style can be changed at the click of a button, without the need to realign all of its content, and the WCMS rebuilds all of the pages with the new style. This means that you can give your website a complete refresh without investing in reworking the content. 8. Some WCMS systems built web pages that are optimized for search engines. The WCMS system used on this website is called Big Medium, and produces immaculate HTML code, very easily read and indexed by search engines. 9. Different access can be given to different contributors to the website. A good WCMS might have Administrators, Webmasters, Designers and Writers. A Webmaster might be allowed to add a complete new section to the website or perhaps swap out the logo with a new one. A Writer might only be able to add content a page at a time. 6. What is joomla Joomla is an open source content management system that allows you to build web sites and powerful online applications. This award-winning web site software contains easy-to-use features and it is freely available to everyone.

Joomla is written in PHP for managing content on the web and uses a MySQL database to store content. Joomla! is released under the GNU General Public License. 7. Template components of joomla /templates /JS_Smoothportal /JS_Synergy

/JS_Smoothportal templateDetails.xml index.php

These two filenames and location must be matched exactly as this is how they are called by the Joomla core script. templateDetails.xml (note the uppercase "D") An XML format metadata file that tells Joomla! what other files are needed when loading a web page that uses this template. It also details the author, copyright and what files make up the template (including any images used). The last use of this file is for installing a template when using the admin backend. index.php This file is the most important. It lays out the site and tells the joomla CMS where to put the different components and modules. It is a combination of PHP and (X)HTML. In almost all templates, additional files are used. It is conventional (although not required by the core) to name and locate them as shown below: /JS_Smoothportal template_thumbnail.png /css template_css.css /images logo.png template_thumbnail.png A web Browser screenshot of the template (usually reduced to around 140 pixels wide and 90 pixels high). After the template has been installed, this functions as a "Preview image" visible in the Joomla! administration Template Manager. css/template_css.css The CSS of the template. The folder location is optional, but you have to specify where it is. Note that the file name is only important in that its referenced in index.php. You could call it what you like. Usually the name shown is used, but we will see later that there are advantages in having other css files too. images/logo.png Any images that go with the template. Again for organization reasons, most designers put this in an images folder. Here we have a image file called logo.png as an example. To add the template (again, copious tutorials exist) you go to the admin portion of your site and install the template by uploading the zip file. Note you can actually

add the files individually (not in a zip) too. You have to put them in yoursite.com/templates.

8. Joomla Extension ZT AutoContent is a joomla extension which can automatically fetch full text from multiple RSS feeds, HTML page contents and insert to joomla article (including K2 CKK).
