Opencms6.0 newbie-Introduction

Introduction opencms is a powerful open-source content management system. Article You should also know that, behind its powerful power, opencms is also relatively complicated and difficult to get started, and there are few relevant documents and documents suitable for the author, I am sure you know that the lack of information, a considerable number of beginners who have not answered questions in the Forum, and the official email list disappoint me. This is also the reason for this article.
The first question is why opencms is used or not used. It is hard to find the answer. Opencms should focus on the website content management of "organizations", with many static pages and related static texts. It allows you to manage text and structured content without coding, such as downloads, information lists, and link lists. Opencms is not a blog, forum, or discussion board CMS system. Unless you develop these functions yourself or install additional modules to expand these functions, however, some other CMS systems have these features, which are simple and easy to use. If you want them again, we recommend that you change the CMS (opencms has a strong extension mechanism. These functions can be obtained through secondary development, and some molding modules can be downloaded on the Internet ). The template mechanism of opencms also makes opencms abnormal and powerful, which comes from flexible template settings. When the Apache lenya project enables you to easily create a navigation project, you have to use some JSP Code To create a dynamic menu, but at the end, you can create some flexible and powerful templates to make your website quite flexible (this is also normal, ). Another advantage or disadvantage of opencms is that all configurations and JSP code are implemented through a Web interface. The advantage of this is that you can conveniently manage them on any client, the disadvantages of doing so are revealed, because we have long abandoned encoding using something similar to notepad, and returning to this encoding method is a nightmare. (But Fortunately, people who are unwilling to return to this nightmare have developed the opencms VFS Eclipse plug-in, through which you can easily develop your opencms JSP in eclipse :), this blog also has the use of this plug-in, see: http://blog.csdn.net/qianxuncms/archive/2007/03/20/1535700.aspx) OK, this after these introduction, if you are planning to use opencms, let's start with "installation". Please refer to the next "installation "......
