I just installed DotNetNuke expecting to have a CMS like the ones many people generally use, Wordpress, among others, but now I can't find what to do. It shows me a screen with options that take me to other places.
Can someone please tell me what to do to have a CMS with the DotNetNuke that I have installed, or if that platform is to create the CMS somewhere else, which is not what I wanted to do?
Thanks.
There are a lot of videos and documentation about DNN. Examples:
DNN Docs
DNN Tutorial for Beginners Part 1 - Learn how to install DNN

Just use Google... and the DNN Community Website to ask questions in the forum, read the blogs, see the tutorials etc. The community is always helpful.

So a few months ago I was browsing Google blogs for some filler content in my RSS reader. I don't recall any of the my searches but I did come across this unique website which interviewed all kinds of developers and their trades (some from Greasemonkey/firefox, artists, etc). The website interviewed them about their professions and then a detailed questionnaire about their tools, workflow and other task-solving methods. I've been trying to replicate my searches and prying my mind of what I was looking for or keywords that were used in the site but I have had no such luck. The website seemed pretty high-profile so I was wondering if any of you stackoverflowians might be visitors to this site or know what I am referring to.
Thanks if you can help!
Was it usesthis.com ? Sounds like it.
Web Programming HTML has several versions, however there is little reason for the novice to learn anything but the latest edition. Once you have mastered the basics of html, you may want to venture into some other web coding languages.
I have got a project from a model who wants to build a site similar to oprah.com
I went through oprah.com and tried to find the CMS it is using but failed miserably. Does anyone has any ideas?
Moreover, which Joomla! components can be used to mimic the Oprah's site?
This is a custom built site, which was built ofver several years. I do not know about the CMS, but it does use J2EE, Oracle DBMS and Autonomy’s IDOL search and personalization engine and Jive’s Clearspace collaboration software for discussion forums and blogs. I would predict therefore that the CMS is either bespoke or another paid for CMS solution. I agree with pharalia - it is definately not an php-based open-source product such as Wordpress or Joomla
You could easily replicate this look in Joomla, or Wordpress or Drupal for that matter. Since I know Joomla best and you asked, I would use K2 with a couple of different display modules for a site like this. RokStories and RokTabs come to mind but there are all kinds of K2 compatible modules out there now.
That said, I'm not sure I would want to replicate a site this old. It makes some really basic mistakes that Oprah might be able to get away with, but someone with less star power is going to have problems.
Does anyone know what tumblr is written in? I have been trying to figure it out.
It's PHP...
http://www.marco.org/55384019
spiteshow:
I wonder if the Tumblr guys are using a framework or if it is all home brew.
Both: it’s a homebrew framework to add MVC structure and a useful secondary function library to PHP 5 that we started in 2006 and have constantly evolved into a very finely tuned framework for our needs. The same framework runs some of Davidville’s former consulting-client sites as well as all of my personal sites and projects. It’s not available publicly anywhere, but we may release it in the future.
The lead developer's blog features a lot of PHP-related material, and Tumblr was advertising for PHP developers a while ago. This isn't strong evidence, but it's possibly indicative and it's the best I could find.
Here's the full stack as of 2013.
"We're a LAMP based stack (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) with Scala for our many services. Other pieces of tech we use currently in production are Memcached, Varnish and Redis."

I just logged in to my account and added the index.php and it worked, so it must be php.

I'd like to start using a CMS. I've been building static XHTML/CSS pages for awhile, but want to get with the times.
I'm PHP illiterate as of yet, so ease of templating and availability of (free) modules are important factors.
From what I've been reading, SilverStripe or MODx sound like good candidates. What do you think?
Take 1 WordPress a day for 7 days.
Wordpress is a great choice(if not the best) if you want a blog.
For anything else i would suggest Joomla. Its one of the most widely used content management systems out there so there is tons of documentation and people who will gladly assist you. Its open source, which means its free. Easy to use, customise and extend. There are thousands of extensions(plugins) for it.
Templates (the sites skin(design)) are extremly easy to build, almost no skills in php are nessesary.
Take a peak at it at http://joomla.org
There is a great wiki with everything you need to get started at http://docs.joomla.org/
I'm looking for [preferably free] software that's designed to support Parent Teacher Association websites. CMS seem like the right place to start. I'm sure many of them could be customized to support our needs (member registration, forums, document sharing, photos, bulk emailing, online payment processing) but I'm wondering if there are any specialized PTA software packages already out there?
Drupal is always a good first bet, with modules for everything you've just described. You can also take a look at Joomla. Some say they find Joomla easier to manage.
Drupal is very common and there are lots of options for hosting. Depending on how elaborate you want to get, it's easy to hire someone to set it up for you as well.
You have couple of options:
Drupal
Joomla
