Site Search Engine and Visiting statistics
|
|
|
| Hello CMS developer,
I am new to cms and currently reading the cms complete guide book. There are
many questions I have in mind would like to be answered.
1. Do i need to have two servers one for development and one for production?
or Can I just have one server does all? If i need two server, then do I need
two licenses CMS?
2.Can I use indexed server to index the site content for site search? Is
there any free site search tool I can use?
3. Is there any site visiting statistics tool available in CMS? If not, can
I implement my own in CMS pages?
4. when designing a template, can i have asp.net form within the template?
For example, add a Poll survey on the template and store the input in sql
table?
Sorry to ask so many questions at a time. Your help will be greatly
appreciated!!!
Thanks

| Hi Mindy,
this book you are using is not really focusing on beginners.
It is a collection of information that is useful if you are already a MCMS
expert.
For a beginner I would recommend the following book:
http://tinyurl.com/6zj44
To your questions:
1) usually you would want to do development on a separate server to do the
testing offline.
You don't have to use 2 MCMS licenses as the MCMS developer edition is
included in the MSDN Universal license which also includes all the other
software required for a development environment (Windows XP, VS.NET, SQL
Server).
2) no index server does not work as index server can only index file content
and not http content. If you are looking for a cheap solution and if your
site does not have more than 5000 items use Coveo. They provide a free
search engine for up to 5000 items:
http://www.coveo.com/en/enterprise-...oduct-info.html
3) no MCMS does not provide something like this. I would suggest to
implement any 3rd party ASP.NET site visiting tool into your site.
Also check out this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/luke/articles/96476.aspx
4) yes that is possible.
Cheers,
Stefan

| Hi Mindy,
usually I would suggest to implement this using cascading style sheets.
You can define the same style twice - once with media=print and once with
media=screen.
Cheers,
Stefan

(printer friendly page)? One more question: does MCMS support multiple
websites?
I just order the Building website with MCMS book and hopeful I will be able

Thanks

| Hi Mindy,
sorry I don't have such samples. This question is more related to IE than to
MCMS
But have a look here:
