phphwcms tutorial site? (by user contribution)

pSouper · Post by **pSouper** » Sun 4. Jan 2004, 12:26

While trying to teach myself how to use phpwcms I was thinking..
I wish there was a site where users could create thier own tutorials demonstrating all aspects of phpwcms ans it's uses.

my initial idea (feedback requested) is to have a list of all the individual areas of phpwcms with articles on how to use them and a few demontration articles that show uses for that area.

the reason for this? so that we all may include a section in our sites that teach the contributers to our personal sites the 'how to' and 'why to'.
this way we all get to learn the best approaches to creating a phpwcms powered site as well as an understand of the tools at our disposal.

I realise Oliver as with us all are far too busy to create a comprehensive tutorial any time soon but with an army of guys all working on individual sections we should able to come up with some thing good.

any one interested in working on this please post here and we shall work our a gameplan.

sound as a good idea but I´m not sure that my english skills is good enough :S

if any tutorials are in poor english, unclear in it's meaning or incorrect then this would be corrected by another user hopefully..

I would also hope that any tutorial in any laguage would be most welcome as I would hope the tutorial site would be replicated/translated in to most major languages by us users

I think a new feature would be needed that sits along side 'private' & 'public' should be 'open' that would allow loged in person alter, amend and change a file/article ect.

Should I setup a WIKI for this?

I am on - was thinking the same... This could even be used as FAQ, as I am sure that within some weeks the number of phpwcms-Users will increase dramatically and nobody likes to answer the same questions again and again...

I started loving this project...

what is a WIKI oliver?

accactly what you descripe

.... http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki

that sound just the ticket

but with the open source as a checkbox so that only the creator and the admin can select this option, as with private / public and visible.
this way only some areas of the overall site are 'open' to anyone.

how possible/ likely does this sound?

Hi Oliver, i would use phpMyFAQ. i think there user can write articles. it is easy you only had to check the truth of the content.

I will try also phpWiki - looks good. I think this is better for documentation than phpMyFAQ. Btu best would be to have it in phpwcms itself.

Maybe something like Atutor can be used.

We should keep it simple Bijan

. Seems to be a very complex script.
