Transcript

00:07 the first section is going to be on kind of the CMS basics okay we're gonna go
00:13 over things like server requirements how does this seem us work like like how
00:19 does it what how does all this magic happen right okay I'm gonna kind of go on to the server and we will kind of
00:26 actively look at all of the files that is that are you know used in the CMS and
00:32 whatnot right so we're gonna go over a kind of some debugging you know admin
00:37 versus content sides things of that nature then then we'll take a break and
00:42 we're gonna have a next section will be on text because the CMS is a lot about
00:49 text right managing text so we're gonna talk about the ways we can we can edit
00:54 and manage text we're going to talk about how you can different ways you can save text to the CMS we're gonna have
01:01 how to use the macros right and how do you integrate with third-party plugins and things of that nature a lot of that
01:07 has to do with macros now after that that's probably when our our lunch break
01:14 is gonna happen our large are you know our longer lunch break now to be honest
01:19 like the text portion is is a lot right once you understand those first two set sections you can you can do a lot with
01:27 this CMS okay so I'm sure they're gonna be a lot of great questions during the lunch break okay the next section after
01:34 that is gonna be we're gonna go over images okay and that includes individual images in galleries okay and how to use
01:41 those and integrate those with some third-party stacks that support them and things of that nature okay um the next section we're gonna
01:48 kind of go over all the other miscellaneous CMS tax write ratings data
01:54 store video Depot's files date you know
02:00 all those kind of miscellaneous other stacks that I'm I'm betting no one here is used actually all of them right so
02:08 there's a lot of really great features in those in those stacks so we'll review a lot of those and at the end of the day
02:16 we're gonna be going over the big boy right we're gonna be going over blog and so in blog will blogs gonna be long
02:24 write blog is huge blog is powerful it
02:29 can be complex right but hopefully we're gonna go over all the ins and outs of implementing the blog okay I see a
02:43 couple questions when I answer a couple questions the video quality is blurred
02:49 who I am blurred okay so am i blurred
03:02 for okay everyone's just people are saying the quality is just fine for them I'm not not quite sure okay hopefully
03:12 it's just a temporary internet issue on your end or my end but okay so let's get
03:18 started let's go start going over the CMS basics and let me get some some
03:28 things start here on my desktop okay so
03:39 the CMS basics actually I guess first off let's go ahead and I can probably
03:46 just talk about these first few things the requirements for the server are
03:51 pretty simple right it's basically it requires PHP 5.6 or above that's pretty
03:58 much it right you can't run things on a Windows server
04:04 or in a pet or a Linux server it does work okay um I personally prefer Apache on Linux
04:11 running PHP 7 right that's my preferred configuration right now um 7.1 actually
04:18 is is released and I just think PHP 7 you're gonna see a large performance
04:25 increase with PHP 7 over PHP 5.6 ok
04:31 again it will work on 5.6 it will not work if you have five dot 5.29 or you
04:38 know anything before 5.6 parts of the CMS will not work and depending on what
04:46 you're doing it won't work at all right so PHP 5.6 is a requirement you need to
04:52 have it I recommend PHP 7 most hosts should support it now because even PHP 5 is
05:00 gonna be end-of-life within the next 12 months or so right so um you should
05:06 really be starting to look at getting PHP 7 up and running and working for your sites and just by upgrading the
05:13 version of PHP you'll see a really nice performance increase across your websites that use PHP just because it's
05:20 at least twice as fast I feel right the performance is just phenomenal without doing anything else
05:27 to my code write PHP 7 just runs faster and the CMAs relies heavily on PHP so
05:34 you know making sure that you know you have a nice performance server that runs is gonna be a lot better next off it you
05:45 can run told CMS on a shared server environment on a dedicated server on a VPS whatever um I myself prefer running
05:54 on the VPS shared servers just are well they're shared right so you're you're
06:00 running on the same server as thousands of other web sites right so most of the
06:07 time to get a VPS is not that much money um you know I have a VPS it cost me like
06:13 $100 a year right from dreamhost and if you guys want I dream host has
06:20 them chillydog hosting is another one that has them um if you're techie right
06:26 um all my sites run off digitalocean like I said I still have dream host but
06:31 server but I most of my sites run off digitalocean but that's really requirements that your
06:37 techie you have to set up all their server yourself so you have this you know shell into the server and set everything and install everything
06:43 yourself and it's not for 99% of the people out there
06:48 but anyway so that kind of deals with the server requirements I see a couple
06:54 questions let me see on if there's anything regarding servers okay someone
07:01 asks for about hard drives and obviously SSDs are kind of the way to go
07:09 most modern hosts nowadays will have SSDs instead of hard drives so definitely make sure that ok can I
07:18 suggest a company that has PHP 71 and Apache like I said I use DreamHost also
07:24 chillydog hosting who's a very friendly very high quality customer service host
07:30 there's also a Richard Hills Dhin which is actually here today has some amazing hosting services so especially for based
07:37 in the UK or whatnot it could make some great sense you know using his I've heard nothing but great things about him
07:43 as well in his company so so that's three suggestions well I guess for if
07:48 you want include digitalocean but like I said DreamHost chillydog and contact Richard Hills Dhin with techies
07:55 and they provide some great some great hosting solutions for us ok so how do we
08:05 get the CMS installed ok let's start let's start jumping into the actual CMS now and now today I'm not gonna be
08:14 building a fancy website ok today is not about building a beautiful-looking
08:19 website that's gonna shock in all you this is about learning the CMS ok so I'm
08:25 gonna be doing a bare-bones raw file we're gonna start with a clean slate and I need to share my screen let's do that
08:36 now ok um I'm just gonna create a new file we
08:43 are gonna start from scratch actually you know what I forgot to do earlier is
08:48 I forgot to clean out my my host oops
08:59 wrong password
09:05 okay so we got rapidweaver we are gonna do a new project okay we're gonna add a
09:13 new Stax page because you can build a rectory where say without Stax ok
09:21 hopefully everyone can see all these everything here properly I kind of
09:28 tested a few resolutions and I thought this resolution was a great middle ground between you guys seeing things
09:33 and that actually resolution being workable for me right so let me just do
09:41 one quick thing on my server move some things around
10:08 okay now I'm gonna log in to transmit so we can kind of get on to the server a little bit and yeah how do I close I
10:24 don't close the local browser in the new version I forget I don't need it view on
10:34 the browser cancel
10:51 Oh okay anyway here we are on my sandbox
10:56 site okay as you see here I just wanted to basically show you that we have a completely empty server right now okay
11:02 um it's completely empty it won't be like that for long though okay so here
11:09 we are on in rapidweaver and we need to make sure that we can start using the
11:15 CMS okay so I've already created a subfolder here
11:21 inside rapidweaver stacks right that contains all my CMS stacks now today
11:27 we're gonna be focusing just purely on total CMS okay these blue and white
11:32 icons are easy CMS that's our easy CMS solution that contains it actually has
11:38 all the functionality to total CMS but it's limited to text and images and video okay it also has a toggle stack
11:46 okay so you have within those you have all the same exact functionality now as
11:52 you do in total CMS it just tap you have less components to work with okay so
11:59 basically you know in this what we're gonna cover this morning is also all appliable to easy CMS they all work the
12:06 same um interesting fact is that the application for easy CMS in total CMS on
12:13 the back end is identical well yes and
12:19 no actually total CMS is a little bit more updated because that gets updated a little bit more frequently than Easi CMS does right now but in theory it is the
12:27 identical application so to get started
12:32 okay let's just go ahead and create actually let me create two files two
12:39 pages in my project to get started I'm gonna create a Content page okay and I'm
12:45 gonna create an admin page because there are two aspects to the CMS we have our
12:51 admin pages and our content pages that actually display that that stuff right
13:01 I've seen some people asking for a higher resolution sorry if you can go full screen on your machine or something
13:07 like that um working at a higher resolution than this or a lower resolution than this is would be kind of
13:14 hard to in rough to uh to work with I can't fit much on my screen at that point so hopefully you guys can follow
13:21 along and also like I said there will be um you know these are getting recorded
13:26 as well okay so start off with the CMS
13:32 we need to install what are called core stacks okay now there is an admin core
13:38 stack and a Content core stack so inside the stacks here we have you'll notice that there are two sets of stacks we
13:45 have total CMS content stacks which are kind of white with orange icons and then we have total CMS admin stacks okay that
13:53 are orange icons or orange you know icons with white on top okay so to kind
13:59 of differentiate them a lot of times the icons are the same right so the blog icon is the same as the blog icon down
14:05 here it's just the color scheme changes right so we're on the contents page right now so what I want to do is I want
14:12 to add a CMS core to the to the page okay and basically what the CMS course that does is it contains the actual CMS
14:22 application that needs to get installed on our server okay and then we're gonna
14:28 go ahead and create an admin page and add his oops add a admin CMS core stack there okay
14:35 now it actually doesn't matter you can create I'm gonna be actually be primarily working on the admin side
14:40 right now because that's what we're gonna be starting off with and getting things saved to the CMS okay
14:46 so what we're going to do is and actually I'm using foundation right now
14:52 so one tidbit information I want to share is that total CMS a lot of people
14:58 think that it requires foundation it does not you can use it in anything that you want um it does not require your
15:04 foundation it's just all my demo files are a lot of my demo files use foundation because well I I like it
15:11 right so um I'm gonna have site sales up there again not required but I'm going
15:17 to be building today's project using foundation like I said I'm gonna be building a very simple at simplistic
15:23 project project so I'm not gonna be doing anything too fancy because we're just going to be focusing on showing you
15:30 the CMS okay so the admin core what we're gonna do is now is now that I have
15:37 the core here okay I'm actually gonna install it on my server okay and to
15:42 install the Seamaster new server all we have to do is publish okay so this was a new project so I don't
15:49 have any servers here I'm just gonna add from bookmarks oops that's not work I
15:55 want to add from bookmark there we go and remove that one okay let's just do a
16:02 quick test to make sure it works and we're good okay so I've added my my
16:09 sandbox server and basically what I'm gonna do now is I'm going to publish oh I need a web dress Thank You rapidweaver
16:22 and we need to save it so I'm actually just gonna save this to my desktop
16:55 you I am getting a lot of people saying the
17:08 screen resolution is not good hold on
17:20 okay let me try something else guys let me try this
17:39 okay hey guys how is that is that better
17:50 okay awesome okay good to know um I guess before I was trying a
17:56 different method of sharing my screen and I guess it doesn't work too great so now we're gonna do it this way awesome
18:06 thank you very much glad to see er okay perfect
18:18 cool okay guys so sorry for that
18:25 hopefully what I did what I've done so far didn't really require you to read much on my screen right so here we are
18:33 I've created again I've created a content and an admin page I've published
18:38 to the server okay so let's go ahead and look at the server now okay so here we
18:46 are on my server okay yeah I really wish I could close this guy all right close
18:53 that
19:01 oh whatever okay so here on my server I
19:06 have our W common okay so here's all the files on the server that rapidweaver has
19:11 published right the CMS if you're curious is installed in our tub you come
19:17 in plugins stacks total CMS okay
19:22 now I'm not gonna review the files in here you don't ever need to know them but just if you're curious this is where
19:28 the CMS lives this is where all the magic happens okay this is where all
19:34 everything happens okay so that's where the CMS lives so we can verify that boom
19:39 and you know that's the CMS is installed now okay now another another way that we
19:45 could verify that things are set up on our server correctly is inside the total
19:52 CMS stacks there is a debug stack okay and what you can do is you can add this debug stack to the to your page and by
20:02 default it has a server check stack and if you go ahead and check that I should
20:17 should output some information for me oh you know what
20:27 I probably did so another thing now total CMS is licensed okay and you all
20:35 have your licenses for total CMS on this particular um I'm on juror crew net domain okay and I need to get a license
20:41 for that right I need to have it license because that domains been in use for longer than 30 days you do have 30 days
20:49 to try total CMS so what I need to do is I need to go ahead and get my license
20:56 key so please give me a few minutes here while I go off and get my license key
21:02 because I should have that prepared and I totally didn't even think about that it's kind of good actually you guys get
21:11 to see the real life problems okay
21:46 okay sorry about that so I'm gonna install the license here now if you if
21:52 this was the first time you were actually registering you hadn't registered your license what you do is you would click this little thumbs up
21:57 guy you'd preview your page and you'd get this total CMS registration box here
22:05 now you'd verify the domain that you want to register and then you make sure the serial is correct and you click
22:10 register that would register your domain there currently is a bug sometimes this
22:16 says failure even though it still works so if you have any questions about that
22:21 go ahead and shoot us an email and we'll verify pretty much every time it's failed it's it's all it's actually
22:27 worked so that's just a slight little bug I need to work out okay but it does work okay so next up not quite sure why
22:37 this debug thing I was just playing you can also in the debug stack put in the CMS log well actually go get back to
22:44 that in a little bit okay because we don't we haven't saved anything to see my set so there's no
22:50 logs to actually look at okay so another trick if you wanted to look this kind of
22:58 for for the power users if you want what I'm going to do right now is and this
23:04 screen resolutions too low okay here we go I'm gonna go to sandbox your Quinet now
23:11 if you go to RW Commons so if you go to
23:18 the total CMS directory and then go to the total debug PHP okay and you hit
23:23 enter on that what that will do is that will give you some debug information and kind of run some tests to make sure that total CMS can actually work on your
23:30 server okay so in this instance I'm running PHP seven okay and if it wasn't
23:37 running PHP seven it would actually have a read error um and there's other things like if particular directories it aren't
23:44 writable right so if we can't write to the CMS directory and things of that nature it'll tell you about those
23:49 permission issues and how potentially resolve them it'll tell you know the current version that you have
23:54 installed in your server this is the the latest version of total CMS a lot of times a common issue is if you update
24:03 the CMS like I update and ship an update to the stacks sometimes people will
24:09 solely republish pages okay but the problem is at that point if some
24:16 changes I make could actually affect the actual application on the server so a
24:22 lot of times if when a update comes out for the CMS tax you should republish all
24:27 files okay and the reason what that does is that that makes sure it publishes the latest version of the CMS application that is
24:35 also inside the stacks okay because if you just publish changes what happens is
24:41 sometimes rapidweaver won't publish the it won't detect that the actual CMAs application changed okay
24:48 it'll only it'll only publish the actual stack changes on the pages okay so
24:53 that's an important note to think about okay so what were you first is we're
25:00 gonna save something let's save something to the CMS I'm gonna go ahead and add a since we're gonna work with
25:07 text in a little bit I'm gonna add some text okay also if you notice I am actually gonna go ahead and change some
25:14 page names here so I'm just gonna do slash admin and we'll leave that as that
25:19 the admin bar I want to name slash admin instead of slash page right okay
25:25 now inside the tech stack what I want to make sure is I want to make sure that this CMS ID is set to something for
25:31 right now I'll just leave it as total CMS I'm okay with that let's just go ahead and now what's cool is with the
25:37 text you can actually save things directly oops with admin core after you register CMS
25:45 here's this something make sure you turn that off so that lightbox doesn't completely nag you every time you
25:50 preview cool go ahead and here now I'm
25:56 gonna go ahead and let's just save some text here I'm gonna go ahead and if you one thing to also notice inside
26:02 rapidweaver if you bear noticed it does not like show the cursor not 100% sure why it's something that I
26:09 haven't actually looked into further enough and to try to test out but if you
26:14 just start typing it will save okay um so now you'll notice that I typed in
26:21 something the box turned red with a red outline that means that that box has unsaved content what can we do how can I
26:28 save this okay um now I just hit command s and that actually triggered the save
26:34 okay but the total CMS does have a Save button that we can add to the page which
26:41 is called save now this save button can be added anywhere on the page okay or
26:47 inside that actually every single text you can also say show Save button here okay so just for right now I'm gonna use
26:55 that Save button for preview we should see okay so if you noticed here um when
27:04 I opened up this page and let me go ahead and add that's bugging me I know it's a little thing but this is bugging
27:09 me I like three room padding okay much
27:16 better okay so if you notice I preview this page and what it's done is it's actually retrieved the active text in
27:24 the CMS okay that means we actually have text saved in the CMS now what does that
27:30 look like okay let's go ahead and have a look let me go ahead and open transmit
27:37 again oh I closed it by accident last time okay so if we notice in here now
27:45 something I should note is I I added this stack to the page but I have not
27:51 actually published this yet okay which is carrying because what that means is
27:56 you can actually start building out your admin pages and saving stuff to the CMS without ever publishing your rapidweaver
28:03 file okay which is really cool so here I have if we notice we have a new folder
28:10 created here called CMS data now inside CMS data this is a very
28:16 important director this is where everything inside total CMS is saved okay now throughout the day
28:23 we'll kind of revisit this directory as we save new things okay but you'll notice that there here there is a folder
28:31 called text and inside that text folder is a is a file called total CMS CMS okay
28:38 now you might wonder what is the contents of this file clicking is really
28:43 weird when I'm sharing the screen this way so this file if we just want to
28:50 simply open it okay it contains some HTML that is test text
28:58 okay now I'm not going to dive into the different like the differences of how to
29:03 save text right now but I just want to show you that that's exactly where that content is stored okay and if you notice
29:11 that total CMS CMS okay is the Simas ID that we saved here so we're currently
29:19 saving text since it was in that text subfolder and then inside there it saved
29:24 it in a file called total CMS CMS now if I were to change this to you know
29:30 workshop okay if we go ahead and preview this page a we'll notice that it's
29:38 currently blank okay because workshop doesn't have anything assigned to it right so I'm gonna type
29:44 in hello there everyone I'm gonna click
29:49 Save we get our little green tick here down here saying that it that's how we
29:55 know it worked okay so let's go ahead and refresh this and we'll notice that
30:01 inside text we now have a workshop CMS okay and that will contain the actual contents of what we saved okay hopefully
30:10 that makes sense so as you saw here this
30:15 is a very simplistic solution but this is right like we got our CMS working
30:20 right we all we did is add a couple stacks to the page publish save some text and everything is working
30:27 beautifully now you might be wondering how do how
30:34 does kind of everything work right um basically if you notice here okay um
30:41 dynamically when I preview it's going to let's go ahead and preview in a browser
30:47 so I just hit command P I'm gonna preview this local rapidweaver file okay and as you notice what it did is on the
30:54 fly it queried the CMS got the text that was in the CMS and then displayed it
30:59 here for you okay now another thing that
31:04 you might have noticed inside the CMS is a folder called backups okay so what I'm
31:12 gonna do now is actually I'm gonna go ahead and change this so instead of hello there everyone I'm gonna say today
31:17 is going to be amazing and I'm gonna go
31:23 ahead and save that okay what we'll
31:28 notice here is if we go to text and look at that workshop and let's go ahead and
31:33 open that we'll see that it says today is going to be amazing which is what we
31:38 would have expected it to have okay but if we go to the backups folder and go to text and then go you'll notice that
31:45 inside here it has a folder for each CMS ID and if you look further into there
31:52 you'll notice that there is date and time stamps for everything that was saved for this particular thing right so
31:59 if I open up both of these we'll see that this one says today is going to be
32:05 amazing that's our latest version of the file okay and this one says hello there everyone so this is a great way to save
32:13 and potentially revert to an old version of some text that was on a web site
32:24 now another folder here that's inside another file I should say that's inside CMAs data is a file called CMS dot log
32:31 ok this is a very important file ok it
32:38 what it contains is all of the information that happens within the CMS
32:45 so everything that saved if there's any errors with saving data ok this CMS log
32:53 is where you need to look right so if you're curious if your customer what your customer is doing or something like
32:59 that it logs all of the information here into the into the CMS log you will see here
33:04 all those three instances of a saving information to the CMS again if you're
33:09 having some issues this is a great place to look for errors to give us some clues
33:15 about what could be going on with the CMS
33:32 okay so now what we're gonna do is um I
33:38 quickly briefly showed you how we knew that we needed a Content side and an
33:44 admin side okay before I jump into adding some content stacks I don't just want to quickly review some questions
33:51 here and see if there's any open questions that kind of need to be answered
34:05 actually everyone why don't we take a quick five-minute break so we'll come back at the top of the hour and I will
34:11 answer all the questions and then we'll jump into the text okay and saving text and displaying text okay let's look at
34:21 some of these questions
34:30 bunch on the video let's get past all the video ones I think we resolved that the video should be fine for everybody
34:36 correct it's it's been great for the pasta 10-15 minutes high resolution
34:53 resolution when ready shouldn't CMS on a sub-domain will still work on the parent domain - yeah
34:59 so total CMS is 100% licensed on a don't
35:08 on a domain basis so in that example when I registered it said sandbox RJ
35:15 we're not net no matter if you put in a sub domain or the root domain there you
35:20 are licensed on the actual parent domain so the license will work on the root
35:28 domain as well as any other sub domain okay so when you purchase a total CMS license it is good for again the root
35:38 domain as well as all sub domains for that root domain okay
35:51 can you get away with FTP in the RW common folder if there is a t CMS update
35:57 um yeah I guess you could you'd have to export your site locally right and then
36:03 use FTP to you know you could do that yeah um there are some users that that
36:09 actually don't even use the publishing abilities in rapid Eber what they do is
36:15 they export it to a folder and then they use something like transmit to actually the synchronization features in transmit
36:21 and other FTP apps right to go ahead and transfer all of that oops how do you
36:37 disable one domain removed okay so if you want to the question is how do you
36:42 disable a domain and move your license to another domain right now the only way to do that is to email us and we'll help
36:49 you out with that basically what we'll do is I'll you email us we'll deregister a domain and then you can register it on whatever
36:56 domain you want I so hopefully eventually I would lie plan on building a utility that lets people
37:02 kind of do that on their own so if they want to unregister a domain they can but
37:08 right now I'm just email us and then we'll de registro domain and then you can go ahead and take that license and
37:14 register it and repurpose it for whatever don't other domain you want okay
37:22 oh thanks Rob how long are the backups kept so the backups I kind of really
37:28 went through those really quick I'm sorry about that I had to take a quick break the backups there are 10 backup
37:36 saved for every component ok so even images if you uploaded a new image and
37:42 replace one ok that image will be you
37:48 know you'll have ten versions of that image saved now if someone goes and you know click save save save save save save
37:55 on a CMS area then you know it's just gonna override eventually after ten is
38:00 going to override that back the backups um I originally planned to
38:07 have like kind of a restore from backup feature built into the admin area I would still like to do that I think it'd
38:13 be a really cool feature um so that's something that might come in the future but it is good to know for you guys that
38:19 um if you do change something in the CMS you're like oh shoot I messed up I need to you know get yesterday's or the day
38:26 before or whatever just have a look in that backup directory and that should
38:31 should be golden okay I should note though the backup
38:37 directory in the CMS data folder is not a replacement for backing up your server
38:42 okay because if you have some sort of
38:47 catastrophic data loss right you you might want to make sure that that CMAs data folder gets backed up okay whether
38:55 or not your host supports backups or whether or not it's you you know using
39:00 transmit to download it from your server you know transmit actually has some
39:05 Automator actions that you can use to automatically connect and download a particular file on automatically right
39:12 so that's kind of cool so yeah make sure that you understand that that backups
39:18 feature is to help you you know look for old restored versions of things that are still there but it's not it's not a
39:25 replacement for backing up your CMS data folder okay and once you delete that CMS
39:31 data folder it's gone there is no database in total CMS that Seamas data folder is the database okay it is a
39:38 database of text files and images that is what total CMS is okay that is what
39:44 is amazing about it and kind of what I think sets it apart from other things it
39:49 makes it a very simplistic solution that works really well and fast
40:01 günther you said you cannot save in that case maybe during the the lunchtime hangout we can talk through that okay
40:07 there could be so many things going on maybe after I'm done answering these
40:13 questions I can kind of jump into this is a great opportunity to look at debugging and help debugging things okay
40:20 so I'll have another look at that so we can we can test that out with you okay definitely you know one thing you could
40:26 do is check out that that total debug and I will type that in the chat room actually right now if I can find the
40:34 chat room there it is okay I'm typing this into the chat room
40:42 right now so that is the if you just want to now you could throw that debug stack to the page and it should display
40:49 the the debug information not quite sure why it wasn't in this project but it it
40:56 should display that debug information on the page and or but another thing you do
41:01 is just you know load that URL into the browser and you'll kind of have a quick check maybe your PHP version is out of
41:08 date and things of that nature right was
41:17 there a link to C so yeah the the link to the debug here I just put the path to that in the chat room so everyone can
41:23 get that again that goes to the end of your URL right so I was publishing to the sandbox jørgen net then it's part of
41:30 you common plugin sax told CMS told debug dot PHP okay now if you're publishing to a subfolder right so if I
41:37 were publishing to sandbox trove not net slash workshop then it would be slash workshop slash are to be Commons /
41:43 ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba right okay hopefully that makes sense
42:03 so I'm just reading some of these other questions or some duplicates in here
42:12 Dominic so you can you ask can you have several instances on a single license of total CMS yes you can whether or not
42:21 there it published to a subfolder or a sub domain you can have several instances of total CMS because it is
42:27 licensed on your domain not per installation so I know a lot of people
42:33 like designers what they do is they'll create you know the license it for their domain and then they'll create
42:40 subdomains for all their clients right as they're testing things for their clients then you know that that CMS
42:47 license for their root domain applies to all those you know client and test domains that they're creating for their
42:52 clients as they are designing those sites right obviously when they when they move the site off there's on to
42:59 their customers domain they need to get a you know a valid told CMS license for them right but during the development
43:06 phase it's convenient that you can create a subdomain or publish to a subfolder as you're designing a client's
43:12 website
43:29 okay I think that pretty much answered most of the questions that I saw there
43:35 are some people saying that you know they still can't get CMAs to work um I you know that's something maybe we can
43:41 discuss again during the during the
43:48 lunchtime talks where we can actually chitchat back and forth with each other and maybe you know do some screen chairs
43:54 and and you know helping out each other it's kind of hard when it's kind of a one-way discussion right now with those
44:00 sort of things okay so Gunther instead of continuing to
44:07 ask questions once you go ahead and just table that and then we'll discuss you
44:13 know during the the lunch time when we can actually have a two-way conversation and talk about what's going on maybe
44:21 maybe if you want to in the you know get together a little a little thing that I can look at you know here's my website
44:26 this is the problem I have then and we can we can have a look at that and we can kind of live debug that for everyone
44:32 um you know I think I think it could be beneficial for everyone so that'd be great"}]
