Hi,

I need a versatile asp.NET Content Management System which can be used for various websites and web-apps, for instance...


I need a widely used CMS which has strong community/support base and lots of extensions/add-ons.

I don't mind paying a premium if the solution works.

Please can I have some recommendations.

Many thanks

Three months ago we replaced 13 workstations with Dell Optiplex/Windows 10 workstations.  12 of the 13 are working fine - but one, unfortunately that workstation is used by the owner of the firm.  Every so often the computer simply hangs and not being on site i was told that the computer showed an error message saying something about "allowing" some program to run.  The users are so intimated by the owner that they restart the unit without recording the error message.  About 5 weeks ago i applied all outstanding updates and we had no issues for almost a month.  Then a few days ago the hanging started again,  I reviewed the logs and below is the last entry before the hanging.  It said the problem can be corrected by changing the permissions but i am not sure how to do that.  Any help would be appreciated,

when you use a 3rd party to host your website, where does the responsibility typically split in terms of the technology stack on who has to apply patches to all the relevant components of the web stack? e.g. do they typically patch your CMS and any underlying databases, or only lower levels of the stack?

I am trying to quantify risks with the current 'management' and roles & resp[responsibilities of our websites 'content management system' (concrete5). I have never administered a content management system for a website before, but my overall understanding on permissions is there is an admin level role which allows overall control, and then there are author level roles, which allow a number of users to edit content on specific pages or areas of the site. My concern, from a contingency perspective, is we only have 1 officer with admin permissions on the CMS, and the others are only author level roles. The concern being if the 1 current admin was unavailable for example ill health for a few months, what would grind to a halt in terms of the overall CMS management?

Back to the 'I have never administered a content management system for a website before' - if you are a CMS admin, what activities/maintenance/monitoring requires admin level permissions in a solution, or put another way, if nobody logged in as an admin for numerous weeks, what could the knock on effect be? I was also hoping to establish some standard maintenance checklists that the CMS admin has to perform, so if they were unavailable another officer could pick up their duties and would have an easy 'how to guide' on which to follow. Ideally supplemented with formal training.

I am working with some folk who are using Expression Engine Version 2. something.  They are considering upgrading to the latest version.  I know that version 2 and version 3 have a different directory setup.  Is there any definitive docs on how to upgrade with minimal pain? Tutorials? Plugins? How to videos?  I'm in the exploratory phase of this project and will appreciate any input on upgrading EE from 2.... to 3.0 - 4.0 and beyond!

Are there any common risks that can be associated with a company website - we need to do a risk assessment to ensure we have plans/controls/processes in place for all common risks associated with a companies website - main ones I could think of were effective content management (e.g. no broken links, up to date information, compliant with accessibility standards for all user groups) to reduce the risk of customer dissatisfaction/reputational damage, availability, e.g. controls for minimising downtime for hardware failure etc, security, e.g. compromise of site/server etc. I suppose performance, e.g. ensure suitable platform/hardware could be another risk.

I have a WordPress site using avada theme

I need to create a support Section on the site that can be easily updated by non programmers

Ideally I need a tree. View. On left, with expandable nodes, and when you click on a tree item/node, it would load content on right panel
The content may contain text, images and pictures

I would also like a search facility for.This support section of the website

Are there any plug ins etc that can do this?

what are the free web hosting  and blogging service providers/services that allow monetization ( eg: google adsense)

Hi,

as an service company we need to let our customers sign new contracts every week. for the moment those contracts are paper based.

is there a good way to put this contract online? i mean that the customer can read this online and then sign the contract digitally?

so we can email the contract out and let the customer sign online.

Hello,

What methods are best for organizing zipped and their extracted files in Windows?

This is not a technical question but relates to simplicity and efficiency. I've never been quite sure of the best way to manage zipped and unzipped files.

For example, I learned long ago that it's not a great idea to extract a zipped file right in the Downloads folder where it arrived. And actually, my question is not so much about the extracted files which, like any file, are generally moved to a folder appropriate for their topic.

But for the original unzipped file, is it best to:

• leave it in the Downloads folder after extracting its contents to some other folder
• leave it in the Downloads folder but move a copy of it elsewhere before extracting
• remove the original from the Downloads folder before doing anything to it
• keep a copy of the original in the same location with its extracted files
• keep a copy of the original file in a different location than its extracted files
• discard the original file after its contents are extracted

I'm sure the above options are mostly a matter of preference but I'm curious re practices followed by others and why.

Thanks
