hosted websites patch responsibility

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?

end-of-life CMS query

I have a query in relation to CMS support lifecycles. One of our partners uses a legacy version of concrete5 to maintain there website, who issued an end-of-life announcement last month:
https://www.concrete5.org/about/blog/community-blog/official-end-life-concrete5-version-6x

The note does clearly say that critical security updates will still be applied for a further 12 months, but I want to identify the risks in using this at present. Apart from 'critical updates' what other types of support/update would you receive if you move to a supported version of the software, that they will be missing out on while still operating the legacy version? I would like them to be more reactive and rather than wait right up until the end of the 12 month period, and upgrade now to a supported release, but I need some more examples of why this is required at this stage/what they are missing out on/risks in using the legacy version.

CMS single administrator (single point of failure)

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'm running Joomla 3.8.7 When I make a category the default home page all the articles cut off like there was a "read more" character in the article with the exception that there is no "read more" button. I cannot figure out what I have done to cause this behavior. I've tested my process on another 3.8.7 site and things behave as expected so it's got to be something I'm doing on the current site. I'd be happy to use the new site except there is so much content to transfer. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted. The site is dataqualitynetwork.net

Upgrading Expression Engine from version 2 to version 3 or 4

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!

I've just had some major "internal" work done on my website (built with FrontPage), and as a result, will need to replace some code on over 100 individual pages. My freelance coder said that it just might be time for me to consider a Content Management System. I looked at some CMS sites, and I'm starting to think he's right.

My website is www.radiogeorge.com

My coder has suggested I look at:

WordPress -- https://wordpress.org/
Joomla - https://www.joomla.org/
Drupal - https://www.drupal.org/

saying that the best candidate might come from this short list, considering the structure of the site.

FrontPage has given me familiarity with tweaking pages to the extent that they look O.K. and are easy to use, but beyond that, if I am going to go with a CMS, I would like to go with one that is very easy to use, since it looks like I'll be rebuilding the while enchilada.

So, experts, I'm asking you to scope things out and give me your recommendations before I get involved with learning and implementing a whole new bunch of tools to get the job done. Key thing to keep in mind: while I'm not a rank beginner in messing around with web pages, I am far from being up on the latest tools, so simple is best. I am not ruling out paying for a CMS tool, if it is indeed easy to use.

Thanks!

We are creating a product page and this product has 2 configurable types, I will call them LONG and SHORT. We have implemented a double swatch extension that does a very good job of allowing using to configure a product with various options.

We are trying to figure out if we can have the image swatch sizes for LONG set to 100 x 20 and the swatch image sizes for SHORT be set to 20 x 20.

Is this possible in Magento 2 to have 2 swatches, but different sizes. I only see a single place to change swatch image size in the file: vendor/magento/module-swatches/etc/view.xml

website risk assessment/risk management

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.

Special Path Using Textpattern

Just started working with a free CMS script: https://textpattern.com/. Pretty unfamiliar with it so far.

Have seen Textpattern sites where, after the domain, there is something like this:

PAGENAME.php?X=ANOTHER-PAGE-NAME

https://dev-demo.eu.textpattern.co/index.php?c=meaningful-labor
https://dev-demo.eu.textpattern.co/index.php?c=hope-for-the-future

http://www.acatlan.unam.mx/index.php?id=57

and even two levels

https://www.artedomus.com/?filter=Use&q=Bathro

Need to create a install of textpattern where we have

content.php?section=architects&article=ghery
content.php?section=painters&article=picasso
content.php?section=cities&article=oregon

so that we can preserve the same URL structure of existing pages

Anyone familiar enough with this program to know how to do that?

Thanks!

Joomla to WordPress Conversion

I have a customer who wants to convert her joomla site to wordpress and has asked to find out how much it would cost to do so. I have no idea at all so I can't setup a Gigs request since I have no budget idea in mind. As such my question is two-fold: 1) can those plugins for wordpress convert a joomla site to wordpress (and how well does it work)? 2) how would I go about determining how much a conversion would cost without using a conversion plugin? She does not want me to share her website URL yet. I know that would be helpful but at this point, I can't go against her wishes. Thanks!

WP multisite db usage

Can i take it that each site in a multisite WP installation does not use its own separate db?
Normally speaking, i don't mess with the control panel or plugins when moving a site. I simply export the db and copy the files. But i suppose i can't do that for one site only in a multisite installation?

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

The burden of debt that average person carries today has not only increased, but it keeps on growing. It is quite common nowadays that people find it extremely difficult to make ends meet in the face of millions of competing priorities that they have to confront. Expenses are far outgrowing income.
