Synopsis

PHP-Nuke (www.phpnuke.org) is an open source web portal program that is

very powerful, but relatively easy to use once it is set up, and very flexible and

customizable. It runs on Linux, UNIX, OS/2, Windows, MacOS and

FreeBSD, and is supported in 20 languages. It gives administrators a powerful

assembly of tools to maintain an active and 100% interactive website that uses

databases. It runs on the popular programs MySQL (or any SQL database),

Apache, and PHP, yet the administrator does not need to know any of these

programs in order to use PHP-Nuke.

PHP-Nuke has two main audiences: 1) companies who are in record numbers

establishing intranet Web portals to help organize information on their

networks and improve interoffice communications. More companies are using

public Web portals to engage, inform, and retain customers; 2) ISP customers

who are receiving PHP-Nuke as an easy-to-use value-add from their ISPs. The

ISP push is leading MANY customers to be interested in PHP-Nuke (since

they get it for free with their Web hosting), but at a loss for how to go about

using it.

From the Back Cover

Enter your PHP-Nuke Garage... where you master the most powerful, cheap (and/or free) Web content system ever created, then use it to build great Web sites, portals, or communities... hands-on, step-by-step.

PHP-Nuke is remarkably capable and reliable, but until now, it's been poorly documented. This book fills the gap. Best of all, you can use it even if you have no experience with PHP, databases, coding, or hosting. Drawing on practical examples from a live example site, top IT author/trainer Don Jones illuminates every facet of working with PHP-Nuke: installation, configuration, customization, security, day-to-day administration, and much more.

Topics include: content delivery, design and themes, forums, journals, downloads, member lists, news/reviews, personalization, RSS, archiving, FAQs, feedback, statistics, surveys, pay sites, AvantGo mobile content, Amazon e-commerce links, and more. Jones even shows how to find a PHP-Nuke hosting service to handle the infrastructure for you -- so you can focus on content, not technology.

Organized into 66 easy modules, designed for rapid learning, and based on real examples, PHP-Nuke Garage will help you create the interactive site you've always wanted -- faster than you ever thought possible.
