During the process of website construction, many website administrators will choose to use DedeCMS to build their own website. DedeCMS is an open source content management system with high scalability and stability, so it is deeply loved by the majority of website administrators.
If you are a beginner and want to use DedeCMS to build your own website, this article will provide you with a simple introductory tutorial. Next, we will introduce the entire process from installation to using DedeCMS in detail.
Step 1: Install DedeCMS
First, you need to download and install DedeCMS. You can download the latest version at its official website http://www.dedecms.com/. Before installation, you need to make sure that your server environment meets the requirements, such as whether the version numbers of PHP, MySQL, etc. meet the standards. During the installation process, you need to enter basic information such as database information, website address, etc., and pay attention to ensuring the accuracy of the information, otherwise the installation may fail.
Step 2: Getting started
After the installation is complete, let us enter the background management page of DedeCMS. First of all, we need to import some basic data from the database, such as columns, articles, etc. Find "Maintenance" -> "Database Management", select the data you need to import, and then click the "Import" button.
Next, let’s understand some basic concepts of DedeCMS. DedeCMS is driven based on columns and templates, so when building a website, you need to first set up the column structure of the website. Find "Content" -> "Column Management" and create your website column by "Add Column".
After the column is established, we need to select a suitable template to design the page of the website. DedeCMS comes with a variety of commonly used templates. You can select a template in "Template" -> "Template Management" and apply it to your website.
Step 3: Start building a website
Now that we have completed the basic configuration of DedeCMS, we can start building our own website. In "Content" -> "Add Content", you can add articles, pictures, videos and other content. DedeCMS provides a rich text editor that can support text-rich article output.
In addition, if you want to add the functionality of the website, you can add some extension functions to the "Model Management" of DedeCMS, such as message boards, news modules, etc.
