The Magnolia CMS and the U.S. Navy

A couple weeks ago, one of Magnolia's press people gave me a sneak preview of a case study for how the Magnolia CMS was being used by one of their partners in redesigning the recruitment website of the United States Navy, Navy.com. I was given the opportunity to write a story about the redesign before the case study was published online. It was a great opportunity I was being offered but I just wasn't able to find the time in my schedule to write the story.

Magnolia CMS LogoSo it is only fitting, that I at least talk about this case study on the Navy's use of the Magnolia content management system on Veteran's Day. The recent Navy.com was redesigned to be more interactive, more responsive to user needs, and better integrated with social media communities nurtured by the U.S. Navy. Additionally, the site needed to support the Navy’s recently launched new brand, “America’s Navy. A Global Force For Good™”.

As mentioned in the case study, integrators spent six months researching and evaluating open source content management systems. Their evaluation was platform-agnostic; they considered Java, PHP and Python solutions in their research. Key evaluation criteria were:

  • Easy to learn and easy to use for content authors
  • Short learning curve for designers and developers
  • Easy to integrate with custom business objects
  • Compliant with Web standards and accessibility guidelines
  • Scalable and robust

Magnolia CMS Enterprise Edition, together with the Magnolia STK and Blossom module, met all of these criteria. Navy.com is now running on Magnolia CMS Enterprise Edition with Magnolia STK and Blossom, Magnolia's instant Spring integration. The infrastructure supporting this site includes an Apache Web Server, Tomcat Application Server, MySQL Database, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Create Professional Quality Joomla! 1.5 Templates for your Website

Packt is pleased to announce a new book on Joomla! 1.5 , which aims to help users debug, validate, and package templates. Written by Tessa Blakely Silver, Joomla! 1.5 Template Design is a complete guide for web designers to create unique website templates for Joomla! 1.5.

Joomla! is an award-winning Content Management System (CMS), which enables users to build websites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla one of the most popular CMSes available. Joomla! 1.5 has a radically enhanced template system that is very different from that of Joomla! 1.0, and comes complete with the ability to create template overrides and customize "module chrome".

Joomla! 1.5 Template Design focuses squarely on the new enhancements to the Joomla! 1.5 templating process and walks web designers through the process of turning a working XHTML and CSS "mockup" into a fully functional Joomla! 1.5 template. It is designed to help users create effective and flexible templates and help them tweak their existing templates with Flash, extensions and JavaScript libraries.

Users will learn to set up a basic workflow for Joomla! template design and create Suckerfish drop-down menus and dynamic forms for their website. They will also learn how to package finished templates in a ZIP file and use the W3C's XHTML and CSS validation tools. Additionally, they will also learn how to use the wrapper (Wrapper Menu Item) for fully working AJAX applications.
