suggested open-sorce methods for dynamic web content?

#1 Post by bezdomny »

I would like to publish dynamic online calendars and staff biographies for a non-profit and would like to know of an open-source program or scripting language I can use. What I have in mind is maintaining this information in text files or spreadsheets or databases on the server I could update and, the server would then automatically generate the updates into HTML pages on-the-fly. If my organization's host includes PHP, would that be the way to go? I'm looking for an open-source solution so this can be done at no cost to my non-profit client. Am I barking up the right tree? Any other suggestions? Thank you! :)

Most CMS packages will let you do all of that. The drupal package in testing works flawlessly in stable.

If that's too advanced you might want to have a look at Joomla, which is not in debian but very easy to use.

You might also want to consider various wiki packages.

There are working demos of a lot of php based packages here:

Or, you could learn php and script it yourself.
