I agree with Clinton. Above all else, security is important and you want 
something that handles credentials properly. Chances are, your sites are 
getting scanned by potential hackers every day and you may not know it. They 
don't try to hack in because of who you are, only because you are there.

I also second the idea of using Drupal to do this. It comes out of the box with 
a lot of the features you listed, plus some.

Besides, I'll bet you a pint of your favorite beer that once this data is 
online, your users will want to do more with it. Having a flexible foundation 
is not a bad thing. :)

There are tools that let you use Filemaker as a sort of front end to MySQL

http://www.filemaker.com/support/technologies/mysql.html

You could export the MS Accses into csv then import into Filemaker.

 I've had a chance to look at the FileMaker Pro data.  Not the worst I have
 seen, it needs normalized, but the data itself is fairly uniform and would
 map easily enough to Dublin Core. So far just text, though they say
 perhaps, someday, they might want images. I have yet to see the MS Access
 data.

 I've worked on various personal/school projects using SQL, PHP, HTML, CSS,
 and various repositories/CMS.  For personal use and fun I've thrown
 together a few LAMPs using VMWare, but nothing production.

 I am thinking of tossing together a virtualized LAMP, secure it, build the
 bones of a site, and then clone the thing and put the data for each project
 in its own copy onto a webserver.

 Is there a better/easier way?  Am I doomed to a life of pain and suffering
 (besides that due to being a librarian)?  Have a LAMP distro with a CMS to
 suggest? Any suggestions are welcomed.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Putting several small databases online.

2012-06-27 Thread Chad Benjamin Nelson
Hi Paul,

If you're comfortable with php, which it sounds like you are, I'd recommend the 
cakephp framework.  It's lightweight  and fairly easy to get started with. The 
Tutorial provides a nice introduction to getting started and quickly building a 
simple CRUD app like you are talking about.

It doesn't come with as much built in as Drupal, but it does mean there is a 
lot less to worry about and so you can get your barebones site up pretty 
quickly. There are also quite a few plugins available to help you build up a 
site quickly without writing too much custom code. 

Hope that helps,

Chad
