Hi
A bit of advice/thoughts needed here please.. :) and I'm very Noob to
Plone
I'll be in receipt of three new fairly beefy servers very soon for
the purposes of upgrading the intranet in my rapidly expanding
department.
Three servers, one for each of 3 different areas of study; web, print
and broadcast audio.
I've been playing around with Plone for a week or so, using a testing
server (with varying success) trying out different packages. So I'd
like to use Plone to get away from the constant problems I've had
over the years with Windows shares as an intranet system, ie user
rights, paths to servers etc which students never seem to grasp!
I'd like it (my shiny new intranet) to be a place where students can
keep their files safely, access from anywhere and have some other
resources there too, such as equipment/computer booking, module info,
tech guides etc. We also run web courses where traditionally we've
been teaching Dreamweaver, but now it's practically extinct in the
online news industry - so Plone would be good to introduce CMS for
websites to the students.
A few probs tho:
It seems like every time I get a collection of products on the test
server together that I think would be useful, I start getting error
pages ( e.g. portal_navigation attribute error)..
Any thoughts on how I could set all this up?
With 3 servers how could they all be integrated, if at all?
I've also started testing Enfold Desktop which seems great, IIS proxy
would be useful but can't figure it out.
One last thing, I'm used to seeing gigs and gigs of files in folders
on my servers and it's a bit freaky to think of them in one big
database file, reassurance would be nice..
Thanks
