  • Joomla Vs Drupal - Website Content Management Systems]
    [JOOMLA VS DRUPAL - WEBSITE CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS] Joomla or Drupal? CMS’s are generally used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images). And yes, they can take the web maintenance person out of the picture, as clients can update their own content, as and when required There are numerous Web CMS (Content Management Systems), and each one can ether fall into Open Source or proprietary. The ones that tend to stand out from the crowd, or should I say those that are more commonly used by small website design agencies are Word Press, Joomla and Drupal. So which one do you choose as a customer, or do you leave this to your web developer? Generally speaking, Joomla has a cleaner and smoother user interface; on the other hand Drupal is more flexible. Drupal and Joomla developers could argue all day,, so I’m going to go in as a bipartisan developer. • For starters both are easy to install and deploy, and many hosting companies have a one click install for these. • Both have plenty of modules and extensions you can use. • Joomla has a lighter learning curve than Drupal. • Joomla support SSL logins and SSL pages. Drupal not known to support it. • Server resources utilization is more compared to drupal © 2009 www.visualwebz.com Seattle Web Development Company [JOOMLA VS DRUPAL - WEBSITE CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS] Summary of Joomla & Drupal Features • Limited technical knowledge need to get started. • Short learning curve • Cannot integrate other scripts etc. to your site • Generally you cannot create high-end sites, without additional investment of time.

  • Desarrollo De Una Aplicación Web De Gestión Colaborativa Para Un Club De Triatlón
    Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Informàtica Universitat Politècnica de València Desarrollo de una aplicación web de gestión colaborativa para un club de triatlón Trabajo Fin de Grado Grado en Ingeniería Informática Autor: Jose Enrique Pérez Rubio Tutor/a: Manuela Albert Albiol Victoria Torres Bosch 2016 - 2017 Desarrollo de una aplicación web de gestión colaborativa para un club de triatlón 2 Resumen Se ha desarrollado una intranet para sustituir el actual método de contacto y navegación de los usuarios el cual es un foro. La nueva aplicación cuenta con más funcionalidades que no estaban disponibles anteriormente. La página web está desarrollada en web2py, un framework de Python. Como patrón de diseño para la implementación se utilizará el conocido Modelo Vista Controlador (MVC), arquitectura estándar hoy en día el cual separa los datos y la lógica de las vistas del usuario. Este diseño facilita el desarrollo y mantenimiento de las aplicaciones. Palabras clave: triatlón, intranet, web2py, framework, Python. MCV Abstract This Intranet has been developed to replace the current users contact and navigation method, nowadays it is a forum. The new application has more functionality than previously available. This web page is developed in Python web2py’s framework. As design for the implementation we'll be using the Model View Controller (MVC), standard architecture because it separates the data and the logic from user's view. This design improves the development and maintenance of applications. Keywords: triathlon, intranet, web2py, framework, Python, MVC 3 Desarrollo de una aplicación web de gestión colaborativa para un club de triatlón Agradecimientos Antes de nada, me gustaría dar las gracias a: Mis padres, por alentarme a continuar mi educación y han trabajado siempre muy duro para poder brindarme la oportunidad que ellos nunca tuvieron para poder continuar mis estudios.

  • Dotnetnuke Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Cve®1-2017-9822
    DOTNETNUKE REMOTE CODE EXECUTION VULNERABILITY CVE®1-2017-9822 DISCUSSION DotNetNuke®2 (DNN), also known as DNN Evoq and DNN Evoq Engage, is a web-based Content Management System (CMS) developed on the Microsoft®3 .NET framework. DNN is a web application commonly deployed on local or cloud Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) servers. On July 7, 2017, security researchers revealed a vulnerability within DNN versions 5.2.0 through 9.1.0 that allows an attacker to forge valid DNN credentials and execute arbitrary commands on DNN web servers. Web-based applications, such as DNN, can be overlooked in routine patching since vulnerability scans may be unaware of their presence. Furthermore, administrators often postpone major version updates to web applications due to the frequent user impact and incompatibility with customized features. Web applications are a frequent target for attackers and vulnerabilities can be exploited days or even hours after their release. For this reason, configuring web applications to update automatically is imperative to secure web application servers. There are many web-based CMSs similar to DNN. Other common CMS’s are WordPress®4, Drupal®5 and Joomla®6. Organizations should be aware of CMS instances within their purview (i.e., blog, wiki, etc.) and ensure adequate processes are in place for timely updates. MITIGATION ACTIONS The most effective mitigation action is to update to the latest version of DNN, version 9.1.1, which is not vulnerable. A hotfix is available at dnnsoftware.com for older versions of DNN, but NSA recommends to only use the hotfix as a temporary measure while migrating to the latest version.

They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. Kahlil Gibran Gitea es un servicio de auto hosteo de Git. Es similar a GitHub, Bitbucket o Gitlab. La meta de este proyecto es hacerlo más fácil, rápido, y más básica la forma de levantar un servicio de Git auto hosteado.Soporta todas las plataformas, incluyendo Linux, macOS y Windows, incluso en arquitecturas como ARM o PowerPC. INSTALACIÓN Hay varias formas de instalarlo1, para distintos sistemas operativos. Elegimos instalarlo en el sistema operativo que tenemos corriendo en nuestra notebook, un Ubuntu 16.xx. A continuación agregamos una imágen con los detalles de la computadora. Para instalar en Ubuntu (o cualquier Linux) no tenemos paquetes disponibles, así que debemos hacer la instalación mediante un archivo .BIN. Podemos elegir entre las distintas versiones cambiando la url donde va a buscar el archivo. Para saber 1 Cabe destacar que en la página hay un documento explicando el proceso de instalación para cada uno de los sistemas operativos.

  • Snapshots of Open Source Project Management Software
    International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Management United Kingdom ISSN 2348 0386 Vol. VIII, Issue 10, Oct 2020 http://ijecm.co.uk/ SNAPSHOTS OF OPEN SOURCE PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Balaji Janamanchi Associate Professor of Management Division of International Business and Technology Studies A.R. Sanchez Jr. School of Business, Texas A & M International University Laredo, Texas, United States of America [email protected] Abstract This study attempts to present snapshots of the features and usefulness of Open Source Software (OSS) for Project Management (PM). The objectives include understanding the PM- specific features such as budgeting project planning, project tracking, time tracking, collaboration, task management, resource management or portfolio management, file sharing and reporting, as well as OSS features viz., license type, programming language, OS version available, review and rating in impacting the number of downloads, and other such usage metrics. This study seeks to understand the availability and accessibility of Open Source Project Management software on the well-known large repository of open source software resources, viz., SourceForge. Limiting the search to “Project Management” as the key words, data for the top fifty OS applications ranked by the downloads is obtained and analyzed. Useful classification is developed to assist all stakeholders to understand the state of open source project management (OSPM) software on the SourceForge forum. Some updates in the ranking and popularity of software since
