[02:12:45] spagewmf: You still at the office? Is Robla there? [02:15:09] Krinkle: he is, but he's leaving soon [02:15:14] not at his desk atm [02:15:20] Can you ask him to join for just a minute? [02:15:25] (later maybe) [02:22:40] Krinkle, heya I'm here. [12:06:14] hello [12:08:03] Is there any developer availiable to ask some questions? [12:34:11] KikiSti hi [12:34:15] depends [12:34:21] just ask [13:06:19] Nothing to do though with wiki, is a question that I believe only a developer can answer [13:06:51] ok can you just ask :P [13:06:53] May I ask even if it has nothing to do with wiki? [13:06:57] yes [13:06:58] yes, ask please [13:07:00] :) [13:07:40] I want to make a site with a database and I dont know the stracture and I am wondering if some CMS like drupal and joomla can handle so big databases [13:08:07] that depends on database software [13:08:19] the thing is that i will have people with no computer knowledge to enter data to the site [13:08:31] wikipedia is pretty big and mysql is still enough [13:08:46] thats what I wanted to conclude [13:09:04] I will link mysql with an html site? [13:09:21] can I link mysql with a drupal site? [13:09:23] eh, I don't know what you mean [13:09:33] I am confused [13:09:34] :) [13:09:35] in fact I have no experience with drupal at all [13:10:00] you should read this information in manual of that software [13:10:21] shall I tell you exactly what I need to make? and you give some kind of advice? [13:10:26] I know joomla and wordpress [13:10:30] both run on mysql well [13:10:40] Drupal is kind of joomla [13:10:45] hm [13:11:46] but I have a question, if I have people that dont have knowlegde to enter stuff in the database, thats not easy with joomla [13:12:14] for example my father only knows how to open the internet browser, and he will enter data in to the database [13:12:36] that's how mediawiki works [13:13:12] a site that I know with hotels that my sister used to work there they have a programm called Samba and they enter the data and pictures there and they just press the upload [13:13:45] hmm [13:13:52] I don't know [13:13:52] Can you eplain me how the backend conects with the front end? I am really confused [13:14:01] in mediawiki? [13:14:11] generally in a site with a database [13:14:34] there is mysql server running somewhere and web server which executes php [13:14:52] the interpretor of php connect to mysql [13:15:10] so the connection to database is done from web server, not client who uses browser [13:15:28] I somehow understand this [13:15:59] so if I make a site in joomla or dotnetnuke or drupal the database will be on server I will not have to create the database [13:16:18] I will only create the fealds from the programms interface [13:16:21] righ? [13:16:23] right? [13:16:58] depends [13:17:12] if you install it from scratch you will probably need to create everything [13:17:27] the database is usually created by software [13:17:35] you just need to have an account on DB server [13:17:42] with privileges to create database [13:17:59] can joomla handle huge databases? [13:18:06] I don't know [13:18:13] you should ask joomla developers :) [13:18:26] I have almost no idea how it's designed [13:18:30] it depends on many things [13:18:59] large databases need to use indexing properly [13:19:10] searching would be problem in large database [13:19:12] I have ask some people and those that I asked told me to stop with the site that I want to make because I will fail [13:19:18] thats why I came here [13:19:23] but "static" data can be stored in some squid like cache server [13:20:07] I can't tell you if site you want to create will fail or not, I don't even know what is it going to be, I just know some wikimedia related stuff :P [13:20:30] in fact I don't think this is correct channel for this :D [13:20:41] there are some php devs in #php [13:20:47] maybe they would know more [13:21:11] you are very sweet petan , I really thank you for your time I will go there [13:21:17] heh [13:21:24] I will search if there is a joomla channel also [13:21:26] no prob [13:21:28] really thank you [13:21:51] maybe they would tell you in #freenode, or just try #joomla [13:22:35] ok I will go there and ask them after I come back from work [13:22:39] tnx again [17:28:21] tech staffffffff [17:28:37] ou [17:29:23] ok this network sucks :) [17:31:32] wmf tech days: retreat, massages, drink milk out of coconuts, pineapple tree wind. no ?
