It's a proprietary CMS called <i>Shopa</i> (produced by <b>thewebdesigner</b> in Windsor.) <br><br>I don't know Shopa too well yet. It's hard unlearning old static HTML site paradigms. It hurts my head a bit at the moment getting my head around a non-hierarchical stack of content...<br>
<br>After playing with Joomla (for my <a href="http://vceit.com">vceit.com</a> site), I'm becoming more convinced that CMS is the way of the future. I'll see if I can get it on the school computers for next year's prototype website outcome. Just need to install WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP)...<br>
<br>As I type this, the new DNS of <a href="http://www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au">http://www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au</a> has propagated to where I am so the new McKinnon site is live. This means that the old home of the IT Lecture Notes is now dead <img goomoji="mckinnonsc_vic_edu_au.323" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" src="cid:mckinnonsc_vic_edu_au.323@goomoji.gmail"><br>
<br>Please now link to <a href="http://vceit.com">http://vceit.com</a>. The pages within the new site correspond exactly to links in the old site: just replace <b><a href="http://www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au/vceit/foobar.htm">www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au/vceit/foobar.htm</a></b> with <b><a href="http://vceit.com/foobar.htm">vceit.com/foobar.htm</a>.</b><br>
<br>In the meantime, I'm seeing whether Netspace has a redirection in their control panel, or if we need a .htaccess hack.<br><br>Cheers!<br>Mark<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 11:33 AM, Wayne Hewett <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:staffwhe@rsc.vic.edu.au">staffwhe@rsc.vic.edu.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] IT Lecture Notes have moved<br>
<br>
Hi all. Apologies for the crossposts. Time for a quick BIG ANNOUNCEMENT<br>
THINGY.<br>
<br>
The IT Lecture Notes has moved to <a href="http://vceit.com" target="_blank">vceit.com</a>. For a long time while now, I<br>
have been using the <a href="http://vceit.com" target="_blank">vceit.com</a> domain as a shorthand for<br>
<a href="http://www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au/vceit" target="_blank">www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au/vceit</a> but (regrettably) I had to change.<br>
'Regrettably' because I know there are now going to be a lot of broken links<br>
in people's sites.<br>
<br>
The reason for the move is that main McKinnon site has become a CMS-based<br>
site (hosted externally, and due to come online today, actually) but I don't<br>
have the time to convert *The Notes* to the CMS format used by our new host.<br>
<br>
Therefore, I have turned off the redirection of *The Notes* so their<br>
permanent home is now *<a href="http://vceit.com" target="_blank">vceit.com</a>*. Please use this address from now on and<br>
adjust your bookmarks accordingly. I will try to set up redirection so hits<br>
to the mckinnonsc domain are sent to <a href="http://vceit.com" target="_blank">vceit.com</a>.<br>
<br>
I intend to convert the entire site to a Joomla base soon - well, as soon as<br>
I master Joomla, that is...<br>
<br>
Apologies for any grief or distress this may cause, but at least the new URL<br>
is a whole lot shorter...<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Mark<br>
