Our New Documentation Wiki: CWS Tutorials 2.0

Submitted by Adam Jensen on Fri, 04/03/2009 - 11:08

I'm proud to announce that we at CWS have finished migrating our developer's tutorials from their old home at https://cws.unt.edu/tutorials to our new, improved documentation wiki right here at https://webadmin.unt.edu/wiki.

The new system includes all the instructional content from the old page (except for a couple of tutorials that were sadly out-of-date), but provides quite a few additional features. For instance, our tutorials (we call them "How-Tos" now) are fully commentable, intelligently tagged, and searchable through an intuitive filtering system.

We've also added quite a bit of new material as part of our ongoing support for the Drupal content management system here at UNT.  If you're already using our Drupal distribution, these new how-tos should help you take your site to the next level.  If you're not using Drupal yet, please take a look anyway; it'll help you get a better idea of what Drupal might be able to offer next time you redesign your site.

We hope this new system will be very helpful to you in your daily work; please let us know (either by commenting on an existing page or sending us an email) if you've got any suggestions for making it even better.

Enjoy!

Database backup and restore now available

Submitted by Adam Jensen on Tue, 03/10/2009 - 10:41

Hello!

Just wanted to let everybody know that we've published a new self-administration feature; those of you with access to databases can now create complete backups of those databases on our servers with a single click.

It's always a good idea to back up your database before you make any major changes to it; that way, if something goes wrong, you can just log on to webadmin and click "Restore" to bring things back to normal.

Thanks!
