Although it was an interactive forum, the structure of the forum was not the focus of Ding Lei's presentation, which focused on a CMS (content publishing management) system.

There is nothing to say about the architecture of the forum, and it still adopts the basic architecture of Firebird BBS developed by Ding Lei before, but it adds additional functions such as on-site search and on-site messages.

But this set of CMS really surprised Zhang Chen, a qualified business website must have a strong CMS to support.

Today's websites are still dominated by personal sites, the content is relatively simple, and the amount of content updates is not large and infrequently, so most of them use the form of manual update of pure static HTML to publish content.

However, for websites with a large amount of content and frequent updates, it is impossible to manually implement them all one by one, so the information release system CMS appeared, like the news channels of various portals that were often visited in later generations, and even their other channels, all of which were managed and realized through the information release system.

CMS can realize the simplest information entry to automatically generate static pages, and can also have channel management, permission management, automatic scraping and other functions, for a large website, it is essential to have a set of efficient and manageable CMS.

The CMS developed by Ding Lei and Zhou Feng is still very simple and the direction is not obvious enough, and it is more focused on the personal homepage. But with this system as a foundation, it's easy to turn BBS into a real forum community and portal.

You must know that what was the most popular in the beginning of domestic Internet entrepreneurship? In addition to OICQ, which copied ICQ, which was later known as QQ, it was the most popular chat rooms and communities.

Famous stations such as Netart, Tianya, Maopu, and even forums such as 1024 are actually community-based forums, and this form of forum has been popular until 2010, until the popularization of mobile Internet, it gradually declined.

Even so, there is still one community that has become a fish that has slipped through the net in the era of mobile Internet, and even become the largest Chinese community in the world, that is, Tieba.

Now Zhang Chen is not ignorant of programming, although his level is not high, but he is ahead of his vision, and he is half an insider.

Zhang Chen looked at Ding Lei: "How did you come up with the idea of developing this thing?"

Ding Lei scratched his head: "Originally, I wanted to get another BBS from the beginning, which is the 163 you just saw." Later, I saw that Zhou Ning had started to build a personal station, and I thought that my personal homepage might be a hot topic in the future. If we can come up with a personal homepage system, people who go to our website can pay some money to open their own personal homepage on our website, and we will host them, which can be regarded as a profit point, right? Even if you insist on being free, at least it is a means to attract users. ”

Zhang Chen nodded: "This thing is good, it's pretty good, who wrote it?"

Ding Lei smiled and said: "Most of the BBS code is my previous Firebird code, and a few of us sat together and modified it. The main credit for this back-end system is Xiaochuan's, the overall architecture he proposed, we did it together, and he completed the development of the current version on his bed. ”

The other students had classes, and after Ding Lei finished the demonstration, he found that there was no one else around him except Zhang Chen, so he couldn't help but smack his lips, quite unsatisfied.

Zhang Chen tried this system and found that it was really good, although the functions were not perfect, but these could be improved in the later stage, at least the skeleton was not bad, and the scalability was strong enough.

Zhang Chen asked, "How are these students?"

Ding Lei gave a thumbs up: "Okay! Really good! Although I was still very rusty at the beginning, as long as I got started, I made rapid progress! ”

"Oh?" Zhang Chen was interested, "What kind of practice?"

Ding Lei thought for a while, "Needless to say, learning ability and professional ability, those who can be admitted to Tsinghua University do not have bad learning ability." Let me tell you about their characteristics. Zhou Feng, organized, strong scheduling ability, more theoretical than product, this time he wrote this background he obviously studied some of JAVA's algorithms deeper than others. Xiaochuan is more focused on technology and likes to make products very much, and he will definitely be able to be a qualified product manager in the future. Hu Chen's interest is mainly in outreach, with strong organizational skills, quick response, and active brain. Hu Ning, as the only girl here, has the most meticulous mind, and like Zhou Feng, she has a good view of the overall situation. Anyway, they're all the best of the best, and if they can join in, I think it will definitely be a big help. ”

Zhang Chen nodded: "It's up to you whether you can pull them all in." ”

Ding Lei said depressedly: "Boss, you're too irresponsible, aren't you? What am I going to do to pull people, and now I don't even know what I'm doing." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "Okay, don't pretend, don't you just want money and power." ”

Ding Lei's face was not red, "The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass have come first, there is no financial power, no personnel power, what kind of war? Let me state first, I didn't embezzle a penny of the money you gave me before, but put my salary into more than 2,000 yuan to make these two sets of things." ”

Zhang Chen nodded: "I know that you are not corrupt, you can pack your things now, I will book a plane for you early tomorrow morning, I will fly to Yuzhou with you and meet the team of the computer newspaper." ”

Ding Lei suddenly came to his senses, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "Okay, I don't have anything to pack, and the luggage has been sent to Yuzhou." ”

Zhang Chen and Ding Lei invited the students to have a meal at the Kyoto Roast Duck Restaurant in Tuanjie Lake in the evening, and bluntly told everyone that this website was invested by themselves, and now the CMS that everyone has come up with is very useful to themselves.

Zhang Chen and Ding Lei thanked everyone for their hard work in the past ten days, and gave everyone a red envelope of 500 yuan.

Zhou Feng and the others looked at each other, and they were not particularly surprised by this matter. After all, Zhang Chen once created ICQ, and now it is natural to invest in domestic websites.

But for the red envelope, everyone resigned again and again, and even Xu Chaojun, who had been very tight on hand, insisted on not accepting it, saying that he was already embarrassed to take a computer, and if there was anything he needed to do in the future, just tell everyone directly, which is also signed in the contract, and he can't ask for another money.

Ding Lei wrapped a duck roll and took a bite: "Do you really think he has a good intention to give you a computer? This semester, you should study political economy, he is a capitalist, the computer is the tool of production, and you are the laborer, and the capitalist provides the laborer with the means of production in order to improve the production efficiency of the laborers, better exploit the laborers, and obtain the surplus value created by the laborers." And the red envelopes for you are the small favors that the capitalists can't bear after exploiting the laborers, don't be deceived. ”
