Install the single Dropkick stack into Rapidweaver.So, to recap, the process goes like this: Once that’s done, you navigate to your website and follow the instructions to install Dropkick and then set up an admin user – this will be you if it’s your website and the client if you’re building it for someone else.
You’ll set up all of this information when you create the MySQL database and Yuzool provides a number of tutorials to walk you through this and Dropkick’s various other features.

Next step is to upload the various Dropkick files and folders to your web server using an FTP program, after which you’ll need to edit the ` config.php` file with a plain text editor to add four bits of crucial information – the host name, the user name, password and database name.

To the uninitiated, this sounds like it’s going to be a deeply unpleasant experience but it actually isn’t we would however, recommend you check your host’s documentation on how to do this or enlist the services of their support staff if you’re uncertain. First, you’ll need to create a new MySQL database on your web server, then create a user for that database and then ‘connect’ the two. Dropkick is also a one-off purchase that can be used again and again on as many websites as you like.Įxperienced users will find the Installation is pretty straightforward, though it does present one or two hoops that need to be navigated. What it does do however, is allow you to create multiple editable areas on a website and set up multiple users with different privileges to edit them and wrap the whole thing in a simple, clean white-label interface that you can brand yourself. It doesn’t turn Rapidweaver into WordPress and it doesn’t allow you to create new pages, and it doesn’t let you alter the style or design of a theme. Unfortunately, there was usually something ‘up’ with each of these recommendations – too limited, too opaque, ongoing fees, no stacks to make integrating it with Rapidweaver nice and easy – always something, and although some users were clearly able to produce effective CMS-based sites for themselves and their clients, the problem wasn’t solved and the question kept being asked: where’s the CMS for Rapidweaver?įirst, let’s be clear what Dropkick doesn’t do. Helpful forum answers usually go along the following lines: try Kuler Edits for single editable sections on a page or for something more complex, look to WebYep, PageLime, Pulse CMS or Nimblehost’s Armadillo or if you’re prepared to root out an old, unsupported copy, there’s always SiteCake and – still our go-to CMS – ClientEdit. If we had one pound sterling for every time someone came on the Rapidweaver forums and asked for a decent CMS (content management system) for our favourite web design program, then we probably wouldn’t be earning a crust doing this.
