Hello,
I'm about to get underway with the re-development of a site that
receives frequent content updates. The re-development is comprised
mostly of changes to the site's HTML and CSS; functionally, the site
is staying relatively the same.
One change that makes things a bit trickier is that the page
extensions are changing from .php to .shtml. Though, I think I've
figured out a relatively straightforward way to address that in the
development process.
Last but not least, there's a hope that we can also upgrade Bricolage
to the 1.11.x branch at some point during this process.
So, my question are:
* What are the approaches that people have used when embarking on
similar re-development projects?
* What are the pitfalls you've encountered along the way?
Specifically, I'm wondering about:
* Developing new templates on the production server exclusively (vs.
using a development server), given Bricolage's template development
sandbox;
* Or developing on a development server, and then synching those
changes back with the production server at a later stage.
* And, last but not least, who's using 1.11.x exclusively now and
how's it going?
Any and all thoughts / experiences are helpful. Many thanks in advance,
Phillip.
