What does it mean to put the site on the engine? I understand that the use of CMS is assumed. But how to do this, in particular, is interested in MODx, maybe there are some examples?

    Landing on the engine means that you need to perform some operations with the site that will allow you to use the same or almost the same content on the new engine.

    • What exactly? - karr
    • Insert php code, for example ... - ka5itoshka

    If MODx is needed, read the documentation here.

      Most likely you should learn the functions of php and javascript. Try to make one page (let's say the main one), but so that, depending on the button pressed, special content comes out.

      Manage your site through the same site so that in order to add a user or something you do not have to go into the code and change something there manually.

      If you are not familiar with php, then ready to answer other questions.

        If you already have a website, do the following:

        1. separate layout - HTML and CSS from scripts
        2. set up a local web server for development
        3. install CMS (MODx, Wordpress, Joomla ...) - on the corresponding sites there are manuals on how to do it, incl. and about the local server, but if you have any difficulties, ask the questions you have written here.
        4. replace the standard theme templates with your layout
        5. upload everything to the hosting via FTP or other means - read about it in the manual for your hosting

          Landing the site on the engine means the following:

          1. You already have a site with layout or engine
          2. You need to transfer it to the engine, say wordpress
          3. You transfer the layout first (Footer, Header, Content)
          4. Transfer modules, plugins that were in the old solution
          5. Admin admin for them if required
