As a powerful and easy-to-use website construction tool, Dreamweaver CMS can help us achieve this goal. This article will introduce in detail how to use DreamWeaver CMS to create a personalized website and provide specific code examples.

1. First introduction to Dreamweaver CMS

Dreamweaver CMS is a content management system developed based on PHP MySQL. It has rich plug-ins, templates and other resources, which can help users quickly build websites. and achieve personalized customization. First, we need to download and install Dreamweaver CMS from the official website http://www.dedecms.com/.

2. Choose a suitable theme

After launching DreamWeaver CMS, we need to choose a suitable theme as the appearance of the website. You can choose from the official theme library or customize a theme. In the "Template Management" in the management background, click "Theme Style", select a favorite theme and apply it.

3. Modify the website logo

The first step to personalize the website is to replace the default logo with your own logo. You can upload your own designed logo in the "System Settings" - "Site Basic Information" in the management background, or you can upload it to the corresponding theme directory in the "templets" folder through FTP.

4. Customized navigation bar

The navigation bar of the website is crucial to the user experience. We can add a navigation bar above or to the side of the website to allow users to browse the website content more conveniently. In "Column Management" you can create new columns and add them to the navigation bar.

5. Beautify the website style

By modifying the CSS style sheet file, we can easily change the style of the website, such as modifying the font color, background color, border style, etc. The "style.css" file in the theme folder can be found via FTP for editing.

6. Adding personalized functions

In addition to basic appearance customization, we can also use plug-ins provided by DreamWeaver CMS or self-developed plug-ins to increase the functionality of the website. For example, add message boards, recommended articles, social sharing, etc. The following takes adding a message board as an example to introduce the relevant code.

To add a message board in Dreamweaver CMS, you must first create a new "Message Board" column, click "New Column" in "Column Management", fill in the relevant information and save it. Then set the relevant configurations of the message board in "System Settings" - "Message Board Settings", such as message content length limit, message review, etc.

Next, find the relevant location in the front-end template file and add the following code:

{dede:guestbook}
<div class="guestbook">
  <ul>
      {dede:gblist}
      <li>
        <p>留言人：{field:uname}  留言时间：{field:gbtime}</p>
        <p>留言内容：{field:body}</p>
      </li>
      {/dede:gblist}
  </ul>
  <div class="guestbook-form">
    <form action="/plus/dedeguestbook.php" method="post">
      <input type="text" name="uname" placeholder="您的姓名" required>
      <textarea name="body" placeholder="请输入留言内容" required></textarea>
      <input type="submit" value="提交留言">
    </form>
  </div>
</div>
{/dede:guestbook}

In the above code, {dede:guestbook} is used to call the relevant information of the message board, {dede:gblist } is used to display the message list in a loop, and {field:} is used to retrieve the value of the corresponding field. In the message board form, users can enter their name and message content and submit their message.

Through the above steps, we can add a personalized message board function to DreamWeaver CMS to improve the interactivity and user experience of the website.

In actual operation, we can further customize the website as needed, such as adding article recommendation functions, optimizing SEO settings, etc. Using Dreamweaver CMS, it is no longer difficult to create a personalized website. I hope this article can help you.
