Abstract

During maintenance of the State Portal of the Republic of Slovenia e-uprava, the preparation, coordination and confirmation of patches in test and production environments proved to be time-consuming and extensive work. According to the maintenance experiences there has emerged the need to upgrade application with a system that would enable software-based content modification. The diploma thesis deals with upgrading the e-uprava portal using the SRCSI-CMS content management system. At the beginning content management systems and their properties are introduced. It is followed by the presentation of e-uprava portal, a description of technologies used during its development, a description of SRCSI-CMS system and its operation, and presentation of new technologies introduced during its usage. Next, there is a step by step review of the portal upgrade with the described system. Used tools are also presented. Finally, the implementation of the extension in SRCSI-CMS system is described. The task of portal upgrade, which was performed in 2009 and 2010 by the company SRC, d. o. o., was to set up a content management system (CMS). The purpose of upgrading was to enable the maintainers to modify the content of the portal directly in the application and to provide up-to-date content, while preserving the existing display to the final users. After the upgrade the maintenance of the portal has been greatly simplified, content modification is faster and the number of participants in its preparation has been substantially reduced. In this diploma thesis the ease of extending the system is shown through the implementation of administration of video content in SRCSI-CMS system.
