Coding a CMS, where to start?

Hey, I'd like to start making a CMS.
Problem is, I don't know what's required, or where to start.
Could anyone give me a few pointers?

I'm not a noob to programming, just a noob to developing Habbo stuff.

And no, I won't post a development thread until I'm at least 45% done with the backend. I also won't just abandon it. I'll commit to it.

You will probably need to teach yourself how to work with PHP and MySQL.
Google is your friend, Coding a CMS in an afternoon is a small guide you could use, although I would start with mastering more basic php/mysql.

Goodluck! :wink:

I know enough PHP & MySQL to create a CMS, but I meant like a CMS for Habbo retros.

I usually start with just writing some wrapper classess and think of a way to load the pages properly. Usually end up writing a small template class.

Then database and then just building the pages.

Just start somewhere. If you dont start anywhere, you're not going to get far.

Well a whole CMS is a big thing. It isn't exactly a 2 second job. Get some inspiration from other CMS developments, I've seen a few going on right now in the 'Habbo Development' section. Maybe you could get an idea on where to start from there.
