allow a client to update his own site?

Hi everyone!

ok here is my situation, I have a client who runs a band, and doesnt know html and of course does not intend to learn….He wants to be able to show when the band is playing, where …etc…. but he wants to be able to do it all the time, and would like to maintain that himself. Basicly what he wants it to look like is almost the main page of a blog, in which you see all the main posts by him, he can edit his post, add new posts and delete old ones, but there is no need for anyone to comment. Does anyone know of an existing script that does this? And if not can someone tell me what i should do to get started on this project.

any help would be MOST appreciated ?

@JonaMay 18.2004 — [font=arial]This is usually known as a CMS (content management system). You could try searching http://www.hotscripts.com/ and http://php.resourceindex.com/ to find such a script; I'm sure you'll find many of them.[/font]

If you need something more complex, then I agree

with Jona, you'll need to look into the site content management.

@akadisauthorMay 19.2004 — I ended up going with this one http://newswriter2005.sourceforge.net it was exactly what i was looking for.... ive installed it and fixed a few things with it (eg used erreg_replace so that you dont need to use the <br /> tags ) my only problem is that it's login uses GET and it should use POST, but when i change them (by editing the code or using mozilla firefox) - the login doesnt work at all....

see what i mean: http://www.literside.net/lite/test/news/admin.php

un: admin

pass: admin

i decided that it was too much code to post, so i copied the files and changed the .php files to .phps so you can view them ( and changed index.php to -index.php) http://www.literside.net/lite/test/news/news/

thanks in advance for any help

oh and BTW i know that it uses tables and that nothing is valid - im workin on it, i just wanted to get the php working first

@The_CheatMay 19.2004 — at the top of admin.php try changing:

$action = $_GET['action'];

$go = $_GET['go'];

$nr = $_GET['nr'];

$text = $_GET['text'];

$name = $_GET['name'];

$pass = $_GET['pass'];

to:

$action = $_POST['action'];

$go = $_POST['go'];

$nr = $_POST['nr'];

$text = $_POST['text'];

$name = $_POST['name'];

$pass = $_POST['pass'];


and in admin.php, in a text editor, search (CTRL+F) for "<form" (without quotes) and it should being up the line that looks like this:

<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="get">

change that to:

<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="[i]post[/i]">


I hope that works. I have never used this before so i cant tell you for sure.

@96turnerriMay 25.2004 — if you are using php < 4.1.0 you cant use $_POST you need to use $HTTP_POST_VARS instead, this is the only thing i can think of
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@The_CheatMay 25.2004 — nah thats not it because it worked fine before he changed it and the script had $_GET
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@96turnerriMay 25.2004 — bah thats true forgot $_GET come out with $_POST so if one works so does the other, hmmmm back to drawing board
