online cms

[acrikey]

Ok wound up now. I have been working on this cms thing all day. It's now late and I'm irritated. I have tryied nearly all the ones out there even the ones provided by my provider. Had enough. Is their anyone who could build me one like the one here theirs is easy to use for the customers pov and obvious. If someone is willing please message me and we'll take further.

Many thanks

Mate, nobody is gonna build you anything anywhere near as good as moonfruit for anything less than a small fortune and it should take you much longer than a day to make your mind up.

I have my own CMS and if you explain what you need I may be able to point you in the right direction...

All I want its to have a login on 1 particulate page on my site that the customer can login and edit the text. in a particular frame. Doable or impractical?

Your first post... I agree with Spinal.

Your second. I say take a look at Textile and PHP basics.

[acrikey]

ok, lost on textile, it seems to me a text to html converter

[Ryan Fait]

That's what it is. It's a PHP class file that will make your CMS validate in HTML. Just download it and tinker.

[acrikey]

ok being very slow here, I have noting to validate yet. My canvass is blank.

[acrikey]

Just to make sure we on the same point. I have the page live, I want the customer to login and edit. What he edits will be posted live without me uploading for him. If you're there please except my apologies just thought I'd check.

I suggest you look at a freelance design site to find a programmer to create a CMS for you. You appear to be completely blank when suggestions are offered, and locating a paid service will undoubtedly be more effective than a free one.

I'm sorry I have just no idea how to start that is all

Hi Key,
I think the problem here is that I have a formal PHP frame of reference, while you have something in mind in another frame of reference. Like we are running different software. Linking to Moonware is not a big help, since I immediately see this massive, sophisticated collection of code that would take about a year for me to reverse engineer (assuming I even have the skills).

Okay, here's what I read from your posts that you want.

1) User navigates to a page, using a static (html) link, with the page title ___________. The user sees a content page (rather than just a login form).
2) User logs in with a username and pw.
3) The user sees _____________ (fill in the blank)
4) The user can edit _____________________. This is then uploaded automatically to the file and displayed in the following format: ___________________.

Please understand, I'm trying to help you out. The "job specs" are just too vague.

[spinal007]

This forum is full of developers who make this stuff, but not for free.

We can help you put your specs together, then feel free to post on our Jobs forum, Freelancers.net and I'm sure somebody will take it on. It's not rocket science...

Also, sieve through these:

1)General User navigates to a page, using a static (html) link, with the page title ournews.html. The user sees a content page (rather than just a login form).
2) Special User logs in with a username and pw.
3) The user sees same content as ournews.html
4) The user can edit ournews.html.This is then uploaded automatically to the file and displayed in the following format: html

I realise some of the above would have to be php, I'm presuming the editable one. The login I can deal with, thats the easier bit. Just the editing php page baffles me.
I don't mean to wind people up it's just I'm new to this game and am slowly getting my head round the amount of info I have to learn. I can't see my desk with the amount of books on it.

so all you want is a simple one page news archive? You don't need to pay, there are tons of free ones out there. CMS implies a lot more functionality you don't need so don't go waving that word about.

You won't wind anyone up. You've been perfectly reasonable, only not entirely clear about what you can do and what you were trying to achieve. But that just comes with time and thousands of forum posts...

If you can handle login, then all you need is to be able to read and write files.
See:

(searched for "php write file" and "php read file")

Contact me if you still can't find someone and I can put something together in ASP. I'm not promising anything (very busy month)...
