roninmedia 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2004 Honestly, most CMS software out there like Mambo and PHPNuke are somewhat bulky and cluttered with many features that you won't need. A simply way around that is to use maybe a blog software (wordpress) and incorporate that into your site to maybe make it easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelp 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2004 What are you going to use it for? Is it going to be a community or a blog or what? I'd have to agree with the above user. If you just need something to publish information, like a blog, you don't need all that. If you need a CMS, go for Mambo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kc8yff 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2004 WordPress, Moveable Type, or Mambo should do the job. Except, WP and Mambo are the only two preinstalled ones on the Xisto server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kokushta 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2004 Hello again, please see this graphic and maybe see what I mean, to live modify parts of a webpage. Suppose I want to edit only the yellow parts. Let's say you have build the website and you want that someone you put in charge to do updates to the website, just by entering text and graphics.. and if you have to add a new page you simply use a template and create it within the site. Dont know if I am totally clear.. any help please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont know if I am totally clear.. any help please? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You seem clear enough, good idea using the picture. Well, are you willing to learn howto do this? Or would you consider the easy packages that have been said? Well if you want to learn this, then I'll explain the basics. You have your site setup how you want it. This will be called index.php <html> <head> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>This is the first row first column</td> </tr> <tr> <td>This is the second row first column</td> </tr> <tr> <td>This is the third row first column</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html> I seperated each part by a row just for simplicity sakes. Now the part I want to alter is the <td> tags. I create a text file that contains what information I want. call it first_text.txt: <td>This content has been added dynamically in the second row first column.</td> Now back to the code <html> <head> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>This is the first row first column</td> </tr> <tr> <?php include 'first_text.txt' ?> </tr> <tr> <td>This is the third row first column</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html> And when the PHP interpreter reads that, it'll look for first_text.txt in it's included directories on the server and include that text inside that file at that location. So the idea behind this is, if you have a template, seperate the content you want from the site and make adjustments to those files and then upload them, this is similar to how web based content managers work except they do it remotely. Also, make sure you check whether the file exists as well as telling the people viewing it a more friendlier error and maybe automatically notifying your webmaster about the problem. Otherwise you can use those packages if they seem easier. Cheers, MC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
