I am looking to create a admin interface where the user can create and edit pages say for example in a mywebsite.com/usersdomain without them needing to gain access to the cpanel. How would I go about doing this, any suggestions or tutorials?
If you have a system like WordPress or Joomla they can create pages on the website... or do you need them to be able to upload html pages?
You can use CMS & Yes it can be done manually you just have to know php and mysql then make functions to edit the Pages .
You may also want to check some of the dhtml/ajax tutorials as well that allows users to edit a page directly in their browser in real time versus a full complete CMS. While you would still need to integrate a login system using some sort of dynamic code (php, asp, cgi, etc) but it may be just as easy. I would think it depends on your approach and knowledge. Let us know and I could help with some examples.
That was my aim rather than utilizing a CMS. I was also intending to intergrate a login system as well as a form of dynamic code that would be able to create a subfolder and defualt pages. Pretty much a site within a site, which when created it would also create a member system unique to that subfolder.The idea is greatly out of my reach and time consuming especially since its just me at the moment but that is what I am hoping to achieve.
