Hello, I am thinking of starting to make websites for other people and I was wondering if any of you guys knew how I could create an administrators page inside it so that they can edit any news or things without having to go into all notepad files and manually editing them (I code using CSS and HTML) If anybody knows, please tell me how to do this! Many Thanks, Magestry
Easiest solution would be to use a CMS. Other options would be to use a server side language like PHP and create a login page and a form to add news to a file which is included into the site. Lots of options, more details would help.
Well, I would like them to be able to sign in and just be able to change like any page they want from one area, for instance if they want a photography website, they can easily add new photos or change some text in any of the pages on the website on a page on the website, if you understand... I dont know what else to say and also what is CMS?
conorod : Does that mean I have to change all the pages to PHP or just the administrators page be in PHP? If so any tips or tutorials on how to do this?
a CMS is a content management system. And I understand what you want, making it happen is an involved process. A CMS would be the best solution and probably the quickest. Wordpress would also work.
the best way of doing this is using CMS (Content Management System) as comented by shallowink.. you can joomla, drupal and many more open source cms available.. but you should have atleast some knowledge of PHP to work of these CMS's..
