Ability to update page content

Post by SiLvEr_SnAkE »

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before and sorry if its in the wrong place, and once more for the crappy subject title. :wink:.

I'm building a site and the end user needs to be able to easily update the content on each page without messing with HTML.

I am looking for a script or something in which i can place code on each page enabling the end user to edit the content.

Thanks,
Anthony.

Welcome to the board, yes this has been asked before.. search for CMS or Content Managment Systems.

you are describing a CMS.. maybe you want to use a bbcode like system? It depends on how you want formatting to be used/shown/implemented..

then you should consider a cms :lol: of course you can code your own little one to make it suitable to your customer, but it will be a cms in the end...

Hey,

Why not find a tutorial on add/edit/delete records .. I would also sugest you consider learning about functions as well.

Then the user will be able to modify records on the site .. And you will beable to modify the add/edit/delete into the site structure you have ..
