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.


Moved to PHP - Code

i dont want to use a content management system, i have made a template which my end user has chosen to use and they just need to be able to edit the content on each page as it may change without having to use html, or faffing with uploading etc..

hope you can help me :D

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..

just basically like any normal template with text on but needs the ability to change the text without messing with html/uploads.

i dont quite know how it will work but thats what i need it to do.

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 ..
