Newbie Question: Templates - How Do I get A News Post?
Posted: Wed Jan 08, 2003 2:37 am
Ok, got my templates all made in Dreamweaver 4, they look snazzy, now, I got a nice empty middle spot between two great menus, under a lovely header with an additional menu (menu's are in this time of year, you can never have too many!), and a great old fasioned text only footer (some java scripting to shnazzy it up down there a bit, but no images... just legal beagle bs and easy links).
I want that afformentioned nice empty middle part (named "center" in the template) to be filled with a news poster.
I've found several codes that half work before crashing, or are too insecure that it leaves things open to tampering. Without resorting to PHP Nuke (*shudder*, all the same identical sites with different colors and graphics... scary stuff!!!), or taking some code off of a website (which is lamer than anything in the world). I would love to create a news poster, with administrative functions and user comments. I dont want any free open source, pre-fab news posters... I want to know how to make one my self, and, seeing as some of the best programmers out there flock to this place (as I've seen from other lacksidasical forums) I thought it would be the most logical and educationally profitable thing to do and post my needs and questions here...
So...
In a brief tutorial with good explanations and database creation instructions I would like a PHP News Poster. You can direct me to tutorials, but I'm sure, beyond sureness that I've seen them all before...
Thanks in advance, and hopefully I wont be asking newbie questions much longer...
Cheers,
