Create a site for downloading patches to clients

Post by pdp8e »

Hi,

Though not a real php/web programmer (the REAL one left) I have been asked to head up a project to build a website that will allow our customers to download patches or programs into a device we sell (a controller similar to a watlow or iomega, -etc).

Is there a 'kit' that i can give to a programmer that will allow her to do this?
(dont want to reinvent 37 wheels)

I know this is a vague-ish request and alot of the implementaion hinges on the details (what the heck is inside the controller, -etc)

Maybe the best I can ask: 'Is there a roadmap for me to follow?'

Thanks !

I suppose you wouldn't be responsibly for actually coding the patches, hmm? ;-)

It sounds like you need a simple CMS with file attachment functionality. You could theoretically do it without any programming at all (just a bunch of HTML pages with links to the patches). I suggest you toy around with a pre-canned CMS like Drupal and see if it can get what you want.
