Members login to unique members page
Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2009 11:35 pm
Hi there - I would very much appreciate pointers in the right direction here please and I understand if I am asking too much!.....- I build fairly basic websites for clients and dabble with PHP for email forms etc. however a client of mine has a business that has several members and they want to provide a service (webpage) where their members can 'login' and a page is then shown them specific to that member (with unique photos, text, forms etc). It's a property cleaning business for what it's worth.
I am guessing it could be built with a simple PHP login script - which also calls a unique ID? - that ID would be a unique page. However on that unique page I would also have global information across them all. (again - I am so new to php - that I am also assuming that this kind of global info should be pretty easy>??)
so questions:
1) Can you have a single "dynamic page" that pulls in images or text or forms depending on which ID has logged in? But also has static content and global content that would be the same across all. Can it be done in PHP?
(that Rather than build say 40 static pages for 40 members) - I am assuming yes - as i guess that's what every community based site is like?!
2) How then does the "copy" or "images" etc get updated for each unique ID. Could this be set up in turn by a dynamic CMS - Where I type in copy in say a html based CMS and pick the ID from the drop down that I want to be updated?
3) Finally - if "copy" IS modified for the unique ID - (by me the developer) can a email be sent to the member automatically informing them there member page has been updated?
That's it. So in a nutshell - the website owner can update those unique member pages via a CMS (update to unique member only or global) and in turn The member should log in and see updates to their unique page.
Thankyou thankyou - for your help in advance.
