[56K WARN] Advanced Homepage wit NEWS 2.0

Post by themasterofthedisaster »

Hi, can somebody help me? What I need is to make a webside like this:

Image

Well, what I realy need is to make the News Box embedded into a webside.

The special thing is that the NewsBox Can be customizable by an Basic Webside Admin, someone who doesn´t know anything about programming and html.


Well, It should have an password message like this or in this way:

Image


And then the most important thing. Look at this image here:
Image

It will be used by someone who doesn't know anything about html so it should work like an known program like Microsoft Word, what I mean are the upper buttons to change the Font, Write in black, Underlie , change the font color, etc...

This here is a complete sample of functions:
Image

If you want to see this editor en action enter here ( http://www.rweb.co.nr ), register, and go to the editor.

Well and a Upload Image button won´t be bad.


All this in PHP, that's what my server supports. I have MYSQL, too. But if its possible to save the news in a .news or .txt or a diferent file on the server, thats better.

Thanks 4 all. (ViRuS)

...? Are you asking for a designer / developer / someone who knows what they're actually doing?

What is the point of this post, and what have you tried so far?

You need a user system and a WYSIWYG editor like FCKeditor. There's no magic, just programming.


And, for future reference, the word is website, not webside.

I´ve made the idea so far, now I´m searching [s]4[/s] for help. I don´t know many things about programing in PHP and programing using MYSQL. I can design the website later. Need somebody who can program this. It should be easy for an professional programmer, its quite simple, but I can´t. I´m new in PHP and I haven't many time to learn it! I´ll be grateful if somebody could help me or say me where can I download such a code. Thanks [s]4[/s] for all.


P.D: What is "[56K WARN]"????

If you trying to make an admin panel that anybody could add something thats fine. Someone without programming knowledge can administer it with a interface. The problem comes in when you want to start putting those word like icons in there. I do not believe you can do that with PHP. the best you could do would be to have the user create the image on their PC and then upload it to the server with an upload form. It shouldn't really be that hard.

The Theorie

Post by themasterofthedisaster »

Well, that´s the theorie anout how it should work with FCKEditor. I don´t know how the FCKEditor work. I´ve two theories of how it works. Is somebody able to programe this????

1.) Well, look at this image, this shuld be done in case FCKEditor saves the wroten text into a file with a "phpBB Code" like code, I've named the file .wysiwg but it can have an other name.

Image

2.) If FCKEditor while saving encodes the text and the content directly to html it should work so:

Image


I hope somebody can program this for me, I don´t know nothing about PHP so I will be grateful if somebody could help me.

Here you can download FCKEditor http://sourceforge.net/projects/fckeditor/

Start talking numbers, then. :P

FCKeditor isn't meant to use the little save feature. It's meant to be submitted as a simple text field that contains HTML, and treated like HTML text, then saved (usually) in a database.

My boss insisted on upgrading some of our clients to use FCKEditor in their admin systems. I hate it. The code it produces is absolutely horrible - completely non-compliant HTML with vile font tags all over the place. The pages with edited content in them will never appear in Google as a result of them being so revolting. The web is not the place for WYSIWYG editors. If you want a decent website then write a template system that limits people to editing text with some minimum formating.

Well, I use MYSQL so if somebody is able to, instead of save the edited text to a file, save it to the MYSQL database, why not? Maybe its better, but then you must say me what tables and so I must create in the database and how can I conect the FCK editor and the reader.php to the database???? Somebody can programm this for me??? and explain me what I have to do to make it work???

Thanks for all , ViRUS

You can't connect FCKEditor to anything on the server directly. It just doesn't work like that. In essence it's a replacement for <textarea> ... anything you can do with <textarea> you can do with FCKEditor.

Well, Thats what I mean, make a script to include the FCK editor (AND THE TEXTAREA) into the the editor.html file and make a script to save the "TEXTAREA" to a file or to the database to be loaded later by the reader.php file!! Is someone able to do that???

There's a lot more to it than simply saving the contents of the form containing an instance of FCKEditor. Handling file uploads, flash uploads, files, character encoding, configuring FCKEditor properly, correcting it's whacky path handling, etc is complicated. It's not helped by FCKEditor doing that stuff in a slightly cryptic way. You're actually asking for a heck of a lot from a volunteer. Maybe someone will step up and help you, but I wouldn't count on it.
