HTML - Automating Updates For Clients
Hi there,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I wasn't really sure where else to put it. Basically, I've been making an awful lot of websites lately for final year art students as a portfolio of their work. The majority of them want something extremely simple, typically with a collection of thumbnails linking to larger versions of work, a page of links, an about page etc.. The issue is, unless they're proficient with HTML and FTP, they can't update them that easily by themselves. So, on a hosting package without PHP, what's the best way I can automate the process of them being able to update their sites? Are there any good CMS platforms that don't require PHP? Thanks in advance, Jez Similar TutorialsSorry if this is in the wrong forum, i have a feeling it is. So you create a site for a client and that client has to update the page with whatever area they work in, maybe they work in real estate and have a new house on the market to add to the site etc.. Well i could easily write a php script that would add their content to the site, but i can image there could be errors somewhere down the line, what happens then, they phone you up to complan etc...? So what content modifying tools/script do you use? I was wondering if it's possible to automatically copy a file to a website from another site. The reason I ask, is the company I work for wishes to show the newsletters from their partner company but doesn't want to update their website after each letter. So, I know I can create a link to their site rather easily, but I'm wondering if it's possible to actually copy the files that are stored in .pdf format. how can i create a script/code to allow users to enter there email adress and that email address be saved to my yahoo adress book? Hi everyone, I have a website that I update a lot. Most browsers though, remember the contents of the page for fast viewing next time. My problem is that there are a lot of people who go to my site, and think there is nothing new, becasuse they are really seeing the unupdated version of the site... and they don't refresh. I know about the auto-refresh HTML code... but I don't think that would be the right way to go here. Does anyone know of anything else I could do? Thanks. I have a site that is rather large with several pages and files. It is an internal site for the company I work for. Some of the people who send me content to put on the site want to be able to make these updates themselves. None of them know much, if any, HTML or CSS. Is there any tool out there that can make it possible for them to updtate the site without adding a bunch of unecessary code to what is already there? I was looking into CMS applications (this was suggested to me last time I posted about this), but they seem to be applications that you have to build the site with, rather than take a site that already exists and modify. Thanks for any help! Hey guys, I'm trying to convert a website I work on www.darkregions.com so that certain sections (such as the news and new books sections) can be updated dynamically using an easy to use interface. The reason I'm doing this is because the owner of the business wants to be able to do some of the updates himself. What's a system/tool that I could achieve this with? I know it will require PHP/MySQL. Let me know what you guys think. I had this problem before with the Firefox coding incompatibility.. On my website, I post updates for all of the changes I make about each month. I tried to post an update today and I noticed that it wasn't showing up in Firefox. I brought my page up on Internet Explorer and it shows up just fine. Point and case, there's something wonky with my coding again that is angering Firefox and its refusing to show my updates. Here's the code. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Natalie's Cosplay</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <h1></h1> <div id="head-1" style="WIDTH: 401px; HEIGHT: 386px"></div> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm//index.htm"><font size="1">HOME</font></a></li> <li><font color="#000000" size="1"><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/Aboutme.html">ABOUT ME</font></a></li> <li><font color="#000000" size="1"><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/completed.html">COMPLETED COSTUMES</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/inprogress.html"><font color="#000000" size="1">IN</font><font color="#000000" size=1>-PROGRESS COSTUMES</a></font> </li> <li><font color="#000000" size="1"><a href="http://www.ultraguest.com/view/1180720057">GUESTBOOK</font></a></li> <li><font color="#000000" size="1"><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/links.html">RECOMMENDED SITES</font></a></li> <li class="last"><a href="MAILTO:Chinesefightinyo@aol.com"><font color="#000000" size="1">CONTACT ME</font></a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="body-left"> <h2><font color="#000000"><em><font color=#000000>G</font></em>al</font>lery</h2><br> Newest Costume: Songmage Rikku! <div id="gallery"> <div class="gal" id="gzero"><a href="http://geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/songmage.html"><img height="163" alt="Latest Costume: Songmage Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2/Original Artist Concept" src="bigsong.jpg" width="221" ></a></div> <div class="gal" id="gone"><img height="41" src="song1.jpg" width =57 ></a></div> <div class="gal" id="gtwo"><img height="41" src="song2.jpg" width =57 ></a></div> <div class="gal" id="gthree"><img height="41" src="song3.jpg" width =57 ></a></div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <table width="133" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center"><tr><td align="middle"><a href="http://www.website-hit-counters.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.website-hit-counters.com/cgi-bin/image.pl?URL=8421-4416" alt="free website hit counters service" border="0" ></a></td></tr><tr><td align="middle"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; COLOR: #24092c; FONT-FAMILY: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none">Get a <a href="http://www.website-hit-counters.com" target="_blank" style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; COLOR: #444444; FONT-FAMILY: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none" title="free website hit counter">free website hit counter</a> .</font></td></tr></table> </div> <div id="body-right"> <h2 align="left"><font color=#000000>W</font>elcome!</h2> <p align="center"> <br><font color="#000000" size="1">Please don't use any of my photos without asking!
