    text updating script?

    Helloo!

    I am just wondering if it possible for somebody to either find me a script that will allow a client to update their own text on their website?

    Preferably something with a seperate page where they can type into a text box, click update, then it will update the main page.

    Im finding awkward to explain. Hopefully somebody will know what I mean.

    I think its a sort of CMS that im after.

    I think the best way to explain it would be when you update your myspace page?

    You fill in the text there, click submit and it updates your page.

    -------------------
    EDIT:

    Dont most CMS make you use a template, so thats how they work? If so, that isnt what im after.

    The text must be implemented into the website design that i create.

    ok, so build the cms into your template. something like Joomla! (CMS) or Worpress (Blog software) are easily skinable.

    Perhaps thats a route you could take?!?

    CuteNews from CutePHP is a news content management system. I have used it before! If you end up using it, and require help, let me know!

    Re: text updating script?

    yes of course you can!

    First off, if you really want to customise it, you can create your own templates for the news.

    Follow these simple instructions:

    1) log in as admin and go to options
    2) go to Create/Edit templates
    3) create a new template, call it whatever you like. base it on the default template

    4) once you have done that, go back and edit the Active News, by clicking the name. a text box will appear with the code used to display etc.

    You can edit this as much as you like, you can re-write it, using classes specified in your own stylesheet that is linked to the page the news is being displyed in.

    Once you have done all the editing etc, you can insert it into your page by using the intergration wizard which is also under the options page.

    This is a typical piece of code that you could use:

    PHP Code:
    <?PHP
    $number
    =5;
    $template="test";
    $only_active=TRUE;
    include(
    "pathofcutenews/thenewsfilehere.php");
    ?>
    Any more questions, simply post here!
    Regards,
    Zenax
