CanadianGuy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hi folks,My nephew requires a website for a graphic design course he is currently enrolled in. That hasn't been a problem as I've designed him a W3C strict compliant site for him. The site requires his resume, biography and samples of both his static and animated works. But (there's always a "but") he would like to be able to keep it updated himself. Not a big problem for his resume and biography as I've developed scripts that allow for a text file being opened, edited and then saved. And simply used php to include the text file where needed.But for his examples he would like to be able to upload his examples to youtube and then simply add links to his portfolio page. I'm just not sure how I would go about this. Is there any apps that can assit me here? I've seen online html editors such as Wyzz WYSIWYG and ckeditor but I believe these programms simply generate code for you that you save on your local machine and then its up to you to figure out how to get the file onto a web server.Any thought, suggestions or advice, as always is very welcomed.Cheers,Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 you could create an "admin" page for him which would consist of a form he could fill out, which would include a title, link, description, etc of the link he wants added which would then save the information in a DB. The links page would read these records from the DB and display them on the page, with all the above information displayed and formatted appropriately.

My work is in high demand because I work for free, not because of my extensive knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 do you know how to make forms with HTML and use those in conjunction with PHP/MySQL to save to a DB? If so, just make a him a page that does just that. Then use PHP in an HTML page to read the data from that table in the DB and have it display the content on the page.

Guest FirefoxRocks Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Or you can use a CMS if you don't think you can design something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
