Looking for a simple CMS

Kent_Wang

I've spent a couple of weeks looking at CMSs out there and they all seem to be geared towards creating "community" type sites.

All I want is a simple CMS that my clients can use to login and edit webpages I create for them. What I would like is a system where upon logging in, the user is presented with a list of pages or documents that they can open and edit. The CMS would only be used for editing. I will manually place database query calls to actually display the content of each page on the live website.

Does anyone know of any system like this?

I prefer solutions that use PHP and MySQL and are open-source.

Thanks!

You could do this with about 3 pages if you needed!

I just spent the last couple of hours doing something similar with flat file databases but the idea can be done with SQL databases.

Just read the content and put it into text box/es.
Upon clicking, the text box values are method=POST through tot he processing page where the original entry is deleted and the new one saved in.

I found that I couldn't delete the contenst of a flat file db so all I did was use a attribute that told PHP where to start the 'fwrite'ing. I told it to start at the begining of the file so anything afterwards woiuld be over written.

I can go into detail if you really want me to with source code (tested). Bearing in mind I don't have enormous experience with SQL db's.

Or...PM me and maybe we can come to an arrangement where I actually do this for you 🙂

I downloaded this one: htmleditbox but could not get it to work on my server. I don't know why it wouldn't work. As a test, I downloaded it on a different server any it worked. However, I can't get the admins on my server to look into the problem. Since they donate the server space, I can't complain too much.

I am pretty picky about certain things about how cms tools write their html output and this one comes pretty close to being clean. Some of them are pretty trashy.

There's lots of ways you can go about entering content. I find the best way is entering my own HTML and save in .txt then suing a SSI
