looking for EXTREMELY simple CMS for 3 text fields

z_a_double_k

Hello,

I am very new to php/mysql/etc. I would love to learn and get better with php but I am having a very hard time with alot of it.

All i want to do is have a CMS for editing like 3 or 4 text fields and NOTHING Else. Everything Ive found has all these other options that I do not need.

basically I want this

but instead of a flash image gallery i just want to be able to edit a few text fields.

the log in is very simple looking

is there like a package of files similar to this website that has all of the files made? where all i gotta do is implement it.

THANKS A TON FOR ANY HELP!

ok here is a link to a CMS i made for my self, cause i got sick of not being able to find one that worked the way i wanted it to.

it litteraly allows you to run a website using just textboxes and textareas to enter your content

the interface is much more simple than the others. it looks like it has a lot more options than i would even need.

to make sure we are on the same page with the general idea of what I am looking to do ill link to u what my idea is

basically i just want to make the "schedule" "news feed" and the "website updates" section to be able to be changed by a CMS. and thats about it, looks like id be able to do it with that. what do you think?

homer09001

thats simple to do, all you need to do is either:

1) store the info for each of the 3 parts in a single or individual txt files

2) store the info for each of the 3 parts in a db

then

create a html form with textarea's that are populated with the contents of the db or txt files.

then create a php script to save the changes

and use that stuff with a CMS? do u know of any tutorials for that?

im really a newb to php and stuff like this.

homer09001

does your host have php installed?

if so i will see what i can knock up.

z_a_double_k

yeah it must. i put

that gallery up from that php thing i installed and theres a forum on there too.

thanks for all your help! you're amazing lol

after your last message it makes a lot more sense.

i was going to go with the txt file method - seemed easier.

so im attempting to make a test of that first part

made 3 forms, put a text field in each.

now im lookin at how to make the form get that TXT file.

i think thatll be easy enough to figure out.

the hard part im guessing is the php admin/login stuff. which would give u the text fields to change and edit, then the php will update that text file.

i understand the concept now!

homer09001
