Easily editing content

[Jon101]

Im going nuts over here... im about to pull out my hair!

I cant figure out, for the life of me, how to make a simple system where a client can edit news and events... i tried using joomla and serendipity... maybe i dont need to get so complicated???


Thanks so much!

Short answer is some sort of CMS.
Those you mentioned will work, though may be perhaps too bloated.
You could write one yourself in PHP using either mysql or flat files.
Take a look at the tutorial here:
http://php-mysql-tutorial.com
Or, if it really is simple, go with flat files. Look up using file_get_contentS(), fopen(), fwrite(), and fclose() on www.php.net

Alright, i checked out http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/cms-php-mysql.php and i seem to be stuck...
im not sure what needs to go into the DB and im not sure which code needs to go onto the page -
I never did DB Development before so im sorry if this is a dumb question.


You said that the above would work, but are they able to have certain parts of them embeded into another page... like just news or events rather than the whole joomla site?


Thanks for all the help!
