Updater

I fixing to start a site for a friend. He is a musician, and when he has a concert he wants to be able to update the site by himself. He doesnt know anything about html, or anything. So I was wondering, well let's start off with this.

1.Basically I need a some codes, Using DD's WYSIWYG editor to display the text to a page, just something real basic.
EXAMPLE: edit.php is the page with the WYSIWYG editor. when you click save it saves it to index.php. Mostly that's it.

2.When you open up the editor again I need it to show what is already on index.php

* Hope its not too confusing.
* I'm out for tonight. Little late in tennessee.
*Thanks for any help!

I suggest you store concert dates in a database and create a really simple interface.

Is it to big of a problem to make?

Ok Ok sorry to ask so many questions. Just got tons of ideas going through my head.
But could I not use Djr33's comment board and somehow redo some of the code to do what I need it to do?

Tell him to LEARN html.

Aside from that...

Sure, just use the comment thing. That does it well enough.

All you'd need to do is leave as is, and take out the part where it gets the current contents of the file and adds them to the new input... so it will replace the old with the new, rather than adding.

Seems like this should work.

Or just write your own...

a database would help.

take out the part where it gets the current contents of the file

Edit:Please note Im working on it right now. So if it does differently, give it a couple of secs, and it will work.

Anyone?

Ok, Never mind finally fiqured it out...
But now when I'm on add.php I can click enter on the keyboard and it drops but on the index.php page it doesnt. It just makes spaces. How can I fix that....

You have a textbox. You need to type html. a <br> will be a line break, whether it's on the same line, or after/before a return.

If you need to be able to do wysiwyg, instal the openwysiwyg editor to it, and be sure to, as I said in another thread, look at my thread at the top of the dd scripts forum for important fixes.

Seems like you mentioned that at the beginning... just didn't do it yet?
