Hi All,
I'm after some advice. I maintain a website for a club I belong to. This
website requires a lot of updating with new event details, results and
anouncements. Currently, I am solely responsible for updating the website
with the appropriate information.

I do this by wirting HTML/Javascript files and simply uploading them using
an FTP client. However, What I'd like is for members of my club to be able
to update the website themselves, without me having to be involved. I can't
ask my fellow club members to write HTML and Javascript, so what I'd like is
a website that enables them to log in and update it through the website
itself, so that they don't have to write an code. I've seen things like
plone and wizziwig, but these look complicated to implement.

I assume that I'd need some sort of server side system for this. Can anybody
recommend a system or package that would allow this type of behaviour?.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

What you need is a content management system (CMS). There are a lot of
them out there. I've always felt this product was well done:

A CMS would work but might be too muich for what you need.
Try a blog. You can make users and give them permissions to post
or not, to comment or not etc.

I use and love b2evolution: http://b2evolution.net/

You can really customize it how you like. I have one site that doesn't even
look like a blog runs it but it does. Although it is still hidden for now Wink
Not ready yet...

Good luck,
Heidi

I quite simple bit of ASP would acheive what you're after.

If you can handle HTML and Javascript I dont think you'd have any trouble
with ASP. You can write it with Notepad or whatever you use to write your
HTML / Javascript. You can write simple forms which write back the user's
input to text files and/or database. There's plenty of ASP resources on
the web to get you started, or you could buy a book on it.

If I can get away with just writing scripts, that would be good. But whats
the difference between ASP and PHP?. I've seen lots of stuff on PHP and SQL
databases which might be what I'm after.

PHP is a scripting language.

ASP is an environment that provides access to system resources for
scripting languages running within it - most notably vbScript and
jScript.
