James… what I generally do is:

 

a)       text field where they enter the URL- required

b)       a link title (text field) required

c)       a short description (textarea) optional

 

This would then output on the public site as:

 

This is my link title

www.link.com

This is a short description to tell the user what they should expect by clicking the link.

Subject: [ cf-dev ] User adding their own links - Suggestions

 

Afternoon everyone,

 

I've been asked to create a few pages for a client which will allow them to add/edit/delete a list of 'useful' links on another page.

 

I'm sure this is a very common request but I was wonder what the best way of creating such a system would be. Any recommendations?

 

The clients who will be using this are completely non-technical/HTML users so the system has to be very simple.

 

Can they simply just add http://www.macromedia.com to a text field and that would do the trick OR is there something I should be aware of by doing it this way?

 

Appreciate your feedback.

 

Cheers,

JamesB
