I would really appreciate some advice from anyone who has worked with or developed their own content management system.
This is my scenario, when i have finished creating a site, i want to be able to add in the CMS with a minimum amount of fuss. I want to be able to get the CMS to recognize all the tables and somehow allow me to set the tables and fields that the client can update safely (i.e. if it is an employment recruitment site then they will be able to add jobs but not job_id). This will save me so much time rather than having to handcode the CMS for every site. I think i have an answer to my problem, and would be interested to hear your opinion. When i install the CMS it will read the existing tables and create 2 new tables: CMS_TABLES cms_table_id(PK) cms_table_name cms_table_is_editable CMS_FIELDS cms_field_id(PK) cms_table_id(FK) cms_field_name cms_field_is_editable cms_field_type cms_field_size cms_field_is_primary_key As an administrator I will be able to set fields and tables which are editable. Now when i go to the database management page i can do 'SELECT * FROM CMS_FIELDS WHERE cms_table_id = '$_GET[table_id]' AND cms_field_editable = TRUE Also does anyone have any suggestions for editing static content? Any comments here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
