Hi,
I am also working on a project similar like this. I am creating a News
Module which will allow user to create their own pages and post it on web
with images chosen. Edit option also will be given to edit the content.
I thought of following options. Please note that I am not always sticking
to database option.
1. Display templates (may be according to Theme / Layout) to select and
display the form to fill up the content (database option can be
implemented). For non IT user this will be the simplest form and some sort
of customization is also possible by giving options like to choose color,
bold, style etc.
2.Give option something similar to Yahoo's Geocities. (please go to
http://geocities.yahoo.com - you may need to register). They have developed
something like PageBuilder, which is nothing but the applet I believe.
Where complete customize page can be created and loaded on the web.
Database option will be tedious.
3. OR as you said user can have his own page but then he has to mark it for
' edit content' purpose. If the user is using Dreamweaver then you do not
worry, it has a option like ' Create template' option and user can mark the
area as 'Editable'.
I am also interested in exploring more about it specially option 2, How to
do it and whether it will be very complicated ?
If you know any good portal which has something like Yahoo! Page Builder,
please let me know.
