Hi Everyone -
I've got a client who wants to use Contribute for editing his site. Anyone
have any experience with it? I've looked at it, but not extensively. Is it
just a matter of configuring the roles, sending the key, etc.? Or does the
site have to have editable regions, templates, etc.?
Thanks for any input!
My experience of Contribute is that it works best on simple HTML
pages, with tables and images and links.
I think that templates are pretty much beyond it. If your user is
editing a set of pages that use templates, my choice would be to opt
for content management.
I have seen sites that are completely open, and the Contribute users
were trusted to only edit their own documents. My preference would
be to enforce protection, even though Contribute probably cannot edit
server-side code.
Purely personally, I would only have users edit simple pages whose
content may change often, and where the back-end is not capable of
handling them. One example that springs to mind is a 'contacts' page
of help desk staff. It still seems to occasionally get itself into a
tangle with styles.
Regards,
David
