I've been creating websites for people alot and most of the time when its a small business there is no need to use a full blown CMS. So I wrote this script to allow people to edit the content of their site if need be without me having to use a full-blown CMS to do it. It works by placing formatted comments before and after sections of the page you want to allow the users to load into the editor.

Heres a demo:

Username : test
Password : tester

the pages you can edit from within the demo are

A couple things:

I didn't test it in IE, but in FF the window has a horizontal scroll bar. Second of all, the boxes float way right. Third, it was a bit confusing, I didn't see that each box has it's own submit button. You should change that so all the boxes are updated under one single submit button. It's a little misleading. Someone might write out huge messages for each section, and hit the bottom submit button not knowing that they are only updating the one section. They might lose data. It's more of a user accessibility issue than anything. Just something to think about. Other than that, it seems fine.

I couldn't edit anything, I selected an option from the combo box but nothing happened, even when I enabled scripting.

I'll take a look at changing some things up. What screen resolution are you viewing it at if I may ask? because Ive used 1024x768 and higher and FF2.0 and Ive never had a scroll bar, but it shouldn't be too much to fix.

And I really have no Idea what would cause this.

It works great on IE for me.

MicDareall · Jun 25th, 2007, 3:08 AM

Its updated and should not have any horizontal scrolling now on any of the pages.

Now I'm going to attempt and rewrite it to save all instead of individual sections..

Hey, I like that.

The advantages of CMS are, of course, allowing the user to edit their site without having to phone you up, so this small version is really good.

Thanks.
