Client needs to add and update newsletters

[lschafroth]

I am building a site for a client who creates weekly newletters. Their site will have a column down the left side that shows a date which is a link to the real file, then under that is a small sentence or two descirbing the letter for that week.

I was thinking they could ftp their documents to a certian directory they have access to and name the files by date.

I do not know how to accomplish the dynamic part of the page reading the filename, creating a title which is a link then putting a sentance or two under it.

I will also need a page that lets people choose past letters and review them.

Any ideas? The page is being built with FrontPage 2003 and hosted with a server with 2002 Extensions, ASP, PHOP and MySQL capabilities.

Thanks!

Hi, you could build a simple front end for the users which allows file upload. then, write some back-end code to populate your database and modify your web page to display the article titles and links dynamically.

You might not know how to do that today, but if you study the code already generated by FrontPage, you should be able to figure it out. It's not that difficult.

You might need to purchase (or your host might already provide) some type of file uploading component like ASPUpload.

If you need help, you can post something on our commercial exchange and people here can do it for you for a reasonable rate.

I am willing to pay someone for the code or point me to somewhere that hosts scripts so I don't have to reinvent the wheel so to speak. :)

That's definetly over my head at this point. Been years since I did any database work with asp.

I already have the upload feature working.

Thanks!
