I use Dreamweaver and host on Linux Servers.
I have seen sites which have "ADMIN PANELS", which basically allow a user logging in (picture my grandmother please) to edit certain sections [most] of each page...primarliy text but photos could be inserted too.
I want to build a site using Dreamwearver for my grandmother (who is capable of learning MS WORD). I would like her to be able to log in and edit each page as she pleases, rather than emailing me changes.
So, I am looking for something easy to intall and easy to use so she can edit her own web pages. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Please "Keep it Simple" as I am only slightly more advanced than my grandmother. Thank you.
Since you are using Dreamweaver, Macromedia makes a product called Contribute which may be exactly what you are looking for...

So, I downloaded Contenteditable". How do I find out the path to my "Perl Interpreter". I have a cgi-bin folder but no Perl folder. My host advertises PERL on Linux.
Thank you!
In my searches for an answer I found [snip] and they have a installer.cgi that you upload to your cgi-bin and then when you access it, it is supposed to install. I get the same error as above. I know nothing about permissions though I do have WSFTP. I am only guessing, but does it have to do with permissions. If so I am in a area I know nothing about. Is there a simple solution?
Thank you in advance!

For Contenteditable I can only say read read and read the directions again and again.
The snag was when they say "upload this env.cgi file to your cgi folder". It tells you your DOCUMENT_ROOT. It never worked in there and when I uploaded env.cgi to my root directory it worked...I could see the information using the browser that I could not see when it was in the cgi-bin. However, the editor.cgi DOES need to go in your cgi folder, as perscribed in README file. Don't forget either rename your "cgi-bin" folder to "cgi" or edit the paths in your code. In other words they say paste "<SCRIPT language=javascript src="/cgi/editor.cgi?prompt"></SCRIPT> in your <HEAD> tag. I just needed to change cgi to cgi-bin for it to work for me.
I never did get EDITWRX installed but am determined to find out what I am doing wrong and will post when I do. It also looks good.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
"Download the current EditWrx from the [snip] and install the Shareware version contained in that zip. Test and verify that EditWrx will run on your server and suits your needs."
[snip] was great...and I am very please with the end result. Thanks for the tip!
