A local arts co-op has asked us to find a script that would allow artists
to add their profiles to the co-op website automatically. I've had no luck whatsoever in finding this kind of script, after looking at many dozens in the archives. Here is their request:

-- The artist registers with a username/password;

-- They then fill out a pre-configured online form that collects certain
information (name, address, url, email, biz name, type of work, etc);

-- That information is submitted and is automatically written to an
html template page on the co-op site;

-- The hyperlinked name of the person is automatically added to an
"Our Members" page which is available for the general public to view
(does not require login!);

-- When any site visitor clicks a name on the "Our Members" page
above, all the information submitted via the form is viewable (also does not
require login);

-- An email is sent to the co-op manager whenever new information is posted;

-- The member can login at any time to edit/update their own profile info using their username/pwd.

There are numerous "member manager" type scripts, but they all seem to assume that member data should be hidden in a protected area of the site. That is not necessary for a directory of artists who *want* people to view their info.

If anyone knows of any script like this -- in perl or php -- please
let me know -- it's driving me nuts not to find it! Thanks...

You might be better off "rolling your own". Sounds like a pretty simple script.

Thanks volatilegx and yes, that is very good advice (if only I could write perl!). I had a very kind gent contact me offline and offer to help, so with his generous assistance this quest of mine finally came to a fruitful conclusion...
