I wanted to get your opinion on how I can do a certain job better.
Well, here is what I'm trying to do.
O.K. I want to have an app that allows you to create a web page and add them onto your site without you even looking at the HTML.
So here it is.
First you come to a page that lets you choose between template 1 and 2.
Then when you have chosen the template you wanna work with (which by the way they will be similar)
You get to upload an image and then you get to type in a title then the content. After all that it asks you how many links you want this page to have. You can choose between 1 to 6 links on that page.
After you choose the links then you go and make those pages. You repeat that last process for the number of links you have chosen.
Is there a better way of doing something like this or do you have some advice that will help me out.
Thanks in advance
There are a lot of them out there, and there might even be some open source free scripts for them that can be modified.
There are several that do just what you're talking about, though finding an adequate 'upload' feature integrated within a free pre-written script is kind of tough. Most freebie upload scripts are flawed and insecure. There are separate mods available, however, that are more sophisticated.
If you're experienced in writing Perl scripts (I'm assuming you'd use one of the Perl cgi's and modify - another language - you'd do what's appropriate) you could write your own or have someone write a mod for that function.
You could offer a separate upload page with a separate upload script, define the destination, and let them upload that way, too. But it's simpler for the user to get your form input and upload fields on one page (create new page form), if you can do it.
