I think this requires customization on your end ...

I had to customized mine so that it would grabs all the information from a database, therefore it knows which pages to display and save from each page's ID # ...

If you are editing static pages in a folder, then I think you might have to create an interface to display these html files, set a variable for each file, like use the file name as the variable, then create an edit function that will identify each page by the variables that is set for it, pass the variable to the editor so it will know which page to pull up and save ..

I'm sure there's alot more to it, but this is just off the top of my head ...

Hope that helps :)

 

 

I would like to help you, but unfortunately what your are asking seems more complicated then simple coding ... Based on what you described, I think you will need to create a visual interface for your clients before you can even start implenting your editor ... I mean, how are you setting up your editor so that clients can choose a page to edit??? did you create an interface that pulls and displays the pages in a specific clients folder??? Did you create an edit function so that the editor will know which page it is pulling and which page it is saving??? Is what you are creating requires authentication to access??? Will this be setup online so your clients can access it the editor anywhere, or is it just for intranet access only???

This is why Adam ask you if you had done any ASP coding because what you are asking requires some fairly advance knowledge .... 

Sorry I can't be any help...

Hmmm... I was thinking of an entire CMS, but yours doesn't seem that complex ... How are your clients accessing the editor?? Is through a link you provide ???  If so, then create a function to replace that link so that it can pass an identifier for your pages ...

 

For example, create a script to loop through your HTML directory that will display anything that has the .html or .htm extension. For each of the page you loop through, set a identifier for it. Let's say, if your page is Home.html, then set a new variable, lets say page_name = the name of the file... This could be tricky if you have files with space in them, you will have to replace the spaces with %20, and sor forth with ' or "  .... In that loop, create an edit link or button that will refer to all the identifiers you want for that page ... So the links i guess would be editor.asp?page_name=Home.html ... Set in your editor file the script to catch the page_name variable, whether it is in a form or a link you will have to use either a request.form or request.quertystring depending on how you want to pass your page_name variable ...

You will have to do the same with the Save function so it will know which page to save it to ...

This is of course based on my assumption of how the editor works when calling from files instead of DB content. I might be a bit off, but I am sure the general idea is the same ...

 

 

Hi,

 

How familiar are you with Macromedia Dreamweaver and the "update" server behavior? 

If you can create a database table to store the data and a page to view/edit the contents, I can help you with the code you need to get the content back into the database. You can use an Access or SQL server db.

Can you write a page in asp vbscript that will retrieve a recordset from a database and place it into a form and then write it back to the database with a submit function?  (Macromedia Dreamweaver writes this in a few clicks of a mouse.)

If so, I think I can give you the code you need. Adam has some examples of entering information into a database in the samples, but what I am doing is actually retrieving the html content from the db table cells, editing the content if needed and then writing it back into the same cells again. If this sounds like what you want to do, let me know. However, my code is written around the Macromedia server behaviors which are based on vbscript.

 

In my site there are two pages, one which "edits" the content and one that "displays" the stored recordset on the page in html code.

 

If this sounds like what you want to do, let me know. However, my code is written around the Macromedia server behaviors which are in vbscript.

;;;still somewhat fuzzy on the database/asp/vb thing..

 

I am new to Cute Soft but am an ASP guy, what do you need to know?  For non Cute Soft issues that are database/asp/vbScript related visit p2p.wrox.com.  This is the best ASP forum going round with a solid group of senior member that are very helpful.  Probably best we have ASP related discussions there.
