Very simple CMS question hopefully!?

[discokid]

Hi guys, first off apologies if this is not the right forum for the question..

Basically I'm a CMS newbie, but all I want to use it for is to edit the text in a single div on only one page of my site. Everything else on the site is to remain static and uneditable.

So.. how do I go about making this div editable within a CMS? Are there tags I need to embed in the page? I assume I don't need to use a template for the whole site just for this one page?

Thanks.

well, is a CMS not a little oversized for a editable div...
write one single php script and its done....


what do you think??

[kermit]

ya, maybe a little overkill for one section of a single page...

take a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/editthispagephp/

Hey guys, thanks for that - looks like a very handy script. However I've taken a look at it and it doesn't really provide the flexibility/usability that the CMS WYSIWYG editor provides.

I should have elaborated a bit in my original question: the user who will be editing has no HTML/CSS clue, so it needs to be as simple as possible. There is also a possibility that pages will be added that will require editing in the future. I'm thinking I should maybe just make a template for the page in question (or any additional pages that need editing) and keep the rest of the site 'non-CMS'. What do you think?

Make your static pages then use the CMSMS to add content making the static pages Content Type: link linking to your static pages...

Of course you will have to add to/rework your static menus every time a new page is added, the main reason I went with a CMS in the first place, I got tired of changing the menu in 15 > 50 pages of hand coded sites...

Hello,

all I want to use it for is to edit the text in a single div on only one page of my site. Everything else on the site is to remain static and uneditable.

Try to give as few rights as possible and try this from the sample content :

Code: Select all

{content block='block name' oneline=true}

Or try a GCB.
