[PHP] Which CMS (if any) should I use for my application.

2003-03-18 Thread JawjB
I have spent 3 days looking at various CMS and template systems and seem to 
be getting nowhere.

I have looked at smarty, webditpro, phpcms, typo3, phportal, sitemanager, 
phpnuke, easysite and many others and clever and comprehensive as many of 
them are they seem too complicated for my needs.

I am not sure if I am missing the point of these programs and would 
appreciate if anyone thinks they can accomplish what I require.

As an example I want to offer customised web pages to say 'Car dealers'.

I want to offer a top,side and body frame and lead them through the creation 
step by step.
Step 1. Offer the top frame with color picker for background, or background 
image then allow addition of text for dealer name address etc.
Setp 2. Offer a selection of side bar buttons and styles. Most buttons will 
be similar such as 'Abourt Us', 'Contact', 'Car search' ,Car list', 
'Location' ,'Links' etc with some having pre defined actions ('search') and 
some where they can modify content. 
Step 3. Allow modification of content of the body pages using a WYSIWYG 
editor such as editise or htmlarea.

So no HTML knowledge to be needed, only uploads will be images to be used.

The main objects are
1. Simple to use with no support required.
2. Simple to use with no support required.
3. Simple to use with no support required.


I could put together what I outlined above quite easily in a few days but as 
with all projects things never quite stop where you intended.

No doubt users will then ask for different templates, exploding type menu 
lists, calendars, flash etc.

So basically I want a system which I can configure to my needs and know that 
added functionality is there when needed and I don't want to learn a whole 
new language.

Should I just do this myself ?

[PHP] Dynamic map tutorial wanted

2002-01-16 Thread JawjB


I am looking for a guide or tutorial (preferably not OO) to help me do the 
following.

A client views a map of a country and clicks on his location.
Location stored on database.

A visitor enters makes a selection (e.g. Hotels) then views a map of the 
country 
modified to reflect those locations (clickable hot spots with mouse over 
information highlighted)  that meet his needs.

This would mean either generating a map for every request or somehow 
overlaying the  country image.

There would appear to be many tutorials but I would appreciate a pointer to 
one which would be applicable to my needs.

[PHP] File Upload failing on Binary Files

2002-02-19 Thread JawjB

I can't upload images though text is ok. This worked on earlier version of 
PHP and I don't know whether it is php, apache, or linux at fault.

The post basic code is as per documented example.
test_load.htm






test_received.htm




Results
90k text - 30 seconds - ok
2k gif - 20 seconds - ok but very slow
6k gif - Never completes. 
No binary file greater than about 4k completes.

PHP 4.0..4pl1
Apache 1.3.12
Linux Redhat 7
