Hi Folks. I am fairly new to this so bear with me. What I would like to do it to create an area on a site I have created where users can do the following:
A. Upload (through a form i guess) some text about a seminar they are offering at a conference
B. Edit/delete what they have already uploaded.
C and for others to see the list of seminars etc.
This would mean some kind of login i guess and also a database of come kind also? Both of these are new to me as the sites I have done previously are all much simpler and have not needed these.
Any ideas and printers would be really welcome. I don’t even know what the correct term for these things! Thanks
To clear up my confusion: will files (Word documents, PDF files etc.) be uploaded to the site (and appear there as clickable links) or will only texts in this area have to be exchanged/updated…? That’s making a huge difference in the kind of solution you need.
Sorry for having to ask you again before eventually making a suggestion. But to clear the facts beforehand is important to not make suggestions which won’t fulfill your needs. So, you are talking about “users” (plural), which gives me the impression that you need some kind of user management. So it’s not only one or two persons which are able to edit the content (all using one password) but probably more, right? I’m asking since this makes a big difference…
No Worries about asking! And excuse my ignorance in know knowing about what information to give! I am talking about many users - like 80. These are delegates to a conference and their seminar presentations need to go on a website and ideally editable by themselves. Thanks for your time with this!. Peter
Ok Peter, then it’s absolutely clear: no plugin or stack for RapidWeaver will cover these requirements. But there is one external solution, which can quite easily be integrated in any RapidWeaver site. It’s called “SiteLok” and is available here: http://www.vibralogix.com/sitelokpw
For just 40 $ (one-time-cost) this solution is a steal in my opinion and if the feature set shouldn’t be enough, SiteLok can be extended with plugins for many purposes. No, I’m not related with this company…
Yep, the best would really be to talk with Adrian first (adrian at vibralogix dot com). But I’m quite confident that Sitelok will be able to do what manju69 needs. Back in March this year I updated Sitelok to the latest version and additionally bought the “UserFiles” plugin, so that my client (and his co-workers and some of his clients) are capable of uploading as much files as they want to make these available to others and vice versa. So, I think what the “naked” Sitelok might not be able to do can be refit with one or more of the many plugins available.
I did notice the upload plugin. Looks good.
My interpretation of what is required however, is that @manju69 needs the user to be able to edit content on the page as well as upload files…? I don’t know that sitelok can do this? Correct me if I’m wrong. Especially because I would love this feature!
Stackapps.info could possibly handle this though…
Hm, I don’t know if Sitelok is able to also edit content on a page. As you suggested it would be the best to ask Adrian first and ask him if Sitelok will meet the requirements.
