Multiple users?

Dear friends,
Before we update to RW7 we need to make sections of our site accessible to other editors. Is this possible?
Thank you

There is a number of Content Management Systems (CMS) available for RW.

Nimblehost’s Armadillo, Joe Workman’s Total and Easy CMS and Pulse are the three most used.

If you are asking if multiple people can work on a RapidWeaver project file at the same time, the answer is no. You could share this project file on a system like DropBox, and all of the people wanting to work on the file can access it that way, but they CAN NOT work on it at the same time. In fact, if you are going to use a system like DropBox, then I would follow what I wrote a year ago here:

Storing Rapidweaver sites on Dropbox

Realmac says you should not. They say it could corrupt your file. I have been doing this for over 4 years now, and have only had one corruption, and it was my fault, not dropbox’s. If you are going to do this, you have to be sure you follow these rules: NEVER have the file open on more than one machine at a time. NEVER allow two people to work on the same file at the same time. ALWAYS be sure your computer has synced completely with Dropbox before opening your file, EVEN if what is syncing…

Or you will run into a LOT of trouble with it. I share RapidWeaver files on dropbox with 4 computers, but I follow those rules to the letter and have only had 1 issue and it was because I did NOT follow those rules.

Now, if you mean once the project is done, can multiple people edit the content, then follow what Mark has said, use a CMS. I would suggest Total or Easy, but I work for Joe, so I am a little biased. :wink:

Good luck on your site!
