I said I was going to create a CMS system my style for our Art Society well just for interest here is the Events page, It is waiting for Committee approval and comments but it gets the job done. I have links and other details to see to after the committee critiques it.
http://las.comli.com/events.php I have the newsletter editors page next to do and to teach our editor how to update it.
I used the full compliment of 4 image and 4 text positions, I thought that should be sufficient for most uses.

Anyway I did spruke it up and this is closure, I do finish what I start and claim to do.

Nice job, Prism!

A couple of things I noticed:

- Your 'Events' page is a .php file, but the links to this page are set to an .html file and take you to a page with empty boxes.
- Why are the images on the Events page defined as .txt files? They are also very large at about 250 kb each. Compressed jpg files at those pixel sizes would probably be about 25 kb each...
- A couple of typos on the Home page: 'Livepool' in the top banner, and 'existance' in first line of text.

Very nice Prism.:) I didn't get that far with mine. The concept is pretty simple and allows a person to update a site with out screwing things up.:lol:
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

This is a site I built for my work.(RSD)

You are right Per. I think I said I had to correct links. I used VSD for the page then opened it in the Editor to convert. I used VSD to upload the site but I have not adjusted links yet. The page is to show our Events Coordinator how to upload her info that she controls. We just purchased a mobile internet device and a Laptop for the society so this week I can have a hands on training session.

I am still working on the program, Long pages have to be accounted for as the Coordinate system works from screen top not page top. Only minor get onto it shortly. That's is the problem of programming in client side a serverside device. I will work it out.

div.ObjectImageA{ position:absolute; top:155px; left:55px; z-index:3; }
<div class="ObjectImageA"><img src="C01/image1" alt="" width="200" height="180"></div>
Header and body object Not a text object
The html does not contain info until it loads
<div class="Object"><img src="<?php Echo $image1;?>" alt="" width="200" height="189"></div>
Actual code inserted for image. I have to add a alt="" comment insertion.


I have found I do not have to specify the type of image and name the image as a plain name. For the script to work images are renamed image1 to image4 So any type is ok. the script reads the image as a file and delivers that to the variable that writes that file to the screen. No need to tell the Browser what type of image it is. Php trickery

I just uploaded the images did not resize, Free host plenty of bandwidth saved time. I shall set our member up with a resize utility.

Spelling! I may be an English Subject. That does not mean I can spell. No one spells like I does. I usually use Tiny spell when I thinks of it, trouble is I type faster than I think

To you Eric I am working on a better video explaining the process and to you Per if you want to test the system you are welcome.

Be warned that page of 4 images and 4 text positions has a html page and 4 complete html pages inserted by each of the php variables, not something normally done. But using the Browser as a program interpreter which it actually is, it has to work.
