Re: Info on dynamic content updating

This touches on something I've been thinking about. It would include a
bit of SSI, and the customer running a "click-it" program when through.
Basically, the customer would type stuffs into a txt file, and all \n
characters would be converted to </p><p>. There's a lot more to it than
that (remember the SSI comment) but it would make a very clean content
generation system. By my current design methodology, it would run as an
MSOffice app, but could be adopted to others, even just notepad. Does
that sound like an idea worth working on? I already made something
slightly similar for a client who wanted to do her own database
updating, so I know it kind-of works.

Subject: Info on dynamic content updating


| Hi All
|
| On the Internet, content is everything but keeping it fresh isn't
always
| easy. I'm looking for information and/or products that will do the
| following (doesn't have to be the same product):
|
| Dynamically update content by a non-techie client, inputting info into
an
| easy to use interface with no HTML involved. To add the same content
or
| reference to the content on several pages from one location. For
example a
| disclaimer found on multiple pages or update the about page content
without
| touching HTML.
|
| Being able to add new content while older content is automatically
archived
| (older articles while not highlighted still available through links).
To
| allow access by specific multiple users to cut & paste their content
into
| the right area without having to include HTML codes for such things as
| paragraph separations. For example, different departments of a non
profit
| organization updating their own sections with new articles.
|
| The product(s) needs to be able to run on any UNIX (preferred over NT
but
| doable) hosted server without requiring mass amounts of mb space or
| bandwidth to implement or require additional software to run (Pearl is
not
| considered additional software). Not require a programmer degree to
set up
| and implement and be able to work within whatever web (graphic) design
plan
| for the site.  Plus be affordable for small businesses, especially
those who
| are not using their site to sell products but to initiate contact of
| potential new clients and/or distribute information (i.e. site is not
| creating direct revenue to justify higher costs).
|
| Any suggestion or info you can give me would greatly be appreciated,
|
| Alyx
