Hi.. Stupid question for ya all.. I'm working on a redesign of a website from scratch and its for an older couple who frankly don't know the ins-n-outs of HTML or markup and I would like to allow a feature on this site so that they can essentially login via a login page (that's where UserSpice would come in) and edit ONE file using something like TinyMCE -- save it and it writes it out as HTML into a specific file which will be included as a sort of blog entry on their homepage for the site. What I'm wondering is whether UserSpice would work for this sort of application. I had looked into various flat-file CMS's but decided that they were way overkill for what I need.
Basically, I just need some way to authenticate a user and give them access to alter one file thru a browser based WYSIWYG editor. That's pretty much it.. thoughts? Seems like UserSpice would be great for this..
Yes. Should not be a problem. What format do you need the file to be? Any reason you couldn't store the information in the db?
Ok.. My installation problem is a permission problem.. I don't know where though.. This is on a Mac (OSX) and I'm using MAMP. I've opened up the entire htdocs path to be writable for now -- all the way down to the users/init.php but the file never gets written to.. Ugg.. I see no errors written out to the php log though except the above that comes once and only once. Any ideas? I did verify that MAMP is using my account for running Apache so all should be good...
Maybe someone can show me what the init.php login creds look like for a valid installation so I can do it by hand.. I've got no clue why MAMP is upset..
ok.. Thanks.. I was, with your help, able to get it up and running.. Ugg.. I've got no idea why it didn't want to work -- you're I'm sure correct -- it was some sort of odd Mac permissions thing. All is good now.. Thank you!
Hey.. Thanks.. That sounds almost too simple!! I'll check it out. What I suggested to them is a sort of minimalistic blog sort of thing -- this is for a faith based ministry -- they travel a lot and want to let their supporters know where they've been and what they're doing. Thinking upon it further though, they may want this part of it to be perhaps a limited "teaser" entry and a more in-depth entry elsewhere within the system -- I'll have to ferret that out as I move towards implementation..
Is there any "textual" limit to the length of the profile on a user? In this case they would be pushing down/adding on top new "blog" entries with associated dates and perhaps a brief entry with maybe a picture and/or a link to a gallery entry for a particular trip. Because of the embedded links or desire to have an image, perhaps it might not be best for the profile -- but perhaps US doesn't care whether there are image(s)/links in that content.. I've not had enough time to check it out. Thanks! This actually sounds pretty darned straightforward!
PS. I think I saw somewhere in the settings that US uses Bootstrap? I'm using Bootstrap 3.x for now (not alpha 4) -- is that going to pose any compatibility issues with US?
Thanks again!!
