Hiya everybody!
I debated between posting this here, or at Carnival Isle. Forgive me if it should be elsewhere!
I'm looking to impliment a couple codes to Emerald Comics. One, which could load comic pages using navigational buttons (already made) and/or a drop down menu. The other code I'd like to use would allow artists to either log into, or access a password protected area where comic pages could be updated. For example, scripts could be downloaded, and artwork could be uploaded. [Trust me, it would be ever-more easier than email cooperation!]
I'm seeking help because I have no knowledge of PHP at all. I'm aware there are probably pre-written codes out there, but yet I am probably incapable of utilizing them properly!
If anybody is willing to lend me a technical hand, (or maybe I would need to "commission" somebody?) please reply here or send me a note at EthanDavis2010 [at] hotmail [dot] com and I can specify some more details!
Thank you much,
Ethan Davis
So... wait. You need a password protected area, and then like... a file uploader?
I'm no PHP expert, by far. My main thing is HTML, and I learn PHP on the side or re-tool prewritten PHP codes to my liking, but if you're willing to ghetto-rig this site of yours, you may be able to just find a JS uploader script, and a simple PHP password protect script, combine them together, and, well, off you go. Problem is, you'd have to code the uploader to each different user, and the ghetto-rigging part comes here: have a separate upload-page for each user directed to the directory they're going to be uploading to.
I know, I know. VERY ghetto. But it'll work. If'n you want easier, well... Vec's your guy, s'far as I know.
(1) I'd look around for some pre-made ones and compare them. Unless someone has time, that's what'll end up happening.
(2) If the pre-made script you choose doesn't account for this (and other than page layout, I have a feeling those scripts would), unless those that are working on the site are totally unused to using FTP, you could just create a couple of FTP accounts for everyone to use--separate from your own--to upload stuff.
