Greetings P2L friends,
Let me explain my problem. The person who runs the Cafe as depicted on THIS WEBSITE wants the ability to change his menu at his conviniece. The problem is, he doesnt know much about websites and all the stuff it takes to upload pages and change them, ect...
I'd like to make this as EASY as possible for him. But I am unsure of how to do so. So here I am looking for suggestions. I'm thinking that I would like him to be able to log-in to a back-bone page, see his menu, change what he needs, save it and everything is done. If I need to add something like iFrames to that page so theres a separate page he changes, thats fine. If the page is php, thats fine as well. But I am not sure how to go about getting it done. Any good scripts out there that could do this? PHP Nuke doesnt seem like it would work... but I dont know.
Any ideas? Did I make sense...?? Any ideas or suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated. Any questions, ask here I'll do my best to answer them.
Thanks guys

You could probably find a CMS on google that could do this. Mambo is one CMS i know of, but i'm not entirely aware of its capabilitys/useablity.
But i would suggest using PHP/MySQL, and having menu stored in the database. Then just make a form to modify the data in the database. If what i'm thinking is write, it shouldn't be to hard.
-moved to proper category.

Yes, you'll need to use a server side technology to make it easy to edit. Unfortunately, Mambo is big, bulky and i find hard to customise, so i wouldn't recommend, something like Etomite is nice and simple. But for a more simple UI, you'll need to hire someone to code one for you.

You could also learn to code a very simple CMS with a login system with THIS BOOK But I'm not sure if you have time to do that. What you could do is store the menu items in a database, code a login system (many PHP tutorials out there for that) and then apply the concepts from that to the menu part which would be a simple form with the link text in it.
