Hello Stack community I m deepak a fellow user of your site.
My question to you was regarding and online WYSIWYG editor, as i wanted to develop a website for a client which is an e-commerce site(dynamic) so I started working on "opencart" and many other tools like "nopcommerce" which haves cart,email notification,sms api and indian currency option available to that particular tool if not then can be integrated later on.
Now the client is in need of a show-off e-commerce site which have the advance views like parallax scrolling if not then extra views to be added which is most likely to be seen in an static show-off site with basic features of email and sms api to be included in the website
I started using template and dreamweaver to work on but I was unable to do so as I don't know about any standalone cart software which can be integrated to a live website or template so i moved on to Drag n Drop website editor which haves indian currency like "wix" but due to some reasons i was limited by the features of "wix"
I wanted to know what are the other option would I have now as the most of the time has passed out and the client want the site to be live in faster basis,
so I am requesting an answer of what to do now is there any other editor like "wix" which have all the three functions (sms api, email notifications,indian currency) available or any other way of using tools, template, software or something like "open cart" or dreamweaver/template if any or else do i have an option to edit the whole view of open cart as I want to edit all the basic structure of open cart and change the colour theme of open cart from blue to orange, if yes then how ?
I hope that i would get the answer or help what i m looking for in community

I'm working on a new project where I'd like users to be able to add content. The site is a project collaboration site where users can, sign up and create a profile, post a project idea (give it a name, some details and upload a couple of pictures, etc.), and hit a create button. The project would then be featured as a thumbnail on a Projects page where others could comment on the project and review the submitted idea.
Would a CMS be suitable for an application such as this? The user content would be added on the front end, so users wouldn't necessarily be able to access the control panel to add content so I'm not sure if a CMS would work or not.
I was taking a look at PyroCMS as I have some familiarity with PHP and CI but I don't know if this would fit the bill.
Any thoughts? Thank you!
This is absolutely doable with Pyro CMS Pro or by adding on the Streams extension. That would allow you to create the front-facing pages without any programming. You can create any number of custom fields to allow this.
Is it possible to integrate Mailchimp Drag & Drop editor to my webpage? (http://blog.mailchimp.com/introducing-mailchimps-new-editor/) In my website users need to design a Email template & i need one drag & drop editor exactly like MailChimp. Does mailchimp provide any widget or something that i can use in my website to get that editor integrated into my website? (I already googled a lot reg the same, could'nt find anything like it)
did you find something similar?
I'm afraid that it's not possible to use MailChimp editor in your own web....
It seems to me one of the best email template editor around,
The only idea I had is to let my customer use Mailchimp and export it into my web application.
Not quite the same but...
I recently started learning about drupal integration and because I wanted to learn how to create sites that I give to people with no html experience who want to be able to update their site. Through my research I learned that Drupal is the best supported CMS. It really does have a lot of nice features and accomplishes the job, but it almost has too many features for what I want.
I'm assuming there is some kind of open-source software for
I am an aspiring web developer trying to build my portfolio/gain experience. What I've been trying to do is build sites for clients that I can lose complete contact with--so when their store hours change and they have no HTML experience, I get emails about updating their site.
I figure there are three approaches: (tell me if there are more)
I write a php app that allows them to edit their site
I use a CMS (Drupal) to let them edit their site
I write scripts that embed text files formatted with {white-space: pre;}
I've so far implemented each method on 3 different sites, and they all work with drawbacks. I would prefer an open-source alternative to writing my own app for stability/security. Drupal seems more oriented towards allowing multiple users to add content, whereas I only want one user update existing content. The third option works well for computer-literate clients, but anyone who can navigate onto their server to change the file could probably figure out how to update the site without any of these approaches.
To sum up my problem, can anyone tell me the term I am looking for? Content Management System refers to the site framework for sites with a growing number of content posts (correct me if I'm wrong). What is the term for the site framework for editing sites with predefined but editable pages? If you could please tell me that, then I can at least research this question on my own. Otherwise, if you have any advice or solutions, they are much appreciated!
Thanks
user1470887, you've asked a great question. The answer, unfortunately, is that too many of the existing CMS products overlook this use case. It doesn't have an exact name as far as I know.
The term "in-place editing" describes one version of this (user clicks text on web page, block of text becomes a form, user edits contents and presses submit button, new text is sent to webserver and saved, and the form becomes normal text again). But I gather you would be happy with anything that lets them edit-existing but not create-new.
I'm also guessing you don't want to build your own Drupal module or commission one.
I do not know Drupal well enough to know whether there's a Drupal module that meets your needs. I'd recommend a careful search, though, especially if you are already somewhat familiar with Drupal. (Yes, Drupal can seem like too much CMS at times.)
However ... if you can't find a Drupal solution or want an alternative to Drupal, MODX Revolution does have an answer: set it up and then install Bob Ray's NewsPublisher add-on. It will put an "edit" button on pages which a user has the right to edit, but not on pages where they don't have edit rights. (And of course users will only be able to edit the title, body content etc - not the entire page.)
Bob Ray has literally written the book on MODX (MODX: The Official Guide). I was able to successfully adapt NewsPublisher to a project last year similar to what you have described, with predefined pages that the user would only need to edit over time. The latest NewsPublisher version, untested by me, is said to be further improved and can now be styled much more easily using CSS. That should allow you to give your users a customised and consistent interface.
As andmag also notes, MODX is a very flexible system for web developers focused on the presentation layer. It has the best templating system going.
I'll recomend you to try MODX. It gives you big flexibility to run your php or html code.
Is there an existing CMS similar to what the WebPage Maker software can do? For those who don't know what WebPage Maker is, it's a webpage authoring software that features drag and drop functionality which allows users with minimal to no knowledge about HTML, to easily create webpages and publish it to their sites. I want to know if there's a CMS that does the same as this software already?
WebPage Maker's website is http://www.webpage-maker.com/
P.S.
I'm looking for something that I can implement on websites that I make.
You can give mojomotor a try.. It is a paid one. You need to login as admin and then click on the page and edit. The same is possible for small layout changes too.
If you willing to learn some basic installation of other CMS rather than webpage maker, i suggest you use Joomla CMS.
http://www.joomla.org/
It's very easy to use, hv a try =)
I need to build a basic CRUD joomla extension for a customer.
On the user's side, it must display a product list when the user choose a category, and the product details when an item is selected in the list. On the product details page, the user can send a message to the site's owner regarding the chosen product.
On the admin side, user must be able to add/modify/delete products and categories. That's about it.
Does anybody knows (a) good tutorial(s) that could help me get started with this project?
I've worked with php 4 years ago and have 5+ years experience in web development (.net), but i'm new to joomla.
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like to me you are looking for an e-commerce extension with a catalog mode (no purchases/no cart enabled) and an Ask a Question form on product pages. I know that at least Virtuemart has this ability exactly. I am sure there are other simpler carts that will also accommodate your need. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/shopping-cart
Spend a couple of hours trying out carts, no code writing required.
A great place to start is the Joomla docs site.
Checkout Component Development section.
Also, here is MVC Component Tutorial (there are 6 section to it, look for links at the bottom for "Next"), it will definitely put you on the right track. You will have to add a lot of your project specific things and do out of the box things, but it should be pretty easy.
Just keep things separate to make it easier
View/Template - your presentation
Controller - logic
Model - Data Access Layer (DAL)
