" Contribute" for simplified FrontPage mods? - 12/16/2002 17:50:48
I tried macromedia' s Contribute thingy, advertised to permit simplified updates to FrontPage.
NOT. In my test, its FTP engine butchered up a FrontPage page.
Their tutorial was fascinating. Not only could your client add/modify text, they could also add pictures. Even Links. Create pages from templates.
I wish there was a way that I could allow my customers to edit / add text, and free me for more creative work. Any ideas?
- An " /Include" directory which COULD be safely ftp' d to?
- A version of FrontPage Super Lite with adjustable restrictions?
Just some thoughts......

There are some interesting Java and Perl Scripts that allow file uploads but I have yet to use one for a client. This is a very " in-demand" feature so I bet we will see some really good ones soon...

So cool! How do I restrict a directory in a FP web to FTP only? If it matters, it' s a virtual domain on a Unix/Apache server...

Thanks

[:p] Linda, I read the description and tried the editor on their web site. COOL. This is the IDEAL, just what I had been dreaming about. And you say it even WORKS? Let me know what problems you have implementing it.
Only $20 for a site-wide license? SUPER!
