keskin Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 How could I make a website where users after they login, can post their articles on categories I've set up on the page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 you can start by serching "wiki" or "blog" and php/mysql I'm sure you will come up with TONS of tutorials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keskin Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Thanks but I would not prefer "wiki look", but rather a simple website, with independent look. So basically a website with text and pictures that are submitted by users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm sure you can find a decent blog tutorial online. All you would have to do is alter it slightly to accept multiple users and having the admin approve new posts. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keskin Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 I've just tried WordPress and Blogger, it's not bad at all, in fact it's pretty good but I would like to run a website, not a blog... I know this is not a modern way of thinking, blogs are more than common today but I just would like a web look and feel. For instance - a portal with option to support all registered users to be authors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakus_maximus Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 If you want something that you do not have to write and is themable so you can get a look you want check out www.e107.org which is a free php/mysql CMS website. You can have users register, determine what unregistered or registered users have access to, etc... blogs, forums, chat, etc...are available as plug-ins which are easily turned on. There are other free CMS systems like this out there, but I have used this one and found it works well for what it sounds like you are wanting.

obsidian Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I've just tried WordPress and Blogger, it's not bad at all, in fact it's pretty good but I would like to run a website, not a blog... I know this is not a modern way of thinking, blogs are more than common today but I just would like a web look and feel. For instance - a portal with option to support all registered users to be authors. I don't think the suggestions were intended to point you to a "blog look" but rather to recommend you read up on the workings of a blog, since what you describe is almost identical in scope to what a blog does. Yes, you want it to be customized, but the principle of posting comments and content is very blog-like in nature. If you get a feel for how the blog structure works, you'll be well on your way to being able to develop the site you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakus_maximus Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 With obsidian' comment, if you are looking to build it yourself, I would not recommend the e107.org link I said earlier. It's a good CMS system, but not one you want to use for reference towards building your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanusart Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 You can build it on a basis of simple guestbook, just give it a looks and feels of a blog. I'm not much of a .php programmer but if you want something like this (but articles instead of signings) i can send you the scripts, it's very short and simple.
