Thread: Content Management????

Hi...

In Fantastico there are many different Content Management programs... What I would like to know, is which one - if any - would help me with this problem below...

I want to take information from the mySQL database and place it onto my webpage... lets say I have ten users and each has 20 pieces of information each, and I want to publish all of that info for each user onto the webpage... but the information might change from time to time, so instead of a simply placing it on the webpage - using BV. I want all the information stored onto a database, so that i can change it easily. And once I change the info on the database the webpage with all that info chages as well....


Thank you for your time,
Chris

CMS systems are mostly for publishing articles and pages, not data retreival. I really do not understand exactly what you want to do and how you want the data entered and presented, but it sounds like you might need a customized solution.

Oh...

Thanks... I'll try explain it better...

I want to take information from a database and publish it onto my webpage. I don't know how to go about doing this though....

I'm going to try to give you an example... ok... here goes...

There is a user - named chris1 - this user has 5 pieces of information - telnumber, address, e-mail, practise, and price. Now, for this user - chris1 - I want to place all his information in a block - like pic below:


Then on the same webpage I want to add the users - chris2, chris3, chris4, and chris5. Like So:


I hope you now understand what I am looking to do...

Thank you,
Chris

You need a custom made script for that. Have a look at http://www.navaldesign.info/databasemanager/
