2Re: Using WebGUI content management system?

I am not sure how this relates to the MS Editing Component, but i have been using HTMLArea 3.0 as a means to allow my clients to edit certain portions of HTML on a page. It sometimes works in Mozilla, but it really is for IE only.

Just for the heck of it, here is a Apache::Template page that uses HTMLArea to allow the guys in my band to be able to change the content on their 'home pages' at our band site:

First, the revelevant portion from skeleton.html that activates HTMLArea:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="htmlarea/htmlarea.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="htmlarea/dialog.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="htmlarea/lang/en.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">@import url(htmlarea/htmlarea.css)</style>
</head>

<body onload="HTMLArea.replace('page')">
[download]

And finally the editing page itself:

[% PROCESS admin/conf.html %]
[%
   admin_id = session.get('admin_id');
   admins   = DBI.tie('admin_page','admin_id', clobber=1);
   admin    = admins.$admin_id;

   IF params.cm == 'edit';
      admin.page = params.page;
   END;
%]

[% WRAPPER admin/skeleton.html %]
   <h1>[% admin.login %]'s Page</h1>

   <div class="htmlarea">
   <form>
   <textarea name="page" rows="20" cols="100">[% admin.page %]</textar
+ea>
   <p><input class="grid" type="submit" name="cm" value="edit" /></p>
   </form>
   </div>
[% END %]

jeffa, many thanks. Checked out htmlArea and it looks very promising, and the price is right. I plan on spending some more time with it. —Brad "A little yeast leavens the whole dough."	[reply]
