Purpose of Contribute
Hi everyone,
I have to create a content management system for a small website I'm creating
for a client. I was planning on using xml and php to create it but then I
wondered about the possibility of my clients using contribute to update the
site. I've never used contribute before and wondered if someone could clarify
for me what it's actually used for. I mean I assume that it's used as an
alternative to a content managment system that's built from scratch right? All
they'd have to do is buy the program and they'd be able to update their site -
is this correct?
Would really appreciate any help offered.
Thanks

Hello,
What I suggest is that you download the trial version at
[url]http://www.adobe.com/products/contribute/[/url] and try it out for 30 days.
Contribute is an FTP-based editor, that is installed on the client-side. The
editor is very easy to understand and use, because users can use the navigation
of their own website to reach the pages they want to edit.
For a very brief demonstration you can also visit
[url]http://www.digital-ink.nl/di_demonstratie.php[/url].
When you use Dreamweaver to build your sites you can add so called 'editable
regions', so your client can only update the content you made editable. But you
can also use Contribute on other websites without these regions and with pages
with (X)HTML content.
You can also borrow that 'editable code' code and use in another editor: make
sure you don't use the name of the instance twice:
----------------------------------- example code ----- see body tag for
editable code------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- InstanceBegin
template="/Templates/index.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Natural Horsemanship Wagenborgen; voor training, consult en
advies</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
color: #FF0000;
font-weight: bold;
}
-->
</style>
<body>
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="content" -->
editable content
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
</body>
</html>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
When you download the trial version maybe you can use this code to try things
out.
Have fun!
