Does anyone know where I can download a database script that…
Allow you to enter ‘text’ via a control panel. After you insert the text you then log onto the page that has the ASP placeholders (variables). The page should display the text that you inserted in the database control panel.
Obviously you can have 3,4,5, etc placeholders within different pages.
WHY.
I have customers that need to update their web pages but don’t want to get their fingers wet! A backend like this allows the customers to log in and update the text on their pages with ease. All graphical content can be done by an alternative source etc.
What you describe is essentially what Snitz does. You edit part of a page (post) and the program inserts the post in the proper place on the displayed result page.
If you had a table of pages, with columns for each replaceable section of the page it should be pretty easy to accomplish. Just put <%=rsPage("part1")%> in the output (assuming you name your columns something like part1, part2, etc.
If you don't want a fixed number of replaceable parts, use two tables, one for pages and one for the parts in each page.
