I am an artist. Though more specifically a painter, just so I don't get lumped in with those people who use art as an excuse for stupidity.
I am a web-designer. Every now and then I pull out the laptop and write a few hundred lines of code.
I am a Christian. A Christ follower. Enough said.
Over the last few years I have been working with PHP to develop websites. I learned the core of PHP from COMP101 at Uni, and with prior knowledge in Flash have been designing sites with it since 2005.
On this site you can find different examples of the applications I have built, including my latest project, edit in place.
I will not provide any script or downloads of these tools, as much of the time I have borrowed scripts of code from other developers (with permission of course!). Links to these developers sites can be found at my links page if you wish to find our more.
So I decided to update my site a little... and add an editor. But not just any editor...
This editor allows a user to login, and then click on any of the text fields, edit them and save them - DIRECTLY ON THE SITE...
It is much like the type of application seen on the description fields at flicker.com. It uses AJAX which is dynamic javascript to power it so that it will refresh on the page. All the content is from a database, so the script has to retrieve the data, and update the data once it has been edited, and then display the data again.
Instructions:
1. Go to www.alingham.eirenz.net/admin/
2. Login with the following details:
Username: demo
Password: demopass
3. On the home page, click on the text that you want to edit (left and right column)
4. On any other page, click on the text that you want to edit (all)
And there you have it. A simple little script which allows a user to easily and quickly update the site.
