External News/Site Updating

[Dub_Dude]

Hi guys, I am currently in the process of making a footballing website that has all the latest results fixtures and more. Obviously I can't up information for each team all by myself, I want other people to be able update certain parts of the site themselves without me having to give them access to the whole site. Is there any particular way I should be going about this?

Any help or advice you could give would be much appreciated.


Thank You.

Brad

You could create FTP accounts and only allow access to folders which contain the things you need updated.

It depends if you code the site yourself or use a CMS!
I think most CMS have that kind of option, at least e107 has it.

Sounds good, thank you Corey and knoxope.

I've used Cutenews inthe past and it works well.

previously i had been using phpnews, which requires a database. Cutenews is alot better, thanks for pointing this out to me.

But it is also very Hard to setup ''/

Really? I found it really easy :bigok:

Perhaps you can use RSS?

Cutenews is extremely easy to setup. All it requires is copying the files into the desired ftp folder, then following a few easy online setup steps.

For some reason my site always messes up when i try to CHMOD It. So i didnt bother. I used a template, and added the news in manually, Or i have used Fusionnews, Much better Than Cutenews- 10/10

Hmm? Does fusionnews have any extras over cute? Just wondering, I've heard about it, but never used it.

A CMS would be great. You can get members to sign up and login. Then they can type the news themselves. Add pictures themselves. e107 or Joomla or Drupal can do that. It just takes some time to figure out how the CMS works

Sounds good, creating a template for a CMS can be a pain in the ass though lol
