Creating a Web-Based UI for Storing Niche Articles

by iSoftware
7 replies
I'd like some feedback (or links if it exists) about creating a VERY SIMPLE, web based script, UI, etc that would do this:


1. User would log onto site and be present with several input fields and a submit button. Let's say you have 6 fields:

ARTICLE TITLE

ARTICLE KEYWORDS

INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH

MAIN BODY PARAGRAPH

CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH

RESOURCE BOX


2. When They hit "submit" the data would be saved as an sql on one of the typical hosts like godaddy, bluehost, hostgator etc

3. Data could be exported at will (I'm assuming you'd just have to log into your hosting account and download/export the data)

If you know of a script or something that already exists like this or you are developing and would like to sell it, let me know...

        Drupal has a very sophisticated content type system that wordpress can't even compete with. Even wordpress's 3.0 release that allows you to create different "types" of content still doesn't hold a candle to drupals system.

        In drupal you can create a "article" content type. You can create unlimited fields (title, intro paragraph, main body, conclusion, etc...). Then you can create sophisticated lists of the information and sophisticated user access.

        ...all of this with out writing a single bit of code...

    this would be very simple to build. if all your wanting is a way for people to insert articles and then a way to download them. you can have it where you have a csv export in a admin panel to be able to download them pretty easy.

    are you going to be the only one downloading the articles or are you going to have users that can download them?

    are you going to need a payment processing part to be able to charge people for access?

    there are alot of variables to this to be able to make it exactly as you want it.
