Does any one know of a (preferably free) php script that would make download management a lot more automated?
I'm tired of messing with dreamweaver whenever I want to add a new download to my site. I'd rather be able to pull up an admin panel and just submit it like I do here.
I'd like to be able to type in a title
Then a description
Screenshots
and then the download link
And then it be added to my site automatically
I've searched the web all over for one of these, but either it doesn't work how I'd like or I'm not able to integrate it into my webpage.
i assume you arent working with a database if you are using dreamweaver to add in the games to your sites code.
so no php script is going to fix that. not a single one anyway. you'll need a few.
one which is a form for you to submit your downloads info.
one which is a form that allows you to edit your downloads info.
one that lists all the downloads you currently have with edit and delete links.
one that actually shows the downloads specific to the category.
and one with your database info. (good way to let others write scripts for a personal database without actually giving them access to the database.)
the first three can be combined into one but the fourth and fifth needs to be seperate.
also since i assume you arent using a database, youre going to need one (if your host allows it. mysql preferably)
its going to be hard (probably impossible) to "find" an existing script to do what you want. so you are going to need one specifically written for you. now THAT can be hard unless the person writing it is allowed to set things up (ie the database and access to certain page sources)
