Ways to edit content on a site with many pages.

[scylla]

lets say I have a table on my site thats on the left hand side. With a list of items, kind of like of webproworld does.

Well, here's my question, I'm running a very large site, with over 1000 pages (html pages) and I've been thinking of putting that information in the left hand table into an iframe. (for when I want to add stuff to it.) Can anyone give me any better ideas for this or if my idea is good enough?

You better could do that with a little free CMS, without need to change your documents from .html to php, asp, jsp, etc.

Very easy to implement.

I cannot find it online for downloading anymore, but if you would want it, send me a PM with your email so I can send it to you.

Well some people use templates in Dreamweaver for this task, but I prefer to use php include statements. If you are familiar with php or your pages have a .php extension then I think you will find this to be the easiest way. An example of a .php include would be this:

<td width="150" colspan="2" valign="top"><table width="150" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<?php include('includes/left_navigation.php'); ?>
</table></td>

Then whenever you make changes to "left_navigation.php" the changes will affect every page that includes it.

Good Luck
