Just need basic editing
Permalink
Is it possible to use Concrete on existing html/css pages not CMS enabled? I am looking for a way to allow my client to clone a template site built pre-CMS and change headlines, body copy etc. Images will be done outside of the CMS so all I need to do is create editable regions such as Page title, Headlines, and general body area. The simpler the better.
Thanks. Actually this one is similar but more up to date.

So I injected my layout and it worked. Only thing I am not sure about is logging into it from initial load. I dare say I need to manually put that in my page right?

I might add however, I'd prefer to have a system where the client logs into php form with fields directed to specific areas on the web page eg:
<div class="Headline">
<?php
echo file_get_contents("text/h1.txt");
?>
</div>
<div class="bodyCopy">
<?php
echo file_get_contents("text/p1.txt");
?>
</div>
Then the submit would invoke PHP to open up 2 or more text files and write the respective information to each of them. So far I can't find any info on how PHP can do this. Only way this works is client writes the info in each specific text file then uploads and the content will change dynamically. This is all well and good, but if a site gets large and there are 10 or more text files to deal with, it would be best to combine the updates to a single HTML php form. For me this seems logical and straight forward and would be a no brainer for the client with no HTML skills whatsoever to update their site at will. Everyone fills out forms on the web so this seems like a good idea to me.
Whilst Concrete5 is cool, it's still a learning curve for the client to edit their own pages and I'd prefer a more traditional approach with a basic HTML form that targets areas I specify. Rest of the content would only be modified by me via HTML/CSS etc. Updating images would be simple enough too since I provide specs and maintain a consistent naming convention. Simply a matter of replacing the live images by overwriting.
Any clues as to how to make PHP write to multiple text files with one form submission?
In fact I'd like a CMS system that is more back office and can update pages not directly connected to the CMS system. Currently running concrete on beta.mydomain.com and it has no effect on mydomain.com live site, but it would be nice to install Concrete to cms.mydomain.com and then have it inject code to other domains/sub domains on the same server that it is installed on. Kind of like a control center that if the site not connected to the CMS has some php code listening out for directions as to what to do next, such as change the headline, when the client logs in and targets that specific page for updates, enters the new info and boom PHP MySQL fires up and spits out the new info to the live site not directly associated to the CMS control center, but listening out for commands.
<div class="Headline">
<?php
echo file_get_contents("text/h1.txt");
?>
</div>
<div class="bodyCopy">
<?php
echo file_get_contents("text/p1.txt");
?>
</div>
