Can Snippetmaster help me edit my .php scripted web site

[emailgirls]

Hi,

I am very new to scripts, .php and even my FrontPage 2003 (used 2000 in the past).  I have a scripted web site that has its own internet admin control panel but can’t seem to find text editing issues as simple as modify text and links on the index.php page.  My mind frame is still in the html mode, but It my understanding (very limited at this time) that the data or actual content is in the database. This is why I was searching for a product like yours. I have the following questions:

Question 1)

Can snippet be used with a scripted web site without it interfering with the functionality if the web script built-in control panel when controls must all functions that are provided with the script?

Question 2)


Where do the tags go, on the actual .php or the corresponding html template page?

Question 3)

Can you take a look at my test web site (site is to experiment on before working on actual) located at: http://www.friendships.emailgirls.com/ and advise me where to place the tags for the purpose it need?

Question 4 )

Can I go to the actual browser, view source, select and copy all, then edit it per your snippet instruction, uploaded it to the intended .php file (for example index.php) and override the existing one without doing damage or is there another way?

If this works for me, I will buy the pro version if I can view actual changes.  Just want to try first with the lite to make sure it works for me.

Best Regards from the newbie girl.

Hello,

It sounds like someone has built a website for you already.. so my first advice is to contact them and ask them how to update your website pages. 

OK... you can use snippetmaster as a "web page editor" for ANY text files.  Thus, if your template files have all your website html code in them... then that is where you would put the snippet tags. 

I'm really not sure how best to proceed with more advice, because it sounds like your website "source" is a bit complicated.  Was it programmed by someone?

I purchased the pre-package dating software from aeWebworks located at http://www.aewebworks.com and http://www.aedating.com. I just made the purchase of the software script and installed it myself following there install instructions that came in the "read-me file). Yes, its a bit complicate to me as I do not have any .php or script or database experience.

My only problem so far, is finding the actual content and links to edit it. To edit the logo, I was told to go to the applicable template that I am using, then image file and put the desired new logo in that image file and rename it logo which will over-ride the braded logo. Now how can I applying this to text. I don't know and answers are almost non-existent from the manufacture. This is the reason I am very attracted to your product.

This is why I am so hoping that your snippet lite or pro can help me.

Thanks

Well, if the template files contain normal HTML, then you can simply "wrap" the part you want to be editable with snippet tags, and edit that as if it were a normal page.

However... most template files that come with programs like this contain special "NON-html" code.. which means it probably won't look right in the snippetmaster editor.

You can certainly try it and see what happens...  Can't hurt.  Just make sure you don't save any changes you make.. or make a backup.. just in case.
