Veign - would you mind letting me know the secret? Like I said, I can get CKEditor to show up, and there's text inside of the textarea - but when I make a change and hit "save" it goes back to the way it was. Is there some snippet of code that I need to use in order to get this thing going?

Thanks for all of the replies guys,

I'm going to start from the bottom and work my way up:

Pluck looks great, the only downfall is that it is template-based. Not exactly something I could use if I'm creating a new custom-design for this organization.

I'll definitely look into the SQLite - hopefully I can get it to work.

This organization really CANNOT afford $5 - as I said before, they don't even get donations. It's all volunteer work with no profit whatsoever. I'll speak to the owner though and see if maybe he can find a different hosting service, possibly zymic.

Thanks again for all of your help, advice, and input guys.

Mouser,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I agree that it would be better (and easier) to find an open source CMS that meets their requirements... the only problem: I can't find one!

It has to be flat-file since they don't have any databases with their hosting plan
It has to have a WYSIWYG html editor - since they don't know HTML
It has to have a file management system
And most importantly: It has to be free - since they don't even receive donations.

I've searched for close to a week and have found nothing - this is the only solution I could come up with. If you know of an open-source CMS that meets these requirements, PLEASE let me know!

Ok, I've already read the guidelines, and I'm pretty sure I'm abiding by them.

I'm going to re-design a website for a non-profit organization [positive-changes.org] that helps handicapped people that either don't have insurance, or have had their insurance cancelled.

What they've requested is a File Management system and a Content Management System in one application.

I found a file management system that they LOVE [PGRFileManager - http://sourceforge.n...ects/pgrfilemanager/] and I also have heard great things about CKEditor (formerly FCKEditor) [ckeditor.com], so I thought I'd try to mix them together.

This is my 18th day straight now, and I can't figure out how to push them together. I'll admit, I'm still fairly novice at PHP, and chances are, this is something that can be throw together in a few minutes - I just don't know how.

Side note: For those of you who have downloaded PGRFM, in order to get it to work you have to edit the root directory in the config file - also, it shows up in german at first, but then it goes to English (I've already fixed this problem on my version).

I'm aware that PGRFM also has a "plugin" for FCKEditor - preferably, I'd like to have the ability to simply right click on a page inside the PGR file management system, and have "edit this file" in the context menu - and then CKEditor loads with the data from the file.

If anyone can figure this out, I would GREATLY appreciate it. My client (positive-changes.org) doesn't have the money to buy software like this (I'm actually doing the website for free), and I can't seem to find any open-source program to fit their needs.

Thanks for your time!
