Need Code For Non-Profit Organization

(1/4) > >>

rtaylor1987:
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.net/projects/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!

fckeditor is good.  don't know about PGRFileManager.

But.. if they really want the features of a CMS.. you might be better off finding an open source CMS that has a really good file management addon than trying to roll your own..

rtaylor1987:
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!

mouser:
well the flat file thing is going to be the show stopper.  not that their aren't flat file cms solutions, but they are few and far between.

surely they can get hosting that will let them use a database.  there has to be free hosting for them somewhere that would give them a database or two.

Actually, there is: http://www.zymic.com/

But there are certain file formats they don't allow. In fact, all file formats are disallowed by default unless they appear on the allow list, and these particular ones will never appear on that list:

.mp3
.asp
.aspx
.cgi
.pl
.exe
.ds_store
.bsp
.arch00

And email services do not come with the free package. You can't send or receive any email with it, so things like forums that require registration and send out confirmation emails are out of the question, as well as Wordpress blogs that allow readers to be notified by email of new comments to posts. (you can integrate GMail for Domains with it though)
