Modifying Images

[smithas]

Does anybody know if there is some coding that you can use so that a client can go in and add and delete images from their website? I have designed a couple of websites for people who are artists and they want to be able to go in themselves and add and delete their pictures. These people do not know HTML so it has to be easy.

Thanks for any help!

You mean where they can go in, upload their pictures, and the images are automatically added to the HTML pages? You can do it with just about any serverside language... If you decide to use PHP, I can help... I hope :P

You might end up being involved more than you can think of at the moment in a number of ways.
Teaching them how to upload to the right directory
What FTP program to use.
Deleting images they don't want
Teaching them about sizes, and placement or even design.
Fixing their goof-ups.
Remind them that they are Artists and you are the Webmaster. Since you will be involved, it would be easier for you to upgrade the pages, then redo them if they make errors. I suppose there is no contract.

You might look at the Album program at http://www.buildacommunity.com.

I would just go ahead and grab some premade cgi script. like a picture or catelog program, most of those are very user friendly and these artists would be able to do it themselves once you get it set up on their site and tell them the basics. or you could dive head in to PHP or PERL, but that would take a lot of practice and time, so i would try to go with a premade script. jona might know a little more about the php thing, so i'd contact him.
