Hi all,

I'm setting up a website, it's a video streaming website where people can watch movie trailers (embeds from veoh, youtube etc.), anime episodes (embeds) etc.

Basically, I have a CSS template. I have a few anime series in the navigation. I have used PHP Includes so that when you click on a series or link in the navigation it points to the content part of the website.

What I want is to be in a position where I can set up accounts for users so that they can also post new anime episodes (embeds) as they are released. I heard that I need a script for this, something like a form

e.g. Series [insert name of series, or pick from the list] - Title [insert episode number or name of film i.e. part 1 or 2 or full etc.] - Content [insert content, this is where the embeds will go, or any HTML]

button [Submit]

I will also need something so that if someone accidently enters wrong info, it can be edited later on.
------

And then, the website is automatically updated adding those to the navigation or whatever.

People have suggested blogs? But would I need to change the whole HTML source code to suit my needs?

The site will be based on watching anime online, movies etc.

PS. I have purchased a 1 year webhost with Bluehost along with a domain, if you know Bluehost then you will also know that they provide/support pretty much anything i.e. databases, languages etc.

No one?

Are you looking for a software?

I don't really know tbh, I was hoping someone could help me out. Do I need a blog like WordPress and then convert to CMS?

Or just making my own site template, adding numerous scripts to get what I want, the only problem > what scripts will allow me to do this?

If this post doesn't make sense, read the very first post.

i suggest that you need to build your own site, not a cms but you also need a programmer for that. You can hire me!..lol

What you are going to need is a content management system (CMS).

You could try to build one from scratch which is going to take
a long time and and be of uncertain quality.

A far better idea would be to choose one of the many ready
made CMS available and adapt it to your needs.

I doubt that WordPress is going to be adequate.
I know Drupal would be able to do all those things
you mentioned.

So your choice is whether you want to learn how to use
a CMS yourself or hire someone to put it together for you.

Just use wordpress, and you can make it so that when people sign up they can be authors of articles as well.

You should just make it so that you need to moderate the articles before they go out so you don't have people writing advertising articles or worse.

Also if you are able to wait, I am currently making a youtube video theme for wordpress and it will even be accessible on iPhones and you can check out information on it by checking out my site (in my signature)

Sorry I didn't realize when it was originally posted, I just saw it on the front page of the web design forum section so I posted on it. I will check next time.
