Ok I'm really not sure where to post this so please move it to the correct forum...

I'm trying to set up a website in which some users can have their own webpages hosted on my site. I want to use a template in which these users can use a form to enter in information and then it will be displayed in the template. The users would have to have usernames and password protected accounts. Is there a special "package" like dotnetnuke where this is possible? I've done numerous searches but I am really inexperienced when it comes to using user accounts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Something like http://www.interspire.com/sitecenter/ ?

Thanks for the post!

This looks like it is along the lines of what I am thinking. Idealy I would like to have forms however so that users could more easily keep with a standard format. I am trying to allow restaurant owners to post their menus, so this is what the form would look like:

NAME:
CONTACT INFO:
MENU ITEM 1:
ITEM DESCRIPTION 1:
ITEM PRICE 1:
MENU ITEM 2:
ITEM DESCRIPTION 2:
ITEM PRICE 2:

... and then have it all formated into a template that I want.

Is there some way to have form submissions saved to a file on my server which can be read by a general page and formated? Im really inexperienced with CSS but maybe this is the answer?

Another problem is the price. Unfortunatly that software would be way to expensive for what I am trying to do. Maybe something free?

I may just end up setting up a form for users to submit information and then do the page editing manually, much to my dismay.

Any other ideas or am I approaching this the wrong way?

Thanks again!

What you are trying to do involves quite a lot of scripting and setting up, especially when it comes to giving people accounts and the ability to edit their own content.

Maybe you could adapt something like http://www.phpmydirectory.com/ to suit. It's a business directory script where people can register and have their own page, which they can add all sorts of info to including products, photos, PDF's etc etc.

Thanks for the link. This looks like the closest thing I have seen so far for what I want to do. The more I think about it though it seems like it would be less complicated for me (with my limited coding abilities) to just set up the pages myself. I am going to read more about the link you provided and make a decision.

Thanks for the posts!

You know what you could do is create a gui Blogger kinda linda myspace and then dont' charge. Give them some competition.
