1 site pr user? Can't Post
Hi,

I'm currently scanning the net for a solution like Page Publisher - only I need it to be possible for each user to maintain his/her own website structure. For example, if I got a site with the url www.somesite.com, then I would like to be able to:

1. create a user "joe" that publishes his site to www.somesite.com/joe folder

2. create a user "jenny" that publishes her site www.somesite.com/jenny folder

3. etc.

And I want this to be handled using only 1 installation of Page Publisher.

Is this somehow possible? Perhaps via some add-on?

/Tim

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the post!

This sounds like something that you may be able to handle with one license of Page Publisher Tim! As long as the user pages are on one domain everything should be okay inside of one installation for example:

--> Your website is www.abc.com/index.html

--> Joe's homepage is found at www.abc.com/joe/joe-index.html

Page Publisher could be used to manage both the content on the www.abc.com/index.html page, and because they share the same domain www.abc.com/joe/joe-index.html. :)

This means that all you would have to do is upload an index page for each of your users, then in Page Publisher create them an account that only allows for editing their homepage!

Does this sound like what you are looking to accomplish Tim? I look forward to hearing back from you soon!

Hi Chet,

It's sort of what I want, only the users need to be able to maintain a set of pages and the users must be sand-boxed, i.e. they cannot see server folder info or the like.

I want to create an area on my domain for member hosted homepages. Instead of just making a number of sub folders and handing out ftp coordinates, I would like to use create a page publisher user account instead.

I've played around with the PP demo, but I cannot see how the above can be modelled *unless* I have to create each page for them. This approach would be too much work for me. Instead it would be nice to have a sub folder path on each user, so that all pages create by a user is put into the <admin server folder path> + <user folder path>

There are products out there that does this + waaaaay too much more! And they are very costly. I just want a simple product like PP where each user can get his/hers own sandbox for simple html sites. I'm already running 2 AM sites, so I have no hesitations what so ever about buying products from Interactive Tools. The software is great! I'm just not sure how to use PP for my purpose.

If PP cannot do the job, Interactive Tools should consider making this change. There must be others than me that could put this feature to good use.

Hi Void,

Thanks for the follow-up!

I see what you are hoping to set-up now, at this time Page Publisher does not have this kind of functionality. I have added it to our feature request list and it does seem like a feature that other users would appreciate. :)

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!
