Hi I have a directory website where people pay to add their listing details. The site is built in MS Frontpage with html pages.

Will CMS Builder allow me to add a section to my existing HTML pages where people/members can login using their own login/password and then upload/edit/delete details, images etc on their own listing page. Without having access to to edit other members listings?

The listings would need a page tmeplate for entry of data to keep the pages looking the same

This is an old site and I do want to change any of the older well ranking page titles etc so I thought this might be a solution.

Hi, AussieT.

I used CMS Builder for sections of a client's site: http://www.satoa.com/membersList.php. Each member in this section can edit their own profile without having access to other members' details. The way to do it is by creating a unique user account for each individual member.

Hope that helps,

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

As you can see from Nigel's site, there are going to be options for you to have a members section. When new accounts are being created, you can tell them that they can only create a specific number of articles in each section (in this case, just one article) and that they can only edit their own article. That's built into the software.

Getting it setup so visitors must pay first and then create their own account will require some custom coding but there are defintiely options there as well. Send me an email through consulting@interactivetools.com and we can go over things in more detail there.

Let me know what you think :).
