Hello. I would like to know if this script (or another very much like it) exists. When I add a new catergory of scripts to my website I have to go back through each of my pages (50+) and add the new catergory manually. This takes a long time and now, especially as I am going to be writing articles often, I really need a script like this:
I need a script which I can log into but which no one else can .
It needs to have an admin type interface.
It needs to have this ability: I specify what the link is called, (eg JavaScript: easy?), I then specify what the new link is that i want to replace the old one (eg, JavaScript: Easy part 2). The script would then go through all of my pages changing the link JaavScript: Easy? with javaScript: Easy? Part 2.
I have probably lost you but if there is anyyoone that understands and knows of a script then PLEASE tell me.
Thanks

Why not use Server Side Includes (SSI) if your host supports it?
You could have your menubar in a .txt, and than wherever your menubar is suppose to go in each page, just put the following:
<!--#include file="menubar.txt"-->

Thats actually not a bad idea and alot better then using a cgi script. Now i will find out if my "host" supports SSI. Considering it doesnt let me use a cgi-bin, have wild cards or use subdomains I doubt it will suppoet SSI but anyway.
Thanks alot

if your unable to use ssi, try serving it up java style.
do a :
document.write("place your html here")
don't use quotes in the html, for instance:
document.write("<a href='http://www.yourdomain.com'>your domain</a>")
call it your_domain.js
serve it up this way:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="your_domain.js"></script>

Hi,
I had a similar problem.
My solution:
Create all page (locally) via wml, perl and a db (mysql), then upload them via sitecopy.
The advantages:
- Easy maintainance via DB
- A few templates for lots of pages
- only static pages are served (server load !!)
Disadvantages:
- You have to convert your pages
- You have to setup the DB
- You have to write some (very small) scrits
If you update your links a few times this one time overhead really pays.
ciao

I think http://www.cgi.veinotte.com/scripts.htm has JUST what you're looking for. Get their Web File Editor!! It's a great program for this exact problem.
sawz, the problem with JavaScript is that your browser caches it so visitors don't see the updates.

There is no problem with his Javascript if you put this in the <head> tag: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
If your host doesn't support SSI, there are some CGI Scripts(http://www.cgi-resources.com) that are for hosts that don't support SSI, but you can make it include a file, however that is slower too.

Yes, I tried that. My browser still caches it. Anyways, if you combine CGI and JavaScript, there's a way to make it so that it doesn't cache the script no matter what.

content="no cache" or something...
anyone have the right answer?
