I am currently looking into buying this software but have a few questions before I proceed.
Im in the process of building a community site where my users will be able to build their own websites. Sounds easy enough. Now my dilema is this. I want to be able to offer them 4-5 different templates that they can choose from and basiclly just fill in the blanks. Is this possible with this software? This process needs to be as simple as possible since most the users will be computer illeterate.
First of all, give yourself the Add User tool on the EditWrx toolbar.
Add User allows you to create a signup form. The form contains a hidden field create_username_folder_in_folder that tells EditWrx where to create new user's folders. It also has a hidden field folder_to_populate_from that can contain template files for the new user. When a new user signs up their folder is created and populated with the template filess.
Offering mutiple templates can be done a variety of ways. First create a separate folder for each template and place the appropriate files in each template folder.
The easiest way is to create a different page for each template where you display the template and put a signup form on each page with the appropriate folder_to_populate_from on each form.
You can put a display of all templates on one page and use one signup form on that page. You can hard code a select menu to group the templates. For example:
You can put a display of all templates on one page and use one signup form on that page. You can hard code radio buttons next to each template display. For Example:
