PHP Media section

[earnthenspend]

Could someone please help me if they have any spare time??? I would like to make a media section in my website. I have some details for it:

-People can register
-Guests can view the performances section but not the tutorials section, they need to be logged in
-There are 2 sections, a tutorials section and a performance section
-Users have to be logged in to be able to view it
-For the performances section people upload videos to youtube, choose which category it goes in and submit the embedded code in a form that puts the video in the certain category.
-For the tutorials section people choose the category it comes in and then uploads the video and it is put in that certain category.
-For both sections users can rate and comment on peoples videos only when they are logged in.

All this is done in PHP though. I hope this is not too much

If anyone can help please PM me and I will give you details.

You should just use a CMS because no one is going to code a website for free...

What is CMS??

[TechAsh]

A CMS is a "Content Management System". I is basically a Web program that takes all the hard work out of setting up a website. All you do is install the CMS then choose a theme/template, and start adding the content, the CMS sets all the content out, and allows you to concentrate on the words instead of the code. Most CMSs have a plugin system that will allow you to customise them and add extra features.

An example of a CMS is Joomla, which is one of the most popular CMS. You can see a website that has been made with Joomla here (It's my website).

Can I install CMS by fantastico or do I have to do that manually?


thanks very much,

Theres a bunch in Fantastico, they're under Content Management on the left (if you're having troubles seeing it, it's the list that includes e107, Drupal, Joomla, and Joomla 1.5 among others).

Personally I'd prefer installing them from scratch so theres total control, but if you're new to CMS's (which it sounds like you are), go with Fantastico so if you install one and don't like it, it's easy to remove it and try out another. Thats what Fantastico's there for anyways (in my opinion at least)
