Online Casino

Not sure if I know exactly what you are trying to do

– Are you talking about just a homepage on all sites being used having the ability to change?
– But these sites would have similar areas, game guides etc..?
– Or are you looking for a way to amend multiple pages at once

Many site building programmes allowing you to generate one page, your homepage for example and if you are looking to change content across a number of sites, you would build multiple homepages from the one template to be used with different URL’s and once you amended one they would all update.

Alternatively I have found building sites using SSI tags really helpful as you essentially have the site build in slices which connect like a jigsaw when uploaded.

Let me know if you need any more detail

Well, since I am using Mambo, I cannot just generate a home page very easily. Each #1 – #10 listed Casino (in example above) uses the same template, but would obviously have different images, anchor text, links, etc…

So, really, I need to generate the content automatically based upon which Casino I select as being #1 in my list. That means that I have to select the casino, possibly select a definition file that would be used to replace information.

Example:

So, in the above HTML, I would want to replace with the web location of my template image. Additionally I would want to replace <*!CasinoName*!> with the Casino that I am promoting I would be interested to know more about SSI tags as I have never used them, but I am not sure how well they would integrate into Mambo or if it is even possible to use them within that CMS. Thanks!   <*!CasinoName!*>

I just found a program called FSRU (File Substring Replacement Utility) that seems like it will help me. I can search and replace multiple strings and create a definition file as well. This should help out quite a bit.

Feel free to reply with a better way to do this type of thing!

I am sure that everyone is doing this on at least one of their sites, so any experienced view would be great!

Are you:

1. Using a database and updating the Top 10 there?
2. Using static HTML and editing the HTML to update the Top 10?
3. Using some sort of search/replace utility to update the Top 10?
4. Other?

Thanks!!

I would be out of my depth to advise on the code changing and I am not familiar with Mambo

Here is a link which will explain SS! in more detail.

I am only semi technical so I love SSI as i can specify whole sections or just part as an SSI file so when I want to do updates across 100+ pages I just change one file.

Sounds like you just want to create a simple PHP script that reads in data from a file and your HTML from a template file and replaces the content of your template with each element. As long as you ISP supports PHP, its relatively simple to do.

They definitely do as Mambo is PHP-based and all the modules are as well. I guess I will have to bone up on php, then. I suppose it won’t be that difficult, but I am just trying to get a site up and running as fast as I can and it is taking about 10 times longer than I thought. I should have built the darn thing from scratch instead of using a CMS and it would have been done by now

Oh well… At least it should be more customizeable when I am done.
