Resolved question

MS Frontpage login/register to enable comments

by goblingee - 5/24/12 4:15 AM

Hi All,

I could really do with some advice and help with this.

I am currently building a website, I am learning as I go and would like to add a registration/login capability to the home page and then allow registered users to post comments at the bottom of the home page, sort of like the yogscats site or ign or gamespy I also have a phpbb3 forum linked to the site so it would be even better if people were able to register/login using their forum details so they dont have to register twice.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gee

to search for the name of the feature you used to create the first slide and append that you're looking to create a second slide. Maybe also check the Frontpage help files.

Without having the software installed on my computer, I can't provide a step by step on how to accomplish this via the user interface.

Frontpage (as shown on http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/frontpage-help/) is just a tool to built static websites. So it's not the right tool for this requirement.

Better start learning PHP or ASP.NET or something like that.

Is definitely not the tool to do this with. While it is possible, it would be very difficult and time consuming. I doubt anyone would even take on a task like this, because it wouldn't be maintainable.

I suggest you look into Wordpress. The registration/login/comment ability comes built into Wordpress. In addition, I'm pretty sure there's going to be a way to integrate forum authentication, but you will most likely need to contract this out to a developer. In terms of getting up and running with Wordpress, that isn't too difficult and will definitely be a better solution in the long run.

You may want to look at this thread. It talks in a little bit more detail on how to get something like this started: http://forums.cnet.com/7723-6616_102-561977/who-is-the-best-low-priced-webhost-company-in-2012
