Ask a Question

How can my customer update his his texts and images WITHOUT MODIFYING THE SITE
(e.g. menu prices, timetables, crew names, etc.)
SEE THE DIAGRAM TO UNDERSTAND MY QUESTION

For information, Adobe Muse had an excellent method.
In-Browser Editing
We would upload the html files via FTP to our provider and our client would go to an online platform and type in the FTP access codes to see the site appear in EDIT mode only.
If the client edited something online, it would sync with the local file when it was opened on the desktop.

Hi Stéfane,

This can be achieved with the CMS only, there you can add a license for your client and he would be able to edit the site content in Nicepage plug-in on the site.

CMS is Wordpress or Joomla.
Nicepage online only handles html sites.

Ok it's a pity, because not everything can be done with a CMS and the HTML version is very convenient.

Hi Stéfane,

CMS is convenient when you need to edit the content and let your customer do that. For now using WP or Joomla is the only option.

here is an idea that I submit to you that could be practical and quick to set up (and an affordable customer license for each client wishing to modify)

Great! OK, I didn't understand what this thing was for in Licence.
How does it work?
Who buys what and how does the customer see my work? Can we both access it (him reading and me writing - by viewing the file on Online Builder?
A video or tutorial on how it works?

Ahhh
1) I just looked, you can't push to an FTP like the Desktop version does.
Apparently, the principle only works with Nicepage hosting or with a "heavy" DNS redirection
The problem is that my client has his site at OVH and I am not allowed to touch it.
2) It seems that it only works with WP or Joomla and that's not my point.

So, this brings us back to my request in the diagram :)
My method would bring even more web designers who do not want a CMS.

Hi Stéfane,

Yes, we get your idea, the provided above method to create the edit mode only works for the WP and Joomla plug-ins only that works with the client licenses that you can provide to customers for WP and Joomla sites. This won't work with the HTML sites as you have explained in your wish before.

Hi Stéfane,

This option is considered, but we cannot say if it might be implemented or when.

Thanks. Just to help with the consideration. I'm part of a collective of graphic designers who are just waiting for this to dive into webdesign without CMS!

Along with this might be the option to lock various content blocks and allow others to edit only those that you give them permissions too.

Obviously, the key problem is that your local version of NicePage wouldn't necessarily stay in sync with the published website.

So your customer makes changes on the live site, you open your local copy which has the previous version, when you republish, your customer's changes are overwritten.

This is exactly why content management systems were created.

Ideally, in a "shared" environment - and this is entirely doable - NP would have the ability to download the site - or at least those pages that are out of sync, so that you don't overwrite previous edits.

Of course you could do this manually, but the whole idea of NP is to make things easier not more difficult.

Hello cody.flanagan, Adobe Muse thought of it.
The name of solution : In-Browser Editing
We were uploading the html files via FTP to our supplier. Our client would go to an online platform (In Broswer Editing) and type in the FTP access codes to see the site appear in EDIT mode only.
If the client edited something online, it would sync with the local file when it was opened on the desktop. I had a message "Your client has modified the site. Do you want to ignore or update your file".
It was great. Everyone was happy
