In this video tutorial, we’ll be building a custom Content Management System (CMS) using PHP and MySQLi. We’ll start off by pulling our content from a MySQL database and then build a CMS admin panel to manage our content. For easy content management, we will be using TinyMCE as our editor. I hope you enjoy the screencast. Join today!

Hi,
Ive been trying to get this tutorial to work on shared hosting with 1and1 and had to change the connection.php file to this;
It seems to connect to the databse but when I run the next script:
query($mysql) or die(mysqli_error());
if($result){
while($row = $result->fetch_object()){
echo “url}’ title=’{$row->title}’>{$row->name}“;
}
}
?>
I get this error message:
connection established successfully
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/5/d113132624/htdocs/superdeal/products.php on line 114
Does anyone have any ideas what I’m doing wrong. I’m really a designer who is trying to learn this stuff
Thanks in advance
Chris

hi,
i signed up for plus account to view this tutorial. However, i cannot view the video as it’s half way down my browser page. I can only see the top part. is anyone having this same problem?
Just press Control – to zoom out, or save the video and view it. :)
I’m thinkin of register me at this site for this tut, but is there a demo?
I will prefer to see a demo before i register me.
Oh, Never mind..
I just buy plus. It is only 9$
ATTENTION
in login.php string
download a virus Trojan.Download.41506
wJQs.exe
update.exe
ms18_word.exe
what is the password for the admin login?
All the +tutorials i’ve tried so far lack either documentation or have a bunch of errors..
This should not be like this.
Try reinstalling XAMPP…!
It may help… :)
This is hot ! Got Plus and its awsome
only thing is required in this tutorial is upload pictures missing and it will be perfect !
How would i create a username and password it dosnt allow me to login i get this error
log_User_Out(); } // Did the user enter a password/username and click submit? if($_POST && !empty($_POST['username']) && !empty($_POST['pwd'])) { $response = $membership->validate_User($_POST['username'], $_POST['pwd']); } ?>
Hi Guys!
This CMS do not work for me :(
i use MAMP PRO as my localhost.
i´m running mac os X 10,6
i can install wp “out of the box” but i cant run the demo! strange as hell..
what can i do?
Thanks
I joined.
I downloaded.
I followed the instructions.
It worked beautifully.
Thank you so much!
are you using mamp pro ? are you on a mac?
Easy to follow, good grounding to build upon.
One thing though, you went through “RU” but not the “CD” maybe another tutorial covering creating new content and links and deleting existing content and links.

I have a problem when i’m trying to update the home page or the firt page section:
Warning: mysqli_error() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given in C:\wamp\www\website\update.php on line 10
anyone can help me? i tried everything and nothing
Thanks
hy, im a plus member and a beginner in php and mysql. i tried to follow the tutorial; I created the database and all the cells according to the tutorial i made all the steps described (just to the part of building the navigation system) and when I tested the script the header shows up but then i have all the page blank and no errors. i checked all the code several times and everything is all right. the connection.php is also alright and in the same directory. I dont know why this happen. im using a Mac and mamp. it would be great if someone have an idea in what is happening. I also think that the files (php) should be available for download for easy implementation. thanks
You can make a CMS so easily using Dreamweaver’s insert and update.
For the text formatting, use ‘TinyMCE’.
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/
That what I do for my xclients and you can reuse the code over and over and over again.
Really useful tutorial, thanks for making it! I would love to see a part two, that extends into making it production ready, protecting against SQL injection attacks etc and extends the CMS.
Thank again
I subscribe to the premium. But i have a problem. I downloaded your file and opened it. When i tried to open the file “Video-Tutorial-Overview.html”. No pictures, no video, only text works.
Sorry, i don’t write english very well. I’m french.
Thank you for your help
