Hi,
is it possible to have a membership system, where people upload new details, change password, add a description, add a photo, videos, links, and also briefs to pitch for jobs?
Cheers

Do you mean the “My Account” section of Freewaytalk?
This does most of what you ask. The rest, why not create a web site?

Hi Webworker,
that would be part of the site, members would be able to sign in change details on the site and upload showreels and credits.
I would also need on another page on a site where people could post briefs to pitch on and then members could upload their treatment with attached word docs or pdfs to to win that pitch.
So it would be part of a website.
hope this makes sense.
Cheers

This sounds like a great project for someone well-versed in server-
side programming, but there isn’t anything “off the shelf” that I know
of to do this in Freeway. You’re going to need to program the business
logic part of it in a server language like PHP, Java or Ruby, and you
will then create templates in Freeway that your application can use to
decorate the various screens seen by your customers.

The first place to go is to Keith Martin’s tutorial: PHP and MySQL Explained: lessons, script samples and book recommendations
This will get you up the first rung or two of the ladder. He
recommends my favorite book on the subject, too. Also join the Dynamo
list on the FreewayTalk Web site. You won’t need that yet, but it will
help you later when you start integrating the programming with your
Freeway layout. Also, posting blocks of code there is not as scary for
the other list-ees as it might be here in the general “design-
oriented” side of the Freewaytalk universe.
The next thing to do is to decide which one of the two paths you can
follow. The first one is to study, practice and learn by doing
examples and test applications. The second is to jump in and build
something that you need to have done by next Wednesday, stay up all
night if you have to, panic, and build something.
It doesn’t matter much which one of these paths you choose, as long as
you are deliberate and intentional about it. They will each deliver
you to the same end point. Your own appetite for fear and panic will
help you decide which one is best for you.
If you go the first route, then get a free copy of TextWrangler from http://barebones.com
and a new not-too-expensive copy of the Welling and Thompson book
linked up in Keith’s site. (I think he’ll make some Amazon brownie
points if you buy through that site.) Take each chapter in order, work
from the beginning to about two-thirds through the book. Then set it
aside and see if you can tackle your project.
If you go the second route, then work your way through Keith’s
examples first – you really can’t skip that first step, or it would
be like me trying to read the Tao in the original Klingon.
And then post to Dynamo in earnest, and you will be helped out
enormously. I’m almost certain.

Peter,
There are scripts like ELGG that could do some of what you ask (entirely out of Freeway though).
(We have this script in our Pro hosting control panels)

Look at the CodeIgniter PHP framework http://codeigniter.com/.
You’re in for a steep learning curve if you have no PHP experience but
it’s amazing and well worth learning if you’re so inclined. I cut my
teeth on MAR (MyActiveRecord) a couple years ago and have since
started working with CI. Well documented and a nice and helpful
community from what I’ve seen.
I have this CI book, <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1847191746/chainreadin04-20
And don’t forget to get the Mutha of PHP books, <http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Web-Development-4th/dp/0672329166/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271694091&sr=1-1

David,
when you we’re talking about ELGG, would I send the code to the web host from ELGG?

Hi Peter
Not sure what you mean. Elgg is a script (software) you run on your
hosting account. You download the script from Elgg, or install it
direct from your control panel if your hosting company has it
available as part of their package.

Hi Peter,
You can download the script from http://elgg.org/ and they will give you instructions how to (ftp/upload) install it and the server requirements it needs.
Anyone using http://www.ineedwebhosting.co.uk can simply auto install the script directly from the hosting control panel in a few clicks, as this is one of the scripts included in the PRO packages.
