I’ve got a question I would really appreciate your wisdom on... Want to create a really basic template that I can duplicate several times for different database websites if that’s possible. The database websites ideally would each have: •Breadcrumb trail •RSS feed for each URL •Use mod rewrite so URL’s are search engine friendly Something like the following typical hierarchy (3 or 4 tiers): Domain.com/category/subcategory/page Home page -> Links to 20-100 Category pages -> Category pages link to category subpages underneath each category -> (Optional) Then some sites would link to a final “product” page For example, one database site I would love to do would be a site about banks in the UK. So it would be: UK Banks -> Surrey Banks -> Brighton Banks Another database site would be about cars and different models/makes: Cars -> BMW -> BMW M3 And so on... The only database fields/values that I can think of which would change on each site are the following: 1.Category anchor text links 2.Sub category anchor text links 3.Title Tag - (same as page URL) 4.H1 Tag - (Same as page URL & title tag) 5.H2 Tag - (Same as page URL & title tag) 6.Meta keywords - (Same as page URL & title tag) 7.Meta Description 8.Body content - 150-300 word text on category & sub category pages – All content would be very similar throughout the site but use place-holder text that would change depending upon what the page was about. Tell me if I’ve got it completely wrong, but from what I understand so far (learning tonight), if I use the same fields in the web design structure, I will just need to update these values on an excel spreadsheet with different data (kept in the same columns) and simply upload that to MySQL for each new database website. The design would be pretty much the same on each site and I could do that myself with Dream Weaver. Therefore, if I can get a template database designed, I could then use that for the other database websites. Please let me know your thoughts? Is this all possible or am I not appreciating what a massive task this is? Thanks, Ant... Read More »
