I have a project that I would like to have completed; preferably in PHP/MYSQL.
This will basically be a custom CMS (Content Management System). But, it will need to be able to update multiple sites from centralized databases.
Basically, what I want here is to be able to input a series of links into a database using an admin control panel. Each entry will need to have the following: The CATEGORY, SOURCECOMPANY, CAMPAIGN, URL, THUMBIMAGE, SMALLIMAGE, LARGEIMAGE, LONGDESCRIPTION, SHORTDESCRIPTION, DETAILSP (WHERE DETAILS P IS A NUMBER), DETAILSV (WHERE DETAILSV IS A NUMBER), ID#, (WHERE THE ID# IS A UNIQUE IDENTIFYING NUMBER FOR EACH ENTRY, SPECIFIC1 AND SPECIFIC2 (SPECIFIC1 AND SPECIFIC2 will be used to identify sub categories)
I need the admin entry panel to be able to enter a single entry into multiple categories as well if I choose and I should be able to create these categories quickly and easily.
I then need to be able to create a link on another site, preferably even on another server, but on the same server might be acceptable, that does the following:
I should be able to pick the CATEGORY that this link is going cover, type of display (in other words, will I have an image displayed or will I have text displayed and will it be a thumbimage, smallimage, largeimage, longdescreption or shortdescription and also I should be able to choose to show one or both of the DETAILSV OR DETAILSP Sections in the display.
All of that is pretty straightforward, but here is the slightly more difficult part: I want to be able to have this link that I've created automatically update itself periodically. This should work something like this: Every so many seconds (I prefer this method, so that I can vary it by day, hour, whatever I want), the link changes to a new link that meets the requirements set forth in the link type parameters (in other words, If I've chosen SATELLITES as my category, then it only pulls up entries that meet that specification AND whatever other specifications I've included, for instance: SPECIFIC1). This should be a random pull from all available entries in that category that meet the requirements, but should eliminate any that have already been used for that specific link and/or SITE. I believe this will require me to input some type of identifier in for each specific site, but I am open to suggestions. So, for instance, if I want to have 8 different links on one page that are all covering the same category, I should be able to create 8 links and put them into the HTML (or however I need to do this, perhaps with PHP here as well?) and set them to rotate out once per day. Each should always be different (NEVER should the same link be shown on two or more links on the same page) and should change out once per day and should always pull new entries from the database. Now, in the event that all entries in the database have been gone through, then it may restart through the list, but only if there are no new entries. I don't want this to keep the same data from being shown on another site though... Only on this one, so I do not want the entries to be deleted or kept from showing on other sites. I believe this could be done with PHP, with each site havind an identifying number... but I am open to ideas.
Basically, what I'm going to be doing here is to be creating a bunch of little sites that will update automatically from links that I've entered in my control panel. I don't mind each individual site taking a little bit of time to create right now, but I want to be able to update all similar sites just by putting new entries into the database that meet each link's requirements.
Okay, I have a ton of other ideas for this system that I will want to implement at a later time, but I would like to get this part working as soon as possible.
I prefer to have custom coding done over something that already exists, but if you know of something that will do what I need, then please let me know. I have already purchased all kinds of rotators and cms scripts that just won't do what I need. I would prefer to have it custom made and have full rights to it.
If you would like to work on this (and you know how to make all this work), then please give me an estimate of the price and time frame to complete. If you don't understand what I want, then please ask specific questions.
Thanks for looking!
