Mouseketeer Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bolton, can you tell me if it's possible to update info on a website if it was set up by someone else on their pc, I bought the name and set the password, and know how to change info on 'notice board ' pg but nothing else so I have to keep giving person who made it newsletters etc...

Guest SamG Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 This is fabulous and has given me some ideas for our new website (when I eventually get round to working on it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bolton, can you tell me if it's possible to update info on a website if it was set up by someone else on their pc, I bought the name and set the password, and know how to change info on 'notice board ' pg but nothing else so I have to keep giving person who made it newsletters etc... unfortunately it seems you can't easily edit your website because the person who set it up will have the master files, ftp login details etc.. but im sure you could request these.. but you would also need the program your website was created with, the ftp client isn't a problem as these are freely available... If you did have the ftp login details, you could edit your website by editing the html or php files on the server, but again some html knowledge would be needed, and adding a newsletter or link to your newletter and positioning it corectly on the correct page would be quite hard!!! Sorry for the bad news! Brilliant! Does this mean u want to help advertise settings? I could certainly help to advertise anybody's setting... depending on how much work time is involved (bearing in mind i havn't had time to finish my website lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thank you for info Bolton, I didn't think it was possible really, but wondered if I could edit one page why not the others and hate being relient on someone else to update.....

SueJ Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Website looks really good and so clever to do it yourself. I have made the decision to cough up for someone else to do it hoping that paying up front will save paper and printing costs if I put the setting's info online. Once the site has been designed I will then be able to manage the content to keep the ongoing running costs down and the hosting etc. is not overly expensive. Having hunted around I found a local web builder as some of the ones that do dedicated school and nursery sites are extraordinarily expensive and their on costs for administration and hosting are also somewhat pricey. Like yours I am having a secure area for parents to log into to access information but have you thought about having a secure page for staff to log into. I am having a password protected page for them on mine as there is a lot of stuff that it would be useful to put on there that they too can access securely e.g., staff handbook, grievance procedure, cpd updates etc. that way I don't have to print off reams of stuff for them and the responsibility for making sure that they keep up to date with what is going on falls to them - that way no one can say they weren't informed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyPancakes Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Looks great. How about link to Heath Protection Authority? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks for these great ideas.. a staff area would be really good, and if staff check their own area daily they will always be kept in the loop.. excellent idea. The only problem i am having is the actual secure area i have is not the best.. it works, but it is hosted externally on a serif server, because this is the part i become stuck, making my own secure area internally!! The Health Protection Authority - Sounds important yet i have not actually heard of it (is that bad?) Please steer me in the right direction...

Guest Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Also i think the best thing for people who need to update regular is to make a solid homepage, with a link to your nursery's ever changing Blog page ie Wordpress being very easy to use and install.. and very easy to simply log in and edit content and add new blogs...

Infections can be very nasty and if all measures are taken to control the risks it might just help stop children suffering or worse!!

Pimms o'clock? Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi Bolton, yours looks great and I love the flying pig! Could you tell me how I could put a secure area for parents and one for staff into an existing website please. I created my own using schools.ik.org I con't seem to find anything on here about doing this. It cost me £75.00 per year and probably does a lot more than I have got around to doing with it. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have problems myself with secure areas.. not even sure the one i made works properly! BUT i have just been searching the internet and found this website.. http://www.locked-area.com/ which appears to do the job for a little fee or even free!

Guest cathy m Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 great looking website, well done is it worth considering putting links to EYFS or foundationyears.org? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for all your wonderful replies, and checking out our website great looking website, well done is it worth considering putting links to EYFS or foundationyears.org? Yes i could have more specific links straight to the EYFS and Foundationyears.org but the link we have in our links section to the foundationyears.org.uk is a great website and has lots of great information and contains the new EYFS, Dev Matters and a Parent Pack amongst lots of others.. Not sure if you noticed our links section? But thank you for your great advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
