Question of the Day: What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?
Editing a PHP file
- Thread starter marine1

Marine, just because the file has a .php extension doesn't mean it contains php code.
It will be be a mix of HTML with php code in it, also it can be HTML alone though unlikely with an online store.
Seeing as it is one of the online store packages, you'll most likely find comments in that file that give you directions to how and what you can change.
You won't find an online store template that only uses HTML.

Thanks man, yeah so basically there are no online commerce interfaces that one could edit in a GUI situation.
Really sucks as I wanted to try this on my own without having to learn code.
I dont want to do this as a business, creating websites, just wanted to do it for myself.
I am now playing around with Joomla

Be vewy, vewy caweful.
Nothing wrong with playing around with the scripts/templates, you can always uninstall them. Once you're doing website it is constant maintenance in certain areas anyway, so don't think it'll be once off.
An idea might be to go through one of the Dreamweaver tuts when there's time. It is the closest you'll get to GUI though I'm sure there's others.
Who's done website's with Eclipse here?

For every 10 compromised boxes I get to work on, for 9 of them the compromise started with Joomla or Mambo.
Some things you should do, or let me rephrase: You shouldn't run Joomla unless you take care of the following:
1. Make sure you keep it up to date.
2. Do not, I repeat: DO NOT make the whole installation writeable to the web server. Set every read-only to the web server, except what absolutely has to be writeable to the web server.
3. Make sure any upload area are on a filesystem that is mounted with the option 'noexec'
To be frank, the above is true for any website, especially popular content management systems. Joomla is just particularly vulnerable and a particularly popular target.
I would suggest using a lovely little proggy called PSPad http://www.pspad.com/
