Hi,
I am searching around the web for an information management solution. Your database script looks similar to what I need.
Perhaps you can help. I manage an non-profit academic site for a retired professor and I would like to store his papers in a searchable database. It would entail 4 levels of data:
1. The first page that visitors would see would be a link to different categories of papers he has written.
2. On the second page the visitor would see a listing of paper titles to choose from, preferably in chronological order by the date of publication.
3. Then, when the visitor chooses to click a paper title, this would take them to the paper abstract. On this page would be the abstract, plus there would be a link to the *full-text paper if it is available.
4. The last level of the database would display the *full-text paper (if it is available).
* Some of the papers are rather long, so I would not be able to paste them into a web form because of the character constraints. What I would like to do is have a second and third empty form so that any spill-over text could be entered to create new pages. This would mean that at the end of page one (if the paper is long) there would be a link to the next page with a "continue to page 2" link - and then, a page 3 if the paper was really long.
So, my questions is: Will this script do this? Can it be done? Can your script be modified to do this? If your script cannot do this, do you know a possible solution that I should look into?
Thanks so much for your time.
Sincerely,
