Website Update Service or Automated Updates Program?

[Squirt]

Anyone know of a program that can automate my updates? Or a service that is reasonably priced? I've been looking into this and haven't found much.

Here are some good server side scripts for creating and
managing membrs area galleries:


WebWare, at http://www.adultwebware.com
This is a very full featured one. Too full featured for my tastes,
as I prefer simplicity. Many webmasters seem to like it a lot though.
If you mention coupon code "STRONGBOX10" there is a $35 discount.
I think that one runs about $350 before the discount.
Alex, the programmer, can be reached at support@adultwebware.com
or on ICQ 166487010.


a-ConMan at http://sourceforge.net/projects/a-conman/ and
http://www.bettercgi.com/a-conman/screenshots/
This one used to sell for $3,500. It's nice because you can manage
several sites from one interfce using one content database.
The company went out of business after they lost their programmer
and now the script is free and open source. I've taken over as project
manager.
I don't have a nice web site up for it yet, but it's a pretty good script.
You can find old posts from people who paid $3,500 for it and were happy with
it.
Myself, I'm not THAT jazzed about it, I'd probably be happy with it
for $200, but I don't think it's worth the $3,500 it used to sell for.
You can download the script for free but I just started writing the
documentation so having me install it will probably save you
about 2 days of strugging with it. I charge $200 to install and support it.

The above two scripts create static galleries and rotate them.
One plugin gallery provider wanted dynamic galleries where
the user could click on a models name, for example, and get a
listing of all galleries with the model. The user could also select
a category and get a list of all galleries in that category, or search
for all sets of chicks with a-cup boobs, or red hair, or even red headed
chicks with a-cup boobs. This is cool because you can make feeder
sites instantly. The entire content section of the feeder
site is just a call to the script. For example, if you want
to have a "bit titted redheads" site the members URL would be:
/cgi-bin/rmeecontent/psetsearch.cgi?hair=red&brafrom=c&brato=z.
For that we made some modifications to my content store script and
it really works great. This last script is my favorite for sure,
but my taste in scripts may not be the same as yours.

All of the above scripts are certified Strongbox compatible,
so they will work with the state of the art defense system
needed by todays pay sites.

Sweet thanks Ray! I assume this will work for rotating video, front pages etc as well?

I just need a simple program that will update my site once a week and wont take me a month to learn LOL

Thanks again Raymor this looks promising.

The first two will rotate pics, video, etc.
The onyl change to the front page would be the links
to the new galleries. AWW might be able to rotate
some other things on the frontpage.
Either a-ConMan or my own as yet unnamed script
could be tweaked to do that.
My dynamic script currently shows sets as they
are added through the admin interface but it would be
a minor tweak to get it to to rotation.
I'd include a rotation function built just how you like
it if you decided that the dynamic functions
would be useful to you - ie the ability to instantly create
your own single or multiple category links,
the search capabilities, etc.

Ok kewl. Yeah all I need is for once a week.. a program to update a few paysites I have. It needs to update my front page, the main members page, add the new models main members page with galleries and video, and add a preview page to the non members area. I need the program to do this for a few different sites.

aConMan is good at managing several different sites
from one interface. It's admin interface is a bit
clunky though. Since I took over the project
I've been trying to improve that.

A simple one-off solution with a bit of SSI and what not
is always an option too. You don't get the neat admin
interface to work with, but you're not forced
to work within the rigid framework of the existing script.

That's a hell of a name, isn't it~
I just might change that name.
What's ironic is that the company who used
to sell aConMan (for $3,500) went out of business
when they lost their programmer and apparently
a couple of people were left hanging, having paid,
but not getting the system installed.
I think another guy at the company finally found a new programmer to do the installs
months later, but for a while it looked like
a-ConMan was being sold by a conman.
After that company shut down due to having no programmer
they released the software as open source and
later I took over as project manager.

Excellent information in that article Lee, as always. I'm going to follow the steps suggested and hopefully find a solution that's right for me.

Thanks again!
