How To Make A News Website !



Dear Friends
Hope you all doing great

First, thanks for making life easier for me, by helping me whenever I
needed you.
Its been quite sometime that I have worked on websites, designing them,
programming backend database, for them and others. But till now I havent
worked on a project which could prepare me for m current project.

My current project is for an organization which publishes its magazine
in different languages. Right now they have only three languages but
they are planning of expansion. And obviously they want to have an
online version of it too.
I am working on it right now. And for that I visited several website, of
magazine and newspapers and newagencies. And tried to figure out how
they work, analysed what is going on behind. What I find mostly is that
there is one single template, with all the tables with rows and columns
designed which never change, and the middle part where the article text
comes only that changes. And if there is an image associated with it,
then that images is shown, to all the articles at one pre-defined place.
After seeing a lot of websites on the related topic, I came up up with
few queries.

- Visit this page, http://www.internetnews.com/xSP/article.php/3343161
This page have few links within the article, to company profile, to
definition, to wuotes, etc. I wish to know how the did it.
To me it was something like a character inserted while the article was
entered in database, and when that article is asked for, this particular
character is replaced by link to the defnition page, etc.
I know I am wrong. So please tell me how can we do that.

- Mostly all the articles on all the websites are just one plain colour,
black, grey or whatever it maybe. At most they will have a bold,
itallics, or underlined words. Now the bold tag comes with <b>___</b>.
Now if you search for say <b> at the website, search yields no result.
That means again they have a particular character inserted before and
after the text which they wan tto bold, which is replaced by the tags
when presented to visitor.
I know I am wrong. So please tell me how can we do that.

- But my wish is to give more colour, design to the website articles.
This way it looks that every article has been given a due time, not just
fed up in the database. And I am ready to give that much time. For that
I thought that I make html pages and include them on user selection to
the basic template. I can do that, as I have done it in earlier website.
BUT in that website I was not required to put SEARCH feature. In this
website I need to put in search feature.
So please let me know how I can have more design colour, tables,
bulleted lists, etc and still create search feature.
And if you get any website which does something like that, please let me
know.

I know I am asking too much. But any help in anyway will be thanked for.

Hope to listen from you all.

Love
Lovely

What's wrong with that method? Of course, you'll need some way to
determine the destination URL from what you type in to the article.

Whatever you decide, you probably won't be using JavaScript to do it.
Go for PHP, even ASP.

Dear Hywel
Hope you doing great

Thanks for replying.
Atlest I was thinking on the right side. I hope to get this thing done,
since my post I have been thinking on this a lot and got few more ideas,
and hope to get this thing going.

And certainly your reply gave me an idea that alteast I am thinking on
the right lines.
And I am developing the whole website using ASP.

But there are few queries in the original post unanswered or , I am
still looking for their soloution, specially the last one.

Thanks once again for replying.

Love
Lovely

And I really dont know how it got posted to javascript group. I just
checked it, and now I understand why you said use ASP or PHP rather than
javascript.

In my window even now ASP in top navigation bar is highlighted but the
group name is coming something else.

If mistake was on my side, I am sorry. But if it was on software side,
we need to check that.

Love
Lovely

I have no idea id of what you're talking about. I assume you're talking
to me simply because in the five years or so that I've been reading this
group I've never seen anyone with the same name as me.
