Greetings. I'm new here and not a PERL scripter, but have worked some with existing CGI scripts. I am working on sites for a couple of clients (I mostly do basic HTML pages) who would like to be able to configure one page on their site through a web interface. I have searched extensively, but have yet to find a perfect match for their needs on the web. Could you kindly offer a suggestion or two of where to find existing CGI scripts that will do what I have listed below? I would love other ideas on how to do this as well, even quotes.
GALLERY: Client wants a page that will display a two-column, x-row, table with thumbnail images on the left side and text on the right side for a site listing items for sale. Ideally, the image, text, or a button (any or all) could be clicked to display a full-size image perhaps with the same text as is in the table. Some of the "auction" scripts that are out there could work nicely, but I have not found any that seem to include images, and I am concerned that they are too limiting in terms of configuring size and color in the design.
Another option for the Gallery would have a vertical list of images in a left frame that could be scrolled. When the user clicks on the left image, then a full size image would appear in a right frame with descriptive text.
EVENTS: I am working on simple sites for a couple of musicians who would like to be able to update their own "upcoming performances" schedule page. So, I need something that will list such events and allow the user to edit the listing from a web interface. This too must be easily configurable for me in terms of size and color, and must not include misleading links (like "add a posting") unless I can easily remove those from the display.
Thank you so much, in advance, for your thoughts and suggestions.
All my best wishes,
Will
