Help me to create a website program.
:WAVE:
I am not professional, and I am unexperienced.
The idea is, that i want to create website, where people would submit text and pictures to a website,without regestration.(Something like a blog) Other people will vote for article. If article is voted as bad many times, by many different computers' users, the article will be automatically removed.
I know only Visual Basic.
I hope that somebody allready had such experience before.
I do not know what to begin with.

you need a host with a database thats also supports server side scripting language such as php and asp, your in the wrong forum to be talking about web sites.

# 3 Re: Help me to create a website program.
I am in the wrong forum, but how would i explain to people, that i know only VB.
I have no idea, what to begin with.
I heared there is a special form for the program on the webpage to upload files to ftp server.
Program does not have to be complicated, the only idea is to submit text+image files and keep them in order on ftp.

I am afraid you are asking a wrong person.
I am not strong in VB, an i cannot teach, because i am not a professional, but just a hobbist, wh decided to create a website.
You do not want unexperienced hobbist teaching you.

# 8 Re: Help me to create a website program.
Thanks to everybody,
I found sourcecode examples on ftp program.
Right now i have the question what ftp server to play with, to understand how program works. I try to find one with direct ftp acces.
I hope you will recomend me hosting you once used.(Do not waste time on searching purposely for it)
I get tired of filling out information sheets, and realizing that the website does not allow to get to it's ftp server.
Is it possible to put regular VB exe file into a webpage somehow?
Idea is:
People will put articles and two pictures (maximium) on a page of my program and summit it on ftp server.
There will be several themes for an articles.
Other people(vote per computer user) will vote for article. (Have no idea how to do this part, probably should deal with cookie)
If article is voted as bad many times, it will automatically be deleted.
Also there will be forum to discuss articles.

I started programming from QBasic when I was nine. I did stupid stuff in it.
You can just buy book or download e-book on Visual Basic programming.
I hope you do not want unexperienced 15 year old uneducated programmer to teach you.

# 10 Re: Help me to create a website program.
Ok. Back on track...
If you want to use Visual Basic to do a website, you need to use ASP.Net (and select VB as your language).
That means you need ASP.net hosting. There are many good companies out there. I happen to use CrystalTech.com as my host. Pretty good prices and really good support.
No, you can't put a regular VB exe into a web page. You could have people download an exe, but that doesn't sound like what you want.
If you don't want to use ASP.Net for your hosting, then you need to learn a new programming language to get your project done. Or pay someone to write it for you.
# 11 Re: Help me to create a website program.
I allready stated, that i am not professional.
I cannot hire anybody, i want to learn myself.
Currently I am puzzled, where to find FREE webhost, that will give me acces to ftp folder itself. It will be perfect enviroment for me to practice with ftp server, and understand how it works.
So i will have to save it as something else, but exe.
Would it work, if i create this program in Microsoft Word, as a macros,
and the Word webpage with that macros will be thrown online :WAVE:

# 12 Re: Help me to create a website program.
Free ASP.Net hosting? You can check, but I haven't found any yet.
There are many free PHP hosting places, but that means you have to learn a new language (PHP).
No, you can't just publish a Word doc online and let the macros be your website. With ASP, you don't compile a project in the traditional sense. Although you actually do get a DLL and some resource files.
Check out the Web Developer Express (free) from Microsoft.

# 13 Re: Help me to create a website program.
I once tried to save file on hosting with macros...
Everything did not work.
I gues that is because of hosting type.
And i do not hek know what is PHP.
I AM NOT SURE php language can be helpful when it deals with ftp server.
Also when you start VB there is a window lots of types of programs you can be creating.
If i choose one that is not .exe related.
Which one should i choose?
PS:
Is it possible to open ftp files from brouser program by the instruction:
Open "......"

# 14 Re: Help me to create a website program.
PHP is a programming language. Primarily used for web creation, but you can use PHP for other things.
If you want to create websites using VB.Net, then go download the Web Developer Express package I linked to (in the previous message). You can't create a website with VB Classic.
As to your FTP questions, post them as a new thread, since they are a different question. FTP Upload/Downloading has nothing to do with creating a website. FTP is simple a means of transferring your files from your local machine to a remote machine.
# 15 Re: Help me to create a website program.
But the idea is that people will submit articles to my ftp server using the program
i am asking about here.
I described idea in post #9 very detailed.

# 16 Re: Help me to create a website program.
I wouldn't recommend giving the visitors direct FTP access. That can be exploited pretty easily if your not careful.
Either write or find a good "upload files" script that lets the visitor upload their files and store them on your server.
# 17 Re: Help me to create a website program.
That is true that I wll not give anybody my FTP itself.
Thanks for directing me, giving me idea on what scripts to begin with.

# 18 Re: Help me to create a website program.
I have two examples for program that uploads files to ftp from home machine.
Is it possible to make a website program out of one of them, so people can upload files by the use of one from online?
And how?
