[TYPO3-dev] Need a special extension/help

[Andreas Balzer]

Hi!
Well, in my case, i need it for a schoolwebsite w w w . e s s - e r f u r t 
. d e (please remove spaces.. just that G o o g l e won't index it..)

You know, the pupils have the time to learn, how all the BE stuff works, and 
some teachers too. But if you want to give the teachers "special" tasks like 
"Create your own contents for our website, and upload them, you have your 
own useraccount there and it works like.. and there is the documentation 
with many videos and flash movies" they just say "why don't you do that??" 
So currently we have to add thousands of pages in our website.. And everyday 
more are comming.. So.. our problem: every written page of our teachers is 
made with M$ Word.. So we have to extract the contents, clear all these word 
tags, insert the text in our typo3 BE and save it.. Some would say, that 
it's possible just to upload the word docs, and typo3 could get it and save 
it as html, but our server is saying "no" to that kind of thing with many 
php errors.. (don't know why.. ..but our hoster isn't that good..)

Ok.. So we're looking for an other method. The easiest way would be, to 
create a word script and a dot file where all the Be users could just write 
their text in their normal everyday program and just hit the button "upload 
all that stuff to the website" where a wizzard would pop up and you have the 
possibility to log in, and then you just say, that the file should be placed 
in the second sub category of the Typo3 website root.. The wizzard could 
then add the create, last edit, from to times, etc.. sets the flag to 
visible, send an eMail to the admin (just to see if everythings fine) and 
finaly the wizzard could do all the rest of the work a user would normaly 
have to do in the Typo3 BE.. The only difference is, that you have
1) enter your login informations (username and password), click on Login or 
Next in a usual and well-known windows window, then click at the page tree 
where the site should be uploaded to and finaly confirm everything with 
next.. Just about 5 clicks and the page is online with everything that has 
to be done.. Automaticly..

And if we have that, we just create a script for Windows, where you can see 
the pagetree of Typo3 like a normal Windows folder in your Windows work 
place. (like you can mount a webfolder)

We already have a working solution for images, but a solution for texts 
would be nice..
