I use the database to present some pages because it’s just easier to deal with. At one time I was using a Mod for Invision Power Boards to add simple pages to present info on various IRC information. I really wasn’t happy with how it worked and rather than edit something that could break again in future forum updates I decided to make my own system.

Each page has a link that only the admin can see that allows you to pop up a window in which you can edit the page’s html coding. I only use this method for a few information pages that do not require extra php coding.

Features:

1. Quick launch link directly from the page you want to edit.
2. Auto insertion of links to menu on creation
3. Alert popup to ensure you really meant to update the page.
4. Ability to delete the page
5. On submit the window refreshes the information and the page refreshes as well.

Here is what the process looks like
