The Need:

A friend of mine does ministry work with Global Training Network and needed a place to share about what he does and provide updates for his supporters.

Obstacles:

I needed to provide a way to add and edit updates. These updates needed to include images with the optional captions and a main paragraph. They also needed to be user friendly and secure.

I also needed to provide a way to edit the content of certain pages, i.e. the intro paragraph and embed video on the intro page.

On his previous webpage the forms were unfiltered, which resulted in many spam submissions.

Solutions:

To fulfill these needs I created an admin area that can only be accessed with a username and password. In this area I created a number of forms for updating different areas of the webpage and adding updates. I integrated a MongoDB database for storing the data and Cloudinary for images.

The form for adding updates included many features, including grouping photos that would share a caption and removing images if they changed their mind on including it. The updates also have a checkbox to publish it or to keep it as a draft to be worked on later.

I created an account with Google reCaptcha and added it to each of the forms. I decided to use the invisible version in order to remove the extra step for visitors.
