Building a Forum - Help over this topic

I’m intending to build a forum like the one that we are
using at this moment.
I’m basically a designer and I have experience building
web pages on my computer and then transferring all through FTP to a
Host with the Dreamweaver. So everything is simple stuff up to now.
Now I want to go a step further and start to build a Forum
but I’m not sure if Dreamweavre has the capability to build,
run, and update such applications.
If it does. Could some one give me a hint to the right
direction? Some examples, some tutorials, templates?
The forum is though to be serving some 100,000 persons, at
the same time that publicity space is sold through the site.
I need to know if it’s possible to build such an
application directly on my computer and then export everything to a
host, manage users of the site and control publicity.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
My best regards.

Dreamweaver is certainly capable of support the development
of a forum application, but are you? To succeed you will need to
become proficient in database design, SQL, and some programming
(scripting) language. Based on your question, I would guess you're
not at that level. I would estimate that it would take 1 good
programmer at least 1 year working full time to build something
equal to the Adobe forums.
Instead, why not just look at integrating one of the many
forum packages that already exist? What server side language were
you planning to use for this project? There are a few good FREE
packages available for PHP and ASP.

  • Can anyone help on this Topic

    Hi Glenn/tim/Brain/Sandeep/dornakal/Douglus
    Problem with report script i am discussing on this topic since one week Douglus had given solution & suggestions , followed that but no data is coming.
    So is there anything wrong on doing this & i tried to retrieve form sample data base ,same problem .can we have any settings for script ...then what is wrong ...can you plz solve it...
    If possible send any Ex.scripts ....already i gone thru help ex .scripts..other than that.
    i dont want to distrub u guys again on this topic ......
    Thanks & rgds,
    Bunny

    Bunney:
    It is assumed at this point that the report script you use in essbase does NOT contain the greater than signs that the forum inserts.
    As I suggested on your other thread and Glenn has suggested here, the first step is to prototype an excel retrieval and then convert that retrieval into a report script.
    What is not well known by many is that you can use a report script inside excel too. All you need to do is go to the mode tab within essbase options and select free form instead of advanced interpretation (you'll want to revert it back for normal use). In free form mode, the report script can be used in a spreadsheet.
    Of course, the whole idea is to create the normal template that retrieves data, and then create the report script equivalent. So, the idea of using free form is just a way to help verify that you don't have an issue with the report engine itself.

  • Please EveryBody look Over this topic..., really interesting.....

    Hai Folks,
    i have developed an web application, which is a product for a bank.
    evry thing was working fine.As a new requirement i had a challenging task.
    Task is that, when the user log into my application, none other than this application should be visible on the screen, even the IE menu.
    Open any of the web application nd PRESS F11, see the screen appears. My req. is without pressing F11, when the user logs in automatically it should open as such(AS F11 is PRESSED.)
    This is possible in apllication developed in C. If anyone can help me out in this respect, i would be very thank ful.
    Thanks in advance.............

    By the way i must apologise for the subject title -- had to put it because no-one seems to wanna look at this question when entitled "resource description framework"! Maybe thats because I don't know what RDF is so I don't want to waste our time reading posts that I can't help solve.
    The topic is meant to be descriptive for a reason - use it.

  • Having problem with adobe reader in opening websites pdf content, can someone help in this topic ??

    Give me some suitable answer for my problem.

    Hi,
    Your question is not about FormsCentral. I suggest you to check whether Adobe Reader is enabled on your web browser's add-in list. For example, on Chrome you may type in "chrome://plugins/" to open the Plug-ins list, and check the status of Adobe Reader. If it's not the latest version, you may update it as well.
    You may go to Adobe Reader's forums and start a discussion if you like: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums
    Kind regards,

  • Plz help On this Topic

    Hi
    How to run Servlets in WebSphere Application Server?
    Any One can Help Me Plz
    Bye
    Kumar

    You have to do a few thing before seeing running your servlet.
    0- Supposing you have developed your servlet....
    1- You have to generate a WAR file for your application.
    2- You have to install the new Application under WAS.
    3- You have to configurate the web server so it can redirect the requests to the servlet.
    4- You have to open you browser and call the servlet.
    Easy, mmm...???
    Actually isn't quite easy. It has a lot of problems to deploy, configure an run an Enterprise Application in WAS. Try looking up the ibm's redbooks (www.redbooks.ibm.com ) for detailed information.
    Good Luck!!!

  • HT4972 I cannot back up my IPad because I have a corrupted backup. I need to delete it but cannot locate it on my computer or find help on this topic. I would appreciate any help.

    I cannot back up my IPad because I have a corrupted backup that I need to delete. The problem is I cannot locate the file to delete it. How do you locate the backup file?

    You have the latest version of iTunes on your computer (on a PC 'Help > Check For Updates' ; on a Mac 'iTunes > Check For Updates') ? You could also try ejecting the iPad and rebooting your PC and the iPad : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you still get the same error then check whether it has actually deleted the backup (if you have other devices that you backup to that computer then they will also have backups) - they are stored under :
    Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • How can I add a "Was this Topic Helpful" statement

    RoboHelp 11
    I'm sorry if this has come up and I wasn't able to find the anser, but is there any way to add a statement: Was this topic helpful? Yes No to the end of a topic. It seems many Help programs, including your own, have this capability. If this does not exist within RoboHelp 11, how can it be added? (And, how is it compiled.)
    This may be a very naive question, but I'm grateful for any help.
    Thanks!

    First off – you do realize that this is a user-to-user forum, right? There’s no “including your own help” Adobe people here that you’re talking to ;>)

  • Approximately 6% of all requests for help on this forum are ever "solved."

    Approximately 6% of all requests for help on this forum are ever "solved." And approximately 34% of all requests for help on this forum are never responded to. Even with all the caveats, these numbers are embarrassing. Good luck everyone!

    More facts and stats from the horse's mouth - http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/annualreport/2009/sustainability.html
    "Total assets as of December 31, 2009 were $143 million compared with $116 million at the end of 2008, an increase of 23 percent. Unrestricted net assets at the end of 2009 were $120 million compared with $94 million in 2008, a 28 percent increase."
    "Mozilla consolidated expenses for 2009 were $61 million, up approximately 26 percent from 2008 expenses of $49 million. Mozilla operating expenses in 2009 continued to remain highly focused on people and infrastructure."
    "At the end of 2009, Mozilla was funding approximately 250 people working around the world."
    Yes, Mozilla is indeed doing very well but they're a bit worried about the IRS audit that is currently going on.
    Now, if we take the figure from the 2008 cnet article that 80% of expenses are spent on Mozilla employees as a relatively stable benchmark for 2009, we see that employee salaries averaged out to around $200,000 dollars annually for each employee, which obviously isn't what each employee is actually getting paid, but what it does mean is that given typical corporate scaling of salaries, some folks in this non-profit are making lots and lots of money.
    The individuals who should be the most upset about Mozilla's unwillingness to invest even a fraction of its profits into building a real and responsive user support system are the collective-community-driven-volunteers who commit their free time so Mozilla can continue to cash in big time at their expense. A brilliant model!
    Again, Firefox users appreciate the work that you and the other unpaid/unacknowledged volunteers do here.... Mozilla appreciates it more.

  • It just doesn't work and help is needed, hence why I'm on a Forum? Brownie points for whoever can help on this one...

    So. As always, it's about iTunes - as Apple is the most inconvenient corporation ever founded. Anyway! I've had this problem for about 6 months and haven't bothered to ask anyone. I've restored the computer numerous times and tried to fix the issue with help from other nonsensical forums. The problem is that 'apple mobile device service' is eating up a large amount of CPU, and therefore tends to make the computer run like a log. I have uninstalled it before but then iTunes won't recognize my iPod - funnily enough. As well as this, iTunes won't connect to the store? However, it doesn't say it's not, it just doesn't load. It states that it is 'accessing iTunes store', but it's not. I'm running all of this on a windows 7 Acer extensa 5235 - just in case that helps. It probably won't, but you guys are clever, right? I mean, I could probably ask you to peel an orange for me, and you'd do it without even physically touching it. Just with the power of your omnipotent minds. Anyway yeah, if anyone can help on this one, would be much appreciated.

    Wow what a rambling mess and complete waste of time.
    Did you try a search of the forums for similar issues?  Doing so would have revealed multiple similar issues with valid troubleshooting, saved you time, and saved those that have read that crap from being subject to your rambling psychosis.
    FYI, in the future, get to the point and cut the crap when asking for help.
    Oh, completely uninstall iTunes and reinstall the current version of iTunes.

  • Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

    Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

    Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
    Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
    If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.
