designated members of the site can access it and make simple text
& photo updates themselves. Can this be done this Dreamweaver
CS# and javascript?

There are a lot of different ways this can be done, providing
varying levels
of ease and varying capabilities for your client.
At the lowest level, you could set up a couple of individual
pages on the
site so that Client could edit the text only. You could
probably figure out
how to do that in a few hours with some help.
At the highest level, Client would log in to a full-size
Administration
module allowing him to edit anything and everything on the
web site. This
would probably take you a few weeks to put together, if
you're fairly
knowledgable about code. If not, better allow longer.
It can be done with Dreamweaver CS3, but you'll need an
already-written
script of some kind. As Joeq posted, this is generally called
a "content
management system", so that would be one way to Google for
scripts.
There's also Contribute, an Adobe program, which functions
kind of like a
CMS, but involves software which must run on Client's
computer.
Hope that helps,

  • Why use mail client over web site mail inteface?

    Hello.
    I had question to all emial client user's:
    Why use mail client over web site mail inteface?
    And I have one more question.
    Is there any option to backup/compress your mail in mutt or thunderbird?

    Do you use header caching? It can accelerate remote imap access, but is disabled by default. Also playing with imap_idle (yes, if server supports), imap_keepalive (low) and timeout (high) may produce nice results.
    i've tried everything (always caching, and setting various imap_* options).  trust me.  it's funny, it wasn't bad at first, then one day i'd hit j/k and 3 seconds later the indicator would move... that's when i set up offlineimap.
    I'm very happy with this maildir setup now .  thanks anyway tho.
    OMG, mutt is flying right now! Even with header and message cache is mutt + imap not the fastest. I reccomend offlineimap for everyone.

  • Creating a new web site -- updating an old one

    Hi all,
    I have a web site that I haven't updated in maybe five years. I didn't have the Mac then. I created it with Microsoft FrontPage.
    How would I go about updating this site from my Mac?
    I might just want to start completely over with a new design and content. What tool/program do you recommend? Is there a way to see what I can do with it before buying anything? Is there a free program that I can get started with?
    Thanks!

    Hi Bruce,
    Yes, you can keep your domain name to use with iWeb. After completing it, publish your completed site to a folder instead of .Mac and then use an ftp program to load to your personal domain. Obviously you would need to remove the original folders that you created in FrontPage. You do loose some of the functions of iWeb by doing it this way though.
    You can also go to your .Mac account and add your personal domain and then use a CNAME alias to point iWeb to your personal domain. This might be the easier way to do it.
    I don't think iWeb and iLife 08 are compatible with OS 10.3. You would have to upgrade to at least OS 10.4. I had an old iMac with 10.3 and I never had iLife on it. I did however have a MacBook with 10.4 and that had iLife 06 on it. I now have iLife 08 which is even better.
    Good luck. I am also in the process of updating a website of mine that I originally created with FrontPage on a PC with iWeb. I have two websites and decided to do this for the sake of uniformity but with different colours. I think you will be pleased with the result. My new iWeb site looks fresher in comparison to my now dull and boring FrontPage site. iWeb certainly looks more professional than FrontPage.

  • Disabled components enabled on client side don't update

    If I set a component in my jsp as disabled, such as a checkbox, it shows up on the client side disabled as one would expect.
    However, if I use javascript to enable it, and change it's value, then submit the page, the value is never updated as you would expect.
    What's the scoop?
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    Here's one possible solution until we can figure out something more
    clean.
    You're using client JavaScript to modify the enabled/disabled state of a
    component in the page, and you want that setting to be reflected when
    the page is processed by JSF, right? Well, have you client javascript
    generate a hidden field containing the enabled/disabled state of the
    component. You install a PhaseListener for the before
    ApplyRequestValues phase that looks for the hidden field and modifies
    the component accordingly.
    This isn't as hacky as it sounds when you consider that you can use such
    a "before" phase to handle any and all JS mods and apply them to the
    component tree before any decoding occurrs.

  • Adding an e-Commerce template to existing BC online web site?

    Has anyone out there started with a Muse design, and after completeing it, then did add an ecommerce template?
    There are many ways to get to the mountian... I don't see a path yet.
    Conern is for menu integration with the existing client content/web site (created in Muse) and eCommerce Template.
    Is this integration possible? Key question. 
    If so though what interface: BC, Muse, Dreamweaver, Other?
    In other words:
    Q: How does one join an active client muse site to a BC eComerce Template: what is the best process GIVEN initial client design is in MUSE?
    >>>I am going around and around missing the best practice or process to accomlish taking a MUSE on line web site, and ADDING and eCommerce Template so the store is there too.
    IS THERE A SIMPLE WAY TO LINK A MUSE SITE THAT IS ACTIVE, TO A BC ECOMMERCE TEMPLATE AND HAVE THE MENUS AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST?
    OR  DO i have to do something different?
    It appears to me that going from a Muse Content created site on BC, to having that same BC site augmented with e-commerce, needs to be done in the BC on line interface versus Dreamweaver or Muse.
    Perhaps it is a matter of order.... template first but then how to use MUSE to do the front end...
    ????? I must be missing some simple concept here....
    Getting ready to experiment and hoping for some pointers as I start the challenge of the process. After looking on line and asking questions of BC and others... i have a couple of man days into this scenario.  Hoping for insight from the BC universe! lol... thanks y'all.
    Cheers!

    Sorry . i am a bit lost and under pressure to perform on this project...
    just attempting to find help. I am new to asking for help in this system,
    but desperate to move ahead...  BC is the product that is most important
    here: Muse is great ... however...  I can do without muse... but can not
    accomplish this project without the functions of BC.

  • Web Sites GONE in 10.6.2 Update, Web Services

    Installed the new 10.6.2 server update, now all of my web services site are gone. They still exists on the drive and in the folders, but web services will no longer configure or save due to errors stating null fields, even though fields are completed appropriately for setup. What happened?

    Here is the error I am getting:

  • Why does IE8 running on XP and Win7 Virtual Machine deletes the history while I'm still browsing the same site with client-side hashbang routing?

    Hello, 
    I have a asp.net mvc 5 web application running on .net 4.5 hosted on my local windows 8 machine on macbook pro using parallels. I'm running Internet Explorer 8 Version: 8.0.6001.18702 running on XP and Version: 8.0.7601.17514 running on Windows 7 Enterprise.
     I've got both of the virtual machine source from www.modern.ie 
    My web application is attempting to provide single page user experience by having some client-side routing by using '#!/xxx' hashbangs in the url so that I can get and post via ajax and change the hash in  the url without causing the page to reload. My
    code works fine in IE9+ and other modern browsers.
    However, I'm facing this strange issue in both of the IE8 versions. When running my demo app in IE8, I can login, view home page and can navigate from this home page to many details page. From the very first login page, all the pages are the result
    of form's post action via ajax which then expects html from server and loads in the DOM. The page structure of my app is like summary form => Details page (can also contain summary forms) => Details...so on.
    The above process works fine for few of the navigation steps. If I keep navigating from one page to another & go back, I have observed that the browser back button is removing the history items slowly. And a time comes when it totally forgets about
    all the history pages that I visited to reach this current page I'm viewing!! It treats like I have just started my browsing session and this current page is the first page I've landed on with no back option. Now if I again try to navigate, I have encountered
    problems like both the back and forward buttons gets disabled.
    Hope, my words above is clear enough to explain this problem. The same application works fine in IE9+ and other browsers. 
    Till now, I have tried following steps on both VMs: 
    Resetting IE8.
    Increasing disk space to 1024mb for temporary internet files storage.
    Setting 'Never' for Check for newer versions of stored pages.
    Disabling the automatic crash recovery feature didn't helped in this case. Found this on support website.
    Deleted temporary files, history, cache, etc many a times.
    Search many forums, posted question on StackOverflow, ASP.NET
    Forums - but didn't helped.
    Tried 'beforeunload' event of browser to see if any of the page is reloading because of submit or any other reason. But the page doesn't reload at all.
    The issue is browser forgets about the browsing history while I'm still browsing the same site. 
    Is there any possible fix for the issue above? Does IE8 have any issues as many ajax form post is happening on every page? 

    I have really tried many things to identify any possible reason of the issue above. Even rewrote all my javascript navigation code and checked server-side code.
    But the only place where I got the solution is at site: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/bugs.asp which states that there is a bug in IE8 which reads like:
     IE0012: IE Travellog broken when navigating back/away from a page with
     a large POST form If there is a form input field with a value longer
     than 523,659 characters, when you navigate away from the page, IE may
     clear the current session's travellog (similar to history), disabling
     the back and forward buttons. Repros in IE6 & IE7.
    There are following solutions that you can go for:
    - Check for the input field that has lots of characters as mentioned above and solve your problem.
    - If you have control over the system where IE8 will be used, you can add the following registry key on that machine. There is no existing key, so, you need to add a new one:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TravelLog] "MaxSize"=dword:ffffffff
    I am really relaxed to find this information as I spent really long time to solve this issue. Hope this will help someone.

  • IWeb not updating web site.

    iWeb started out working okay. I kept a blog and updated it. Then I went on a trip. Even though I had wireless internet the whole time, updating kept failing. No error message, but the update clock would stop after being about one-quarter filled. When I came home, there was no difference.
    Although this started months ago (before the whole .Mac to MobileMe changeover), I do believe my recent inability to update my web site is related to it. The reason is that although I can access the last updated version of my web site at "web.me.com/myaccountname", when I go to my current iDisk and open the "sites" folder, it's empty!
    Is it possible that my account has not yet been changed over to MobileMe yet? I have already installed all OS updates, including the MobileMe update. My account logs in fine.
    Any ideas?????

    Hey maybe you need to replace only the page that was updated, do not change all the published site, try I just did it and it work I have change a page and a file to be downloaded from the web site, now I can see the changes live on the web. this is what I wrote to others.
    Hey I have found not a solution but a way to publish without iWeb, Just did it and I have seen the changes on the web site. If you guys want to try:
    I have published my updated web site to a folder on my desktop. then open iDisk from the web (where my web sites files are stored for everyone else to see) then open both windows side by side and only replace the files of the updated pages from the desktop folder to the iDisk folder, there is always a file and a folder with the same name. I just replace them, I then checked on the web and Woalah! changes were made. Well... it did work for now without iWeb, not sure if is the right thing to do but if you are brave enough to follow this go ahead and go to bed as I will until the bug is fixed (hopefully tomorrow) then we can go back to normal. Hope is clear and it help! Rog

  • Client-side caching of Javascript (for Google Web Toolkit *.cache.* files

    Hi all,
    I'm trying out the use of Google Web Toolkit (GWT) for AJAX code development, leveraging RPC calling back-end Web Services for a document browser prototype.  When the JavaScript code is generated by GWT, it has the ability to automatically distinguish between cacheable and non-cacheable content via file extensions (.cache. and .nocache.).
    Now when running in a Tomcat environment with appropriate caching settings; the application runs extremely fast even on really poor latency sites (>500ms round trip); however on a NetWeaver stack, I can't find any information on how to set an attribute on .cache. files to set an expiry of 1 year.
    Anyone know how to do this on a NetWeaver J2EE stack?
    Thanks,
    Matt
    PS. For reference, GWT is a very cool open source project worth watching in the Enterprise space for targeted high-usability, high performance apps.  Just the image bundles concept themselves are an awesome approach to minimizing impact of small images on performance.

    Hi again,
    I thought I should post the solution I came up with in case people search on GWT in the future.  In terms of caching, the Portal does a good job of making nearly everything that GWT produces to be cached at the client; and for the life of me, I couldn't get nocache files not cached at the client side. 
    So thanks to my friendly local SAP experts in the portal space; I discovered there's not much you can do to get this working except try use standard browser tags like the following to prevent caching on the browser:
    Note - Can't seem to save this post in SDN with Meta tags that I'm trying to display so check out http://www.willmaster.com/library/tutorials/preventing_content_cache.php for more info...
    Unfortunately, the way that GWT creates the nocache files, it is not possible to modify the .js files to do this so I needed an alternative approach.
    Then I thought, well, the html file that includes the JS file is cached, but it's not very big, so how about I just write a script to modify the html file when I deploy to production to point to the nocache file with a date suffix.
    Let me explain in more detail:
    1. The original html file that includes the nocache.js file gets modified to point to nocache.<date>.js.
    2. The original nocache.js file gets changed to nocache.<date>.js
    3. Now produce an external bat file to do this automatically for you before deployment which DevStudio can call as part of an Ant script or similar.
    That's it.  So when you are developing, you can manually delete your cache, but just before you go to production, you do this conversion, and you will never have an issue with clients having the wrong version of javascript files. 
    Note - GWT takes care of caching of most of the files by using a GUID equivalenet each time you compile, so it's just a couple of files that really need to not be cached.
    Anyway, I'm not explaining this solution very well, but drop us a line if you need to understand this approach further.
    And lastly, my feedback about GWT - It Rocks!  Everyone loves the result, it's easy to build and maintain, it offers a great user experience, and it's fast.  Not a replacement for transactional apps; but for the occasional user - go for it.

    You will need custom code for this, but since the amount is minimal and this is Stack Overflow I assume that won't be a problem. You will want to make your own listview web part that queries the list using ListViewByQuery. An example can be found here:

  • My hard drive crashed recently and i can no longer see my web site address in the iWeb side bar

    I can n o longer see my web site address in the iweb side bar, how can I relocate it so i can edit my website

    Let me start with the general advise...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • ICal Update Fiasco: Publishing to web site

    This latest update seems to be a total disaster!
    First, the disappearing items from all calendars. After syncing them back from MobileMe, all my calendars now show up under a MobileMe directory instead of On My Mac. What about if I didn't have a MobileMe account? What if I cancelled my MobileMe account? Would I lose everything forever?
    Now, the calendars that I have published before inside iframes at my web site will not update.
    I have several, but previously I just had to specify "http://ical.me.com/cwhaley/Toronto_Live Music" as the SRC in my iframe and the latest version of the calendar appeared there. Now, no events have been updated since the latest update fiasco. Can this be fixed?
    The previous Publish routine was so simple. Now it's a mess.
    Help!

    It's very frustrating! At least you seem to still have your On My Mac Calendars. Mine disappeared and I don't know how to get back to having my events on my computer. I have some duplicate calendars (for no reason) but they're all on MobileMe. I don't want to be a slave to that service.
    Unfortunately, Apple employees don't contribute to these forums. It's all volunteers... folks who apparently know a little more than us.
    Generally, I've been happy with the help I've been getting through Apple Discussions, but no one seems to understand what's going on with these latest iCal problems.
    I'm used to help within a couple days. These iCal problems go back to mid-December.
    I guess we'll just have to be patient, but I really depend on iCal to be stable and reliable.. both on my desktop and my various published calendars.
