Dynamic webpage content

Hi all,
I have created an admin area for a website and want the user
to have the ability to edit the content of certain pages.
I have been doing some reading up and i think i will need to
use the spry feature of Dreamweaver.
Can anybody tell me what is the best method of doing this?
XML file to hold content, 'edit page' edits this xml page?
Store content in database and edit this?
Or is there any easier way?
thanks for help with this.

Try posting on the dreamweaver.appdev forum, please.

  • Create dynamic webpages from Content management system

    We have a requirement where the user would add a content for a "type = adCampaign". This content (for this type)then should create a dynamic webpage.
    The html template (for the dynamic page) remains the same. Only the images and the static content changes.
    Does anyone know how to achieve this?
    I was looking at adTargetContent tag. Does anybody have any examples of this usage.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi,
    Have you looked into the personalization and campaign management features in WLP 8.1? It sounds like they will do what you need, but if not, please give us some more details about what you're trying to do.

  • Dynamically Updating Content Server Portlets

    [urlHi, I am currently having difficulty dynamically updating content server portlets.  I have a portlet of the following form:[/url]
    ArticleName Author Title Date mystory author1 title1 04/05/01
    story2 author2 title2 06/07/04
    story author3 title3 01/02/03
    So I have this table where each one of the line items is an article in the content server. So, for example the first line item is an article "mystory" by "author1", with title "title1" and date "04/05/01" additionally there is an article text field, but this isn't displayed unless I click on the article name.
    I can set up the basics of this portlet, but when I try to add any real functionality I run into one of two problems.
    First Problem: Passing Information
    I cannot find a way to pass information between content portlets. For instance, if the user would like to "re-sort" this table based on "date", I would like to have the user click on the "date" column heading and then reload the page. To do so, I would have to pass the section name back to the page so that it could resort based on this data. I have not found anyway to effectively pass information to a content server portlet. I am building these pages through use of the presentation template framework (so I can have access to the content items) but that seems to change the way portlets are handled.
    I got around this limitation with a regular portlet by creating an intermediary page which captures passed information and stores it to the session state. Once the information was in the session state, it is accessible to the portlet on the first page. However, this only works because remote portlets do not change their session id once loaded. Content Server portlets, on the other hand, change their session id after every reload of the browser or page change. I can send information from a content server portlet to an intermediary page, but I cannot send it back to the portlet because the session id has changed so I have no idea of knowing where to send the information. I can write it to a session state, but by the time I return to the portal page, the content server has changed its session id so it does not know where to look any longer.
    I suppose it would be possible to create an application state variable and append it with some static token (if there is some static variable per portal session) but I would rather not have to deal with application variables if at all possible.
    Second Problem: Dynamically Updating PCS Tags
    Even if I were able to the pass information back to my content server portlet, I run into another issue. The easiest way to sort content server items is using the filter command in the pcs:foreach tag. So, if I wanted to sort by author name, I could do something like the following <pcs:foreach var="item" expr="filter(folderByName('content'), filtered.name == '"name")" or something like that (the syntax may be incorrect, I just wrote this off the top of my head). However, it appears that the way the presentation templates are compiled goes in the order of PCS tags THEN JSP. So I would have no way of dynamically changing the variable on which I sort. For example, if I clicked on "Date" above in my table, I would like to be able to dynamically change my code so that I sort on date, and not name. I cannot find a solution to this problem.
    My workaround is to use the pcs tags to write out all the possible sortings to java array objects. This gives me access to the data on a JSP level and based on whatever the user will chose, I could then display that array. While this works, it is extremely ghetto and inefficient. Any help or suggestions would be fantastic.
    Thanks a lot,
    Jason Grauel

    You can use just about any javascript you want in any Content Server presentation template including ones that are used for portlets.
    However, you should be careful to name javascript functions and global variables uniquely so that they do not conflict with any other javascript on the page. To do this, you can append the item id to function and variable names, for example,
    function doSomething<pcs:value expr="pcs_id"></pcs:value>() {
    return true;

  • How do I configure Firefox to autofit webpages (i.e. so I don't have to scroll to the right to see everything) and display all webpage content?

    I'm doing some maintenance on an old Dell Dimension 1100 (service tag: JGFN291, all drivers updated) for a friend, and I installed the new version of Firefox. Webpage graphics / backgrounds will not display, and the text on all webpages displays too large; I have to scroll to the left to see everything. How do I configure Firefox to automatically display all webpage content properly? It's probably due to the age of the PC and monitor (I think Noah took a pair of these on the ark with him back in the day), but I was hoping there was some other workaround for it. Any and all help is appreciated!

    there is no replay for the problem ?? mozillas's stuff doesnt work as good as their web browser...

  • Read Dynamic Selection contents of a Variant for QE51N

    Hi Folks,
    Need your help here !
    In my report, I wish to read the Variants along with their contents created for transaction QE51N.
    I tried using function module RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS and its working good, but not to my requirements. The function module returns only the selection screen contents of a given variant. It does not return the contents in 'Dynamic Selection' (Free Selection).
    I read somewhere that the function module returns dynamic selection contents only if the report use Logical Database. To my understanding, the program for QE51N (SAPLQEES) do not use LDB.
    So is there any way by which I can get dynamic selection contents of a variant?
    Any suggestions / pointers would be a great help.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Sud.

    Hi,
    Did you find somethings? I have the same issue.
    I would like to add some new fields on Dynamic Selection screen of QE51N.

  • Unable to update webpage contents

    Whenever I try to use "put" and "synchronyse" commands to update my nouridjanianpsychologicaltesting.com pages, webpage content still remains unupdated and unchanged, even when I used Insert>Template>Update Pages commands. I use FTP server mode and also unable to engage server behavior, such as use Recordset option, as RDS log-in is unavailable in FTP regime. Please, help me solve these persistent and unaccounted for problems of updating webpages in FTP regime and enabling Recordset option in FTP regime. I use Windows Vista and receive error messages about non-working Cold Fusion in FTP environment, when I try to engage Recordset option in vain. I will sue Adobe.com in federal downtown court, if you fail to help me solve this persistent problem, as I paid 400$ for this Creative Suite CS4, and all I get are unsolved problems with FTP environment. I do rely on your ability to troubleshoot webpage updating problem in FTP environment and inablity to use record sets and other other server behaviors. When I checked Dreamweaver manual to troubleshoot these problems, no direct answers were revealed by the Adobe manual. I am desperate to get your urgent help now!

  • Help! dynamic page content - how to handle?

    Hi !
    How do I handle dynamic page content, where for example my jsp page does a post and updates some data, and I dont want the user to use "back" button to go back onto it.
    Hints appreciated
    Cheers
    Steve

    Yes, you can create links for columns in the sql query of a portal report using htf.anchor/htf.anchor2 or just put in your own html code between single quotes. See the [PL/SQL Web Toolkit|http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_10/web.1012/b15896/toc.htm] for info on the HTF package. There is also a portal Link component which can be created separately and then selected for use on a column in a portal report.

  • Dynamically adding content

    I maintain about 6 webpages for my church and updating has

    certain text fields on teh page and it update to the page
    automatically so that I do not get stuck always having to update

    but I can't seem to find a good tutorial anywhere. Any help is

  • Dynamically load content by date using xml

    i would like to load content by date using xml. meaning if i
    have 5 upcoming social events listed, i want them to dynamically
    drop off from my webpage as the event date passes. i would like to
    use the built in spry xml dataset functionality, but don't have to.
    i can't seem to find a way to get the server date and then compare
    it to a date in a xml node. this seems simple, but i can't seem to
    find a tutorial that does not get crazy with all kinds of
    code.

    Have the column headings (which the user clicks to sort by
    that column) as
    links back to the main page, with the sort as a url parameter
    eg
    www.mysite.com/mypage.php?sort=name
    www.mysite.com/mypage.php?sort=date
    etc
    Then in your recordset, change the code from
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM table ";
    to
    switch($_GET['sort']){
    case "date":
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY date DESC";
    break;
    case "name":
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY name DESC";
    break;
    You`ll need to change the above to suit your needs obviously,
    but the above
    shows the principles that you need to use.
    So you use the same page for each sort, but the SQL to
    retrieve the records
    in the order you want changes dynamically.

  • Displaying dynamic news content on all pages

    I want to display content edited on one webpage on multiple
    pages on the site instantly. How may I do this with Dreamweaver
    8?

    Your question is somewhat confusing?
    When you say the content is edited on one page, do you mean
    that you are editing it in dreamweaver or it is being dynamically
    edited on the page itself?
    Possible solutions are:
    Put your content in a DB and kick it out to all pages
    Use SSI

  • Dynamic HTML Content in iFrames of a BSP application

    Hey Folks,
    I am currently having to build a context sensitive URL, which is built dynamically and accordingly load the page within a given view during runtime. The URL points to a simple HTML page.
    The application whcih is embedded in the view is a BSP application. The BSP application comprises of an iFrame which should hold the value of the URL built, within the attribute "src". Is there a way in which the value of this attribute "src" of the tag "iframe" can be populated during runtime for BSP applications?
    Please do let me know of your thoughts on this.
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Puja.

    @Rodrigo,
    Did you make sure you have included the end tag </iframe>? am not sure about this, but maybe you would need to include the htmlb page extension too?
    <%@ extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
    @Others,
    My problem is that the BSP in question has been generated by a framework, the content of which i need to tweak programatically.
    I forgot to make a mention of the crutial aspect that, the Page Type of my BSP application is 'View'. I could have used the oninitialization event to my convinience , had the page type of the application been 'Page with Flow Logic'. I do not have the various event processing options such as 'onInputProcessing' or 'OnInitialization' or 'OnLayout' here which I can work upon.
    Has any body worked with BSPs of type 'View'. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Puja.
