How to: site organization: many different navigation templates

Hi there dear experts.
Am making one of those site, that has different navigation for the different sections: About has it out category of nav, Info has its own category, etc.
What is the best way to do this, with template, library items, both, and how does one do it?
Is there some best practice?
Thanks so much.
Hope

You question is a little difficult to understand, but if you have different sections of a page that will be updated, then looking at Server Side Includes would be your best option I think  :-)   If you're server suppost php, then php includes would be the way to go.  Using different templates or nested templates I believe will only lead to confusion.
A comparison of the various options:
Using the template function within Dreamweaver is a good way to go if it's a small site . .
For larger sites then server side includes would be more practical and easier  for maintenance purposes.
Templates:
You create a master template page, you declare which areas will be the same for every page, (non-editable regions)  and then declare an area that will change on every page (the content area) , these are editable regions.
Once you create the template and save it, you are then able to create 'child' pages from this template  - as many as you like  :-)  If you every need to make a change to the menu or the footer or the header, change it in the master template, save it and the changes will flow through to the child pages created from the template.
Using DW Templates:

The other option is to use Server Side Includes (SSI)
A bit more about SSIs here:

http://bignosebird.com/ssi.shtml
Using PHP includes if your server supports php:
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_includes.asp 
One major difference between using Templates and SSIs or PHP includes?
When you make a change to a template page, you will need to re-upload all the pages to the server that were changed - may become very tedious if it is a very large site.
With using SSI, you make a change to one file and only have to upload the one file and all pages on the server will be update accordingly.
When to use Templates, Library Items & SSIs -

  • PIQSMFU:How difference appraisals tab and  different appraisal template tab

    Hi,
    I have question about appraisals
    T-code : PIQSMFU
    Enter - SM Code
          - Year
          - Semester
          - Event packate
    and Search Student
    I booked ST to the same SM
    some ST show in Appraisals tab and can assign grade
    and some ST don't show in this tab only show in Different appraisals template tab
    can't assign grade to ST.
    At the SM assign appraisals template =0001
    How difference appraisals tab and  different appraisal template tab. If the data incorrect please suggestion
    Thanks you
    Best Regards
    Kanya.b

    Hi Kanya,
    The reason which some students are displayed in different appraisal template tab and some of them are displayed in appraisals tab is the modification of appraisal template.  I mean, you have changed something in appraisal template "001" for example you added a new appraisal type to the appraisal template or dropped an appraisal type from that. The students booked the module with  an older template, you see the students on different appraisal template tab, and the others booked with the actual appraisal template, you see them in appraisal tab.
    When you click two times on the appraisal type in the different appraisal template, below there is opened the appraisal types and you can give grade for each appraisal type.
    I hope, this would be answer your question.
    Best Regards,
    Ayse S.

  • How do I organize webpages in folders and subfolders in iWeb?

    I'm working on a website with plenty of pages and categories (wines). When I used Dreamweaver earlier I could organize the webpages in folders and subfolders which gave me a great overview. But this seems to be impossible in iWeb.
    How do I organize many webpages in iWeb?
    Is iWeb the right software for this kind of website or is it only for family photoes, hobbies, etc...?
    Or should I use another kind of software? If so - which (easy to use software, please)?
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you...

  • How to publish an Admin-Approved InfoPath template to 2 different site collections, and retain same internal column names

    Hi,
    I am wondering how best to publish an InfoPath form as an Admin-Approved template, to both Site Collection 1 (SC1) and Site Collection 2 (SC2). Some fields are promoted to SharePoint columns.
    I have already published my form to SC1, by choosing Publish to SharePoint Server > chose SC1 > Admin-approved > chose to publish to columns I had created manually on SC1 (these columns had relatively user-friendly internal names such
    as 'Form_x0020_Status' etc, which I reference in xsl + code). I then uploaded the template in Central Admin as Admin-Approved, and activated the feature on SC1. This all worked fine.
    However, if I then go to activate the feature on SC2, it creates columns with different internal names (GUIDs), which means my xsl + code won't work. If I try creating columns manually on SC2 before publishing, it still creates new GUID columns.
    This of course must be because on feature activation on SC2, it cannot find the exact columns specified in the template (which was published to SC1), so it creates new ones.
    In that case, what is the best way to publish an Admin-Approved template to 2 different site collections? One option is to create the columns using code, and deploy them to both sites as a feature, ensuring all IDs are the same. But should this be necessary, is
    there any option available using only InfoPath and SharePoint?

  • How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

    How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
    Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

  • How do YOU organize pages, create a site map, and use hyperlinks?

    I had to get out of bed to bring this up with you all; I couldn't stop thinking about this next learning curve. It is: How shall I organize the topics I have in my website? One extreme is to have all of the topics showing in all of the nav bars at the top of all the pages. The opposite extreme is ............ I cannot truly visualize it.
    I think that the big obstacle for me is that i don't want to hide any pages so well, so slickly, that they can be found only by the most focused and persistent website visitor. I can see how some pages could be lost to a lot of casual website viewers.
    On the other hand, there are some pages that are natural groups. In my case, the U.B.R.O.L. group is that. It is made up of five people and me. I have one page for a photo slideshow which has one photo of each of us, but then I have a separate page for Nigel and his photos, a separate page for Vali and her long bio and photos, and a separate page for Helen, her short bio and her many photos.
    Tonight I tried making hierarchies using hyperlinks, so that U.B.R.O.L. shows up in the Site Menu, but Nigel, Vali, Helen, and Peggy do not show up. To get to their photos, one would have to click onto the U.B.R.O.L. group page. Once at the U.B.R.O.L. page, one can then click onto Vali's, Nigel's, and Helen's page, and then from each of their pages there are 3 hyperlinks: one to return to U.B.R.O.L., and three more hyperlinks to click onto the others who have personal pages. (Peggy does not have a personal page because she is shy and never gave me more photos or a bio of herself. She prefers anonymity.)
    But even though I put those hyperlinks on those pages, I am having an internal concept war, my friends, and a solution is not at hand.
    I am thinking of how I am going to deal with the pages made for me, my husband, and my husband and I together.
    I cannot imagine clearly how a Site Menu would look at the topmost level and much less of an idea how each page would look several levels down.
    I welcome any direction you could send my way. I would like to know how you organized your pages, how you decided which pages would not be listed in the nav bar, and what you did to/with the pages that were not listed in the nav bar.
    Would you please send me the URL of your website so that I can SEE what you are talking about? I am not good at imagining what people say; I have to see it rather than imagine it.
    Lorna in Southern California

    Lorna, mostly from reading books, Iearned the following things.
    •Don't make me think (actually the title of an excellent book on webdesign)
    •Every information should be available in at most 3 clicks
    •Tell them where they are, where they can go and where they have been.
    IMHO, iWeb lends itself fairly well for these last 2 criteria. The Navbar is a very useful tool and I suggest you do not go too far away from it.
    On my current issue of the toy theatre magazine (which is NOT a beautiful website) I wanted to go in 3 languages; English, German and Dutch. I knew i was courting disaster but one can be so ambitious. This in fact meant that I had to do 3 sites. Sites being defined as a group of pages structurally belonging to each other.
    So I made an Index/Splash page with a nice picture, a title and 3 flags. These being links to the 3 versions. (I did not want to make them think on the Splashpage).
    Clicking a flag brings the visitor to a Contents page on their version of the site. Just like the Contents page in a book. Here they can choose to go to any of the items and on each and every page of the site is a Contents button that returns them there.
    Pages are numbered in the middle of the website, and to the leftside the number of (and link to) the previous page and to the right the same for the next page.
    The current issue is number 25, ( http://www.vischmarktpapierentheater ), the previous 24 were done in Freeway and the design stems from there.
    The translation to iWeb did work well but in the end the result was disappointing mostly because I wanted some slideshows, hated the "None .Mac accounts" version and went overboard with Keynote slideshows, really ugly.
    The other problem stems from the triple language idea. This meant that I had to do either 3 versions of each slideshow, or make one version accessible for every language. This menat some convoluted linking which I will never do again.
    In short If you want to go "deep", make various sites and link each starting page to you Index/Splash, keep the starting pages of each site on the Navbar Make a Contents sidebar or something like that on each of the starting pages, and than you can go anywhere within the required 3 clicks.
    Good Luck

  • XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

    I followed a procedure described in a book.
    1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
    2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
    3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
    Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
    Xaml file by the book:
    <Window.Resources>
    <!-- This part is missing in my xaml file --><XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"

    Never do yourself down Richard.
    Leave that to other people.
    It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
    I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
    And to repeat.
    Never use anything ends .. provider.  They're for trivial demo apps.  Transform xml into objects and use them.  Write it back as xml.  Preferably, use a database.

  • How many different iPods can I sync with my single iMac user/iTunes account?

    Good Day to All,
    Can anyone tell me how many different iPods &amp; iPhones can I successfully consistently sync/integrate using my one "user account" in iTunes on my iMac? This ist situation:
    I have always (and only) synced etc. my iPhone with my one iTunes UID which is under my ONE "User Account" on my  iMac. Recently, my elderly folks gave me 2 iPods they have never used. One is a little silver 4GB shuffle (the little guy with a built on "belt clip" &amp; it verbally tells you what song and artist is playing. The other is also an iPod shuffle ( only 1GB), also has the metal "pinch to open; belt clip"; also no display, however it came with a little USB Dock and THIS ONE has all of the user controls on the face of it in a circular patter of course..
    To have COMPLETE successful "interaction/integration/syncing" etc (with no issues/complications etc) with my iTunes currently and previously only used with my iPhone, do I have to create two new additional "User Login/accounts" on my iMac (one for each iPod) to have all three if my devices work perfectly fine, or can I just use my same iMac login (UID) &amp; iTunes that I use with my iPhone and have no worries?
    (ie: I created my girlfriend her own iMac login UID which she has always used for backing up/syncing etc her iPhone with HER iTunes library etc)
    In short, does iTunes have the ability to have multiple iPods &amp; my iPhone under my one existing iTunes account AND using the same single iMac login/UID I've always used with my iPhone?
    Obviously, I know I could create an iMac login for my mom's, another for my dad's &amp; create them both their individual iTunes accounts, but they really don't want to have to worry about dealing with all that. I'm teetering between just treating them as my iPods and mixing/adding their limited CD's into my library (again, if iTunes allows multiple iPods etc as explained above..
    OR; my other thought would be (again, if one iTunes account can integrate the two iPods as seperate devices and to just create ONE iMac UID login and ONE iTunes account under my dad's name, and use that one account for both of their music, both of their iPods, importing their CD's into the same iTunes library, then when syncing etc. just doing selective transfers/sync's of the specific music for each iPod... Even then, will iTunes be able to differentiate the two as far as backups/restored etc? I think  answering my own question as I type due to the cloud... For completely individual cloud interaction/integration, I would def need to create each of them their own iTunes accounts, otherwise they will have all of each other's songs on their devices.. (ie: And my dad def doesn't want to worry about skipping over my mom's Journey or Aerosmith tunes to get to his Willie Nelson and vice versa for example.
    (Sorry sooooo drawn out; thinking outloud) I guess it seems obvious that since all their digital music has to be on my iMac, I really should create them each their own iMac UID login as well as their own individual iTunes Acounts to insure cloud services work easily for restores/backups etc...
    Thanks for stumbling thru my thought processes here (if I didn't lose ya long ago); I'm exhausted and throwing thoughts at the classroom board to see what sticks.... The best easiest way that is.. (The two aren't always the same obviously!)
    Thank you all for your precious time and consideration and most if all; YOUR PATIENCE!! Any confirmation if the options and suggestions are greatly appreciated. You know, gotta take care of the folks &amp; what is the simplest for them as just end users is the most important or they'll NEVER bother with them in the end...
    Respectfully appreciative,
    DB

    You can use as many iPods with one iTunes library as you want.

    hello,
    How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?
    thanks,
    Jay

    Hi,
    I understand that it applied first logo to all other sub sites.
    Please make sure that you change the logos in the subsites.
    If we change the logo in the root site, the logos in the subsites will be changed at the same time.
    However, we can change the logo in the subsites separately.
    We can go to a subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo->select a picture, then it will has a different logo than the root site.
    Then go to the other subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo-> select another picture, then it will has a different logo that the first subsite.

  • How many different computers can i sync my ipod to and transfur music from?

    how many different computers can i sync my ipod to and transfur music from? i am trying to sync my ipod to another laptop and add my music to that computer but i was wondering if there was a limit on how many computers you can do that with. thanks all.

    You can authorize up to five computers for your iTunes purchases.
    If manually managing your device you can add content from any library.
    If automactially syncing content is managed from one library.
    Purchased content can be transfered from a device into an authorised library, otherwise iTunes only transfers content to the device.

  • In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?

    In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?
    The one that came when I bought my Macbook Pro.

    Kappy, I believe that he's asking about Snow Leopard, not Lion. Your answer would be correct in reference to Lion purchased from the Mac App Store, but not Lion shipped as original OS on a new Mac.
    derojas, assuming you have a standard OEM, it-came-with-the-computer Snow Leopard installer, you are licensed to use it only on that one computer. You are not licensed to install it on any others. Many OEM discs can install only on the specific hardware model with which they shipped, anyway.
    If you have a standard retail installer, it's technically possible to install it on any Mac capable of running Snow Leopard. However, again, the license grants you the freedom to install it on only one Mac at a time (i.e. you'd have to delete it from one Mac before you could install it on another).
    There are family packs and other multi-licensing arrangements that permit the owner to install Snow Leopard on more than one Mac. You need to check the license to find out how many and what other restrictions might apply.
