Integrate Tribevita template into existing site

Hi all
I am going through the pleasure of integrating a new Tribevita template into an existing site ie so the crucial sales data etc is maintained. From my research, this is a bit of work and basically it seems you are copying various parts of the new template into the current (old) site.
I gather the process of integrating a new site involves:
1. Recreate the folders, web app layouts, forms, content holders, photo galleries etc from the new template, into your existing site.
2. Change the relevant ID's in the html in the new site, so they match the ID's of those just created in step 1
3. Then.... ftp all the new template's pages, assets, css, files etc into the OLD site....and in theory you will have your new & improved website all while maintaining all that traffic and sales data.
The new template site is a reponsive site from Tribevita - Flora Design, so I don't know if that will have any issues moving across to the old site. Has anyone gone through this process and can you give me any advice on things to look out for and if the above the correct method to do this changeover.
Many thanks.
David

Hi Buzzvick - glad you messaged me as I've been meaning to let you know but couldn't find this thread.
OK it did go smoothly but here's what I learnt.
First make sure the template you bought is almost EXACTLY what you want. Ie products display the same as you want them to, search pages etc work how you want to. Find one that you would be happy to use as is just with minor changes like colours.
Create your template on a test site. Write down your login details as you will refer to it often. FTP copy this new site.
FTP copy your new site again and save it as a working file (e.g NEW SITE - Working file)
Create all logos and banners in the sizes you will need for new template.
FTP copy your old site - save it as ORIGINAL SITE and lock it in your files.
FTP copy you old site again and save it as working - use this to compare the files for when you upload the new template
FTP copy your old site once again and save it somewhere else just in case you need it!
copy your products and customers for backup
do a sync if you are using onesaas etc
I also printed all invoices from start of BC / made sure I had a foolproof backup
Create a new start page and say you are doing updates (if you are tackling it all in one day)
(I was recommended to check duplicate scripts, css, images, templates etc but I realised this would take hours / days so skipped it and bit the bullet - If i had more time I would have but as I was prepared for our site (=my site) to be offline and have customers call if problems I jumped right in).
FTP across the template to your website - I used the 'working' file and deleted files on my computer once I had uploaded them so I new what was still to be done.
Update the template and page module numbers etc (I used a script from BC Gurus that showed the module ID numbers next to it - message me if you need it).
Screenshot the NEW template (on test site) and also OLD template ID numbers (using script above) and print it out - this will save hours as easy to cross compare.
If the menus don't show - which ours weren't - RECREATE them... this took me 2 hours to work out why they weren't showing as I just duplicated them and it didn't work!!
Now change over page templates - start with unpopular pages like about us etc
Using firebug fix up any styling etc and update css.
I also removed / delete all my old styling sheets and just kept the new template one (hence your site might look a bit fuzzy so make sure you do it on a crappy sales day or with the maintenance page loaded)
- I used FTP with my new template file in one screen and current site in the other screen and deleted anything that wasn't in the new template (make sure your original site backup is on file).
Check all categories, pages etc - e.g update home page etc
Check ipad / iphone versions (I use firefox web tools that resizes screen as our new site is responsive)
Make site live (remove maintenance page)
Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
Add in all Google analytics and trackings.
Update your SEO info e.g title tags - I went page by page through my old site templates and copied any SEO or scripts I'd need and saved it in word
Recheck site again - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. Test it all again.
Recheck site again from other browsers - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
I also kept a notepad handy and highlighted all the above once done. I also wrote down anything little that needed to be changed and kept going on the above. If you start fixing little things as you go you will never finish. I employed my 90% principle - get 90% done then do the remaining little 10% once 90% is up.
And good luck! It took me from 8am Saturday morning to 5.30am the Sunday morning - so almost a good 24hours! Luckily I'd had a super early Friday night (no life that weekend!) and did it from my home office. So I'd recommend only conquering it when you can pull an all nighter so the site is done.
Hope that helps

Hi suryakumar,
As I understand, you want to update the template
for existed content type.
It can be achieved by programming. There is a
SPContentType.DocumentTemplateUrl Property, which can be used to update content type.
Here is a demo:

ANN: Tutorial on incorporating Bridge web gallery into existing site

Photo galleries produced by the Adobe Output Module in Bridge CS4 look much better than the ancient Create Web Photo Album command in Dreamweaver. The problem is that the HTML file created by Bridge displays the Flash-based gallery full screen, making it difficult to incorporate into an existing website, and several people have asked recently for help in doing so. In response, I have created a step-by-step tutorial. I hope you find it useful.

This previews just fine from Dreamweaver but when uploaded non
of my images load. Please see www.jakgallery.com/19701979
All I get is the circular wait icon. Thanks very much for any help you can give. It seems I am one little step away from making it work.

How to integrate BEx Template into InfoView

Hi Experts,
I created an hyperlink to launch a Web template SAP BI 7.0 from Business Object Infoview.
When I execute this hyperlink, a connection window appear for SAP logon. I fill my login and password then valid.
The next window is a standard one displayed when loading is in process. The issue is that I am blocked on this window. It looks like there is an auto-refresh process.
Can anyone help me on this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

I have the same issue. I'm creating a Hyperlink in in InfoView which points to a BEx Web Template URL. When opening this link InfoView shows a blank "window". It seems like there is something like an endless loop with redirection. I've also tried it with an iView containing that template. But it only shows the SAP "sun" rotating endlessly.
Anyone solved this problem?
It would be great to have my Crystal Reports and some Web Templates together in one place (and not needing to setup NW Portal).
Regards

Migrating an existing html template into Eloqua?

I am new to Eloqua, in fact, it is not yet installed. Thinking ahead, can anyone tell me if I will be able to migrate over an existing html email newsletter template into the platform? Once the look/feel are in Eloqua, I expect that I could edit the hyperlinks to trigger notifications and populate open rate stats in the dashboard. Curious if someone has had experience with a migration. Was it successful or was it disastrous? thanks.

Before proceeding with NitroX, you need to manage your project as web application. The project should be organized in a war directory structure containing a valid web root.
Ex:
-- C:\MyProject\WEB-INF\web.xml - in this case MyProject itself will be the webroot
-- C:\MyProject\site\WEB-INF\web.xml - in this case site can be the webroot
Once you manage the project as web application you can start working with NitroX features. The following are different ways to manage the project as web application:
-- Launch eclipse using NitroX shortcut
-- If project is present in the workspace, right click and select "Manage as Web Application"
-- or try to open a JSP/XML file in NitroX Editor (Open With > NitroX Editor)
-- or File > New > Web Application Project > Existing Web Application - browse and select the project root and complete the wizard

Integrate wordpress blog into static html/css site

I've searched with google but have not found any good explanations on how I might integrate a wordpress blog into an existing site.
I have some familiarity with wordpress and have xampp and wordpress installed on my local computer. I'm looking for info/tutorial on how I could add a page to a static htm/css site that would have all of the navigation, header and footer elements common to the site, but the body of the page would be a wordpress blog.
Any advice or reference to instructional info would be very much appreciated.
thanks!

Integrate WAD 7.0 Template into BPS Web Interface

Dear all,
We recently migrated to BW 7.01. We have an existing planning application running as a BPS Web Interface.
I now want to integrate a query output (data and chart) by using a web template designed with WAD 7.0 into the existing BPS web interface. I know how to do this with a web template designed with WAD 3.5. There is also a How-to paper available that explains it for 3.5. I'm struggling now to do the same with WAD 7.0. The syntax for the URL generation changed, that's one problem. There maybe more when actually calling the web template from the web interface(?).
I found some threads here in the forum dealing with this issue but no clear solution. Some posts even mentioned that integration of 7.0 web templates into BPS web interfaces is not possible at all. I would appreciate any information on this issue.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ulrich Meier

Hello Ulrich,
the 7.0 web templates run on your BI Java server which has a different host name (and port) than you BW ABAP server which run the BPS web interface. The servers are different in Dev/QA/Prod so you need to generate the URL dynamically.
One way is to hardcode it in JavaScript. Something like: if CurrentDomain = ABAPDevDomain. Domain = JavaDevDomain. if CurrentDomain = ABAPQADomain. Domain = JavaQADomain. etc
A fancy alternative would be to put the Java domain and port into an exit variable which you could include in the BPS web interface (in a hidden DIV tag for example). Fill the exit variable using function RSWR_GET_DEPLOY_PORTAL_INFO. Then your JavaScript can pick up this value to generate the proper URL for the web template.

I need to know how you would publish a new site into an existing site

Okay I have a new Dreamweaver website that I just created for my brother in-laws law firm and want to publish in onto an ftp server but the sever already has the existing site published onto it and before I have it pulled down I would like to publish this new site on there to see if everything is going to work okay and if everything is displayed correctly. Does anyone know if there is a way I can do this and how to do it? Please help!!!
Thanks

I typically create a TEST folder on the remote site. Upload new pages and dependant files there for debugging and testing purposes. Then using a 3rd party ftp ware (filezilla, cute ftp or Ws_ftp pro), I move the new site files & folders over to the root directory. If you have used the same filenames as were on the old site, new pages will overwrite the old ones. If you used a different naming convention, you will need to delete old files from server.

Importing existing site made in another app into iWeb

Hi,
Is it possible to import to iWeb a site created in RapidWeaver? Or, at somehow have any new iWeb site I do, and keep the work I did the in RW online.
I don't necessarily need to edit it, but I'd like to keep that RW site intact and available.
Also, Roddy, thanks for this link you put in another thread- I've got a lot to study:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_FAQ.html
Guy

No; iWeb cannot import existing sites. If you have the HTML and other files from RapidWeaver, store them on your hard disk, and then use iWeb to publish to a folder, posting those pages as desired.

Integrating CS pages in to existing site

Hi
I am working on an existing site, where we want to make available a couple of new pages that are been fed up from the content server. The documents in the cs are been translated correctly to html via the templates we define in Site Builder. However, the existing site has its on navigation, look and feel etc. I know site builder allows you to embed html round the translated page but i think this is to messsy particulartly because the nav and existing look and feel is complex.
As the cs returns the pages as a "distinct" web pages, i.e. they have their own <html> , <head>, <title> tags etc. First of all, is their any way of configuring the content server such that it does not return the translated document as a "distinct" page. Secondly, if the translated doc can only be returned as a "distinct" page, is their any best practise in terms of how to integrate the cs generated page with an existing site. We are not using frames, but I was thinking of using iframes.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It's been a some time since I played with content publisher, but I believe you can remove all that stuff by editing the layout template for the project.

Migrating existing site content to UCM

We looking for any tools, APIs that help in migrating the existing content of web sites to UCM. The site content is structured and needs to mapped to WCM content in UCM. The site has static as well as dynamic content.
For dynamic content we are assuming a DB is used. But not sure if the entire functional information shown for a page is coming from the DB. Want to understand if any tools are available to make migration of content from a DB to UCM.
For static pages we have to extract the content and move it to UCM. Here also it is not clear as to how many static pages are there. Our concern is that if too many static pages (having a similar template) are there then manual migration may not work out. We may have to parse the html content and create structured WCM content out of them. Our doubt is do we have any API to create WCM content programatically?
Regards,
Pratap

Hi Pratap,
we here at Fishbowl have developed just such a site migrator. It takes existing sites and will import and build them into a new WCM (10gR4) site.
Our site migrator focuses on the body content of the sites (i.e. what end users will be editing in context). You still need to build out your navigation structure etc. However, we do parse the contents of your existing sites into specific region definitions of the new WCM.
contact [email protected] for more info.

Existing site

Hi,
I have an existing HTML-site (95 folders, 520 files).... I want to integrate this in Portal.
What's the best way to convert the existing site into a content area ?
I don't want to view the HTML in a new window.
The "Item Type" (add a new item) "Text" , is that the way to view the HTML-code as a part of the screen ?
Looks a weird method to me...
Thanks,
Bart

yes, you definitely want to have the site on your local
machine. in
Dreamweaver, go to Help and select Getting Started. you
should probably
start from the beginning, but look for Setting Up Your Site
and Project
Files for instructions on how to set up your site.

Hi
If you have zip file of the project then unzip it into your project location where all projects are there .then in NWDS go to file->import->multiple existing project into workspace->browse the file where you have saved it and select the comp folder inside the project folder->click finish.Now you are able to see the webdynpro project in the webdynpro explorer.If its not appearing then go to Navigatore and right click on project and click on open project, it will open the project in webDynpro explorer.
