• How do I create a message board/forum using forms in Dreamweaver?

  I want to create a forum or messageboard using the form in Dreamweaver but I don't know how to do it. Is there any guidance on how I could create a message board or forum on Dreamweaver?

  I don't think it can be done with just dreamweaver,
  You will have to download something like PHPBB,
  If you have a host with fantastico deluxe you can easily set up a forum
  with it.

• Do I need to insert meta tags on domain if it redirects to web.mac page?

  Hi,
  I've set up a domain (http://www.blossomsolutions.ca) with Internic.ca in Canada and filled out a very easy form to redirect to http://web.mac.com/blossomsolutions. Through this excellent forum I learned how to insert meta tags into all my pages on the web.mac site using text edit successfully.
  Now, I'm wondering, will search engines find me if I have "no code" or meta tags at www.blossomsolutions.ca? Internic is only "redirecting" my URL not hosting it. It costs more money if they "host" my domain and I wouldn't have a clue how to set up an index.html page anyway for this domain. Even if I got someone to do this can you redirect an index.html page from blossomsolutions.ca to a web.mac.com page? i.e. does the domain code need to be empty in order for it to redirect?
  Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.
  Dazed and confused,

  Hello Kathleen,
  Welcome to the forum. You're site looks very clean and elegant.
  The domain name you purchased (http://www.blossomsolutions.ca/) is serving as a redirecting page to your iWeb generated web page. The answer to whether or not search engines will find you is both yes and no. Search engines use programs called "spiders" that find pages through links and trace out web pages.
  Given some time, sites like Google and MSN will likely find you website (and if you put meta tags in it will display that info in the search engine). But if you are like most iWeb users (myself included) you are impatient for your site to be picked up in search engines. Which is fine, since several search engines provide the means for you to submit your URL. Read this post for more information. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3905977&#3905977
  Looks like you may have already submitted your .mac page.
  Another handy tip for looking up what information a search engine posses on your site is to type "site:" followed by the web address you wish to look up into a search engine. If the search engine has any of the pages to your site it will display them with the meta data they posses. Your site info can be found here. http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://web.mac.com/blossomsolutions
  I checked your .ca address and google didn't come up with anything.
  Internic.ca should provide you with the means to apply a little bit of a description to your web address. Apart from that, you can't really add any meta data to the domain name.
  Unfortunately even when you get both web addresses picked up by search engines it won't associate them together. They may come up near each other in searches. But the search engine will see them as entirely different sites.
  You could host your site at the domain name if you chose to. The process of publishing is one click like to .mac. But you "Publish to a Folder" and then upload the complete page to the domain name. Its more difficult and cost more (if you chose to retain your .mac account) but it would give you better search engine rankings for your name.
  —"It costs more money if they "host" my domain and I wouldn't have a clue how to set up an index.html page anyway for this domain. Even if I got someone to do this can you redirect an index.html page from blossomsolutions.ca to a web.mac.com page? i.e. does the domain code need to be empty in order for it to redirect?"
  It isn't really worth it have them host your domain name only to put an index.html that redirects to your .mac. Thats basically what the domain forwarding is doing (minus a little bit of info).
  My advice is to keep things how you have them. But, just make sure you get the domain submitted to search engines.
  Hope this wasn't to long or confusing.
  Kind Regards,

• Add Flash Content, Flash Loaders, Message Boards, Web Forums, Guest Book

  I have spent a lot of time to figure out how to stretch iWeb's capabilities. I have not added all of these items yet to my websites but I plan on incorporating more of these things in. I am not a coder and most of this could be done pretty easily. I have used someone elses code for adding flash but have found software to help make the flash content easily. Feel free to email me with any questions. Most of the software I am using does require purchasing it from various vendors but it is pretty reasonable.
  You can visit any of these sites below (one is brand new). I am also going to use a DNS registration to change the website's URL. If anyone has any advice or tips on this please share your thoughts.

  This is a user to user forum where we help each other with issues relating to iWeb.
  Questions asked here are answered here. Others might benefit from them.
  Currently there are discussions about adding Flash to iWeb. If you know anything post them there.
  Regarding your DNS, search for domain or go to the dedicated dotMac forum:

• Quick question on simple message board/forum

  Do I need to use the server to create a forum? I'm not ready to publish yet, but want to get one started, where do I begin? Tutorial link would be great...
  thanks

  Do I need to use the server to create a forum?
  To host your own, you'll need to install software on your remote server.
  If your server supports PHP, you might find what you need below in the Support Section.

  If you don't want to host your own, there are Forum and Message Board Hosting Services you can use.

• How do I create a simple message board (forum)

  I am a BC new-bee. How do I create a simple message board (forum) in BC to use on a Muse site since no widget is available there.

  No worries,
  The simple way should be that:
  open your forum page in Muse
  under "object" > "insert HTML" > paste "{module_forum,a,}"
  click ok
  move the textbox to the right position
  now publish this page to your bc site
  if you have any forums set up in the admin of your site (http://yourdomain.com/admin) it should show you the title of the forum.
  if there are no forums set up, you will need to create a forum in bc (Modules > Forums)
  Try this and let me know how it turned out.

• Message board Forum question

  Does anyone know if there is a way in iweb to create a message board/forum enviroment?
  Imac 800   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

  There's no way to do this, other than to link from iWeb pages to some other site where you can. .Mac does not have the capability either, except the limited messaging in .Mac Groups.

• Message Board / Forum Software

  Can anyone recommend a ColdFusion-based message board / forum package?  It can be either open source or commercial.  So far I'm aware of Galleon and Fusetalk.  Everything else I've come across seems years old and no longer updated.  I'd like to explore all my options before recommending something to my client.

• Java message board

  How do i write a Java message board that is concurrently accessible from multiple client message viewers on different hosts on a departmental network?

  Unless you're doing this as an excercise, I wouldn't recommend writing your own forum when there are so many available off-the-self. Once such is Phorum (www.phorum.org).
  But if you really want to do this yourself (and don't want to pay the two previous posters :-) ), I would think the best way would be to run the forum on an intranet web server and use a database for storing the data. Use servlets to display the forum.

• Message board script

  Hi,
  Does anyone know of a good message board script, flat file or php/mysql where I can include the page into my current design.
  I have a page called message-board.php where I want to call the script into

  Do a Google search:  "free php forum software"
  There are a ton of them... Unfortunately they don't lend themselves too well to being integrated into a web site, they tend to want to BE the web site. You may consider creating a sub domain so you can still brand your message board, such as -- http://messageboard.YourWebSite.com - but allow it to take up the space it wants.  This is a common solution to this problem.

• Pdf File download from a message board

  I can open pdf attachment on my favorite message board, but how can I store it on my iPad for viewing when I am not in WiFi range (at the race track)?

  Albert1956-
  I know a round-about way to do this using the GoodReader App.  In Safari, press and hold on the link to the PDF.  Select Copy from the menu that appears.
  Then go to the GoodReader App, select Web Downloads in the right side of the screen and then select Enter URL.  The window where you would enter the URL should contain the just-copied URL.
  Once downloaded into GoodReader, you can read it there.  You also have the option to E-Mail the file, which can then be opened in iBooks.

• What is the best way to create a message board in Dream Weaver CS3?

  I need to create a simple message board in Dream Weaver CS3. Any ideas or tutorials that you know of?

  Even a simple BB would require really advanced coding skills with server-side scripts,  databases, JavaScript,  not to mention a good deal of experience with web server security.
  Ask your hosting provider if they support 3rd party products like VBulletin or  phpBB.
