Navigation for an online portfolio website
Hello,
I am creating a webpage to be my online portfolio for my
graphic design work. I used a template, which originally uses a
flash slideshow to navigate through the portfolio pieces. I would
like to have it html instead, and give the user the ability to
navigate at their own pace.
Everything on the page stays the same always, except for the
box that is the actual portfolio. What I did is create the index
page, and then I just exchanged the portfolio image for every new
page. However, this only looks good after the first run through of
the website and all the images get stored in the cache. For first
time visit, you can obvioulsy see the loading process, and it
creates sort of a flickering with the background image of the
website.
Here is the website so far, so that you can see exactly what
I mean: www.jelenaboskovic.com
I already created the website, so to recreate it in frames is
not my first choice. And I heard that frames are not always
recommended. I am a novice webdesigner, so any help would be really
appreciated. I mainly would like to know if there is any other ways
to navigate through my portfolio, without the use of frames, and
without the flickering that it has currently the way that I
designed it.
Thanks a lot for any help in advance.
I also found a webpage that does exactly what I want:

Is this using a javascript? or what?
PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

Need Help with Navigation for an Online Art Gallery
I am trying to create a web site for an online art gallery.
I am new to DW8 and I have been reading several books,
forums, etc trying to figure out how to build a simple and elegant
navigation system.
I have successfully built simple navigation using a frame set
as the index.html page. I have successfully built and incorporated
the art gallery using Photo Assist (Photo Assist is a DW8 extension
that creates photo albums using AJAX). The gallery.html page built
with Photo Assist has thumbnail browsing and a slideshow mechanism.
Photo Assist also uses CSS that I have been able to modify for my
personal tastes in terms of creating a simple and elegant user
interface for the gallery section of the web site.
My index.html frame set consists of navFrame.html and
mainDisplayFrame.html pages. I created a navigation button (using
Fireworks 8) that links the gallery.html as its source and targets
mainDisplayframe.html.
My plan was to just add about 5 or 6 more navigation buttons
and target the mainDisplayFrame.html from each navigation button to
display some static information.I think the site looks fairly good
except that the frame set requires scroll bars when browsed with
800 x 600 screen resolutions. I thought that I could just use
'layers' instead of a frame set, but there is not a "target"
mechanism when usings layers.
At the end of the day, I would prefer to just use one web
page for displaying the navigation and all of my other web pages
including the gallery.html page. I think I have the right idea but
I can't seem to get a good handle on a navigation system that is
better than a frame set.
My online art gallery that is under construction is:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/tburak/
Photo Assist 1.0.1 DW extension URL is:
http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/productdetails.asp?PID=108
Please note that I am not a web designer that has deep
knowledge of HTML, CSS, javascript, server side stuff, etc. I do
know a little bit about C++ and Java programming and a little bit
about html tags, and also a little bit about how CSS works. Beyond
that, I am pretty much a point and click type of web page builder.
My real expertise is more or less on photographing and digitizing
the art.
I should mention that I eventually want to build in PayPal
eCommerce if at all possible, but I realize I might not have the
skills to do so.
Any help, suggestions and comments are very much
appreciated.[discussion moved to LiveCycle Forms forum.]

How to make a navigation for a scroll-down website?
Hello, I created a one-page website, where you need to scroll down to see the different types of content.
But how do I add a navigation on it?
As example, the "About" part is somewhere in the middle of the page, how can I make a navigation which will scroll down automaticly to the "About" part when I click on it?
I think you know what I mean.

There are quite a few different options for an online portfolio out there but I found most of them to either be difficult to modify or have too many features that I didn't need or want. So I took a shot at building my own. I would really appreciate your feedback and whether you think this is up to scratch as a professional online portfolio.
Portfolio Template
Thanks.Well, the answer is yes and no. It depends what you want to do with it.
Personally I "recognize" that it is a quite basic portfolio, but not as a professional one. I am missing a bit more depth, e.g. more navigational elements so that you can show more projects on different pages.The larger the body of excellent work and sets, the more this single page will get overload.
Additionally, I was wondering if it wouldn't be really nice to give the photos more space. We are not living in 800*600 anymore, luckily. Just think about the difference between a small photo and a full-screen displayed photo... It is just more striking and impressive.
These is my humble opinion, - and btw I love the idea of the little "About" link that pushes the page down to display more info. Add some more lovely ideas like that, since you have already a very good basis! -
My online college class site puts up a disclaimer when I log on to it with my iPad or iPhone, that I am using an unsupported browser and some features may not work, and the important ones dont. But the site also lists supported browsers to download and full functionality will be there. When you click on to the supported browser page, they list Safari for tablets, but of course I cannot download or update on the iPad any more than (current version), any thoughts?
I suspect then that the Safari as a supported browser is for a desktop.
I have no clue if this would work for you, but there are alternative browsers for the iPad that you can identify as desktop browsers in the settings. I use iCab Mobile identified as FireFox for Mac. It allows me to do many things that Safari will not let me do, such as edit my posts on this discussion site and use the advanced editor features.
I'm not saying that it will work for your online school website, I am merely suggesting that there are other feature rich browsers available that sort of leave Safari in their wake, so to speak. -
I need MS office for Chinese online banking.The Apple website says the Air can use the latest MS Office if it has a 32bit processor, but the tech specs dont say which Airs have a 32bit processor. Where can I find out?

Thanks, but the website says I need a 32 bit processor so presumably a 64 bit processor is no good? Or can a 64 bit automatically do everything a 32 bit one can do?
Where is the link that says you need a 32 bit processor? On my MBA, in the past I've ran both Office for Mac and Windows 7 (MS Office) via Parallels (Bootcamp does the same thing). I chose installing Windows 7 in the 32 bit mode ONLY because I have a couple of other legacy Windows programs that only run in 32 bit mode. -

Hi,
I know this isnt exactly on topic, but i do appreciate the thoughts of fellow Illustrator users and Im having a hard time with this..
For those of you that have online portfolios...what do you think is the best/easiest way of starting one? I do not have dreamweaver, nor do i code, so that is out at the moment. Im not looking to necessarily buy a domain or start my own website quite yet. I just need something to direct people to my work.
So really, what are good sites for those wishing to show illustration/graphic work? good flexibility with layout as well?
I am willing to pay for something if its worth it....
thanks in advance!
kevinIf you do some research you will find service providers for a couple of hundred per year plus 10 to 20 dollars for the domain name. some of these provide wizards for making quick web sites and other require you to code. the latter is actually better as you have more control over what your website will look like.
Both Bridge and Lightroom are capable of generating a slideshow or image gallery in either html or flash. The code may not be up to par, but it will work.Just don't tell any html buffs I said its ok to do this, they are quick to shoot down any adobe program except dreamweaver for doing html code.
As for your normal files that are not images, take a screen grab and scale it down for the thumbnail and let it link to your original file. Now that I said that, here is a disclaimer. Don't do it unless you absolutely need to. Why, so your clients or the general public for that matter can not use your files without your permission, Doing so will reduce your income. Its better to show jpg's and or pdf's.that are flattened. Pdf's may need thumbnails so lets call that the exception.
Want a free way to show images and pdf's? Try acrobat.com and photoshop.com also don't rule out yahoo, google, youtube, and vimeo.Some of these will allow you to post a link on facebook or twitter. Plus Lightroom is capable of syncing with some of these sites. -
My objective is to create an online learning website where in, I will be uploading classroom lecture videos. User will login based on credentials but at the
same time I want to restrict the user from downloading the currently playing video or any other video from my website. This means that the video should be
buffered in chunks at the client site, and previously used chunks should be deleted after use, so that complete video never resides on the client machine.
I need some help to understand the underlying technology behind websites such as GMATPill and eGMAT. My specific questions are,
1. Any specific tool that needs to be purchased? How can I create such websites if I want one for myself?
2. If you right click on the video, it seems to be adobe video. But then at times it also allows user interaction, such as clicking on a button on the video to move forward. Also, there is a navigational tree on the left hand side for navigation purpose. Again, if you right click there, it shows it as an video but how does it allow user interaction?
3. Any better way of doing that? Any suggestions? On how can I create a better website than these ones?
4. How to implement DRM if I need to? Costing? Better choice among alternatives?
5. Any other suggestions for online videos that I should keep in mind while developing?
I know about Adobe Flex, but I am open to other alternatives as well.
Please suggest.Robohelp
Keep it simple and everything in one place. Have a nice layout and provide links to get to to training material.

Seeking a document management and file sharing solution for an online client portal
Hi
Late last year our developers created a Member’s Portal for a client’s website (built with WordPress) enabling Members to have a secure area for a discussion forum and crucially, secure
document storage and access, and file-sharing. The WordPress plugin chosen for the Portal was WP-Client.
We have a problem though and I wonder if you or anyone can help?
Basically, the solution was supposed to be like Dropbox or Google Drive but within the Portal but with slight differences. The problem is that the current solution we have isn’t like either
and has various flaws which make it unpopular with most members. It uses free software called kcfinder – see
http://kcfinder.sunhater.com/ as the basis for the file management systems.
So we are seeking to change the file management system. This system must do the following:
It’s got to be intuitive e.g. the action open or download must be ‘typical’ (it is not so in kcfinder you have to right click to download for instance
You must be able open an Office document (especially Word, Excel and Powerpoint) online in situ within the portal. Currently in kcfinder you have to download it.
You must be able to edit it online. Currently you have to download it, open it, edit it, re-upload it and overwrite it.
The client uses Sharepoint (I think that’s part of MS Office 365) and wants to be able to I think drag docs from there straight into the Portal file management system (I think at the moment they have to download a file from Sharepoint to their hard drive
and then upload to kcfinder.
We are currently investigating using a WP plugin for Google Drive
https://wp-glogin.com/drive/ and Google Apps for work to create some sort of file management system that meets the requirements.
However having loaded the plugin, the developer has found that two issues remain that so far defeat us:
Firstly, and this seems to be applicable to using Google Drive outside the portal as well as in it - you can’t edit Word docs online in Google Drive without creating a Google Doc. This means we get duplicate docs which we don’t want – and they’re in
the wrong format. We want Word and no duplication. The members/users don’t have time to delete and change the format back to Word. I guess the same applies to other Office docs.
Second, apparently you can’t create a new folder in Google Drive in the portal.
So my question for this forum is really what can you suggest, either as a fix to the Google Drive solution or is there a totally different plugin or set up we can use? Ideally it should
be Office-based or friendly since most of our users use Microsoft Office.
The other proviso is that it must be affordable. We/client cannot afford the $10 per user per month that some systems charge. The attractiveness of the Google option is not only the wide
use of Google Docs (notwithstanding the fact that you can't open Word in GD instead it creates a duplicate in GD) but the fact that the plugin is cheap.
Thanks in anticipation.Hi,
Why don't you take a look at Office Web App server which provides browser-based file viewing and editing services for Office files:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219435.aspx
It can be integrated with your customized website, and provide the ability to online view/editing Office documents..
Hope it helps.

When I try to enter my customer number to log into my online banking website, an error message reads:
This form has been re-submitted. Re-enter your customer number and submit only once.
When I called the bank to find out if they could help they said it was a browser issue and suggested I should use IE or Chrome (No thanks!).
I have gone through all of the Firefox suggested troubleshooting fixes including deleting the cookie files. I have not yet tried resetting Firefox as I was hoping for a simpler solution before taking this step.
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Question
I was on an online course website, logged in and working on an assignment. Suddenly the page disappeared and was not on the tabs either. I went to the home page and tried to log back in and it said I was already logged in on another browser window and if I proceeded to log in again the assignment I was working on would be ended and I would receive a zero. I can't locate the browser window that I was signed in on. Help...I don't want to get a zero, but don't know how to get back into the website under my original log in & get back to my half completed assignment.Hi,
Please try this: In Firefox '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') and check if it is listed in either '''Recently Closed Tabs''' or '''Recently Closed Windows''' or in the list below. If you cannot find it click '''Show All History''', on the left of the window click '''Today''' below '''History''' and on the right look for the site entry corresponding closely to the time when you lost it. If you cannot see the column heading named '''Visit Date''', you may have to enable it by right-clicking on the column header strip.
Also please note that the online course site may have redirected you to another site for the test, so it is also a good idea to look into site entries that may match the time. -
How to use downloaded gallery in your portfolio website?
i'm fairly new to flash and decided to build my own portfolio website. using flash cs4
the overall website is looking and functioning fine but i want to add an image gallery.
I downloaded one which included .fla .as xml and swf files but i dont know what to do with them in the sense of adding them to a particular page in my flash site.........
if anyone knows what to do , help would be great!!First make sure what you downloaded works per your expectations. Then look into using the Loader class to dynamically add the gallery swf to your existing Flash file. You can probably find a tutorial on Google using terms like "AS3 Loader tutorial".
The basic scenario involves using the Loader class to add the swf dynamically and then positioning it as desired. You might have an empty movieclip on teh stage ready to be a home for it, or you might just want to add it to a timeline. There is no guarantee the gallery is designed to be readily addable this way though, so you may need to end up tweaking that file via the fla/as files you acquired.
