Board index » Web Programming » FP 2002 vs FTP or generic HTML editor

Web Programming271
I have lost all the items on my navigation page with an existing

published web. It is probably because I used FTP to transfer all the

files of the wb to my local harddrive before my web host quit.



In the past the host told me to use FP's publish function, when

transfering either to server or to local PC. Problem is I'm often not

at home with my copy of FP when I need to update the pages.



Is there a decent WYSIWYG HTML editor that can allow modification of

individual pages after a web has been set up on the server?



Thanks all,

Peter

If you are using FP components and hosted on a FP enabled web server, then

you have to use FP to manage the content.



If no FP components and no FP extensions, then you can use any application

that can download and then re-upload the updated content.



Or



Look for a web host the provide the ability to create template based web

site where you would access a control panel from any browser to maintain

your content.

Thomas,

Thank you for the reply, and it seems you are right.



Though my present server has FP extensions and FP should do what I'd

like, I have many times had to fiddle with site navigation functions

in FP just to make them work as advertized. Ditto for subsequent,

monthly updates on the same site



I need more flexibility in site design than the templates methods

provide. I would like something like an HTML editor handles site

navigation bars better than FP.

Personally, I always create my own navigation structure manually using text

links and FP Include Pages, this way I have complete control over the site

navigation.

Thomas,

Sounds good but can't find any reference to 'Include Pages' in FP

help. But did find tutorial via Google:

www.mcg.edu/itd/WTG/Classes/InterFP/includes.htm">www.mcg.edu/itd/WTG/Classes/InterFP/includes.htm



I am asuming you like FP for most other things?



Many thanks

Peter

Under FP Help you would search for:



Display a page on another page



I avoid using the following FP features/functions:



Shared Borders

Themes

Navigation

Thumbnails

Guest book

Discussion web



I do use FP for all development work, publishing and general management of

most site content. 99.9% of all of my project are ASP based, database driven

web sites.
