Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but here goes. I have no problem with using dream weaver or note pad to edit my websites. However, if I want to allow someone who does not know a single HTML tag to maintain his/her own site after I create one for him/her, that would be a problem. What free CMS (content management system) out there will allow me to achieve my goal? I would like WYSIWYG as one of the features and also drag and drop capability to allow dragging and dropping of different web elements. I have seen many free ones but they did not satisfy my needs. Please point me to ones that are user friendly and have all of what I have mentioned above. Any suggestions would be great, thank you in advance for your help.

Not knowing what kind of website you want to implement suggestions are hard to make. Have you tried Joomla?

Hallo. I'm actually working on a gig where my client uses DotNetNuke (DNN). It is free/open source, though doubtless the hosting and any personal tech support is what adds cost.
DNN is an open source CMS built on ASP.Net, snd so far, I'm finding that it works fairly well, comes with several basic skins and choices of other free/low-cost skins, etc. You can add security, create different portals (such as using it as your CMS of choice for multiple clients with different website addresses), etc.
As for the WYSIWYG part, DNN has FCKEditor (FE) built in for that, so you will need to study FE to work out minor CSS issues brought on by slight conflicts between the built-in DNN Stylesheet Editor and the FE syles and config files. Looks pretty easy if you have access to the full directories (which as a contractor I do not). Check it out:
DotNetNuke:

FCKEditor: www.fckeditor.net/[^]
Good luck!!

Hi.
I have been trying to customise osCommerce to match the colour scheme the client (a friends mother) wanted (lime green, pink and purple, managed to convince that pink is all thats needed), which has all gone fine so far, except for the fact osCommerce keeps throwing this warning "Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: C:\\Inetpub\\vhosts\\krazykrafters.co.nz\\httpdocs\\oscommerce/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.". I understand the problem, but despite hours of trying various file permission combinations for the file, it still there. It would be nice if plesk was more like cpanel and you could do something like [rwx--xrw-] but it doesnt.
Anyone with experience in plesk able to help?

Can you access the shell through plesk? If not you could just write a PHP script to change the permissions for you.

The .NET 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit covers the technologies in the .NET 3.5 SP1 release and the out of band releases that are a part of the same wave, namely ASP.NET MVC and the ASP.NET Silverlight controls. Currently, the training kit contains six hands-on labs, made up of the following technologies:
- ADO.NET Data Services
- ADO.NET Entity Framework
- ASP.NET AJAX History
- ASP.NET Dynamic Data
- ASP.NET MVC
- ASP.NET Silverlight controls
All six labs contained within the kit have been tested and validated by customers during two .NET 3.5 SP1 training workshops held in Redmond. We will continue to receive customer and field feedback on the labs and incorporate the feedback into future iterations. There will also be new versions of the training kit with additional content, including presentations, demo scripts and screencasts.
You can download the training kit at http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=8719735[^]
The next iterative release of the kit will occur in sync with the beta release of .NET 3.5 SP1.

Hi all! PHP Newb here,hoping you could help..
I've got the following code:
<code>
$FSFriendlyTitle = str_replace(':',':',$VMRow['Title']);
echo "<h2>".$VMRow['Title']." (Season ".$VMRow['SeasonReleased'].")</h2><hr/>";
//echo "/Images/Posters/".$FSFriendlyTitle.".jpg";
if(file_exists("/Images/Posters/".$FSFriendlyTitle.".jpg"))
{
echo "<img src='/Images/Posters/".$FSFriendlyTitle.".jpg' alt='".$VMRow['Title']."'/><p/>";
}
else
{
echo "<img src='/Images/Posters/Poster Missing.jpg' alt='".$VMRow['Title']."'/><br/>";
}
</code>
which is supposed to display an image file if it exists and a predefined one if it doesn't. The problem is that it always displays the predefined file, unless I negate the result from file_exists (but then the code attempts to display images that doesn't exist too). Yes, the images exist(the path is correct too, if I paste the output path[by the commented echo] into the url it works) and I have have a near identical setup with a different set of images, which works.If you need more info, just ask. Anybody got any idea here?

Can I ask why you chose to learn PHP ?

Because it is touted as a versatile and powerful scripting language I wanted to learn so that I have something to compare VBScript to.

Personally, I feel PHP is far-ahead, more versatile than the crap VB family.

The path given to file_exists() should be the actual physical path on your filesystem, not the one in the URL. Probably you should prepend $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] to your path.

Hey Quiltfish. Before I answer your question I'd like to notify you about the new PHP forum offered by CP. It is located at: http://lamp.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1213656[^]
Quiltfish wrote: if(file_exists("/Images/Posters/".$FSFriendlyTitle.".jpg"))
I think you will find that on a Linux server this will try look for the image in the root folder. To make it so that it searches from the current location in the file system then remove the "/" before the Images directory in the above code. If that doesn't solve your problem let me know and I'll give you some other suggestions.

Ack! So simple and yet.. Hehe, thanks everyone who replied!
finished snippet:
<code>$FSFriendlyTitle = str_replace(':','-',$VMRow['Title']);
$FSFriendlyTitle = str_replace('!','',$FSFriendlyTitle);
$FSFriendlyTitle = str_replace('\'','',$FSFriendlyTitle);
$FSFriendlyTitle = 'Images/Posters/'.$FSFriendlyTitle.'.jpg';
echo "<h2>".$VMRow['Title']." (Season ".$VMRow['SeasonReleased'].")</h2><br/>";
if(file_exists($FSFriendlyTitle))
{
echo "<img src='/Images/Posters/".basename($FSFriendlyTitle)."' alt='".$VMRow['Title']."'/><p/>";
}
else
{
echo "<img src='/Images/Posters/Poster Missing.jpg' alt='".$VMRow['Title']."'/><br/>";
}</code>
Also, is it just me or are code tags broken?

Just a quick guess. Did you try passing the path to real or realpath [I can not recall the exact method in PHP], which is the equivalent of Server.MapPath in ASP.
I feel your PHP Zend Engine is trying to use the VirtualPath as a Physical Path. Note that on a Unix system / is the top root.

Hello everybody,
I'm currently working on my diploma thesis. I have thought to develop a mobile application that could send a request via sms to a web service which would process that info, and though Google Maps API would return that requested location. So i have to store that specified location map as a jpg format for example, in order to send it back to the mobile user though a mms. Is there any code or any script or any module that can be included into my application in order to store the Google Map location as a picture format? It's very important to me to have an answer back as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Erisa

Hello,
I am VC++ programmer. I am novice to ASP. I am using CWebBrowser2(ActiveX control) to navigate some user-written ASP pages from my application. When I navigate from my CWebBrowser2 control, I am telling it to use POST transaction instead of GET transaction and sending some Post data string.
The problem is I don't know correct way how to read this data in ASP. I used Request method but no use. Offcourse, I am not sure 100% that my activeX control is really using POST method to send data correct way. Can somebody help me to read post data. Or is there a way to monitor IIS to see how the activex control sending the request ?
FYI: I am sending string : "MYInput=This is my input"
Thanks.

You should be able to determine the type of request by examining the Request object, but to be honest it's been a while since i've used ASP and so i can't confirm that. You might want to try the ASP.NET forum.
You might also find Fiddler[^] useful for examining the request on its way to the wire...

The activeX control from C++ is posting data in binary. I am able to read the data in ASP using
Response.BinaryWrite(Request.BinaryRead(Request.To talBytes))
Is there any easy way to read or convert it into string in my ASP?
I tried Request.Form("MyInput") and Request("MyInput") but no help.

Hi guys,
this week I tried to rebuild this example:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/WebService_Authentication.aspx[^]
But it will not work
The credentials and the policy will be set but when I want to call the web service I got an error like this:
SOAP header Security was not understood.
I tried many hours to solve this issue but in vain.
If you want I may send the service and the client project file to you.
Hope you can help me
Best regards

I'd like to create on-line help for my software and am looking for a help authoring app that will assist. I found programs like "Help & Manual" that do this, but all the ones I tried have the same problem: They use frames in the generated help pages with the table of contents in one frame and the currently viewed help page in another frame. This means that people won't be able to link to specific pages in the help since all pages appear to have the same URL. For me this defeats the whole purpose of putting the manual on-line.
Isn't there some system that will help me create an on-line manual, will do things like automatically create the tables of contents, but that will do it in such a way that I can link to specific page in the manual?

I am trying to build a Web Service proxy using WSDL. When running WSDL from the command line I receive the following error:
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:61968/WebSite1/Service.asmx?WSDL

Please help.
Thanks!

One thing I forgot to mention was that I am using the command:
WSDL http://localhost:19631/WebSite1/service.asmx?WSDL
And am trying to build it on a Windows Server 2003 machine.
