Discussion web page

[Guest]

I built a discussion web page using FrontPage 2003. My ISP has the Frontpage
extensions and I published my web using HTTP. The web works so so. However,
each input was put into a seperate file and I have to open each file to view
the discussion. Can I use Frontpage 2003 to display all the input discussions
in one single page so people can conveniently view? If so, what's the steps
to do? Please give as much details as possible. Thanks a lot.

can you provide a link to this discussion web?
Is it possible that you're seeing elements of it outside a frameset?

Here is the link:

You can see that only titles (Articles) are shown. I like to have posted
contents shown and have the intial post and all corresponding posts shown in
the same page. Can you tell me how to do it? Thanks.

In additional, I noticed that the posted time is 4 hours ahead of the actual
time. Why? Comcast is definitely in US.

What you see is normal for the FrontPage discussion web. For more
features you need to search for a discussion web using a technology
that comcast will support (php, Perl/cgi, ASP etc.)

The posted time is GMT ( the -0000 indicates this) - 5 hours ahead of
standard east coast time, 8 hours ahead of PST

Do you mean that I cannot have all the posted contents displayed instead of
only the titles?

By the way, can I change the posted time from GMT to EST? If so, how? Thanks.

 

[Guest]

Actually, I just found that the posted time is 4 hours ahead of standard
eastern time. Any reason?

if you can use ASP this forum is very simple and easy to use in FrontPage:

sometimes the server is in a different time zone or the server thinks it's
"the wrong time" for one reason or another.

Is the server running on Daylight Saving time (EDT)? That will
account for the missing hour.

 

[Ronx]

That is correct. Only all the titles, or just one complete article,
similar to way Outlook Express displays newsgroups (a larger
discussion web of sorts) or email.

The time display can be changed by rightclicking the Post form, choose
form properties, click Options, then change the time display format on
the Article tag. DO not choose a display showing TZ (Time Zone).

thanks for the help. How do I include this forum in my current web?

 

[Guest]

Thanks a lot, Chris. I like that forum and have downloded it. But how do I
include it in my current web to make it work?

 

[Chris Leeds, MVP-FrontPage]

I would import it's folder into your "main" web (file/import...) then I'd
probably make it a subweb.
make a template that matches your "main" web and place it into that page.

another tip that'll make things easier is you can make a "dummy" FrontPage
form and let it think you want it's input saved to the file where the forum
saves it's input. that way you won't need your server admin to set the
"write" permissions for you (because you're tricking FrontPage into doing it
for you). ;-)
