FP 2003 what features to use

B

Bill Hunt

I'm starting to use FP 2003 after using FP 2002 for ~2 months. Our
site was built last year using Netscape Composer using SSI for menus
and navigation bars and hand built templates.

Composer was very buggy and annoying but free which matters to our all
volunteer non-profit. Our site is hosted on a Lin ux bo running
Apache. I use PHP and MySQL where I need them. I defined a manual
version control process that is cumbersome but allows changes to
backed out.

I'm a 30 year career programmer (Windows kernel stuff) and can endure
crappy tools and a tedious, error-[rone process. My co-developer
stopped doing any changes because the process was too error-prone for
him. I looked at WYSIWYG HTML editors and reluctantly decided that FP
2003 was the right choice in spite of the cost. I mostly want to make
it possible for other people in the non-profit to create content.

Our server will not have FP extensions or any ODBC/ASP/IIS stuff.
WebDAV is possible but FTP seems more secure and easier for me.

So which FP 2003 features should I use and avoid?

- shared borders sounded like an interesting alternative to SSI but it
appears to be tied to FP server entensions. Include Page seems to be
a MS version of SSI.

- conflict detection sounds valuable. Any downsides?

- automatic synchronization sounds a bit risky when there have been
interlocking updates.

- check-out/check-in seems to be vulnerable to someone forgetting to
check-in a file. I don't see any clear information on clearing the
lock.

- publishing sounds good for my co-workers but I read messages
describing problems with FTP as a link to the server. Are we better
just doing server updates manually with a separate FTP program?

- automatic thumbnails sounds useful since making thumbnails of bird
and flower pictures is a big problem for us. However, it sounds a bit
limited.

Any comments on these or other features would be appreciated.

The online help seems pretty bad compared to past MS products. The
Buyens book seems the most detailed but no book has enought detailed
info especially on using FP w/o FP server extensions.

using the dynamic web templates/ editable regions would be great for your
situation. the FrontPage include page feature is a save time function but
won't update all that well without the extensions (same for the dwt/
editable regions). You may want to look at a different host provider.
there are a lot more windows hosts than there used to be and the price is
often quite similar to Unix hosts.

An even better question is: what FrontPages features should I not use and
which ones, such as the PhotoGallery component are too quirky to bother
with?
Concerning Photo Galleries:
http://www.eleanorstravels.com/PhotoGalleryPrograms/index.htm
For instance don't use:
1. Absolute positioning
2. the drawing tools
3. the image tool bar
and there are more. I wish someone would make a complete list.

DON"T use a separate FTP program

For the Features that require the FP SE See (FP 2003 uses the FP2002 SE)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=281532

Shared borders (and Include Pages) don't require the FP SE on the server
- they are design time includes, not run time
The new Dynamic Web Templates are more powerful

Conflict detection?
Do you Mean Browser Compatibility Checking?

Synchronization requires the FP SE on the online host
Check In / Out requires the FP SE on the local or online host
- w/o the FP SE you are limited to FTP "publishing"
- 3rd party FTP is always more powerful than the FP FTP

Re: include page
Stefan,
If I change a page that's used as a FrontPage include and right click/
publish selected files, and publish just the include page it changes in all
the pages on the server web that it's included in.
Would it still work that way without the extensions? How could the server
web "know" to do this without the extensions?

No
The Include is Design time only
- changes are saved to the files using it
- you need to publish all the affected files

I have noticed that say, if I change a menu that's included, and publish
just that menu page, all the pages it's included into are updated
automatically. I assumed the server knew and re-wrote the pages.

Correct
When you save the include page, FP in the background is re-saving all the files affected w/ the new content, and updating the meta
data on those files to indicate they have changed (and need publishing)

That's what I find, too.
However, if there are no server extensions every page affected by the
include would have to be uploaded.

automatically. I assumed the server knew and re-wrote the pages.

chris leeds

maybe I'm mis-explaining what I think I'm seeing.
I'm not publishing all the pages, just the include. it seems that the
server is, for lack of a better phrase, "cascading" the include page into
all the other pages that use it. I'm sure I'm not publishing all the pages
because I'm using the "publish selected files", plus it's too quick to have
published all the pages.
Maybe I'm losing my mind. ;-)

When you save the include page, FP in the background is re-saving all the

Comments interspersed.

I'm starting to use FP 2003 after using FP 2002 for ~2 months. Our
site was built last year using Netscape Composer using SSI for menus
and navigation bars and hand built templates.

Composer was very buggy and annoying but free which matters to our all
volunteer non-profit. Our site is hosted on a Lin ux bo running
Apache. I use PHP and MySQL where I need them. I defined a manual
version control process that is cumbersome but allows changes to
backed out.

I'm a 30 year career programmer (Windows kernel stuff) and can endure
crappy tools and a tedious, error-[rone process. My co-developer
stopped doing any changes because the process was too error-prone for
him. I looked at WYSIWYG HTML editors and reluctantly decided that FP
2003 was the right choice in spite of the cost. I mostly want to make
it possible for other people in the non-profit to create content.

Our server will not have FP extensions or any ODBC/ASP/IIS stuff.
WebDAV is possible but FTP seems more secure and easier for me.

So which FP 2003 features should I use and avoid?

- shared borders sounded like an interesting alternative to SSI but it
appears to be tied to FP server entensions. Include Page seems to be
a MS version of SSI.

Both of these work by replicating content at design time (not browse
time). As a result, they work find on server's that don't have the
server extensions installed. However, if you update a Shared Borders
or Include Page segment that appears in 100 pages, you have to upload
all 100 pages.
- conflict detection sounds valuable. Any downsides?

It's a good feature, but people have trouble understanding how to
react to it. The proper response is to examine both files (source and
destination) and then merge them or decide which version to keep. But
the one-word message "Conflict" doesn't seem to trigger this response.

I've come across some cases where FrontPage falsely detects conflicts
because the development Web site and the remote FTP site are in
different time zones.
- automatic synchronization sounds a bit risky when there have been
interlocking updates.

Exactly. Never shoot blind.
- check-out/check-in seems to be vulnerable to someone forgetting to
check-in a file. I don't see any clear information on clearing the
lock.

FrontPage includes so-called "lightweight" source control, and
administrative overrides are one place that's deserves this
designation. In other words, there *are* no administrative overrides.

If you turn source control off and on, that clears all checkouts in
the current Web site. If you need to get more granular than that, you
need to monkey around with bits in FrontPage's hidden, internal
directories.

For more robust source control, install Visual Source Safe on the
development server.
- publishing sounds good for my co-workers but I read messages
describing problems with FTP as a link to the server. Are we better
just doing server updates manually with a separate FTP program?

In general, no, let FrontPage do you publishing. The reason is that
you may not know about all the files FrontPage updates as you work,
and if you forget to upload those files, something won't work.
- automatic thumbnails sounds useful since making thumbnails of bird
and flower pictures is a big problem for us. However, it sounds a bit
limited.

Limited how?

In any event, stand-along graphics programs will always beat the
picture tools that come with FrontPage.
Any comments on these or other features would be appreciated.

The online help seems pretty bad compared to past MS products. The
Buyens book seems the most detailed but no book has enought detailed
info especially on using FP w/o FP server extensions.

Bill
http://www.wcosf.org/

Stefan B Rusynko has already posted a link on features to use/avoid if
you don't have the server extensions.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to publish customized versions of a
book this size for each different development environment. However, I
do try to provide server and browser compatibility information in the
text for any features where it makes a difference.

Are you sure you don't want to look around for full-featured Windows
hosting? For some places to look, jump to the bottom of this article:

Chris,
Trust me, they are all being published. It's invisible.
You can also simply save the include when done and then select publish
and the same thing happens.

it's not possible that 100 updated pages are getting published. the server
_must_ be updating the pages that require the include page. believe me, I'd
notice the difference between one page at 3 or 4 seconds and 100. I'm no
guru but I'd notice that. ;-)

Might be that since FP2003 does open access to the site (FP SE) when you publish (to get the meta data from the online site), the
publishing event causes a recalculate hyperlinks on the server side site, which does update (resave) pages using the includes
If that's the case, (and all 100 of your pages change content & time/dates), then that's an improvement in FP 2003 I was not aware
of

Try it on 2 distinct different days or times and compare your published sites file dates (and online in browser) to see if the
changes really propagated

--




| it's not possible that 100 updated pages are getting published. the server
| _must_ be updating the pages that require the include page. believe me, I'd
| notice the difference between one page at 3 or 4 seconds and 100. I'm no
| guru but I'd notice that. ;-)

I've come across some cases where FrontPage falsely detects conflicts
because the development Web site and the remote FTP site are in
different time zones.

I ran into this on my own system - even though the server was in the
same house (and therefore time zone), my FTP daemon defaulted to
reporting times in GMT, and FrontPage was expecting them in EST. I had
to reconfigure the FTP server to get FP2003 to stop reporting conflicts.

Your right - does it in FP2002 and FP2003
But I guess it is makes sense
What FP is doing is running a recalculate hyperlinks after any publish event (this includes a single page publish of an include page
file) to update the server side FP META data
- that forces an update of "indexes" which means the FP SE on the server are opening & re-saving the content of all affected pages
right after the "upload" (not changing that affected file's date/time)

That's an interesting short cut, but it could be dangerous if somehow your include page html is broken (malformed table) and the
resultant pages using it are broken and can't display at all

On a non FP SE site w/ FTP it would not be able to do that, so the changes would not propagate to the affected pages

Stefan,
thank you so much for that post. I really was doubting my sanity. and
wondering if I had 30 or 40 different menus all over my site!
It's a super cool feature, and that one alone is worth having the extensions
(imho).
It seems the more I use FrontPage the features I like most are the ones that
don't get much "buzz". like publishing/ organization, easy database
connection setups, include page, etc.
I'm now just starting to play with fp 2003 and it seems that I'm really
liking the "snippets", and some of the other little things nobody really
yaks about.
Thanks again!

Your right - does it in FP2002 and FP2003
But I guess it is makes sense
What FP is doing is running a recalculate hyperlinks after any publish
event (this includes a single page publish of an include page
file) to update the server side FP META data
- that forces an update of "indexes" which means the FP SE on the server
are opening & re-saving the content of all affected pages
right after the "upload" (not changing that affected file's date/time)

That's an interesting short cut, but it could be dangerous if somehow your
include page html is broken (malformed table) and the
resultant pages using it are broken and can't display at all

On a non FP SE site w/ FTP it would not be able to do that, so the changes
would not propagate to the affected pages

Wait till you find DWT and Behaviors( plus how to customize them)

| Stefan,
| thank you so much for that post. I really was doubting my sanity. and
| wondering if I had 30 or 40 different menus all over my site!
| It's a super cool feature, and that one alone is worth having the extensions
| (imho).
| It seems the more I use FrontPage the features I like most are the ones that
| don't get much "buzz". like publishing/ organization, easy database
| connection setups, include page, etc.
| I'm now just starting to play with fp 2003 and it seems that I'm really
| liking the "snippets", and some of the other little things nobody really
| yaks about.
| Thanks again!

unless I finally learn how to do the .net stuff first!, which is unlikely at
best. It may be possible that I'm the only person on the face of the planet
who's allergic to .net. better call the CDC. ;-)
