BobbyDouglas -> RE: Help making a frames page web into a non frames page one (12/2/2004 23:45:28)
|
First, is there a way to change the web from a frames page to a non frames page, or do I have to start this thing from scratch?
- Sounds like you almost have to start over, but you can use most of your existing code.
This is what I would do:
I would create a left navigation for all pages, and put what you currently have on the left side, inside the left navigation. Apply changes to all pages, and that should be fine.
Make sure you create a full backup of everything before you try my suggestion, or any other suggestions people might come at you with. The last thing you want to do is screw up the entire site, but hey, mistakes happen [;)]
If I was you, I would create a new template, and incorporate the left/top/content areas into this template, and then use this to form all of the other pages. You aren't starting over just because you can copy/paste most of the existing code into the new template.
For your second & third questions:
Second, I know I need to make new buttons and have them on the main arrival page, but is there a way to get them onto the other 800 plus pages without having to go and do it one page at a time?
- Search & replace. Search for a tag that every page has that you want to add this information to, but make sure the pages you do not want to add this information to does not have the tag.
Then replace the tag with the menu code.
Basically, don't search and replace the </head> tag because there might be some pages that use the </head> tag but you do not want the menu to appear on those pages.
Onoce again, make sure you create a backup. When I do search & replaces, I end up having around 15-30 different backups while I do this. The last thing you want to do is start all over from the beginning, or try to correct a search & replace problem.
I hope that is explained well enough, let me know if anything I said is unclear.
