RE: Handy Chart - 10/19/2002 21:06:00
quote:
More specifically, Publish requires the server extensions, but you can easily use FTP in FrontPage to servers with no FP extensions. I had a classroom of high school kids doing it earlier this week with no problems. Of course there is none of that " live on the server" stuff available, but if you ' re not using extensions, then FP' s import works fine to bring the site from the server to the local machine.
Huh?
The " File upload" feature is a feature that allows visitors to a site to upload files to the server - has nothing to do with " publish" or FTP' g site files.
Yes, FTPing Frontpage sites to a server without the extensions works just fine - as long as you are usinf any of the features listed above.
However the Frontpage Import feature is a total waste of time and effort - simplt FTP the files from the server and get what files you want/need - import will NOT get all the files.

Gil - Whoops my apologies I misread the first line and jumped to confusions. For the kids I' m teaching import is the only thing they have, not FTP clients. I agree, import is only skightly better than nothing!

I can " Publish" to a FTP url that has NO FP extensions installed. Works on FP 2000 but don' t know if it works with later versions.

Actually Don, you can only " Publish" * to a server w/ the extensions installed - otherwise you are using FTP to transfer the files.
* A term Microsoft invented to designate the unique process Frontpage uses to transfer files and make use of server side processes

RE: Handy Chart - 11/7/2002 23:29:28
I was just thinking about this issue today, I' m so glad a thread was already started.
I' m using FP2000 and I want to get away from using the FP Publish and using FTP instead. I don' t know if this is common or not, but if I upload with FTP it royally screws up the extensions on my host server.
I have two quick questions about whether these options will work without any extensions. I know the list is up there, but I just want to make sure.
1) On the Background tab, will the " Enable Hyperlink Rollover Effects" still work or should I find a simple Javascript instead?
2) I' m pretty sure on this one, but shared border still work don' t they?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Without the Sahrepoint ext on a server I don't know if there will be any sustain difference between it and 2002. I would rather they make 2003 ext for people who don't want to deal with all the sharepoint crap. It's just not practical unless your a big orginization.
oh well.
I still have Homesite 4.5

Yep - I find myself using Hopmesite more & more. But have been using DW MX a lot more lately.
I really think MS as gone too far w/ FP2003 - they have always thrown up roadblocks with the "MS Only" mentality - but this time they are out there some where.
Go 'Noles!!!!!1

RE: Components that require FP Extensions - 10/8/2003 15:23:07
I am publishing a simple page with a hit counter to a win2k server with fp2002 installed.
the page has the webb components :
hit counter
marquee
the marquee works
the hit counter shows an "x" and the word "hit counter"
I manage the server, what should I do to get the server side hit counter working ?
thanks

YOu can use Adobe Photoshop and Image Ready to make rollovers and other effects that use javascript. Then you can just cut and paste that element into your site build in Frontpage, then use an ordinary FTP program to upload what you need to your non-FP-ext-site, and there you have it.
If you upload an FP site with FTP you should never upload all those extension folders. It screws things up royally. Just upload the pages, manually build the image directory (and other directories), and manually upload their contents as well.
