ejh Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I am thinking about getting NetObjects Fusion--> www.netobjects.com. My question is if anyone has used/ heard anything on the program. Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatfolios sysop Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I used it and I was able to get a site up and going with it, but after switching to Dreamweaver I will never go back.... It is so much cleaner in code! Mr. Bill :Nerd: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvind Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 But apparently TCH doesn't support it http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=9848 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 While TCH may not support their WebDAV server components you should still be able to use this product and publish with FTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rick Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Cold Fusion server components are not supported but I believe NetObjects will allow creating html code, php code, etc. which are supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejh Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 Getting confused... Can I use NetObjects Fusion with TCH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Yes, you can use NetObjects Fusion. You cannot use their WebDEV components though. These would be similar to FrontPage WebBots but are not supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Getting confused... Can I use NetObjects Fusion with TCH? Yes you can, just not for making dynamic sites with WebDAV.I tried NetObjects a few years ago, but didn't like it, the output code was messy and bloated (it used pixel-stretching for accurate placement.) It was really easy to use though. I would really consider Macromedia's Dreamweaver instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejh Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 What's WebDAV... How's that going to affect me? What's the problem with a "messy code?" Won't a clean code and messy code give you the same thing? Thanks a ton to everyone!!! PS: Probably would be getting Dreamweaver but Windows ME and Dreamweaver don't quite go hand-in-hand.

TCH-Bruce Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 What's WebDAV... Components that work in conjunction with the HTML to make the site interactive like forms and such where they have their own handlers for the forms. TCH does not support those. You would have to rely on building your forms and have them interact with a Perl or PHP cgi script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejh Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Dang it- I thought I found the perfect product and now my favorite hosting company doesn't support it... Does TCH support forms and all from other softwares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattoovampire Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Dang it- I thought I found the perfect product and now my favorite hosting company doesn't support it... Does TCH support forms and all from other softwares? Best bet is to stay away from the proprietary stuff. NOF and Dreamweaver are both great WYSIWYG editors and you can get by without the other stuff they try to throw at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejh Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 I guess my biggest issue is the whole forms thing... Are there ways to (somewhat easily ) get a forum up? From what I understand, there are ways- but are the ways comparable to performing brain surgery? :hug: Thanks guys! :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattoovampire Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Try http://www.formsite.com. You design the form online, they host the script that makes it work, and then you get either a link to the form or the code to insert into your own page. It's free.

TCH-Bruce Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Eric, if you are dumping FrontPage because you can't get the form web-bot to work you should take a look at the Ultimate Form Mail script. Using this script you can make your FrontPage forms work. Or you can request help in the Looking for... forum and I am sure someone will be able to assist you in creating a form handler.

ejh Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 No... that isn't the reason. After I've been doing websites for some political candidates for free, I have kind of thought that I should think about doing this as a business and all. If I'm going to charge someone for my services, I want to offer the highest quality possible and I don't think that that satisfaction can be acheived using FrontPage. With regard to the forum issue I had... I probably will use that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deverill Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Keep in mind, Eric, that the WebDAV stuff they are talking about, in the context they mention it, is FORMS not FORUMS. If you want to have a forum then there is at least one here at TCH that you can one-click install and then format to your taste. The forUms are not generally functions of the web creation software but rather a whole heap of programming on the back end. It's like Forms. You can use FP's built-in form thingy and it will only work on some of the servers, or you can use Jack's Ultimate Form program and it will work anywhere that has PHP. Any features you can't use can be done other ways. It's just a matter of which product you prefer to use to do the rest of the site with. By all means, get your hands on every trial version you can and see what it's like. You'll have to give the beefier versions a fair shake though - you can't fully eval Dreamweaver in an hour for instance. Hope it helps!
