Included Content

[G Hustis]

I'm really a novice at FP and I'm probably using the wrong fature. I am
trying to use the Included Content/Page concept to provide updates to a
particular web page. The page is an Agenda of the next monthly meeting. I was
trying to use the Included content feature where an Admin Assistant would
create the agenda in MS word, save it as a htm and FTP it to the folder where
the previous agenda was. So now the new Agenda would be available. Problem is
that when the next visitor to the site clicks this page the last month's
Agenda still displays. It seems that I have to repost the webpage to
reference the new data. Is this right or am i doing something wrong? If this
is the way FP works then is there another method to have an Admin Assistant
simply FTP data to the site and the web page pick up the changes?
Thanks
Gary

The site would have to be open via FP and the new page saved over the current page that is being
included or you have to open the site in FP and run Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks command.

Thomas,
Thanks, that's what i figured would be the case. Is there another technique
that I could use to allow a Admin Assistant to post updates to a web page
without opening FP?

Instead of using the FP Bot to do the include at design
time, use a server-side include which the server will
assemble at the time the page is requested. This can be done
using either scripting pages such as ASP(X) or PHP, or it
could be done on an SHTML page

Mike,
These were my thoughts also

Of course once the page is updated locally, it needs to be updated on the
server.

This *can* be done with FTP, provided one has the password for the site. But
care has to be taken to *only* FTP this file or FP Server Extensions can be
broken

Mike,
Thanks for responding. Couple more very basic questions. Where do i get
started learning these? I have VS2005 & an ASP.Net step by step book. Are
there any other resourses MS provides on the web that i should read/buy? Can
i develop these through FP? The FP book i have doesn't even imply that these
other options exist.
Thanks for your indulgence.
Gary
