I've been doing ASP by hand-coding in either Homesite or Interdev for years. I have been using Dreamwever for static sites that I make on the side. I recently was asked to make a form which will store info in an Access database, and thought it would be a good chance to learn how to use Dreamweaver MX's ASP capabilities.
Haven't tried it yet, but reading up on it, it seems that it forces you to use Session variables. I'm not a big fan of session variables, and want to avoid them. Anyone here use DW MX for ASP?
Most of my ASP programming experience is on NT4.We recently upgraded (replaced) our NT4 webserver with Win2k3 Web Edition.I am looking for a good book that I can go through that will show me the new and different ways IIS6 does things. I found out that some things still work from my old web site, but they no longer work on the new site.
This questions is a little one sided, I used to have the connection to the database on the site until I learned about the global.asa and since then all my sites have used it. I don't know the benefits of this file vs any other methods so I have to ask. But first let me explain.
I have a site, one of the many using the global.asa, it works 2 Microsoft access databases that run pretty much simultaneously on the site. Today, my host sends me an email telling me that they are open constantly and it's causing them problems on their shared server. So I modified the asa to close the database after every session and the host I had done so. They replied shortly after saying that a session could be open for 20 minutes before closing and they did not see this amend as helping the problem. So I'm looking for an alternate method.
The site itself is a collection database with over 1,200 user accounts, I have absolutely no idea how many of these user accounts are actually in use, but that is how many registered users there are in the database. Most of the regular users probably visit every day or two and I know that the admin (of about 8) visits daily to update the records unless there is nothing to add.
I've been given 7 days to solve this problem or they will close this particular site down. So in this case, is global.asa a good idea? If not, what method could I use to minimise the database being opened?
I am an intermediate ASP programmer looking to start learning .NET and am looking for a good book to start learning from. Anyone have any recommendations on a good book to get me started?
Can anyone find fault with this code? I wrote in in hopes of preventing users from "breaking" SQL queries and getting places they shouldn't by using SQL Injections.
Ive been making asp sites for about 2 years, but my first "real" site is going to be going live soon. Im currently seeking out a reliable hosting company based in england to host this website. Has anybody got any ideas of a good host? Ive been searching around for some time, but have not come across any that looks good enough. Im not after a dedicated server, shared hosting will do.
I looking for a tutorial on charts/graphs which would take information from the DB table. I have a column about 31000 records and numbered field of 001-0022. I hav another field which contains texts.
What I'm looking for is to show graphically on a scale of 001-022 as in the first field how many time does the search criteria appear.
For example: I search a keyword "hello"
and the graph would show 001: 30 times, 002: 4 times...022: 1 time, but as a chart.
I think it would be nice to add a percentage calculation too.
I have written a few functions that are used on several pages throughout my site and am wondering what a good exection time might be (generally). The inital page a user is faced with after logging in pulls data from several different tables and displays 40 rows all together.
The execution time for this particular page is the slowest at approx. 950 ms to 1400 ms. This seems awfully slow. This is probably because I am executing 10 different stored procedures instead of one (I thought it would be too big of a challenge to write a single select statement and parse through all the data). What sort of execution times are acceptable to most of you? What do you usually shoot for?
I am trying to send out a mass email newsletter. I have 600+ subscribers in our SQL Server Database. Well, is ASPMail (Server Object's product) good for this? If so I have some concerns about the error handling and assuring people don't continue to recieve the same email. Does anyone have expierence with this? If so, what is your advice?
Since my efforts to get my current script working are not working out. Does anyone know of a good ASP form handling script that can work with my HTML form.
Does anyone know of a good yet simple shopping cart written in ASP? It doesn't have to be free I am willing to pay up to $200. I am just looking for a simple front end and an admin area to add products easily.
I'm looking for a good web-based calendar that I can host on my website. Some features I'm looking for are the ability to schedule birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
with email notification of when the event is nearing. Picture uploads are something else I'm looking for. Easy to read and easy to maintain is also a plus.
I'm trying to get some recommendations on credit card authorisation suppliers such as paypal, worldpay or 2checkout.
Seems like a bit of a mine field so wondering if anyone has any view, positive or negative on these (or other) suppliers.
I notice paypal is free but chargers about 3% or the goods sold which isn't bad for a small startup. I think Worldpay is about 2% but charges a monthly fee.
Is it easy to get this up and running on a site? do you connect to theirs to do the payment or just fire secured data to them to process? is one a better deal, safer and easier to implement than another?
I am greeting I would like to consult the better solution(with security consideration) to the access is for MSSQL(2005) from ASP(Classic) in the system of the intranet.
a) SQL mixed mode and depositing user name and passwords for MSSQL of the server in "connection string" (with open text)
b) Windows Authentication and to send rights to SQL of the server for IUSR_computername c) ?
Intranet(server ASP and MSSQL) in the company available from the any computer, workers data (name and pass) they are being kept in MSSQL tables. Problem is because Server MSSQL(Intranet) he will be replacing himself into data with two MSSQL servers and with one PostgreSQL through Windows Authentication.
Does anyone know of an ASP-based search engine that uses a crawler/spider? Preferably, I'd like one that uses markup tags so that I can, for example, exclude blocks of text from being indexed, such as the header or navigation borders.
Dreamweaver MX has a behavior called Restrict Access To Page. It is not working for me. I have Access 2000 db set up and working. The registration and login pages work based on the database info. It is only this behavior I can not get to work. My db has a field AccessLevel. There I made sure I had admin entered to match to the Behavior condition. I still do not get access to the page even though the admin is the AccessLevel condition.
I keep my church's website updated. Recently they got someone to do a new design. This guy used asp for all the pages and I know nothing about it. When I try to make updates I try to view the page with DreamweaverMX 2004, but it all comes out funky looking.
The footer is at the top of the page, the text is all on one side. Graphics are just wherever. Believe it or not I can update this, but I frequently have to do pages from scratch and I would like to know what it will look like before I download to the server. Is there some setting I can change on Dreamweaver to make things look right.
Our designer doesn't have a clue. He just says to learn to write code. I can learn the code if I have to but we have other volunteers who aren't as computer savvy.
I'm just about to embark on building a custom cms with Dreamweaver MX with ASP. I've done something on a very mico level, but i'm gonna go bigger this time.
Something along the lines of Interactive Tools Page Publisher.
Can someone recomend some invaluable (and free) Dreaweaver extensions that can help in this process. Also, if there are any good DWMX tutorials and open source stuff that can help in this process.
I'm using the out of the box Dreamweaver login script (I'm a super noob developer) and I'm interfacing with a database that uses MD5 to protect passwords. I need help modifying the DW code to work with this. Code:
I've tried (during a trial period) Dreamweaver quite extensively for HTML coding. I thought it did a good job of that. I'm just dipping my toes into ASP, and I was wondering if people found it as good for ASP programming as they did for HTML.
I'm seriously thinking about purchasing either Dreamweaver or, may be Studio.
I see that Dreamweaver MX has a pre-written ASP login script that you can just drop in, as well as a drop-in for every page to ensure users are logged in before they can view the page.
Can any security-types out there tell me if this is any good? We're setting up one site where the database is above root level, so I'm hoping that the DW system will provide adequate security (since its SOOO easy to use). Will it?
Im using dream weaver to connect to my database. I hav e made my connection successfully, added my recordset succesfully....however when i insert my dynamic text.....
I know that this is not the most appropriate forum for this question, but after the excellent advice i have recieved from some members about various things I figured I would wrack your brains. The situation is this: The webserver in question is settled behind a firewall, and you can only get ftp access if your ip address is on a trusted list. A colleague of mine wants to access it from home but due to the fact that he has a dynamic ip address he is unable to be added to the trusted list.
I assumed that his access would be denied, and sure enough when i configured dreamweaver for the site it did indeed fail to connect. So far this makes sense, but then I discovered that if, when on the website in IE, if he clicks the edit with frontpage button frontpage will open and give him access to the site once he has logged in with the correct username/pass. He really needs to be able to access the site via dreamweaver so im wondering if anyone can explain how FrontPage is able to get access and if this information can be used to get dreamweaver connecting.
i have a site where i am showing staff from an office using a repeater in dreamweaver (link : http://www.remaxfinance.com.au/managers.aspx).
i want to put a button that says more info under each staff, and i guess i need to make a page names managerprofile.aspx, but how do i add that link from the managers.aspx page to the managerprofile.aspx page and have the ?&id=something. how do i make this work?
