Can I convert a webpage created with Dreamweaver to Webmatrix project? - mysql

Database of the website was created in WAMP (phpMyAdmin) and I need the database and the webpage in Webmatrix. Is there a possible solution or I need to re-write the webpage all over again?
I wouldn't do this, but I have to do it for my school project, because the teacher won't accept the web site in Dreamweaver.


Unless you are using DW templates then your teacher wouldn't know if you used DW or a text editor to create your site.
If you are using templates then these can be removed before submitting your work. From the menu select Modify -> templates -> Remove template markup
You might want to backup your files before doing this.

Schedule a webpage update with Dreamweaver

I maintain a website for a resort and need to update the activities daily. Some days activities go later than I am at work.
Is there a way to automatically publish a page in Dreamweaver at a certain time? I am currently using Dreamweaver CS 5.5

There's no way to do this with Dreamweaver. You could use another FTP client, like Core FTP and then schedule an upload.

There may be other FTP clients that can do this, too.

User backend interface in Joomla?

I am wondering if there is any user back-end manager in Joomla.
I have developed a website and the homepage need to be updated time to time. What my client want is to update it by himself. But I have used a little more HTML tags and he doesn't know about HTML. So is there by chance a non professional user interface so that he can update homepage without knowing the HTML. Or any alternative if possible.

Your client can use the Joomla back-end, depending on the version here is some tutorials :
Joomla 2.5
Joomla 3

copy sharepoint intranet site

I am about to create a custom sharepoint layout for a client, to make it look like their company page.
I don't have any experience in sharepoint whatsoever, so this is going to be a challenge, but that's how you learn.
A question on this; Can the client copy their entire sharepoint site, send it to me and then I can use it on my local sharepoint installation, create the new layout and send the new layout back to them?

Backup/Restore a site collection is your answer.

Wordpress theme editing

Well, I am a newbie with Wordpress.
I just got a free wordpress theme. I want to edit the pages to my customization. I have a shared host which provides MySQL database.
Can I edit this wordpress theme to connect to this MySQL database and pull/push data in to my database?
Is the whole process similar to working with normal php and MySQL? Whats so much difference with the set of php's being a Wordpress theme?
Thanks

Themes are just a bunch of php files which get executed in response to some particular event (basically when a particular kind of page nees to be rendered). You can do whatever you want in them, but everything which is not meant to be "aestethic" should probably be developed in a separate set of custom plugins. You then call those from your theme.

Once you have wordpress installed with the hosting provider and the database connection between the WP installation and the hosting provider MySQL database you can edit your theme through WP itself.
Make sure you set the permissions on the WP-Templates (I think thats what it is called) folder to read/write so that wordpress can write to the template files.
View the following link for any help editing the template. How to edit a WP Template

The theme is just the interfacce of your system, on your theme you only show the data, you need to run a select for instance in the apropriate part, also for the bussines logic.
If you do in the interface, in time your system will mess up.
In the official documentation have plenty of examples and How to's,..

The short answer - there are a number of different templates for the index, search, archive, page and article views of a Wordpress theme. Some themes don't include all of them - certain templates are the default for the other optional templates. You can edit them with software like Dreamweaver or a text editor of you choice, or you can alter them from the Wordpress admin panel.
Wordpress themes are a little too complicated to explain in one simple answer, but I can recommend a tutorial. It's a little dated, but it will explain the overall ideas and it's quite good.
Here's another - I've not read it over but it looks to be well done: http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-themes-templates-tutorial/

A theme is a collection of PHP files along with related files (CSS, JavaScript, images, etc.) that control the appearance of the WordPress site. The content (posts, pages, comments, options, plugin configuration, etc.) of the blog is stored in the database. Any themes on the site are thus separate from the content.
Themes can normally be edited directly from the WordPress admin console. Click on "Appearance" and then on "Editor". You can then edit any of the current theme's files from there. Useful for tweaking things if you know what you're doing, but dangerous in some ways because there's no easy way to undo your changes. Do a backup of your theme before noodling with it.
