| Copying topics | Sunday, March 04, 2007, 6:14 PM
To create a blog archive of my growing blog I had to do the following:
- terminate TOWeb,
- make a backup of my TOWeb folder containing my website info (My Documents\TOWeb Sites),
- copied the blog folder located in My Documents\TOWeb Sites\default\Data,
- renamed the folder to a new name, containing no spaces and no symbols (blog2006 does fine),
- restarted TOWeb and
- finally removed the 2006 entries in the current blog and removed the 2007 entries in the blog2006 archive topic.
Took me 5 minutes. |
| Smilies even simpler | Monday, May 15, 2006, 9:51 PM
You don't need to upload the smilies to your web host into some protected directory. It's much easier!
- add a new script field (for HTML) with a content like this:
<img src="wink.gif">
- click on the Tab "Additional script files"
- add the image file of your smilie or emoticon (in this case named "wink.gif" and located somewhere on your hard drive)
- where ever you want to have a smilie in your text add the appropriate script field.
- that's it.
- Party time again
 - Oh, and this one even works in the preview of TOWeb. How cool is that

| Smilies or Emoticons | Saturday, May 13, 2006, 11:43 PM
I wanted to have smilies on my webpages.
So here is the way to get them:
- load some smilies from the web (for example go here http://mazeguy.net/smilies.html.
- store them on your local disk (right click on the image, save as...)
- start winscp or Filezilla or your favorite ftp tool to transfer the images to your web host. Store them in some folder like /smilies.
- protect this remote folder on your web host from being deleted by TOWeb and make it a special folder (see the online help of TOWeb how to do this).
- add a new script field (for HTML) with a content like this:
<img src="/smilies/wink.gif">
- where ever you want to have a smilie in your text add the appropriate script field.
- that's it.
- Party time!
Unfortunately you can't see them on the preview page of TOWeb - but hey, you can't have everything, right?

| Code blocks | Saturday, May 13, 2006, 11:49 PM
As you may have seen in the tutorials I am able to create code blocks with different formating and background color.
This is pretty easy to achieve. You just need two HTML script fields.
One named CODE_BEGIN or whatever you prefer with the following content:
<p style="background-color:#D0D0D0; padding:6px; margin:0px;"><font face="courier">
This starts the code block.
The second one named CODE_END looks like this:
</font></p>
It's sooo easy, you just need to know it  |
| No interpretation of TOWeb's special characters | Saturday, May 13, 2006, 11:52 PM
Sometimes you want to have paragraphs where lines must start with a '/' or a '#' or a '-' or whatever. So you simply want to tell TOWeb to completely ignore all special formatting characters for this paragraph.
Again you need a script field (name it NO_WIKI) with the following content:
< nowiki >
Remove the blanks between the word "nowiki" and the less than and greater than symbols.
Your script field must be placed at the beginning of the paragraph to switch off all interpretations of special characters. |
