Why does Konductor force me to use WebDAV instead of FTP?</p> <p>Well first off, WebDAV goes over HTTP (and thus port 80) and is sometimes better for getting through an aggressive corporate firewall. </p> <p>But I feel that webdav.org answered it best:</p> <p>------</p> <p>Since DAV works over HTTP, you get all the benefits of HTTP that FTP cannot provide. For example: strong authentication, encryption, proxy support, and caching. It is true that you can get some of this through SSH, but the HTTP infrastructure is much more widely deployed than SSH. Further, SSH does not have the wide complement of tools, development libraries, and applications that HTTP does.</p> <p>DAV transfers (well, HTTP transfers) are also more efficient than FTP. You can pipeline multiple transfers through a single TCP connection, whereas FTP requires a new connection for each file transferred (plus the control connection).</p> <p>------</p> <p>Ultimately, they both are used to provide functionality - transferring files - but WebDAV is no doubt more flexible and secure. </p> http://forums.konductor.net/topic.php?id=1022#post-1240 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:34:15 +0000 Cameron Fisk 1240@http://forums.konductor.net/ <p>Hi SmartK,</p> <p>Lots of questions from you, hope our answers are of some help. :)</p> <p>To put your sites like you'll want to log in to your web account here: <a href="https://konductor.net/login" rel="nofollow">https://konductor.net/login</a>.</p> <p>Once you're in, find the site you want to put live under the main 'Sites' tab and click 'Go Live'.

You of course could copy the templates on the Dreamweaver side and then use those for another site.</p> <p>Konductor pages are obviously delivered to the browser through HTTP, so all you need to do from there to back them up in full is save these pages from that browser. Currently Konductor doesn't have an internal versioning system though.</p> <p>Hopefully that helps. :) </p> http://forums.konductor.net/topic.php?id=1008#post-1215 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 05:24:24 +0000 filigree 1215@http://forums.konductor.net/ <p>I created a complicated set of menu items for a stage site, and want to know how I can now move those menu items from one site to another, so I don't have to, again, recreate the pages I created from templates.<br /> ALSO: how can I back-up the pages that I create in each site, so that if I overwrite one that I can regress to an earlier version? </p> http://forums.konductor.net/topic.php?id=996#post-1209 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:35:00 +0000 Cameron Fisk 1209@http://forums.konductor.net/ <p>Hi Bonucci,</p> <p>First, make sure that you've got the correct extension from here: <a href="http://www.konductor.net/exchange.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.konductor.net/exchange.htm</a></p> <p>Also, make sure that you're installing it through the CS5 version of the Abode Extension Manager if you're running Dreamweaver CS5.

You're exactly right as to how the divs work. You set the divs you want to be editable in Dw and then upload those templates. Those divs are then editable by your client within the Konductor application that they download.</p> <p>2. Konductor works through an extension for Dreamweaver that sets up all the information that you'll need for you site both locally and on our servers. It doesn't mess with the code that you create, rather it takes care of the administrative tasks involved with setting up a site; essentially making your life easier.</p> <p>I think you'll find our tutorial videos very helpful with this as well.

Konductor offers the ability to manage and edit the main features that most people want and need in a site that involves the main HTML of a site. By this I mean we offer full content, page, image, form and menu management, but we leave the other "modules or components" up to you.</p> <p>With Konductor we wanted to do one thing right - content management, and then allow you to add anything you want on top of that. Because of the way the web works now, we decided to leave things like image galleries, videos, and online stores, etc., to services that already do an awesome job at them (like Flickr, YouTube, or in the case of online stores, ProStores, Yahoo Small Business or Amazon Stores). We would not be able to do nearly as good of a job with those types of services without distracting ourselves from offering an extremely useable CMS, so we let you use whatever you want with us! If it works in an HTML page it will work with Konductor.</p> <p>We have also been working on some documentation on integration with these services (we have a Flickr one ready to snap in here - <a href="http://help.konductor.net/extension/en_US/1.0/image-galleries-with-flickr.html)" rel="nofollow">http://help.konductor.net/extension/en_US/1.0/image-galleries-with-flickr.html)</a>. This model allows you to have access to the best services without having to do a bunch of extra coding.</p> <p>2. I think the previous answer may have answered this as well, but just so you know, we also have a fully documented REST API that you can tie into with other services if you like.</p> <p>To develop your site, you'll only need to use the code that's included and referenced in a Dreamweaver template; typically not much more than HTML and CSS.</p> <p>3. For editing a Konductor site, the user will get to use a free desktop application. The reason for this is that we would not be able offer certain features as easily, such as true WYSIWYG editing and image editing, if it was solely browser based. As I mentioned earlier, full page management is available, including editing, creating and deleting.</p> <p>Hopefully that answered some of your questions. </p> http://forums.konductor.net/topic.php?id=997#post-1204 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 20:20:37 +0000 Cameron Fisk 1204@http://forums.konductor.net/ <p>Hi Greggy,</p> <p>To delete a site you'll want to do it through the Dreamweaver extension. In Dreamweaver go to Site &gt; Manage Konductor Sites... then log in with your designer username and password. From your list of sites that will appear you can select one and then in the properties panel at the bottom of that window you can choose 'Delete Site...'</p> <p>Hopefully that helps. :) </p> http://forums.konductor.net/topic.php?id=1002#post-1203 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 04:12:33 +0000 Rick 1203@http://forums.konductor.net/ <p>I am having problems with configuring my remote connection in Dreamweaver.

Yes, you can do this but there are a few ways to - and if you refer to #4 of the list below it will expand a bit on additional functionality beyond CMS only. In short, yes, the long answer depends on what you want to do with them once logged in.</p> <p>2. Yes, see 'Creating forms': <a href="http://help.konductor.net/application/en_US/1.0/creating-forms.html?2.5" rel="nofollow">http://help.konductor.net/application/en_US/1.0/creating-forms.html?2.5</a></p> <p>3. Currently every editor has access, through the Konductor application, to all regions that are defined as editable by the designer. You can define roles as well with privileges. </p> <p>4. With Konductor we wanted to do one thing right - basic content management, and then allow you to add anything you want on top of that. Because of the way the web works now, we decided to leave things like image galleries, videos, and online stores, etc., to the services that already do an awesome job at them (like Flickr, YouTube, or in the case of online stores, ProStores, Yahoo Small Business or Amazon Stores), and then let you include their code in your templates on Konductor. We would not be able to do nearly as good of a job with those types of services without distracting ourselves from offering an extremely useable CMS, so we let you use whatever you want with us!</p> <p>We have been working on some documentation for integrating with these services; we have a Flickr one ready to snap in here - <a href="http://help.konductor.net/extension/en_US/1.0/image-galleries-with-flickr.html" rel="nofollow">http://help.konductor.net/extension/en_US/1.0/image-galleries-with-flickr.html</a>. This allows you to have access to the best services without having to do a bunch of extra coding.</p> <p>5 (I added the 5). No, Konductor doesn't change any of the styles that you associate; it will inherit any CSS that you define and reference well. For a nice example of good practice with CSS and how Konductor can best work with it, see the included template when you create an example site within Dreamweaver (Site &gt; New Konductor Site &gt; Example Site...). I think what might be happening, is that you are choosing "horizontal" or "vertical" predefined menus in the Konductor Dreamweaver Extension and that if you already have your CSS defined, you should be using the "custom" option.</p> <p>I hope that answers your questions. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with or if you need some more technical answers. :) </p> http://forums.konductor.net/topic.php?id=912#post-1107 Wed, 05 May 2010 19:52:17 +0000 bigfish_design 1107@http://forums.konductor.net/ <p>I am interested in using the Konductor app to develop a CMS site for a client.</p> <p>Can a Konductor site support:</p> <p>1) User Registration and password/log-in for clients and guest?<br /> 2) Database support for collecting data and sending on to clients via e-mail?<br /> 3) Multi-Level Access to site for Administrators/Clients for CMS?<br /> 4) Use of 3rd Party Shopping Cart and other tools such as offered by Super Suite™ by WebAssist?</p> <p>Also, with what I have tested so far, does the menu builder override the styles associated in my templates CSS sheet?<br /> None on the CSS styles seem to show up for the content area as well.</p> <p>Thank you for your help.</p> <p>Doug </p>
