RE: Getting started in DreamWeaver

[David Durr]

Felicity,   The changes we made include some original graphics and text particular to our site, so I’m not sure that the code as a whole would be helpful.   I will ask my student to send you a description of the changes he made.  I haven’t looked at the code in a long time, but as I recall, he replaced the absolute urls with a variable that can be set in an include file so that all of the urls do not have to be changed by hand.  He also created a variable to set the cookie value.   I know he wrote a form that allows a student to submit the quiz results without depending on the cookie or session variable (I don’t know which one TILT uses) that seems to cause problems with the quiz module.  This is a simple, but reliable way of getting quiz results to an instructor.   He should be in tomorrow.  I’ll try to get him to contact you ASAP.    From: owner-[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Hanson, Felicity Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 7:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Getting started in DreamWeaver   Thank you so much to those who responded to my request for help. Kitty and Melba, your replies gave me new hope! David, I would be most grateful if you make available the code that your student wrote. I’d prefer to have the program in its entirety if I possibly can.   Felicity     Felicity Hanson Librarian, Professional Development Library Edina Public Schools Edina, MN 55424   (952) 848-4988     From: Mackey, Kitty [mailto:owner-[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mackey, Kitty Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 11:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Getting started in DreamWeaver   Hi Felicity,   Don't give up hope! Two years ago we adapted all the TILT modules, and just took out the parts that require php and MySQL. (At the time neither our server nor my brain supported php). There were only three of us to do the work (in our "spare time"), no tech support. All we knew was HTML and a smattering of _javascript_. We were hand-coding in text files when we started, but we've since imported everything into Dreamweaver -- which we just love! You can take a look at our revised modules at www.clark.edu/Library - select TILT from the left bar.   The biggest thing we lost by going "simple" was the ability to keep a database of students -- students just go through the modules and turn in a printout of the quiz. Even as-is, it's proven to be so popular that I'm learning php and MySQL so I can eventually add re-enhancements.   We were fortunate in that we were able to meet with another librarian who (with tech support) had adapted the full TILT -- she was able to let us know what we would NOT be able to use without php and MySql. I don't have any documentation, though.   Good luck!   Kitty Mackey Reference & Instruction Librarian Cannell Library, Clark College Vancouver WA   From: owner-[EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Hanson, Felicity Sent: Tue 6/29/2004   10:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Getting started in
