Okay, now that I’ve played around with WebYep I want to try Pulse. How is Pulse code integrated into a Freeway Pro PHP page?

Is there a good thread that covers this? I’m using WebYep for one site, but I want to try Pulse for another.

It is as simple as Insert>Markup Item and paste in the code generated via Pulse
Read the blurb on the pulsecms.com site and download the files.

Wow. That is easy.

Very very easy.
Once you have the files downloaded from Pulse, upload the pulse folder to your server. From your browser navigate to your site finished with /pulsepro or /pulse if using free version (ie.www.xyzabc.co.xx/pulse) This will take you to the login page and the start password is demo (if I recall correctly), go to the settings and change any details here, especially requiredif you have placed pulse in a sub folder. You then create the ‘Blocks’ you need and copy the created imbedded code to paste into a Markup or Crowbar. Uploaded page and the rest is easy to follow.
But as David said check what it says on the Pulse website.
Walter suggested using the insert>Crowbar action rather than Markup but either works. There are lots of threads on Pulse.

If you are doing an in-line style layout, using the Crowbar action is the better choice for this.

What is an in-line style layout?

If you do Insert / Markup Item at the page level, then that will work without any issue at all. You will generate a 100px square box, place that on the page where you want, and the code will be placed within a DIV. But if you do an inline (flashing text cursor / Insert / Markup Item) then you will end up with a P tag wrapped around whatever element Pulse generates.
<p>
<div>
Pulse content here
</div>

And that’s definitely not okay. That’s what CrowBar was invented for.

Walter, how did you learn all of this stuff? Are you a computer sciences major or something? I cannot believe how well versed you are in all of this technology.
In fact, I don’t think there’s been one single question that I posted that you haven’t been able to answer. As always, I really appreciate all of your help and support.
Do you think it would be helpful for me to learn a little bit more about coding? If so, what books or resources would you recommend?
Have a great weekend!

I’ve been at this since 1997 (Freeway, that is, Web stuff since 1994), and making mistakes the whole time. That’s the best school I’ve ever found.
I have one university CS course to my name – in BASIC, no less (the “kiddie” language that they use to teach grade-school students how to program). All the rest has been on-the-job training. My degree is in Advertising Photography, and I’ve had a lot of other careers along the way to here. I started programming in earnest in the late 90’s, because I was frustrated with the programmers I had access to at work. I was spoiled by Freeway to have pretty much anything I wanted, and the kinds of sites I was building then needed programming for form handling and CMS functionality, and I couldn’t wait for others to help me. The first steps were very steep, but it got easier as I went.
My new favorite book for beginners is Learn to Program by Chris Pine. (Pragmatic Programmers, 2nd edition.) I bought it for my daughters this Christmas, and I’ve enjoyed it quite a lot myself. It’s written in Ruby, which is a very nice and friendly language, and avoids the ugliness that is procedural programming in a language like PHP, which has had object-oriented programming tacked on to its procedural core. Of course, what really sold me was the “99 bottles of beer on the wall” example in the second chapter – I had actually written that program a year earlier while teaching my middle girl the basics of loops. I’ll put it on Gist if you’re curious.
Another, probably more practical in terms of just getting things done now, is PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson. (Sams, I have 2nd edition, it’s probably quite a few more since I bought it.) That will start you off at nothing, and take you into building a quite advanced site in easy, measured steps. PHP is possibly the most popular programming language for the Web, and MySQL is far and away the most popular database, so learning these will give you an entree to building (or modifying someone else’s) dynamic sites.
But I’d still pick Ruby if I had to do it all again, and I wouldn’t have so much un-learning to do now.
