That is basically how all these systems work.
Nathans real point was that the pages that are to be edited can be a folder structure unrelated to the site structure as the include can pull that page in from anywhere.
So you could have all Jimmy’s editable pages/sections in a Jimmy folder with a single log in for that folder.

Hi
I’ve been interested in this recently too. I have been looking at Joomla! and the action suite that can be purchased for Freeway.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Joomla is about as all encompassing a CMS as there is if you are willing to put in the time to learn it. Takes a good bit time to get to grips with all the possibilities as far as what piece of Joomla to include in your template and when it’s necessary or not.
Using Freeway for this purpose is not like doing a standard Freeway style layout since you really have to think about using inline div so that data can fill up the page without breaking it. RPL action could make this somewhat easier, but haven’t tried that yet.

Ok. I decided to give Pulse a go instead of Joomla as it seemed to be the simpler option. Problem is I do not know anything about coding - that’s why I use FW (I’m from a traditional design for print background).
The problem I’m have is where to start and finish the code extraction. I’m using text wrangler and the code looks nothing like the example given on the Pulse website. e.g.
Hi and welcome to issue to of the Creative Line newsletter. It seems that more and more of our work is becoming web based. This is great for us but don’t forget the power of a glossy brochure put into someones hand.
If you would prefer not to receive this newsletter please click here and type unsubscribe in the subject field.
Also, if you later update the FW doc and upload won’t that overwrite everything done in Pulse?

Hi Kevin,
What you want to do is consider what areas of your page you want to be able to edit. This could be a news section, a sidebar, or a navigation section or all three areas. Open your Freeway generated HTML page up in Text Wrangler and locate the areas you want to add to Pulse.
In your example you may want to replace the table cell with a Pulse block. To do this cut the following code from the HTML document and create a new block in Pulse.
<p class="style154"><span class="style51">Hi and welcome to issue to of the Creative Line newsletter. It seems that more and more of our work is becoming web based. This is great for us but don't forget the power of a glossy brochure put into someones hand.</span></p>
<p class="style154 f-lp"><span class="style225">If you would prefer not to receive this newsletter please click </span><a href="mailto:creativeline@creativeline.co.uk"><span class="style236">here</span></a><span class="style225"> and type unsubscribe in the subject field.</span></p>
Click on the source code button in the Pulse editor and paste the HTML code in the box. Save the block and copy the PHP link to the block.
Back in Text Wrangler paste this PHP code into the table cell where you cut the HTML from.
For example;
<td height=87 colspan=2><?php include("/home5/pulsecms/public_html/demo/data/blocks/Events.html"); ?></td>
Save the HTML page and change the file extension to .php and you should be set. If you now upload this file to your server you should be able to edit the table cell content in Pulse.
You may want to do some of this in Freeway so that you don’t need to do this each time the site is updated.
Change the file extensions of pages that you think you will want to update to .php (or the whole site if you like) in the Inspector palette.
Once you’ve created your block in Pulse you can remove the table cell content in Freeway and replace this with a standard markup item (Insert/ Markup Item) with the Pulse embed code. Now if you update the page layout in Freeway it should all just work as expected.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Tim.

Tim that’s brilliant. The bit I didn’t know was that the file extensions need changing, and where to cut the code from.
Problem I’m having now is that when I place the code in the markup item and reload I lose the formatting (it reverts to Times).
Also when I change the extension to php in FW I can no longer preview the page, it just shows code - is this normal?

OK. Answered my own question on the markup item issue. Download the full version of CKeditor, follow instructions on Pulse website, and it seems to have cured that problem.
Would be nice to preview the page before uploading though.

Hi Kevin,
Both Safari and Freeway’s own preview unfortunately can’t display php pages. It is a real shame as they used to be able to but then something got updated in Webkit (the engine that both use to render pages) and it stopped working. I would suggest either previewing your pages on the server (upload and then preview) or change the file extensions back to .html and set your server to process these pages for PHP as if they were .php pages.
Here’s how;

I hope this helps.

Thanks Tim
I just tried previewing using Opera and that works - thanks for the heads up on that one. I’ll also check out the other option you offered to see which is preferable.
