How Use HTML Coding Procedures to Delete from
Contribute 3 Publications
Instructions Provided by Bill Biersdorf
May 4, 2005
There may be occasions were it is not practical or possible to delete a file or text from
a Contribute 3 publication. For example, FLASH audio files are embedded in a web page such that they may be impossible to visualize or locate with Contribute 3.
-
First-time users, create an editing folder
1. Close all programs and start at the desktop.
2. Open the new “Desktop ” folder.
3. Create a folder called “RSD Site Edits”
1. Launch (double click on the icon for) Internet Explorer
2. Enter the FTP URL in the address bar.
ftp://204.200.194.184/webroot/ -- for live site
3. Click on “Go”.
4. When asked, enter the User ID (rsdfou) and password (See password highlighted in blue at top of Website Blueprint for new password at Foundation's server). (Do not check the “Login Anonymously” box.)
5. Click on “Login”.
NOTE:
- For future convenience, enter the above URL in Internet Explorer Favorites after you have logged in. Then right click to send an icon to desktop. Now you can go directly to html pages for editing purposes from desktop without having to enter username and password in the future.
- For subsequent Users, here is the short cut:
Here is how the garbage at the top of the French INDEX page on 5/4/05 was removed. Basically, I deleted deleting the entire code associated with the garbage at the top of the French INDEX page.
- Look for “index.html” and then copy and paste two duplicates of these file to the desktop. Label one “indexDoNotDelete.html” – which will be a backup copy if something goes wrong.
- Now right click on “index.html” on the desktop and select “EditPlus” and the entire CONTRUTE 3 File and folders will appear. {NOTE: EditPlus Version 2.0 is a separate software that I purchased off the Internet for $30. This software provides the editing tools necessary to edit a webpage in HTML}.
- If present, click “No” to reload.
- In order to delete the entire HTML code for the date at the top INDEX page, you need to delete everything between “<script….” and “</script…..” inclusive of " <script…. through..... </script"
- Go to “File” on this same FTP page and click “Save”
- Now copy and paste “index.html” from desktop to anywhere on the FPT page. Note that “index.html” is now a slightly smaller file than the current one on the Internet. The current “index.html” file will be overwritten on the website as soon as you click “Yes”. Note: You always have “indexDoNotDelete.html” if something goes wrong.
NOTE 3: To delete a FLASH audio file, the process is very similar:
Go to FTP page and select “search” then “find” and enter “object”, which will direct you to all FLASH files .
- In order to delete the entire HTML code for the FLASH audio file, you need to delete everything between “<object….” and “</object…..”
- After deletion, go to “File” on FTP page and click “Save”
- Now copy and paste the revised“index.html” file from desktop to anywhere on the FPT page and the “index.html” file will be overwritten as soon as you click “Yes”. Note: You always have “indexDoNotDelete.html” if something goes wrong.
Here is a graphic representation of the process for deleting a FLASH audio file named "windchime_flourish.swf":
The FLASH audio file "windchime_Flourish" was deleted and then re-inserted. Below is how the HTML paged looked after the re-insertion. Note that the re-stallation looks the same , but the beginning of the FLASH file "windchime_flourish.swf"is preceded by a small change in the text.
