Hopefully am in the right group.
I have a familly website published with FrontgPage 2000.
I want to create a page with a form that would allow people in the family to
publish direct into the site family annoucement (mariag, birth etc...)
At the moment, they email info to me and I upload them myself.
The "add a file upload control to a form" in the help section seems to be
what I want.... but plain english would be more helpful!
Hope someone can help.

The Upload component which require that the remote server have the FP2002
extensions, and be allowed by your host, is only for uploading of files,
that you would then have to open your web to access them.

What you are looking at doing is more of a database type of application.

what Thomas said is correct.....as always. If you can run .asp pages there
is a great portal that would work for you right here:
http://aspportal.net I love the thing. You can unzip, open with FrontPage,
edit one file (two lines) and publish. It'll be running in 10 minutes.
Really "cool" for a family portal app too.

Hi,
I thought about what you're trying to do and this:
http://cmsimple.dk/ would probably be better. it's got a raw file upload
and it's a lot more simple and easy to use.

I've gotten this to behave nicely with FrontPage and if you need any tips or
my modified copy I'll be glad to give it to you. just contact me through
http://nedp.net/support since I don't do anything but delete the email that
comes into the box I use to post to the newsgroup.

Thanks.
I know that my host has FP2000 extensions.
But if I understand you well, For what I want to do I could use one of the
web templates (such has discussion, maybe), insert it inside my own web,
edit what is not relevent ..... or am I wrong... again!!!
Thanks again for your help..

You could do it w/ FP (and ASP and a lot of customization) but IMHP for something as simple as that just get a free MSDN Group Page
Site (which you can tailor just to family members)

Hi Antoine,

If your requirements are for a simple guestbook style, you can use a
form and have the results emailed (optional) and sent to a file that
anyone can view.

Create a page called results.html. Create another page and insert a
scrolling text box form. Tell users something like: "Please insert
your news into the form". In the form properties set the form to email
the results (optional) but set the File Name to something like
"results.html". Now set the confirmation page to results.html.

Family member enters comments and presses submit. They are taken to
the results page with the inserted comments. Give all family members
the results.html URL. All new entries are appended to other entries.
That's it at it's simplest.

Thanks!!! Just the kind of simple, step by step explanation I was after!!!!
(no disrespect to all the others who have tried to help as well, by the
way!).
Regards
 
Me again.... nearly there:
it works, except that when I look at the text that has been prpoerly
uploaded in "result.htm", the 2 test texts show as:
"test 1" "Submit" "test 2" "Submit"
Havde been in the form property and tried various permutations.... but
cannot get what I want. whoch would be something like:
* test 1
* test 2 etc....
Regards
 
frontpage 2000 doesn't support anything like that.

However frontpage 2002 does (as long as the server extensions required for this
feature are installed on your host/web server.

otherwise, thirdparty products are available that allow uploading of files via
the web site interface itself as you suggest.

A good starting place is
www.hotscripts.com and
www.javascript.com

but if you do a web search (google is best) you should find something to do what
you need.

Cheers,

Hi Antoine,

Ah, you want to get rid of the "submit" button field which by default
gets into the results. Go to Form Properties > Options > Saved Fields
and delete the last entry which is probably B1, the submit button.
Then press OK, rather then Save All.

Best regards,
Andre Rodziewicz
