CuteSITE BUILDER -CSB / Re: CSB STILL WORKS on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 - Mostly
« Last post by hidden on February 27, 2020, 05:27:29 PM »
I haven't done any web work for years, no equipment to do it and like you, life took me in a different direction.  Do you still travel? I'd love to see some pictures.

I was asked by an old CSB user if I could assist with moving his existing CSB website to a different host. Grabbing files from the host and moving them would not work (strange configuration). We needed to see if we could publish clean from CSB so I tried installing the program on my new computer. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised that the program actually works.  Thought a few other folks would like to know.

Ironically, the person who has been severely technology challenged for years has been teaching it. I teach people to use their own technology (smart phones, smart tvs, roku, firestick, tablets, computers, car systems, bluetooth, etc.)  Lets me play with all of the devices even though I haven't owned any of it.  :D   

Your RC models sound like fun and competition.  :D

I have been cleaning up other people's lives. I have lost too many people over the last few years, dealing with their estates, properties, bills, problems. Had some medical issues and challenges. Not fun. Not happy time in my life.  Slowly, I am working my way out of those problems and coming back into the sun. Feels like I am finally moving forward again.   :TUP:

I turned to making greeting cards to keep my sanity. Its my creative outlet.
It also allows me to get out and be with others that have same interests.  I belong to two groups. We teach techniques to each other, share tools, and encourage each other.  I use stamps, dies, watercolor, pencils, and other fun things to give people a smile.

Wow Sami, it certainly is great to hear that you are still alive and well. I am fine, thanks, doing OK. I don't do any website work any more. I am very occupied with remote control models: planes, trains, boats and cars. I am a member of a model engineering club where I can get involved in all those hobbies.

It is a real suprise, not only to hear from you, but that you have CSB working on Windows 10. Well done.

So your next task is to get Trellix working too! haha.

Let's keep in touch.

Rick

Yes. Surprise. 😁 Nice to see you Rick. How are you? I hope you are well.
 :wave:
Blue screens random shutdowns and loss of a ton of files I haven't had a working system with WiFi since 2016. I bought a Dell Windows 10 system at the end of 2015 and it died five months later. So finally I have a working computer!  :hapscream:

CuteSITE BUILDER -CSB / CSB STILL WORKS on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 - Mostly
« Last post by hidden on February 18, 2020, 05:20:38 AM »
CSB was discontinued in 2006.

In 2010 I tested a tlx design file in Windows 7.
In 2020 I tested the same file from a Windows 10 computer.

RESULTS:
14 years after the program was discontinued, IT STILL WORKS. TOTALLY AMAZING considering the huge changes to the internet in that time.

  • You must add a Temp folder to your C: drive
  • You must CHECK the box for HTML DIRECTORY for the PREVIEW process 
  • You must input a folder address into HTML DIRECTORY for the PREVIEW process 
  • PREVIEW will send a copy of the directory to your computer for review
  • You must UNCHECK the box for HTML DIRECTORY for editing and direct publishing to web 
  • If your host allows FTP transfer (non-secure) transfers you can still publish to your host.
  • If your host requires SFTP (secure transfers) you can use an FTP program to upload files
  • CON: The built in help files will not work. Microsoft will not allow windows 10 to use the old winhlp32.exe

READ MORE DETAILS HERE, on a page I published from CSB installed in Windows 10:

Another page I edited in Windows 10:
http://www.samisite.com/csb5demo_win7/index.htm

FTP & CSB: INFORMATION IS ON THESE TWO PAGES:
Quick to PREVIEW in your own computer and use FTP software to upload only the changed, new items (folders, images, webpages).
Just put the view in MODIFIED date order and the new items jump to the top.

General Discussion / Problem publishing CSB3 with Win7 32 bit now
« Last post by hidden on September 23, 2016, 10:01:20 PM »
Have been able to continue to publish CSB3 with Win 7 32 bit until just about a week ago.  Now we are getting all kinds of messages while working on CSB3.  Think some of the last Windows updates may be the problem.  Will have to go to recovery mode to go back in time as a fix for now.  Does anyone have a CSB5 that hasn't been activated and would sell it.  Our site is so large it would take a long time to rebuild with new software.

This kitty turned out to be a little boy.  He was named Biddy Boy by my mother and became her constant companion.

He is not as sweet or gentle as claimed originally. He has a bully streak and must be handled with care sometimes. I'm glad we had him. He made my mother smile most of the time.  He's now in my care.

CSB General Product Questions / Re: head section - another question
« Last post by hidden on July 18, 2016, 02:57:08 PM »
You can add code to the HEAD section in CSB 3 & 4 even though the program was not built to do it.  The instructions are on this page: http://www.samisite.com/publish/pageproperties.htm 

CSB3/4: Scroll down to the box that describes the AUTHOR FIELD used for meta tags.  This is the description posted on that page.  There is also a picture and other notes.  This method resolves the  " /> instead of "> problem.

THIS METHOD ONLY WORKS FOR THE AUTHOR FIELD AND WILL NOT WORK ON THE OTHER FIELDS SO YOU CAN ONLY INSERT EXTRA META TAGS ON THAT LINE!

1) CONTENT for your Author field.  I typed in Sam
You can leave the author blank if you want.
2) End the Author Meta tag.  Type ">
3) Now type or paste in your complete extra meta tags.  Here are the two I used on this page:
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
<META NAME="copyright" CONTENT="Samisite.com.  No part of this page can be duplicated without permission.">
4) After your LAST meta tag, remove the last   ">
from the field!  You can not have that last "> on the code because CSB/Trellix will add it to the code also.
5) Apply, OK   Then publish.

(Note CSB5 has a specific field to do this  http://www.samisite.com/csb5demo/pageprop.htm)
