  1. Second level pages CSU Extension Webpage Template Session 6 March 2010

  2. Second level pages • A page inside a folder inside the root folder • Literally the 2nd level of the directory structure • Index.shtml is a 1st level page • Agri.shtml is a 2nd level page

  3. Sample Site Structure Home page (index.html) About Us Contact Us 1st level pages with little upkeep 4H Horticulture Agriculture Family/Consumer Master Gardener 2nd level pages requiring own folders

  4. Second level pages Each topic folder (e.g. agri) has a page already inside (e.g. agri.shtml) To create a new page, copy an existing second level page Code is different on a second level page than a first level page

  5. Code • Six lines of code are different on a second level page: • ../ is added to beginning of the “path” • “Backs up” a folder to root folder • Images: • <img src=“../images/header.jpg" width="804" height="130" usemap="#Map" /> • SSI: • <!--#include virtual="../_ssi_topnav.html" --> • <!--#include virtual="../_ssi_leftnav.html" --> • <!--#include virtual="../_ssi_footer.html" --> • CSS: • <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/general.css" media="screen" type="text/css" /> • <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/print.css" media="print" type="text/css" />

  6. Second level page content • Less concerned with micro-content • They’re here already • Primary purpose: present information • Create from scratch: text, images, links • Pre-existing documents • PDFs • Word • PowerPoint • Excel • Tabular data

  7. PDFs • Just link to it • PDF will open in a browser window • Doesn’t require the end-user to buy anything! • Another option: convert PDF to HTML • Need Adobe Acrobat • Save As type > .html • Save directly into root folder • Creates an images folder

  8. Word • Easiest to cut and paste into existing page • Also Save As Type > .html • Save directly into the root folder • Creates a folder for supporting files • Word code is SO bad, there’s a command for it • Commands>Clean Up Word HTML

  9. Powerpoint • Don’t convert it to .html • Doesn’t play well with Firefox (50% of your audience) • Huge file sizes • Best options: • Have end-user download (requires them to have PowerPoint) • Use Slideshare or Google docs to embed a slideshow (for Google docs, must be .ppt, not .pptx)

  10. Excel • Works well • Supports multiple worksheets • Save As Type > .html • Save directly into the root folder • Creates a folder for supporting files

  11. Tabular data • Can import Excel directly into a page • In Excel • Save As Type > .txt (tab delimited) • In Dreamweaver • Insert>Table Objects>Import Tabular data • Set cell padding, spacing, border, header formatting • Cleanup: • Select rows and columns by clicking just next to them, then hit delete • Select multiple cells and use the “merge” icon to merge them
