Posting a web page

Post by jsburnett » Fri Apr 01, 2011 2:42 pm

I have a question that probable has been answered before, but I'll ask anyway.

I have made a simple stack and saved it as a standalone.

How do I now get it to function on a website such as Google Sites and not display "Test Page ...."

I have saved my stack as a Web page. But am not sure how to 'save' it to Google Sites.

Thanks in advance.

Hi JS,

OK, you reated a revlet.
Now you can need to edit the HTML document that is in the same folder as the revlet!
You need a simple text editor to do this.

To get rid of the "Test page..." titel of that html page, you need to edit this.
Check for the line containing, must be in the upper part of the page:
...
<title>Test page...</title>
...
And change the string as needed.

You can also change the filename of that HTML file, if you like.
Then you need to upload both revlet and HTML file to your webspace, wherever this may be.
Sorry, no idea of GOOGLE sites...


Best

Klaus

Hi,

Is there a free hosting site that you would recommend that makes uploading the html and revlet files 'easy'. I can't seem to figure out how to do so on google sites.
Is it expensive to use rev hosting?
Thanks again.

I'm using google sites as well, couldn't find a way to embed a revlet, and am not ready to pay for a site. I happened to stumble people talking about using dropbox to host a webpage, though, and it works for me (though it's far from ideal). I just put the revlet and page in a public folder and link to the dropbox page from my google sites page. (This probably won't be appropriate if you expect a lot of traffic to your revlet.)

Here's a video that might help (skip the first two minutes if you're generally familiar with dropbox): http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xef929 ... -page_tech.

Now, with this out there, I can't resist a shameless referral plug (ripe for deleting if deemed inappropriate by the moderators): If you want to try this, but don't have dropbox, feel free to use this link to sign up, and we'll both get additional free space: http://db.tt/tbZlAAh
