School setting

how to manage various students web page projects into one site?

RE: School setting

Hi Lois,

The are two good ways to do this:

1) You could create a folder for each student i.e.

www.mysite.com/name
you could even break this down into year group or class i.e.
www.mysite.com/year/name 
or
www.mysite.com/year/class/name


2) You could create a sub domain for each student i.e.
http://myname.mysite.com


Hope this helps
David

RE: School setting

Hi Lois,

There are a few things you can do here.

If you don't mind all the students sharing the same FTP log-in details, you can set up one FTP account (eg. 'student') and give them read/write access to a directory on your web server (Eg. www.yourdomain.com/students)

You could also have a different folder per student. eg. www.yourdomain.com/fred or www.yourdomain.com/student/fred - and still have the one FTP log-in. The only down-side would be that the students would be able to delete each others' files or store their own files into each others' directories.

The other thing you could do is set up subdomains, and have a separate FTP log-in for each student. This would take more time to manage. (Eg. studentname.yourdomain.com)

If you're unsure about subdomains, talk to your web site administrator. Depending on your hosting, there may be a charge for each subdomain you have. Others allow you to have unlimited subdomains.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

Xhtml vs html

When using dreamwear template or just creating a blank webpage, you are able to select the markup language you want to use. The main choices are either xhtml or html. It is now best to select xhtml as this will translate all the html into xml, so it is transmitted across the web in xml format. One of the main advantages of this is that it makes the site that you build much more compatible with the range of different web browsers that exist.
