UPOINT:: Remote Web Publisher:: Tag Pairs


| services | features | plans | 1-minute tutorial | faq |

To make a section in your web page editable by RWP, master user must define the section using a UPOINT tag pair. There are 4 + 1 types of tag pairs and an unlimited number of tag combination can be used. These tag pairs are actually standard HTML comment tags. They are ignored by browsers and will not interfere with your existing HTML codes, Javascripts and so on.

Note: The gray italic text  below are only for demo purposes. When you first define the editable sections, the gray text might or might not be there. If they are not, then such lines will be inserted by the scripts during content updating. Please visit RWP FAQ to get the codes for a sample page.

Please see the 1-minute quick tutorial.

  • Area Textbox:
    <!-- upoint type="textbox" name="Section 1" rows=10 -->
    Your text content goes here.
    <!-- /upoint -->

    To ease identification, you should use something meaningful for "name" above. Some good examples are "Main Content", "Company History" and "Company Address". "rows" is the number of rows of the area text input box.
    .
  • URL Link:
     <!-- upoint type="link" name="Link 1" -->
    <a href="http://www.upoint.net">Back to Homepage</a>
     <!-- /upoint -->
    .
  • Email Link:
     <!-- upoint type="email" name="Email 1" -->
    <a href="../contact.updn">Contact Us</a>
     <!-- /upoint -->
    .
  • Image:
     <!-- upoint type="imageURL" name="Image 1" -->
    <img src="monica1.gif" align="left">
     <!-- /upoint -->
    .
    If only the filename is specified in the image tag, then the default image directory will be attached automatically. To use an image outside the default image directory, specify the full image URL starting with http://. You may choose the image alignment from a drop-down menu (default, left, center or right). Depending on where the image is located, sometimes the alignment setting may not affect the positioning of the image. This is because other HTML codes may overrule it. Note that it is not a bug of RWP. Also, "border=n" within the IMG SRC tag is not supported.

 Lastly, there is one special single tag:

  • View:
     <!-- upoint type="pageURL" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.htm" -->

    This tag MUST be placed at the beginning of EVERY PAGE preferably before the <HTML> code. This tells RWP where to look for the page when "view" is clicked. Note that this tag has no closing tag and that there can only be ONE view tag per page.
