VCommerce Round 2 developer's info

["Mette L Moffett" <mette@hawaii.edu>]

- The VCommerce web-site is now at http://vcommerce.hawaii.edu.

- The company directories are located in a subdirectory named R2. Due to
this change you need to change the path in your include statements as
follows.
Where it used to say:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="../include/filename" -->
It should now say:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="../../include/filename" -->

- The DSN "vcommerce" does not exist on the new server, so make sure you are
not using it in your files.

- Also make sure that you are not using references to alicia.ics.hawaii.edu
anywhere in your files. The best thing would be to use relative paths. For
example:
Instead of using an absolute path like <a
href="http://vcommerce.hawaii.edu/R2/Pizza/product.asp"> use a relative path
like <a href="product.asp">.

- FTP to vcommerce.hawaii.edu. Use the same accounts/passwords as before.
The new groups are R, S, T, U and V. You can request your password by
e-mailing me if you belong to one these groups. If you are in an existing
group and would like a new password for you FTP account, you should e-mail
me with a request.

- In your FTP directory, there is a folder named Share. This folder contains
all the company directories with read-only access.

- IMPORTANT note regarding the frame_script.html file and use of TARGET
attribute.
What the frame_script.html does is simply determining if a page was loaded
outside the vcommerce parent frame, which we don't want to happen. If the
page was loaded outside, the script will run and pull it into the vcommerce
frameset. Thus, the file would actually be loaded twice - once outside the
frame and once inside the frame. If you are using hashes you may also The
frame_script was actually not meant to be used to load your files into the
frameset. It is meant to be a safe guard to make sure that everything stays
within the frames. All your links should actually use target="MAIN" such
that the pages are automatically loaded into the main frame - in which case
the frame_script won't run at all. For example: <a href="product.asp"
target="MAIN">.
