4D Bundles Products with Adobe GoLive 5.0 to Offer Complete Dynamic Web
Server Solutions
4D SA, publishers of the 4th Dimension RAD/RDBMS Environment and WebSTAR
Server Suite, announced today that it has bundled Adobe GoLive(tm) 5.0
software with several of its products to provide complete Web Server
Solutions which will enable the integration of dynamic database content
into HTML pages created with Adobe GoLive 5.0. The products bundled with
GoLive 5.0 are 4D Developer Edition, 4D Server Standard, and 4D Server
Developer Editions along with a new product called 4D Web Edition.
Since 4D version 6.7 has so many new and improved Web features, an
increasing number of 4D developers are using a combination of HTML editors
and 4D as a Web server. 4D version 6.7.1 includes a plug-in for GoLive 5.0
called 4D Extend Script, which facilitates the setting-up of HTML tags
inside GoLive 5.0. The plug-in installs a new '4D tab' in the Inspector
palette giving to the developer or Web designer the ability to drag and
drop the desired 4D tags without entering the HTML code.
4D Web Edition is a brand new solution containing the development and
design tools for the Web developer. This package contains 4D Standard
Edition, Adobe GoLive 5.0 software and a 4D Web Extension license for
complete access to a 4D database through a Web browser. The included 4D Web
Extension license is for development use only.
"This package integrates the rich web design and maintenance capability of
GoLive 5.0 with a powerful database," said Michael Hopwood, senior director
of product management and product marketing for Adobe. "This gives
businesses the ability to design their Web sites using Adobe GoLive and to
directly integrate data from the 4D database back-end for dynamic
integration on the web."
"4D is excited to be able to offer 4D developers the integration with Adobe
GoLive 5.0. The addition of 4D Extend Script for GoLive 5.0 provides 4D
developers a quick and easy way to access their 4D databases from the web.
This is an excellent feature for 4D developers and businesses alike,
because it capitalizes on 4D v6.7's ability to separate the database
development from the actual Web design, allowing new levels of flexibility
in designing the Web interface," said Brendan Coveney, president and CEO,
4D, Inc.
