Webmasters have long been demanding a HTML Editor with advanced
website management facilities. HotDog Pro 6 plugs the gap with
full-featured website management tools that make creating and
maintaining large websites both fun and easy.
Websites are collections of HTML documents. Using HotDog to create a
website on your local computer means that when it comes time to
upload to the Internet, one click is all it will take to transfer all
your documents. Using the Websites manager greatly reduces the amount
of organization required to get you up and running on the Internet.
Keeping all your HTML and associated files together can be difficult.
Using the HotDog Websites manager is an easy way to group files
(belonging to a particular website) together. When you upload a
website to the Internet, all the files in that website are uploaded
along with it.
By using the Website Wizard, you can quickly and easily define your
own websites. With no proprietary web servers necessary, you can use
HotDog Pro to define any file structure as a website and perform
site-wide editing functions on all of those files. When you upload a
website to the Internet, all files in that website are uploaded along
with it.
HotDog now caters to the needs of designers of very large websites.
HotDog Websites supports a complete multi-user environment with
complete file locking and task management facilities. The new
implementation of Tasks
allows a website to be designed coherently by coordinating the work
of many people. All site changes are updated on the fly on all users'
machines in a networked environment. All basic functionality required
of multi-user support has been included. For example, HotDog Pro will
detect two users trying to edit the same file at once and will send a warning.
The true versatility of HotDog websites is that they don't tie you
down to any system or program. Any group of HTML documents can be
made into a HotDog website and can be used and edited by other
software. While using HotDog websites you gain the benefits of many features.
The Websites Manager resource panel includes:
the ability to define all website properties and preferences;
a powerful file management interface, making it possible to create,
add, remove and edit website files within a single view;
preserved document states (that is, any bookmarks and collapsed text
you create are remembered);
a multi-user interface that allows teams of webmasters, working on a
local network, to define their website on a shared network drive;
the ability to assign and schedule tasks for project management
purposes (a task is a formal note that is attached to a document in a
website - it contains information about the nature of the task to be
completed, due dates, etc.);
an internal website browser, allowing you to view and navigate your
website as it will appear on the internet, as well as add tasks to
any pages that need work;
the ability to perform website-wide replace procedures on text,
document properties (BODY tags) and document information (META tags);
style-sheet integration;
an error-checker to verify and edit all links and resources used in
your website (entire sites can be checked for broken links and errors
corrected across many pages with one action, and external resources,
such as image files, are automatically collected and links updated
ready for publishing);
alterations to backgrounds, new meta tags or text block multi-find
and replacements achieved with one action;
one button uploading or publishing - that is, the ability to easily
publish an entire website (or only the changes to your website) both
locally and remotely.
