InstallationWebYep Dreamweaver ExtensionIf you are using Adobe® Dreamweaver® to create your web pages, you can also use the WebYep Dreamweaver Extension. The WebYep Dreamweaver Extension is the file "webyep.mxp" - install it by simply double clicking it. This will start the "Extension Manager" - just follow its instructions to install the extension.
Remark: If you have installed more than one Adobe® application, be sure to select the right application before installing. You can also transfer extensions from one application to another with the "File / Import Extensions..." menu command. The webyep-system folderThe core of WebYep is a set of PHP scripts contained in a folder named "webyep-system". This webyep-system folder must be uploaded onto your webspace (like all other pages/images of your website) - usually into the root folder of your website, where your homepage (index.html or index.php) resides.
Important: Whenever you rename a page or move it to another folder, the link between the page and its WebYep data is lost, as WebYep can only identify a page by its URL (filename and path).
But you can re-link the page to its data: Open the file webyep-system/data/documents - a text file, containing pairs of paths and document IDs. Locate the file in question and correct its file or folder name. Then WebYep will find the document's data again.For example, if you have your page in a subfolder 'new_design' and you want to have it in the root folder, you'd do the following:
ConfigurationBefore uploading the webyep-system folder to your webspace you should setup the configuration (in the file config-inc.php inside the webyep-system folder) - at least set a username and password. See "Configuration" for details. Installation on the web serverTo install WebYep on your web server simply upload the webyep-system folder like all your pages and images via FTP. You can this with any FTP appication or directly from Dreamweaver's site window with the "put" command.
Preparing WebYep, enabling write accessTo enable write access for WebYep (and thus PHP) to let it store data on the web server on most server systems you have to set the unix file permissions for the folder PHP should store data in. To see how to prepare WebYep with other applications than Dreamweaver, please see "Preparing WebYep on the server, Technical Details". From within Dreamweaver the preparation can be accomplished by choosing the "Prepare WebYep" command from the context menu showed when right clicking the webyep-system folder in the list of remote files in Dreamweaver. List the remote files in the site window (or "files" panel), by choosing "Remote view" in the upper right popup menu. Then right click the "webyep-system" folder and choose "Activate WebYep" in the appearing context menu.
VerificationWhether the preparation of WebYep was successful can be verified by calling the WebYep status/info page:
