 IMPORT Files - Revisited!

Okay folks, I must be real dumb - probably right!

I cannot figure out how to import files (or folders for that matter). I've
looked at this, I've had two of my developer people look at this and one
other development company look at this little nagging issue.

I have reviewed at all the posts and Peterr has been kind enough to give me
suggestions. But at the end of the day, I am just lost.

Perhaps a brief explanation of what we are trying to accomplish will help.
Bear with me a moment or so.

We have developed an app in (DB manaipulations etc),
and FP2003 (GUI interface and a few othe things) that massages IIS activity
logs (as well as the FTP logs). This app places the data into an MS SQL DB.
The object of the exercise is allow the Webmaster and Netadmin folks to view
logs and generate reports via a browser. In addition, we have some SQL SPs
and Triggers that will alert people based on some level of Alert Status in
the logs (i.e. a column in the SQL DB). All works well.

Now, we are converting (migrating???) the app to CCS3.2. All
conversion/change over is moving along quite well. The problem that I have
is that we have hundreds of images and many (82) pages of existing ASP
scripts that we need to bring into CCS. I can copy (using Windows Explorer)
the files to the project dir, but I can't convince CCS to "Import???" files
or folders. One of the big reasons we need to do this, is some of our code
is Browser Dependant (we have some Red Hat anad Mac Clients that use
different browsers - like Mozzila etc). So this is important to us.

This is a great app (made us lots of $$$) and we truly believe that CCS will
allow us to do some really cool things and instead of having to use two or
three othe tools, we can make all our wishes come true with CCS.

To put this into perspective, it took 3 developers 4 months with
and BrighSwrod to design, build and implement this app. We have been using
CCS for about 5 weeks and have 80% of the change over/migration done. In
addition, we have added 6 new features to the app that would have taken us a
few months to do in , and FP. So this is definitely the
way we want to go.

I realize and understand that I can create new pages in CCS and copy and
paste. But why would one want to do this, time consuming and just a pain.

Can anyone help me on this.

I apologize for the secondary post, but we are quite frustrated with this,
probably simple item.

It's something that I just can't get my optics around.

Thanks

RG

Richard,
I'm afraid that our previous thread got offtrack since you replied to a message that talked about importing files from another CCS project.
However, importing ASP code into CCS is not possible, and for technical/logical reasons probably will never be. At least in the sense of converting ASP programs into CCS pages/project.
However:
1. You can combine 2 different Web applications, one created with CCS and another with manual coding, if each of those applications consists of separate pages. Thus your previous ASP scripts will continue running as always, while you can create additional Web pages with CCS, or just publish CCS pages to another folder. There is no need to import anything into CCS, although you could copy your previous app into some CCS project sub-folder. Those ASP files won't be shown as CCS pages.
2. You can include certain ASP scripts into CCS pages, using the standard ASP INCLUDE directive, as long as those scripts don't create any output (as to not mix with CCS page output). You may call some functions in those scripts from CCS events. Here also, you could copy your previous ASP scripts into some CCS project sub-folder, but they won't be shown as CCS pages. If you want to see your ASP files then you would need to switch to the "Files" tab below the Project Explorer panel.

Importing images is easy - you can use Windows to copy your images into any CCS project folder or sub-folder, for example "images". Though CCS won't show them in Project Explorer unless you switch to the "Files" tab. The "Pages" tab of CCS Project Explorer can show only CCS pages.

Thanks for the Excellent explanation. It clears up the whole idea if
"Importing".

If I were to use my eyes, I would have seen the File Tab. Yup, the files are
there all right. DOH!

I knew it would be an optic thing. It's 'All Good Now'.

Cheers.

Hello,
You can refer to CCS Example Pack solution -> PopUp list example (http://examples.codecharge.com/ExamplePack/PopUpList/PopUpList.php) that demonstrates how to open a code file in a new window with JavaScript code.
