This may be a really silly question, so apoligies up front.
Is there a way to globally set the margins for every page I have on my site? For example, I have a site with several navigation tabs. The "Home" tab has a single HTML control in zone 1. For now, I just have a couple of lines of text (please see attached site_now.jpg). Notice the lack of white space between the navigation tabs and the footer. I would like the page to look similar to the attached (site_future.jpg). I know I can accomplish this on every page by using the

tag, or worst case scenario by using several
's, but is there not a way to do this globally so that every page has the same, or similar margins?
thanks!

Godaddy has Tandem Server setup in their hosting connection. Try installing using their service and if you still have troubles respond back to this thread and we'll take another route.

I'm using GoDaddy to host my site.
I wanted to install TS into a subfolder (not the root folder) on my site, so after downloading/unzipping the TS files to my local machine, I uploaded the contents of the Webroot folder to my site (www.mysite.org/development/)
I made sure that my /development/ folder had read/write permissions.
I ran the install process (www.mysite.org/development/install) and received the following error:

There have been errors while installing Tandem Server CMS.Error Messages

Unknown Error occurred. Please ensure your server meets all prerequisites and try again.

I found out that did NOT have a web.config file in my root folder, so I created one with only the following entry:

I tried to reinstall, and received this error:
Parser Error Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'TandemServerInstaller.Install'.

Source Error:

Line 1: <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" EnableViewState="false" CodeBehind="Install.aspx.cs" Inherits="TandemServerInstaller.Install" %>
Source File: /development/install/install.aspx Line: 1

Sorry for all the copy/pasting. I read other posts about installing in a sub-directory, so I didn't think this was a problem. Could it be because I did not have a web.config file? I could have definitely missed a step/requirement somewhere down the line.

Thanks for any help.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

No, I was never able to find a way to do this through TS. However, I did setup a www.live.com account (which now comes with the free online MS Office and Skydrive which is 25GB of disk storage). Then my client setup various folders as either public or private and they were able to do everything they wanted. I also made a link on the TS site to live.com.

Let me know if that sounds like a workable solution for you.

John,
Were you able to figure this out? I have a customer that would like to use a "secure" page (one that only certain people can get to with a loginId/password), and post files (as well as view/download). Is there any way this can be done directly though a TS page, or would my cusomter need to log in directly to the web server/TS admin page? They're basically looking for document management functionality.

Topic "Using TS to update an existing site" a message from AlanG

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:05:09 GMT

Your existing default.htm file will not be overwrote, however your webserver has an ordered list of default documents it tries to hit when a visitor hits your domain w/out the "default.htm" e.g. http://mysite.org instead of http://mysite.org/default.htm. Usually it looks for index.htm, default.htm, default.aspx (in that order). so you are probably fine but if your root domain does not go to default.htm this is why and you'll need to update your default document order.

Our home owners association's website consists of a single page (which is defaulted to http://www.mysite.org/default.htm). I would like to use TS to update our HOA site. If I install TS on our webserver (according to the installation instructions), will this automatically overwrite the current default.htm? I would like to keep the existing site in place until I've fully developed my TS site.

In other words, after I install TS, I still want users to be able to go to our http://www.mysite.org url and see the existing page (until I'm ready to publish the new TS page(s))

Topic "Friendly Url" a message from AlanG

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 18:25:28 GMT

If your site is being redirected to the generic 404 page then it's not configured properly for your site. Ask your hosting company to verify the 404 page setting to be "/FileNotFound.aspx" and then have them reset your IIS server.

Topic "Friendly Url" a message from hanbert

Hosting company service level is bad, no control panel or what so ever, I can only ftp into the server to publish. I am hoping some experience guys like you can go into my site and see if the FileNotFound.aspx page is set up correctly. I tried accessing into a non-existing page and it does redirect me to a standard IIS filenotfound page but I am not sure if that is the one that referred to as FileNotFound.aspx.

Question: How can I verify if 404 error is configure correctly to FileNoFound.aspx ?

Topic "Friendly Url" a message from AlanG

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:10:21 GMT

Who is your hosting company? Can you see the 404 page settings in your hosting control panel to verify it's set up properly? Note: If you are able to upgrade your site to IIS7 then you don't need the 404 page configured.

Topic "Friendly Url" a message from hanbert

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 04:53:53 GMT

Hi, I have created a website (www.gallium-intel.com) but the friendly url is not working. I have written to the hosting company to set the 404 error to FileNotFound.aspx page and was informed that it has been done. However, when I enable the friendly url feature, I will get an error message when I navigate out of the home page.
Can someone help? how can I confirm if the FileNoFound.aspx setting is correct? how can it be resolved?

Thank you very much in advance.

The default is "Free Website Creator by TandemServer.org", but how do I Change it to any of the following: "Free Website Builder by TandemServer.org", "Free ASP.NET CMS by TandemServer.org", "Free Content Management System by TandemServer.org", "Free Website Management System by TandemServer.org" The client doesn't have a problem with the link there and neither do I other then the wording of it (its not a free website creator it is a free CMS) and I have seen most of these even on this page it says Free ASP.NET CMS by... so how do I change it?

Thanks,

Thanks. I've done some reading on Snitz and it sounds like it should definitely work. Go Daddy also offers a couple others that sound like they might do the trick as well (I'm not building a business site or anything, just a personal site, so I don't need anything particularly complex). I'll let you know what I end up with.

Thanks again.

I had a TS site that I added a forum to but I just recently took it down because of lack of use. I used Snitz and used the MS Access version. It was a seamless app and looked like it was part of the site. I just added a menu item to my menu and then linked it to the forum site. It worked very well.

you can add any 3rd party forum to your website by installing it in a sub application folder e.g. http://yoursite.com/forum. Tandem Server does not have a built in forum to install.

So is there a convenient way to add a forum to a web site with TS?

Topic "Product List Control with 2 images" a message from jmw

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:32:54 GMT

If the Product list control had a similar capability like the gallery. Where you could have a thumbnail picture and then a regular size picture that would display in a popup with text. I know you can do something similar right now with the Detail page content but it doesn't popup over the page, it replaces what was on the page and you can't click on it to close it, you have to do a BACK.

I was not trying to be rude I was trying to empasize the ARE. I don't know of any other way to do it. I've received many emails where the sending used that same technique and it never once got my "male goose" in an uproar.

I have numerous sites using TS and I have never encountered the password problem you are having.

BTW, I did Google dbarselow and not one app bearing your name was found. As you know I sent you a private message discussing this with you.
