Hallo together,
I have a big problem, I try to make a web-page with 4 sub-pages but i really don't understand the concept with the links.
I create a master page (as in business3.dhet) and I create 3 subpages too. They where linked to the master (about-us / services / home) and when I edit the master I see a red ARROW in the right upper corner, so I think that is the sign for a link but where can I find this link? Not in the settings, adittional to that, where is the LINK WIZARD, I see him in the help-file, but not in the programm...
The question is, how can I link a text/button/grafik to a second page (as it was done in the business3.dhet)
hope for help!
Thomas

Thomas, you didn't understand the usage of master-pages; a master-page is a container for the pages of your site, not a page usable stand-alone.
In order to link two pages act in this way:
1- add the two pages to a project
2- from a widget (button, image, piece of text, aetc...) choose "Link" and setup the link |

Hm, yes - I have some problems to understand the usage ;)
But if I look in business3 there is a really complex page WITH links in it (on the left site ABOUT US/SERVICES) used as master-page. Is that a 'not so good' example?
I understand it in the following way, I create a master-page (standard-layout + navigation-buttons for the whole web-site) and I call this page from all content-pages (only this content will be included in a special area in the master-page)
So I have an eaqual design in all pages and I only have to change the content-pages, when something must be changed. The master-page is the same, only if I want to add a new page, I have to add one more button on it to include the new content.
Is this idea wrong?

Anyway, is there a simple example (which?) where I can see the usage?
I've created a new project. In that, I've created a index.dhe (only with the text 'Welcome on page...') then I've created (in shared) a master.dhe with a layout and 5 buttons on it and then I've created 2 pages (impressum + contact) in the OTHER-Folder.
In these two pages and in the index-page, I 'link' in the field 'master-page' to the master-page.
But this doesn't work, if I will export the whole project, in the index-page there will come the error 'a master-page must have only on object as a placeholder' ?!? - I don't understand the problem.

Okay, now the problem is solved (the placeholderpage was deleted, but I don't know how/why).
No I can export the project. And only one problem is there.
I can't change the master-page, if I do that and try to export the project (all files) again) I only get the message 'Page ignored!' - all other pages are okay. But there is no information why the master-page isn't exportet - is it possible that doesn't work with the trial-version? If this will work, I would buy the full version, but without...

Tom,
please check this help for links:
http://www.hexagora.com/download/dhe/Dynamic%20HTML%20Editor.pdf
for the master-page usage please check the program help:
- the master page is a container for your pages so in it you have to define a place in which other pages will be put (page placeholder)
- in each "client page" assign the master-page for using it
- link only to client pages

Hallo Davide,
hm, I think you don't understand the problem. It is already clear that the master-page is a container, but in your example (business3) on the master-page there are many aditional elemnts (buttons ...), not only the placeholder! So other elements can put in the master-page - yes (I think so) or no?
And another thing, if I create a master-page, I CAN'T change it after that. I only get the message 'Page ignored!' if I export the whole project. All pages are okay, only the master-page will ignored, why?
And because of this 'Page ignored!'-message, I can't use a template (business1 or business3) and change/expand these templates in my opinion.
Anyway, I read your PDF-Link, but the program is not really easy/with good usability ;) - I'm a porogrammer since more than 20 years, I genereated Homepages with a 'normal' Text-Editor, with PHP/HTML... no problem, but the DHE is in some areas a mystery for me ;) - but I'm sure, I will solve the puzzle :)
OKAY - I think I understand the problem - no files from the SHARED-Folder will be exported - hm, but then I do not understand the business3-example, there are buttons and other content - and if someone will change for example the text in on button this master-page HAS to export, hasn't it?
STRIKE - now I think I find the problem - I have to SAVE! the Master-Page file before I try to export the project - I thought the changes in the open file are enough and the DHE will save it before the whole project will be exportet - NOW the changes go to the exportet website, fine!
Great - so now I can buy the DHE ;)

Yes but only 1 placeholder ;-)

False, the master-page is ignored because it is a container and not useful by itself; it is ignored because it is in the "shared" folder
>And because of this 'Page ignored!'-message, I can't use a template (business1 or business3) and change/expand these templates in my opinion.

Please write me a private email with the things that you are not able to solve and I'll try to explain you;
for me is very difficult to understand what users are not able to understand...
>OKAY - I think I understand the problem - no files from the SHARED-Folder will be exported
Good
>- hm, but then I do not understand the business3-example, there are buttons and other content

No because the master-page is exported as a container for the pages of your site that use the master-page ;-)
So you need to re-export the pages that use the master-page
>STRIKE - now I think I find the problem - I have to SAVE!

mmmhh, probably you are right ;-)
Send me your sample site and I'll explain you what to do.
