-
I'm trying LGSP but I can't even change a configuration file! LGSP DOESN'T Do ANYTHING
-
Probably in your php.ini-file the value of the register_globals variable is Off.
Change it into «register_globals = On». Be careful: LGSP is a
development tool for sites and should only run on a locally used machine
which is not really used as server.
-
Must I use the LGSP Html-frontend?
-
No. You can change the LGSP configuration file
by any text editor if you respect the php array structure of that file.
The site generator itself can be found under
$INSTALLATION_PATH/lgsp/mat/lgsp.php.
Its a php script which can be executed in this sense. Try
$INSTALLATION_PATH/lgsp/mat/lgsp.php -h
for details
-
Which are the content or target file which I shall edit manually?
-
For each submenu entry there will be generated one specific target file
which is named like the id of the submenu entry. These files should
be worked out manually
-
May I change the automatically generated frame pages manually?
-
Yes you may. But the next call of LGSP will overwrite
all frame pages. Therefore you should save your changings.
-
Can I select an own background color or picture for each logo-, menu- and/or submenu area?
-
Yes. With release 1.2 there have been added the configuration parameters
«LOGO_BACKGROUND_PICTURE», «LOGO_BACKGROUND_COLOR»,
«MMAR_BACKGROUND_PICTURE», «MMAR_BACKGROUND_COLOR»,
«SMAR_BACKGROUND_PICTURE» and «SMAR_BACKGROUND_COLOR».
-
Why can't I determine the Fontsizes of the mainmenu area and the submenu area?
-
It's very difficult to find font solutions which are valid for the IE, Opera,
Mozilla, Netscape, Galeon and/or Konqueror. LGSP uses an approximation.
-
Why is the LGSP-Demo so ugly?
-
The aim of the Demo is to demo and to explain the possibilities of LGSP.
And therefore it must be an ugly patchwork without a special style.
-
Can I already visit sites, which have been (or at least: will nearly be) created by LGSP?
-
Yes:
-
Are there any whishes which shall be implemented too?
-
Yes:
-
Allow to suppress the mainmenu entries in the mainmenu area.
-
Allow to link a mainmenu entry to an external site/page.
