FlyPage TAG DOCUMENTATION
[ <!--startv001--> <!--endv001--> ]
The FlyPage Tag is the power behind the entire system. You can use these tags in many different ways. You put the FlyPage Tags in any strategic place on your webpage you want to enable to be edited/changed easily through the FlyPage Editor. They can be wrapped around by any other tag for formatting concerns such as font tags or list tags. The space between the starting and ending FlyPage Tag is where the FlyPage content editor (person) will be able to fill in with by simply typing in information into a web based form. The information is then physically written directly onto the webpage in between these two tags. Then when the page is called up again to edit the FlyPage program physically reads in the current information and places that into the edit boxes. You then can make minor changes to that content, make no changes or completely replace the entire content.

FlyPage content can be either text or complete HTML code. There are two limitations of FlyPage Tags - 1. The content typed into the editor can not contain other FlyPage Tags and 2. The tag can not be in the middle of a another tag. The FlyPage Tag is basically a comment tag and the same rules apply.

FlyPage Tags are in the following format:

<!--startv001--> <!--endv001-->
<!--startv002--> <!--endv002-->
<!--startv003--> <!--endv003-->

They must be in sequential order on the page. Each tag must have a corresponding entry in both the config.txt file and the .tmpl file.
FLYPAGE VERSION 2.0 - NOW 7 DIFFERENT FLYPAG TAGS

We have now upgraded Flypage to a new level of functionality. We have incoporated the types of things that were limiting in version 1.0. Below is a description and usage instructions for the new tags. Also are graphic images of exactly what the tag will look like on the edit page.

<!--startMETATAGSv001-->
<!--endMETATAGSv001-->		 FLYPAGE META TAG
with this new tag you can now build web pages that include the very important meta description and meta keyword tags that assist search engines with proper placement of your information. This tag must be placed inside the <head></head> area on the web page.
<!--startBODYv002-->
<!--endBODYv002-->		 FLYPAGE BODY TAG
This tag allows you to take control of the settings that are available inside of the body tag. You can set background color or image, text colors and link colors.
<!--startLINKv003-->
<!--endLINKv003-->		 FLYPAGE TEXT LINK TAG
To create a hyperlink on your html page all you have to do is to place a Flypage Text Link Tag where you want your users to be able to enter in a link. They key in the text that will be visible on the page and the url to jump to when clicked. You can even set the target if you are working with frames or want to open up a NEW browser when clicked.
<!--startEMAILv004-->
<!--endEMAILv004-->		 FLYPAGE EMAIL TAG
Placing a active link to an email address is simple using this tag. Just put in the text and the email address and a hyperlinked email link is created on the web page.
<!--startLASTUPDATEDv005-->
<!--endLASTUPDATEDv005-->		 FLYPAGE LAST UPDATED TAG
The power of Flypage lets you maintain up-to-date web pages so it is recommended that you tell the world when your web page was last updated. We created this tag so you can key in the words you want to appear in front of the actual date that the page is being updated. The date will be in the format of: Wednesday, March, 3 1999 (for example) you might us the phrase "This site was updated on:"
<!--startGRAPHICv006-->
<!--endGRAPHICv006-->		 FLYPAGE GRAPHIC TAG
Being able to call out graphics on your web page is a powerful tool. Using the Flypage Graphic Tag allows you to add to your page a graphic THAT IS ALREADY UP ON THE WEB. Sorry but you can not upload graphics directly onto your server from within Flypage. We have chosen NOT to include this for security reasons. You can also make the graphic a linkable object by putting in the url to be associated with the graphic. And again you can set the target for frames.
<!--startv007-->
<!--endv007-->		 FLYPAGE TEXT TAG
The original Flypage Text Tag is the most powerful of all the tags. You can use straight text or allow full HTML code to be past into this edit box.




NEW FEATURE ADDED IN FLYPAGE UPDATER 2.02 (May 17th, 1999): With the standard flypage tag you now can set the maximum number of characters allowed to be shown on the web page. You also can set if HTML will be allowed with this flypage tag. Both these new features are on a tag by tag basis. The proper format is the following:

v007=text description goes here as usual|1000|NOHTML

This above example limits the "shown" content to be 1000 total characters and no html will be allowed. HTML tags are converted to text on the resulting html page instead of being processed.

v007=text description goes here as usual|NOHTML

In the above example the input length is unlimited but is still limited to plain text:

This following will *not* work because the size limit must be listed first before the NOHTML.
v007=text description goes here as usual|NOHTML|1000
The default ( NO number or NOHTML is left off the tag information) is that the user has options of both 'plain text' and 'html' with an unlimited char length.

One drawback is that the user can type as much as they want but it will be chopped off it the maxlength is set. HTML scrolling textboxes do not offer a maxlength option like single line text boxes.
Usage Notes On New Tags:
  • All tags must have a start and an end tag
  • Tag Numbers - v001 - v999 must be in sequential order
  • You can not have two tags with the same number on the same html page
  • You must use the proper Tag Identifier for the tag to take on the properties as explained above(METATAGS,BODY,LINK,EMAIL,GRAPHIC,LASTUPDATED)
  • METATAGS must be located in the <head></head> area on the html page
  • BODY tag must be located after the close of the </head> tag
  • You CAN have same numbers if they are called out in the config.txt file on different html pages
