You can edit content directly in Artisteer 3.0
Information about v 3.0 on News page.
Use Website or Blog Template.
|
| |
Oleg
|
Select "Website or Blog" on start-up dialog.
Or Select
File -> Change Template -> Website or Blog
for your existing project.
Now you can add new pages and edit content.

Tom,
In Artisteer 3, change your html template to web site or blog type, then click on the content and edit it.
You can not edit the content for the templates, but you can for the Web Site or Blog...

Thanks Nick. I think I'm missing something. When I think content, I'm thinking text. Yet, I see no way to change the text withing Artisteer. I have to use an html editor.

Hi Tom,
You can edit any of the text you see within Artisteer, just click on it and it let's you edit it ! A single click gives the text the focus, two clicks highlights the word you are on, and three clicks highlights the entire text - then just start typing!
And there is a page control on the left to move between pages, and it also provides facilities to add new pages and Blog entries...
HTH, Davo

Thanks guys. I knew I was missing something. You have to select Website or Blog, you can't select WordPress or HTML Template. Doh!

3.0 still has a ways to go before it can be considered an editor. I can tell you after many hours of working with it that i cannot handle <param> code being dropped into the HTML. It freaks it out. If adding Google AdSense it doubles it, doubles it, doubles it each time a new page is created. Then Artisteer drags to a halt. It sucks up all computer resources and borks.
Most HTML designs will not render correctly in Adobe CS5.
I'll give them time to remedy these issues, but a full fledged editor it is not. Any changes that I have made to the exported files will be overwritten as soon as I make changes in Artisteer.

@Bob - you response is as if the product is released - please remember that it is currently in (Early) beta - not designed for production work!

I am more than aware of its beta status. But it has so many bugs as to be nearly unusable. The biggest issue remains editing exported pages and that should have been a priority. Simple things like pressing CTRL-V to paste text puts it into a loop and only CTRL-ALT-DELETE gets you out.
I have asked Artisteer to create a forum for beta testers. I have high hopes for this product. But the OP asked a question and I gave an honest answer. I have been a programmer for 30 years and hate to hear from others about errors. But -- it's part of the job.

Not even Beta. It's Preview Release.
It's not even rleased as bet yet.
But it works great for wordpress!!!

@Jacob: If you're such a crack coder why are you using WordPress? And how do your comments relate to this topic? HTML editing is not mature in Artisteer 3.0. I prefer Joomla.
|

Jacob

Because it's a lot easier.
Besides Millions of people working on code is better than just one person.
I'd rather save time on the coding so I can offer my clients tons of other services.
Not everyone can afford a $10,000 custom written application.
As far as Joomla I've probably been converting a lot of your customers to Wordpress then. lol
Wordpress is easier for the average client.

3.0 may not be perfect but it's great to create a template and export the index page. HTML-Kit can take it from there.

Bob

My goodness, you both seem to want to avoid the obvious. Artisteer claims that no experience is necessary. If it takes 1) coding experience and/or 2) another program to actually work with the template then Artisteer has failed or misled. Using Joomla, Wordpress, or other avoids the failure of Artisteer to work with HTML. I WANT Artisteer to resolve the issues. But I am not willing to turn a blind eye. I bought a program for a reason.

I didn't need any prior experience with Artisteer. I was able to use it right after I downloaded it. I was able to easily create my own design and insert my own pictures. Fairly simple. Sorry it's so hard for you.

Hey genious! Nice way to evaulate software that's not even released in beta. . 
I have a car that doesn't have the engine in yet. You wanna bitch about the milage?
Nothing you say matters at all until the software is offically released.
So feel free wasting you time replying to this. It's not like you have somthing better to do is it?

Now that was a pointless reply. I too bought this software for the HTML features that don't work. So did other posters here. Version 2 is not beta and its templates cannot be edited and I wasted my money. Version 2 has been officially released. I would like to read of your solutions rather than you defending software that doesn't work. When a company releases beta software that means its core is complete and minor bug fixes need to be made. This is an alpha release. No experience necessary yet all of you cheerleaders keep saying the same thing? Learn to write some kind of code by hand. I bought this software because it said no experience necessary. But I guess you now feel better thumping your anonymous chest.

Persnally I wish it didn't do HTML at all. I would be just fine if it only a template creation tool.
I think they should split the software.
One version for you nubes that insist on making non dynamic static html sites. (Your version can be the cheap version.) You know one of just another milltion html editors out there.
And one for professional web development companies. With advanced template creation abilites.
I'd be willing to pay alot more than the software costs right now.
As you can see by relentless posters like Bob it's only opening a can of worms to even offer html editing.
But hey it's a free country...
BTW Bob please feel free to post your customer list. Just incase your people get tried of being locked into a site where only you can make the changes for them...

so us nubes don't deserve the same software?

Are the problems with Artisteer 2.x the reason why exported HTML templates cause DreamWeaver CS5 to slow to a crawl when making changes?

This is a fairly ignorant statement. Static sites can run on any shared host. Popular database driven sites won't do as well. It's called max connections and system resources.
|

Jacob

Wrong.
You can easily run a database with a caching plugin to generate static pages automatically.
It runs just as fast as a static site and your clients can make their own changes.
But this isn't your bread and butter is it?
So keep at what your doing. Meanwhile your clients will be contacting me when that what something more dynamic.
|
| |
Tom
|
If you want to run caching plugins to run a static site and not have site visitors actually sign-in to use the options of a blog or CMS, what is the point? Why not just run static pages?
Anyone who actually signs-in to post or actually use a cms will use connections and resources, which are limited on shared hosting. So I stand by my statement..
While you may fancy yourself a pro, but I'd say if you are using a cms to and Artisteer templats to sell static websites, maybe you are the noob.
|
| |
Tom
|
And as far as your other ignorant remark to Bob concerning customers only updating their site by using a blog or cms, just another display of ineptness on your part.
