Importing php page into BV

[Charlieku]

I have built my site clarionword.com completely in BV, but now have need of using some php pages. Is it possible to import them into BV? Thanks. Charlieku

Re: Importing php page into BV

You can create php pages using BV. Change the page properties as follows:
Page Properties >> File Extension: php >> OK. Instead of generating an html page during publishing, it will generate a php page.

And yes- if you have already created pages in php -simply use the FTP Manager to move them to the server.

Yes Charlie,

I bit sloppy, but it can be done:

1. Make duplicates of your php files for backup.
2. Using your File Manager or Blue FTP (left pane) Right-click a php file and select Rename, then change the extension .php to .html
3. Open BV.
4. Select File >> New Page >> From Existing HTML Page.
5. In your case, you have them on your computer. In the next dialog, select the Local radio button.
6. Click Browse for a File and open the html.

You will still have some work to do as I-frames and tables are completely messed up, but at least you will have the text.

To recover php code, you may want to open the php file with Notepad.

I hope this helps. Good luck. Let us know please..

Re: Importing php page into BV

PHP pages with the extension set to html will result in BV importing the code as text that will appear on the screen.

You cannot really import php. What you can do is this:

Use the import feature as described above. This will only import the VISUALL result of the php code. Note that BV will NOT import frames or javascript or php code that is in the file.

Then, open your php code, and take all the script part, and insert it in your BV page either using the html box tool or pasting the code inside the page html.
