Site Structure

TSH operations occur at:

  1. Desktop:   Content for TSH is created at the desktop. Content is written in html, proofed (along with relevant images), assigned a folder-name then stored in the desktop file manager. An identical file structure is created at the server. The content items are uploaded to the server file manager.
  2. Server:  

  3. The TSH Index    https://thermospokenhere.com
    The TSH Table of Contents:   /wp/00_tsh/00_toc/00_toc.html

    -- 2. A PHP functionality extracts data from HTML/CSS to the populate DATABASE.

    -- 3. A PHP functionality for selective displays of database, to provide special views. For example:
    Previews: http://thermospokenhere.com/tshdev/section_preview.php?id=Matter_in_Space_and_Time or:
    Content of an Item: http://thermospokenhere.com/tshdev/content.php?id=A8000.

    You can keep a HTML/CSS section and a separate CMS section (meaning Wordpress would replace the current PHP/database). But if you're talking about having HTML/CSS content, my PHP/Database content and then a separate Wordpress install too, I really wouldn't suggest that. It'll just get too messy, and it gets complicated knowing where to go to edit things.

    FORUM Split-Screen Tool:

    These are "entry" instructions for use of the FORUM:
    http://thermospokenhere.com/tshdev/split.php?item=E1780&forum=3&topic=3

    It creates a split screen view of these two pages:
    TSH Content Item:http://thermospokenhere.com/tshdev/content.php?id=E1780
    Forum Topic: http://thermospokenhere.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3

    It has this format:
    http://thermospokenhere.com/tshdev/split.php?item=[TSH item number]&forum=[forum number]&topic=[forum topic number]

    You can change what appears in the split screen by changing the split screen URL. In this case, "item" refers to the content item you want to display within /tshdev/ ("E1780"). The "forum" ("3") and "topic" ("3") refer to the Forum URL that you want to show: http://thermospokenhere.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3 (note the "f" and the "t" in the URL)

    Example:
    So if you had these two links:
    http://thermospokenhere.com/tshdev/content.php?id=A1234
    http://thermospokenhere.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=22

    The split view link should look like this:
    http://thermospokenhere.com/tshdev/split.php?item=A1234&forum=4&topic=22

    Please note that this is an example only, and the links in the example won't work because the content item and forum topic don't exist.

    Notes on Images:

    When using images in your HTML files, cont.html, xrpt.html and premise.html, please make sure that your image src value comes immediately after the "<img", like this:

    <img src="path/to/image.jpg" style="..." class="..." />

    Please don't put anything (styling, classes or ids) between the "<img" and the "src" section, otherwise the system won't properly update the image path so it works. Styling, classes and ids can be put after the src section of the image is complete. Also, please use all lowercase "<img src", not "<IMG SRC". The uppercase version is old coding style and (while it works) is technically not valid HTML code.

    If you have trouble getting the images to show up properly within the database, those are two things to check.
