Interfaces / WebDAV
WebSite Director®
and WebDAV-enabled Applications
Many
current products, like Adobe GoLive, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft®
Web Folders and Microsoft Office 2000 now support the use of WebDAV (Web
Distributed Authoring and Versioning) to access and save content
directly to servers that support the WebDAV protocol. If your license
includes the WebDAV add-on module, WebSite Director (WSD)
provides you with the ability to to manage your web content using applications
that support this protocol/interface.
Microsoft
Office
2000/XP
When
you use Microsoft Office 2000 with WSD installed and WebDAV
enabled, the content you save on the server becomes a "request"
to either add new (Save As) or modify existing (Save) web
content. WSD automatically places the request into the WSD content
management workflow. You can then use Web Folders to approve
or disapprove this request within the workflow.
Adobe GoLive 5.0 & Macromedia
Dreamweaver
When you use Adobe GoLive
5.0, Macromedia Dreamweaver , and
other WebDAV enabled applications, you must first configure
them to directly access content on your server before using
the WebDAV protocol to manage your content from your workstation.
Follow the instructions for your product carefully to ensure
a proper connection to the server. As with the Microsoft
Office 2000 suite, WSD creates the appropriate "request" for
each saved file and places it into your content management workflow
for additional editing and approval by members of your content
management team. If your product only allows you to directly
access content, but not Requests within a workflow stage, you
will have to use the browser interface (or Microsoft Web Folders
if running under Windows) to approve or disapprove thses requests.
Microsoft Web
Folders
When you use Microsoft Web Folders with WSD installed and WebDAV
enabled, you can drag new or modified content between
your local machine and the web server. The content you
drag to the server becomes a "request" to either add new
or modify existing web content, and is automatically placed
into the WSD content management workflow. You can then use
Web Folders to approve or disapprove this requests
within the workflow.
