What are the server requirements needed to host TypeRoom Lite and TypeRoom Professional sites?
TypeRoom Lite can be used with any web server.
TypeRoom Professional is compatible with any server operating system that runs:
- PHP 4+
- Apache
Unlike TypeRoom Lite (which simply publishes static HTML files), TypeRoom Professional installs a light-weight application on the receiving web server that allows for efficient interaction between the TypeRoom CMS (that is hosted on our infrastructure) and the live website. This application allows for very large websites to take advantage of the TypeRoom Professional advanced functionality without (for example) requiring thousands of HTML pages to be re-published every time a website menu is changed.
With the use of the TypeRoom API (coming soon), TypeRoom will be able to interact with any receiving system on any OS a web developer wishes.
What are the website compatibility guidelines for TypeRoom Lite and TypeRoom Professional?
Generally speaking, TypeRoom Lite will work with any HTML web page that is not built with frames and that contains HTML text. (We may expand this answer as we gather more input during our beta phase of TypeRoom Lite.)
TypeRoom Professional has similar requirements, but makes use of additional functionality that require following certain, basic conventions (which most well-programmed websites follow already). This convention exists mainly for menus where we have standardized on the use of unordered lists. Our intention is to make the system able to use unordered lists with as much flexibility possible, however, we do not expect the first release to work with every type of unordered list implementation, or every possible HTML programming method.
How do I get the bookmarks toolbar to show up on Firefox?
Go to your top menu bar, click on View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar. Normally this is enabled by default.
