Re: The future of FrontPage Server Extensions

I do not like to stay using out of date software, it is ok for a while if you
need time to move to newer systems, but I think it is important to stay at
least fairly current. Expecially in a college atmosphere where we are
teaching students about technology. I am just trying to figure out how we
will move forward on our currently deployed webpages.

You can maintain the FP features that require the run-time extensions with either, however you can
not add FP features to existing or new pages.

If you have a need or want, then there is no reason for you to stop using your current version of
FP.

I still use FP2000 for all my development work and have no plans to change, since it meets my needs.

So what you are saying is that the frontpage websites will no longer be able
to be updated except just the html? I thought these features were supposed to
be able to get these features via .net services?

So how do you add those features in one of those existing sites then?

Yes, you will be able to mange the FP sites, however you will not be able to create any new
pages
using FP webbots (navigation bars, shared borders, forms, discussion web, etc.)

I am assuming that spd is not intended for use with sharepoint portal server?
only sharepoint services? So If I have several hundred frontpage web sites
that I manage with the frontpage interface will I be able to manage them with
the expression web software?

- Thanks so much

Expression Web is designed not need or use the FP extensions, however if you open a site
that
is
using the extensions, then it will work with them and you can manage, but not add content
that
currently uses the extensions.

SPD is designed to work with SharePoint on a Windows 2003 and later version servers.

So am I to understand that the sharepoint developer and the expression will
work on the same server? We have Fp Extentions version 2002 which of course
is the latest. what is necessary for ongoing support of Expression and SPD on
the server? Just .net 2.0 or now 3.0? and do you have to tell the individual
website to use .net instead of frontpage extentions? Can you refer me to some
documentation on how to setup the server? We have over 400 websites using fp
extentions. I have not been able to find much documentation on the backend
server side of this conversation.

The FP server extensions will support Expression and SPD. Depending on the
FPSE versions, as to what features will be supported.

You can also use FTP if you choose not to use the FPSE.
