Please shutdown  your NOF application before installing any of the "SwissKnife for NOF" components

Download and unpack any .zip file. Each component is working for itself. My "Grund-Paket" (basic package) includes several components (see above).

Copy any .exe file of the components you want to use, except the "LocalWebServer", into the NetObjects system folder "Components".

You will find this folder in Windows XP here:

C:\Program\NetObjects\NetObjects Fusion 12.0\Components

or in Windows 7 for instance here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NetObjects\NetObjects Fusion 12.0\Components

 

The application "LocalWebServer" must be installed into the "NetObjects" folder - see screenshots - which must be the default directory and is located here:

C:\Program\NetObjects\

Windows 7:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NetObjects\

The "LocalWebServer" requires JAVA. Do I have JAVA?

Please use for local publication with the "LocalWebServer" only the default program directory. The "LocalWebServer" searches for this virtual root directory with the name "Local Publishing" and nowhere else.

 

You can now install any component by double clicking on the .exe file. You must install the components on Windows Vista or Windows 7 with administrator rights (right click on .exe and execute as administrator). The new component-folder will be automatically generated. Nothing will be changed at your Windows system files.

You just delete a component folder in case you might decide to eliminate a component again. If you want to do this, you must delete any used components in your page view of NOF first and shutdown NOF before deleting any of the components folders in the NOF system folder.

In order to use the components open NOF in page view and go to:

View > Components > Custom Components

You will find "SwissKnifes for NOF" there.

The applications are self-explanatory in the property-window. An English version will be created possibly later.

 

Remarks:
 

  • Always use your "Local Publishing" and not the "Preview" of NOF.
     
  • All components may be used from version 9 to 2015 of NetObjects Fusion
     
  • You will find the component "DocType" and "Replace NOF-jQuery" and Replace LyteBox 3 with 5 here (tick it for usage):

    Publish > Menu Publish > Publish Components
     
  • Make sure to place the components “LyteBoxTextLink”, “TextLinkCSS” and “Zufalls-Texte” (random texts) in a text field
     
  • Use the "Standard-Doctype" of NOF for LyteBox version 3.22
     
  • Always raise a LyteBox component first on your page, before using the component “LyteBoxControl” to configurate your Lytebox
