This tutorial needs to be either much more detailed or much more simple. Right now i feel like I am either overcomplicating things or missing steps. What is step 2? The three programming options you list - do I choose one and copy paste into my website? I tried that in Dreamweaver and all it gave me was a pic that said the name of the language (ASP, PHP, etc)

Plus, you need to make sure you specify which part is copied when and where and what order and what to delete and what not to delete in the code page.

Just imo.

Thanks Do you find this valuable?

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback regarding the Hello World tutorial. Step 2 of the tutorial provides the page code necessary to implement hello world in three different languages, PHP, ASP and JSP, depending on your server environment. This code can be copied into a blank web page document, and then used to test the implementation of the Hello World example. While I have not tested this example using Dreamweaver as the editor, I think it should work. What specific server platform are you using to implement Hello World? PHP/ASP/Python, etc?

Again, thanks for your feedback and I'll take this into consideration as we look for different ways to change the tutorial.


Thanks,

Thank you for the quick response.

I am just trying to see how this would work in a simple html doc first and then maybe move on to use it for our company which I think uses ASP but I am not sure as I am not the main web developer. I think your feature could really help us out and I am willing to play around with it until it works.

Two questions for you real quick. In step one, the RESTfil URL you guys provide - is that something I should just add as an <a href> link in my website? I substituted my developer key and namespace and got as far as getting the text based easy edit button and that one sentence right below that, but thats it so far.

Then, my next step i assume would be to copy and paste the code you have provided for generating that restful link for each user that logs on. However, I tried simple copy paste of all the versions of the code in a blank html file and then opening that and I got errors of some kind each time. So how do I fix that then?

As for step three, the java library, I was just hoping I could copy paste that in my head of the html file. But I havent gotten this far anyways.

Hope you can help me out man.

>> Almost correct. The RESTful link is used to retrieve a snipped of HTML that you then embed into your site via a server-side include. The Wetpaint Injected product requires modification of your server pages (in your case, ASP) in order for you to get SEO value for your content. Step 2 shows a couple of different example on how to retrieve the content and how to embed it via SSI.

Then, my next step i assume would be to copy and paste the code you have provided for generating that restful link for each user that logs on. However, I tried simple copy paste of all the versions of the code in a blank html file and then opening that and I got errors of some kind each time. So how do I fix that then?

>> Not quite a copy and paste. Instead, you'll need to generate a pass ticket, which is then embedded into the JavaScript content stream that's sent to the client. Step 5 shows specific examples of how to generate a passt ticket for individual users, and how to stream that to the client.

As for step three, the java library, I was just hoping I could copy paste that in my head of the html file. But I havent gotten this far anyways.
