In this lecture I am going to show you how to create a new site in Dreamweaver…..

In this lecture I am going to show you how to create a database and import your database dump into the database you have created

In this lecture I am going to show you how to link your Dreamweaver site to your project database.

Like other development tools, Dreamweaver stores it database connection files in a folder called Connection. This folder is created automatically by Dreamweaver.

In this lecture, we are going to take an overview of our login form page and see what it takes to design one

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to link our Admin and Settings database tables to our Login form page

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to create a Logout page and Logout Successful form page

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to create a blank page and add bootstrap containers from where we will place our application header, sidemenu and footer

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add background colour to our header container and then insert application logo

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to insert current user welcome text and user account area dropdown menu codes

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to insert accordion sidemenu

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add footer background colour, copyright and developer details

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add content editable region

Our application pages needs to be linked so we can navigate from one page to the other.

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add links to our pages using Sidemenu links.

The project data entry and update forms has a number of unique features that makes them user friendly.

In this lecture, we are going to take an overview of the unique features as seen on the forms.

As earlier mentioned in our previous lecture, our project data entry and update forms has a number of unique features that makes them user friendly.

In this lecture, we are going to design a simple project data entry form.

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add currency plugin to the project cost textbox of our data entry and update forms

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add item drop down list to form select box

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add select date plugin to form date textbox

The beneficiaries fields which of course includes adult men, adult women and total children need to be summed up to have the total number of beneficiaries.

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add calculator plugin that will enable us sum the three beneficiaries fields together and place the sum in total beneficiaries textbox.

If our CKEditor baseline URL links are not well configured, it will not show on our form page. Its therefore very important that we ensure it is properly configured along side with the global height.

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to configure our CKEditor baseline URL links and global text area height

Adding a text editor in the text area field will help in entering well formatted text, images, tables, special symbols and many other features in our contents

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to add CKEditor text editor plugin to our form text area

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to post (insert) project data contents from data entry form to database

To enable us design a working update data form, we need to first generate our project data Select SQL statement. This is the statement that will pull our data from the database to the update form based on the selected project unique ID

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to generate this project data recordset using the Select SQL statement

After posting our project data to the database, there might be need to update or edit all or a few of the contents using a form called the update or edit form.

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to update project data stored in the database using the update form

Posting our updated data on the update form to the database require an SQL statement.

The project details page enables us to view our project details in a read only form. No aspect of the contents can be edited on this page

In this lecture, we are going to take an overview of this project details page.

After posting our project data to the database, there need to be a way of viewing the details of the projects. This is important for guest viewers whose access right is read-only.

In this lecture, we are going to learn how to design project read-only detail page
