DB/Text WebPublisher PRO is a server version of DB/TextWorks that enables you to publish textbases on the Internet or an intranet, so Web users can search them. WebPublisher PRO accepts queries from standard Web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, and accepts XML function calls. The software returns search results in dynamically generated HTML and XML reports, and allows for editing over the Web. WebPublisher PRO is used together with DB/TextWorks, which is the "buildware" for creating searchable textbases.
Important! This section applies to clients upgrading from version 14.5 or earlier. Please read the entire section carefully.
Before you can use any textbase with WebPublisher PRO v16.0, you must upgrade the textbase using DB/TextWorks version 16.0. You will be prompted to upgrade the textbase when you open it with DB/TextWorks.
A change must be made to the WEB.CONFIG file for InmagicBrowse. Please see the installation notes for more information.
WebPublisher Edit Screens now use WPP_Edit.aspx instead of a .ASP page (iwpp-edit.asp or icsw-edit.asp). You will need to re-export any HTML edit screens. And if you have made any customizations to the old .ASP pages (rare), you'll need to transfer those customizations to the new .ASPX page.
If your WebPublisher reports look different than they did in previous versions, they probably include Raw HTML or Inline Images. Open the form in the Form Designer, choose Tools>Form Properties, select the HTML tab, uncheck Use Cascading Style Sheets to preserve formatting, save the form, and try the report in WebPublisher again.
Customers with Inmagic Genie should review the UseLegacyEncoding= option in the DB/TextWorks Help; see the "DBTWPub.INI (ICSWeb.INI) File" topic under "WebPublisher PRO Configuration" in the Help Contents.
The applicable issue number is enclosed in [square brackets].
Images – WebPublisher reports can now easily link from a small image on a web page (a thumbnail) to the full size image. The new option is on the HTML tab of the Picture Box Properties dialog box. [6130]
Browse Choices – The buttons have been optimized; for example, we’ve added an "Add & Close" button so that users no longer need to click "Add" then "Close". [7672]
