Converting project from WWB

Post by alex4orly »

Started work on this, exported the project, then went into QWB to start the project and was fronted with the following:

10:49:54: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 38
10:49:54: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 11
10:49:55: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 35
10:49:55: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 38
10:49:55: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 38
10:49:55: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 38

Followed by:

10:51:43: can't create file '/opt/quick-n-easy-web-builder-7/log.txt' (error 13: Permission denied)
10:51:43: Can't save log contents to file.

Folder permissions are for root rwx , so - is there a way to start QWB as root, how? Or is this not the problem?

In the project itself, when going into the menu (part of a master frame) - there is in the menu entry page and label "Anchor" What do I need to do here?

Also, in the Link to : if I want to select a page in the project, I can't - I can only select a page on the website, why?

Need some help here

Thanks

It is difficult to say something meaningful about this without seeing the project.

Note however that not all projects can be converted. Some features are not supported by QWB.
So you may have used features in the project that are not supported.

My advise is to start with a simple project and see how that goes.

OK, I finnaly managed to log in

Is there a way - in WWB (Windows) to check which extensions my project is using?
Then, I can remove those extensions and not have to start again from scratch

Starting a clean project is OK, but from this, to recreating a 6 years old website, is not a small job...

Thanks

There is no option to display used extensions.

But you can open the project in notepad or another text editor and then search for 'w b x'
(with spaces between w b x)

WARNING: do not save in notepad!

Notepad should work.

Note that it's not a text file so you will need to open it as binary.

OK, I will do that. But, in my original post I included the list of the errors:

10:49:54: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 38
10:49:54: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 11
10:49:55: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 35
10:49:55: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 38
10:49:55: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 38
10:49:55: XML parsing error: 'not well-formed (invalid token)' at line 38

This to me looks like the QWB is reading an XML file, which is a TEXT file, which file is that? Can I see it? It has the clear indication of line numbers.

So?

Thanks

I did an attempt on my smallest project, created a single page project here : http://www.sakurasushimornington.com.au ... onials.qwb

This page, on the live website is here : http://www.sakurasushimornington.com.au ... nials.html.

You can see in the project file, two problems:

1) The left pannel of the page with text in it, shows nothing - why?
2) On the bottom right of the status bar is a small object made from a font-awsome object in WWB, but here it shows as Clipart. You can see it in action on the live website. Here it does nothing, why?

A general problem - In WWB I was able to preview either a single page, or the entire website, is there no such option in QWB?

Thanks

The text may contain formatting that is not supported by QWB.
ClipArt is not supported by QWB. It will be converted to a 'label', just to indicate that there was an object in the original project at that position.

You can set the preview scope via the menu: File->Preview in Browser->Preview in Entire Website.

OK, So - can I switch back into Windows to use QWB and after fixing the unsupported features, transfer the project into my Linux workspace?
Or mus I do the fixes in the Linux software?

Thanks

You can edit the project on any of the supported platforms.
So, you can fix it under Windows or Linux.
