Theme Variations

Frequently Asked Questions

Why were several theme variations removed from version 2.0?

According to my recent tests, Internet Explorer only reads up to 31 external style sheets. Subsequent external style sheets are ignored. This feature/bug partially explains why many of you experienced rendering issues with Envision 1.0 in Internet Explorer. Envision's theme variations exceeded this threshold and therefore caused Internet Explorer to ignore subsequent style sheets. To resolve this issue, I removed the "Title - Font Weight" and "Page - H1…H4 Font Size" theme variations and replaced their functionality with free RWSnippets included with Envision 2.0. I do apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause, but there is nothing more I can do to resolve this inherent browser limitation.

Why do PNG images not work in Internet Explorer 6?

I will no longer support PNG image transparency in IE6. This browser is 8 years old, and there is no excuse for continuing to it. However, Envision will otherwise display as expected.

Why do rounded corners not work in Internet Explorer?

Internet Explorer does not support the border-radius CSS property. I use this CSS property with Envision to provide end users the ability to customize the theme layout using Theme Variations. There are Javascript libraries that enable rounded corners in Internet Explorer, but they provide too much overhead and are not as flexible or customizable for the end user.

Will I need RapidSeach to use the built-in search form?

Yes. You can purchase RapidSearch on my website for an additional USD $15.00. You can also purchase the Envision/RapdiSearch bundle at a discounted rate.

I am already using MooTools, Prototype, or Scriptaculous. Will Flex still work?

Yes. Envision comes bundled with jQuery 1.3.2 in "No Conflict" mode. This ensures it will play nice with any other Javascript libraries you may already be using.

How to use the built-in jQuery 1.3.2 Javascript library

Envsion includes a built-in and minified copy of jQuery 1.3.2 for your convenience. This copy of jQuery does not use the "$" namespace by default; I have enabled "No Conflict" mode so that it plays nice with other Javascript libraries you may already be using. Use the following Javascript snippet anywhere on your website to call your own jQuery Javascript code.

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
	alert('Insert your Javascript here. You may now safely use the $ namespace.');
});

If you paste this snippet into a Styled Text page or sidebar, be sure you also highlight the Javascript code and select "Format -> Ignore Formatting" from the "Format" menu. To include custom jQuery plugins, you can insert the necessary <script> tags like this:

Unlike other search tools, RapidSearch 4 search results are displayed immediately on your own RapidWeaver website so you captivate your audience and control your own branding. You can purchase RapidSearch today for USD $15.00. RapidSearch 4 includes the following noteworthy features:

• Immediate inline search results
• Search images, blogs, & news
• Custom search result colors
• Custom search button text
• Custom header and footer
• Highlight search terms in results
• Improved utf8 character support

Powered by Google^™

RapidSearch 4 uses the Google^™ search engine to provide the best search solution for your RapidWeaver website. Search results are displayed immediately on your own RapidWeaver website so you can control your own branding.

Search safely

The Internet can be a scary place! This is why RapidSearch 4 now comes with website and image safe search filters.

Advanced image search

RapidSearch 4 provides advanced tools to fine-tune your image search. You can filter search results by file type (JPG, PNG, GIF, and BMP), by image type (Photos, Faces, Clip Art, and Line Art), or by image resolution (Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large).

Blog and news search

RapidSearch 4 can search blogs like Daring Fireball or news organizations and networks like The New York Times or CNN.

Minimum system requirements

1. RapidWeaver 4.0+
2. Mac OS X 10.5+
3. Javascript-enabled web browser

RapidSearch does not return any results. What is wrong?

Make sure you spelled the URL correctly when you added the website to the RapidSearch page (in Edit Mode). If RapidSearch still does not return results, try changing the first part of the URL to “http://your_website.com” or “http://www.your_website.com”; sometimes Google will index a website with the leading “www” and sometimes without the leading “www”. If RapidSearch still does not return results, your website may not be indexed by the Google search engine. You can submit your website to the Google search engine at http://www.google.com/addurl/.

RapidSearch will not activate. What is wrong?

Make sure you entered your serial number into the text field correctly before you activate RapidSearch. Also make sure you are not behind a firewall that prevents outgoing HTTP requests. If RapidSearch still will not activate, contact me for further assistance.

Do I need to purchase a new RapidSearch license for each computer I use?

A single RapidSearch serial number will work on two computers. If you install RapidSearch on three or more computers, you will need to purchase a new license for every additional two computers that you use. For example, if you have four computers, you need two licenses; the first license will work on the first and second computer, and the second license will work on the third and fourth computer.

Do I need a Google account to use RapidSearch?

No. You do not need a Google account to use RapidSearch.

Can RapidSearch search password-protected pages?

No. RapidSearch only sees what the Google search engine can index. If pages are inaccessible to the Google search engine, they are inaccessible to RapidSearch.

RapidSearch does not show every page on my website. Why not?

RapidSearch only knows about the pages that have been indexed by the Google search engine. Some pages on your website may not be indexed. If you recently added a new page, it may take several days for Google to index the new page. I encourage you to read my “Search Engine Optimization” guide to make sure your website is indexed as quickly and completely as possible.

Can RapidSearch search MP3s, PDFs, Word files, or other non-HTML files?

It depends. If the Google search engine can index these files, then RapidSearch will include them in search results. RapidSearch can search for website pages, blog entries, images (JPG,PNG,GIF,BMP), and news stories.

Version 2.0

RapidSearch 2.0 is wildly different from version 1.0. These are the differences between version 1.0 and version 2.0.

1. RapidSearch 2.0 uses the Google™ search engine — not Yahoo™.
2. RapidSearch 2.0 can search an unlimited number of websites.
3. RapidSearch 2.0 provides customizable search results highlighting.
4. RapidSearch 2.0 only requires a javascript-enabled web browser.
5. You do not need PHP or Curl for RapidSearch 2.0 to work.

How to upgrade from version 1.0

You must remove the old RapidSearch 1.0 plugin and delete your existing RapidSearch pages from both your RapidWeaver file and your web server. You must complete these steps before you install RapidSearch 2.0.

1. Backup all relevant files.
2. Delete your RapidSearch 1.0 page, and save your RapidWeaver file.
3. Remove the old RapidSearch.rwplugin file from the directory "~/Library/Application Support/RapidWeaver/".
4. Ensure the published RapidSearch 1.0 PHP file is removed from your web server.
5. Follow the installation instructions located on the Getting Started page.

Search Engine Optimization Guide

My RapidSearch plugin for RapidWeaver relies on the Google search engine to index your RapidWeaver website. RapidSearch will only return search results for pages that have been indexed. Therefore, it is in your best interest to use good search engine optimization practices. This is a beginner’s guide to help you learn and use search engine optimization in your RapidWeaver website.

1. The Basics
   1. How to add a title
   2. How to add a description
2. Submit your website to Google
3. Ensure timely updates to the Google search index
   1. What is a sitemap.xml file?
   2. Setup a Google Webmasters account
   3. Automatically create and submit sitemap.xml during Publish

The basics

Search Engine Optimization is a fancy name for several basic tasks.

1. Assign a unique and meaningful title to every page in your website (69 characters or less).
2. Assign a unique and meaningful description to every page in your website (156 characters or less)
3. Add unique and meaningful content to every page in your website. Include keywords in the content.

In step 3, I encourage you to include keywords in the page’s content. These keywords will further enforce the meaning and value of the page when the page is indexed. But it is also important to write content for your users — not for Google. Use your best judgment when inserting keywords into the page’s content. For example, this page is about “RapidWeaver”, “Google”, and “Search Engine Optimization”. Notice how I use these keywords on this page.

Many customers may ask, “what about meta keywords?” Google does not use meta keywords to index and rank your website. Yahoo and Bing still index meta keywords although meta keywords have little to no effect on your PageRank.

Submit your website to the Google search engine

If your website is not automatically indexed by the Google search engine, go to http://www.google.com/addurl/ and enter your website’s URL.

Back to top

Ensure comprehensive and timely upates to Google’s search index

When you add new content to your RapidWeaver website, it may take several days for Google to automatically find and index the new content. You can expedite this process by submitting a sitemap.xml file when you publish new content to your RapidWeaver website.

What is a sitemap.xml file?

A sitemap.xml file is an XML document that lists every URL in your website. The Google search engine will reference your sitemap.xml file when it indexes or re-indexes your RapidWeaver website. You don’t need to know how to write a sitemap.xml file. It is only important that you know what a sitemap.xml file is, that it improves search engine optimization, and that it helps the Google search engine learn about new content on your RapidWeaver website. Below you will learn how to automatically create and submit a sitemap.xml file when you publish your RapidWeaver website.

Back to top

Setup a Google Webmasters account

A Google Webmasters account allows you to carefully control how your website is indexed by the Google search engine. You can review which pages have been indexed and which pages have not been indexed. You can also review problems that occur while the Google search engine indexes your RapidWeaver website (ie. missing pages, duplicate meta tags, etc). You can also manually submit a sitemap.xml file via your Google Webmasters account. But there is an easier way to submit a sitemap.xml file, which I will cover next.

How to automatically create and submit a sitemap.xml file when you publish your RapidWeaver website

LogHound provides a brilliant RapidWeaver plugin called SiteMap. SiteMap helps you easily add unique titles and descriptions to every page in your RapidWeaver website. SiteMap also automatically creates a sitemap.xml file when you publish your RapidWeaver website; SiteMap submits the sitemap.xml file to the Google search engine to notify Google about new content added to your website. LogHound’s SiteMap plugin is the easiest way to optimize your RapidWeaver website for modern search engines.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Sidebar Divider? Why is it not working?

   The sidebar divider is a horizontal line that divides the sidebar menu from any sidebar content shown below the sidebar menu. The sidebar divider will NOT be shown if there is no sidebar menu on the given page. To display a sidebar divider on a RapidWeaver page using Silk 4.1, ensure you have a sidebar menu on the given page and that you have chosen to show the sidebar divider in the Theme Variations panel.

2. Can I change the color of Silk’s main menu tabs?

   Due to technical difficulty, menu tab color pickers were not implemented into Silk. However, I do provide Photoshop templates with your Silk purchase. You can use these templates to create and install your own custom tabs. These templates are located in the Extras folder that came with your product download.
