What's WebMerge?

"...easy, low-cost Web publishing software to create a database-derived site that doesn't require any complex Web database infrastructure." - Macworld Magazine

 

"Webmerge is one of those software programs that you wonder 'Where has this been all my life' after you use it." - AffiliateWatcher.com

WebMerge lets you export your database to HTML, generating static Web pages from your database content.

WebMerge works with any database or spreadsheet that exports in tab-delimited, Merge, or other tabular format, including FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access, and AppleWorks. Using HTML template pages you can make with your favorite authoring tool, WebMerge makes a new HTML page from the data in each record of the exported file. WebMerge can also create index pages with links to each of the detail pages. Generated pages can be hosted on any Web server - even AOL - without the need for a specialized database hosting solution.

WebMerge provides support for multi-column index page layouts, a new WM-FieldInclude tag which lets you insert a text file or HTML file referenced by a path in your field data, enhanced support for JavaScript and CSS in navigation tags, and a few other minor enhancements. This version also provides enhanced documentation and examples, addresses all bugs reported to date, and is even faster in some operations than previous versions.

WebMerge requires no DLLs, extensions, CGIs, or other components. Everything you need to start generating pages is included in one easy-to-use application.

A wide variety of businesses, universities, and other organizations rely on WebMerge daily, ranging from Web designers to the US Library of Congress. Most of our customers tell us that WebMerge paid for itself with the first project they used it on.

Fast

"Perhaps the most wonderful aspect of WebMerge is the ease of making updates. Make a quick change to the data, click a couple buttons...and it is done."

What's new in WebMerge 2.6:

CSS support has been added to tables. You can now specify CSS classes for the table, row, and cells with the TableClass, RowClass, and Cell class tags, respectively.


The new WM-BBCode tag allows you very simple BBCode syntax in your database fields to describe web content.


Improved performance of the modulo operator for the WM-If tag.


WebMerge now handles pagination of index files more robustly with some combinations of settings.


Improved FTP Settings window in both appearance and functionality.


Fixed bug in which index number serial numbers weren't padding correctly if the padding options were chosen.


Added better error-checking in the Sources tab setting delimiters.


Various other enhancements and bug fixes. All reproducible issues have been addressed for this release.

What's new in WebMerge 2.5:

• The options for creating and naming Index pages have been completely revised to allow greater flexibility and control.
  
  
• Enhanced compatibility with Windows Vista and Mac OX 10.5 (Leopard).
  
  
• Optimized performance on Intel-based Macs.
  
  
• This is the first version of WebMerge available for the Linux operating system.
  
  
• Improved auto-discovery of source file formats: When loading a source file, WebMerge will examine the format of the file and attempt to set the delimiters in the Sources tab appropriately. For most common formats, this will automatically set them up correctly, but the user can still change them if needed.
  
  
• Improved generation of tables on index pages. In earlier versions it was possible to use certain combinations of tags and settings which would cause WebMerge to fail to generate the closing </table> tag for generated tables. At this time all known issues with table generation have been resolved.
  
  
• Added a new maxLen attribute for the WM-Field tag to truncate text from a specified field to a given length. Text is truncated on word boundaries to preserve readability, and any trunacted text is indicate with the addition of an ellipsis at the end if it. This option can be useful when you want to display a portion of things like long product descriptions.
  
  
• Generated files names now allow a greater range of characters. Earlier versions were too conservative in disallowing characters which cannot be used in valid files names on web servers. Version 2.5 now generates pages using the full range of allowable characters.
  
  
• A new len function has been added to the WM-If tag to allow comparisons on the length of data in a given field.
  
  
• Added a new Preferences window, available as the last item in the Edit menu.This window is now where you can change the hyphenation option, which lets you choose to have WebMerge replace invalid characters in file names with a hyphen (default) or underscore. This functionality was formerly in a tool named "Hyphenator" in the Tools menu.
  
  
• Added new option to Preferences to set the line endings for generated pages. By default, WebMerge will generate pages using the line endings native to the platform it's running on (CRLF for Windows, CR for OS X, and LF for Linux). This new Preference option lets you change this default behavior if you need to integrate your pages with other tools which may require specific line endings.
  
  
• Fixed bug in which saving a file with no source would generate a "Cannot find source file" next time the file was opened in WebMerge.
  
  
• Various minor bug fixes. All reproducible issues have been addressed for this release.
