Possible to share WebMatrix-developed site through file system? - webmatrix

I've just finished creating a sample web site that I'd like to show to someone. I could publish it to a web server, but if possible I'd prefer to send it as a .zip file for the other person to view. My site utilizes WebMatrix's SQLite features, otherwise it would be a simple matter.
Is there some way I can share this web site as a .zip file?
Thank you!

Tell the recipient to install WebMatrix, and when they receive your zip files, they should unzip it and then right click on the decompressed folder and choose Open as a Web Site with Microsoft WebMatrix, and then hit the Run button.

FrontPage Cannot Publish One Specific Web Page

I have a web site that is designed and published using FrontPage 2003. I have changed 5 web pages in that web site. When I publish them, FrontPage doesn't show any error messages. I find that 4 of the web pages are published correctly, but one is not. The web site still has the old version of that web page in it.
I have tried deleting the old version from both FrontPage and from my published web site. But the problem comes right back as soon as I publish the web page with the same name. For example, here's how I deleted the old version:
Have a new version ready (such as web-page-TEST.htm).
Delete the old version from FrontPage.
Publish the web site. When FrontPage offers to remove the old
version that is still in the published web site, I tell FrontPage
to delete it.
Rename the new version to use the original web page name (such
as web-page.htm).
Publish the web page again. When FrontPage offers me to remove the
TEST version that is still in the published web site, I tell
FrontPage to delete it.
When I use browser to open the web page, I find that it still
contains the old info.
I am quite sure that the content in web-page-X is correct. The reason is that I had published it under a different web page name (like web-page-X-TEST.htm), and it could be published without any problem, and it also worked fine.
I have run out of ideas. Please help. Thanks.

In Folders view, right-click the file that is not published, and then click Don't Publish to cancel the selection. If that doesn't work, here are some other troubleshooting tips which may help:
Web site changes are not visible on the destination Web server in FrontPage 2003 or in SharePoint Designer 2007

Is my Visual Studio project a web application or a web site?

First of all, when to use what and the overall differences between them has already been answered before. But I couldn't find an answer to this question:
Where can I check if my Visual Studio project is a Web Application or a Web Site?
The easiest way to differentiate between Web Site and Web Application is to look at the project's icons.
Web Site
has an icon without the used language
displays its physical root path
does not have a Properties folder
Web Application
has an icon including the used language
displays the project's name
has a Properties folder
To find out more about the technical differences between them ...
ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application?
Personally, one tell tale sign for me is whether the project folder actually contains a project file, or not.
You can see the icons differ slightly in VS - a web application has a layered world->docs->language icon and a web site just consists of world->docs.
Also, once opened within VS, right-clicking will display Properties and Property Pages for web applications and web sites respectively; further, on clicking this option you will be greeted with a dialog for the former and MDI tabbed form for the latter - the latter also exposes more functionality to control pre and post build steps and so forth.
A a web application will also display Properties and References special folders as part of the project tree in the Solution Explorer, whereas a web site does not necessarily; unless manually created for some reason (but they still won't be special - web sites use the bin folder for their references).
I recently found out (painfully) that web applications do not support Profiles which is not fun. Web sites however do support them and make life much easier. I noticed here people saying there are no major differences. This one is quite major and can make your life difficult if you select to make a web application instead of a web site.
Web application and Web Site are VS templates, nothing more. I doubt you will find this information directly somewhere in project. You can try to go through template differences list and guess how this particular project was created.
For Web Site project, once run (F5) you can change the code in the code-behind, the solution will allow it and it will compile on the fly when saved.
A Web Application project, however, will not allow this. This is the simplest way of being able to tell between the two.

Editing template in auto hosted joomla

How do I customise the template, mainly edit the top banner on
http://www.marisa.jhost.co.uk/
The joomla was auto setup and hosted, I seem to have no access to the file structure. (If I do I don't know how/where!)
I have found the templates in the Joomla Administrator (v1.8) under site template manager but there is no option to edit any of the templates or ability to upload a different one.
I just want to change the banner and the colours, help please!
Thanks.
If you can install extensions you could use an ftp component to do some basic file editing through the admin interface. I find ninjaXplorer to be the best one.
Try eXtplorer component. It is "Editors Pick" extension.
eXtplorer is a web-based File Management Component for all your needs. It has a desktop-application-like interface with drag&drop, grid and a directory tree and makes heavy use of the ExtJS Javascript Library.
You can use it to access and modify the files and directories on your server via FTP or direct file access.
