Publish any database or spreadsheet
with templates from any HTML editor
on any web server.
And then automate it.
Yep. It’s that easy.
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 Microsoft Excel. 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 without the need for a specialized database hosting solution.
WebMerge 2.4 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.
WebMerge works locally on your hard drive, uploading it pages using standard FTP. It requires no extensions to your system, ans no special CGIs or other components on your server. 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.

"This product works incredibly quickly and smoothly. I outputted 19,000 hotel records neatly and quickly into templates that were extremely easy to put together. Workflow is actually fun now – watching this thing make a huge interlinked and organised website that rocks in the search engines all at the press of a button and in under a minute is such a pleasure!"

"WebMerge has been invaluable to me to significantly upgrade our site in an efficient way. Combined with Filemaker and a good html editor such as GoLive or Dreammaker, WebMerge is incredibly flexible. Webmerge has become an indispensible tool for me.
"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.
"Thank you Richard for a superb tool. And thank you for the first rate support that you and your contributing experts provide. The learning curve was swift."

"I searched high and low to find a simple solution to the conversion of my FileMaker Pro files into pages that don’t look like some kind of database junk listings.
"WebMerge is still the best solution I have seen yet. I use weekly to generate 41 different categories of items into 200+ pages for my web site in about 90 seconds. Great program!"
- JW Freeman

"This is a GREAT product . . . powerful, logical, intuitive, and reasonably priced. I love it.
"I found WebMerge by searching for something like "mail merge" but for web pages. I thought I might find something, but I never expected to find something done by SMART PEOPLE.
"Thank you. I totally relate to what you’ve done."

I would like some clarification on the upgrade policy and price for Webmerge. I bought this from MacZot in 2007 and have only played around with it so far. I have not had a database to use it with, but I just new I would some day, and thought it would be a good tool to have for when I did. I was actually just recommending it to someone very recently.
When I opened it today, however, I saw the notation that with this “free version” I can create up to 20 html pages. I checked to make sure my license was entered and registered, and it was, so I was a little confused as to why it was being called a “free version.” After looking through the website, I saw that is apparently because my license is a couple of years old, and I need to upgrade.
What I would like clarification on is this: if I had been using a database that created say 50 html pages and my license needed to be upgraded, I would actually not be allowed to continue using my previous version, because it would not create all the html pages, since it somehow reverts to the free/demo version. Do I have that right? How much does it cost to upgrade the license?

via Perl:
$line = “” . join(“”, split(/\t/, $line)) . “\n”;

Ouch! That’ll teach me to try and be clever. This probably won’t work, either.
$line = “%lt;tr%gt;%lt;td%gt;” . join(“%lt;/td%gt;%lt;td%gt;”, split(/\t/, $line)) . “%lt;/td%gt;%lt;/tr%gt;\n”;

Forget it. I’m an idiot who can’t type.

Darn, no comment from the developer. Well, I may use this in the future, but if I have to buy it every year or so, I guess I will wait till I have a legitimate reason, instead of just keeping it in my arsenal.
Maybe the answer was in Tommy’s coded messages, and I just can’t figure them out. :)

ha, ha Nevermind, NOW my original comment (on December 28, 2009 @ 6:16 pm) is showing up just fine here. But as I said…w-e-i-r-d.

Those who bought an earlier version of WebMerge you can upgrade to v2.5 (and the forthcoming v2.6, currently in development) at no charge. Just download the latest version and re-register using your existing license code (in the program see Help->Register).
