SALT LAKE CITY — January 15, 2002 — Campus Pipeline, Inc. today announced it has delivered the latest upgrade of the Campus Pipeline™ Web Platform 3.1, and six new products that expand the Web Platform’s enterprise functionality and customization capabilities.
The Campus Pipeline Web Platform serves as a foundation for the unified digital campus, integrating campus technologies, student information systems (SIS), learning management systems (LMS), academic resources, campus news, and other services into a central network that can be accessed through a single sign-on password from any Web-enabled computer.
The new products, extensions of the Campus Pipeline Web Platform product line, help to broaden a school’s digital campus by providing handheld device access; personalized content delivery; portal building tools for groups, classes, and campus organizations; and other features.
“These new products, coupled with the Web Platform, will make our digital campus a user-friendly and attractive resource for all our campus constituents,” said Andrew J. Golub, vice president of information resources at the University of New England, who participated in a beta program for the new products.
The six new products are bundled and sold as two separate packages. Line Extension Package 1 includes the following three products:
Personalized Content Delivery 1.0 – Enables institutions to make every constituent’s campus experience as unique and tailored as possible by delivering only those Web-page views and emails that are applicable to an individual’s specific role (i.e. student, faculty, alumni) or area of study. In addition, system administrators will save time by delegating content updating privileges to non-technical managers, rather than having to run updates through the IT office.
Handheld Sync 1.0 – Addresses the growing use of handheld devices and synchronizes the Campus Pipeline calendar with Palm™, Windows® CE, and Pocket PC® operating systems for anytime, anywhere wireless access.
Secure Transport 1.0 – Extends existing security features and prevents eavesdropping and data tampering by creating a point-to-point, secure data transport channel between the Campus Pipeline Web Platform and the school’s SIS, LMS, or other software integrated with the Web Platform.
Line Extension Package 2 includes the following three products:
Group Portal 1.0 – Improves the way campus groups form, interact, and stay connected through private Web communities that can be easily managed by non-technical group members, rather than through the IT department. The Group Portal includes a variety of community tools such as message boards, chat, photo gallery, calendar, and news postings. It also contains a streamlined workflow process that provides the institution with better control over both the groups and content created.
Group Maker 1.0 – Creates and administers group lists, making it possible to target specific audiences and send announcements based on any system attribute including area of study, year of graduation, etc. Use of this tool enables postage fees to increasingly be diverted to other areas.
Course Consolidator 1.0 – Allows instructors to save time by consolidating sections and managing a single course homepage, compared with managing separate course home pages for every course and course section taught. It also helps coordinate access to the tools and information sources needed for online learning environments, regardless of which LMS vendor the institution chooses.
The new version 3.1 of the Campus Pipeline Web Platform includes a new Course Portal feature that provides easier access to Campus Pipeline course tools, as well as those from any LMS. Version 3.1 also includes portal content, directory, and messaging server upgrades.
In addition to integration software products and applications, Campus Pipeline also provides customized technical and functional consulting and training services. Each is designed to support the entire scope of a Campus Pipeline Web Platform implementation, from assessing campus readiness and project planning to installation and rollout. Premium service bundles include process and organizational design, development and integration of specialized technologies, training for students, faculty, and staff, and campus-wide communication support.
“Campus Pipeline quickly and effectively trained our staff, and provided excellent support throughout the beta program,” said Susan Mellady, director of information technology and lead of the Campus Pipeline project at the University of New England. “We are pleased to have participated in the 3.1 Web Platform and line extension product beta and look forward to working with Campus Pipeline as we continue to expand and unify our digital campus.”
“Campus Pipeline products deliver unmatched features and applications with out-of-the-box simplicity,” said Andy Cooley, senior vice president of marketing and product management at Campus Pipeline. “Customers from more than 125 enterprise implementations of the Campus Pipeline Web Platform tell us that having the applications, portal, and integration capability all in one package simplifies the process of building a digital campus. The openness and integration capabilities of the Web Platform help ensure that the digital campus can grow based on campus needs, incorporating the systems and applications that best serve constituents now and in the future.”

Background
Because of the way framed web pages are created, search engine robots have a difficult time spidering sites built in frames. As a general rule, search engine robots are not very good at executing client-side code, and framed pages are "built" on the client side. The best way to make a website accessible to the robots is to take it out of frames, but what can be done if the site absolutely must remain in frames?
How frames are built
Typically the "framing" page--the page that includes the tags--does not contain any links to the rest of the website; rather, it contains only information necessary for the browser to construct the framed pages.
SuperWidget XYZ from XYZ
Figure 1--index.html: the "framing" page
The framing page loads the files named in the tags into the frames defined in the framing page. In our example, they look like this:
Navbar
Page 1 Figure 2--navbar.html
Page 1
Welcome to XYZ, home of the new and improved SuperWidget XYZ. We have the best widgets available anywhere today, and at half the price of most leading widgets!
Figure 3--page1.html
What if you can't do frames? The section
One of the tricks that was incorporated into HTML with the advent of frames was the recognition that a page may be accessed by older browsers that are incapable of rendering framed pages: they literally cannot understand the tag. This is why there also exists the tag. This then allows users on browsers that are not frames-enabled to at least see something on a website. Typically, the section is wasted on a message telling the user to get a newer browser, thus:
SuperWidget XYZ from XYZ
This web site must be viewed using a frames-capable web browser. Your web browser, however, is not capable of displaying frames.
Figure 4--index.html with added section
This page now has information that the robot can spider and include in the search engine database. Unfortunately, you will now be known as the website with the content:
This web site must be viewed using a frames-capable web browser. Your web browser, however, is not capable of displaying frames. Figure 5--search engine listing with poor text
Text in section SuperWidget XYZ from XYZ
Welcome to XYZ, home of the new and improved SuperWidget XYZ. We have the best widgets available anywhere today, and at half the price of most leading widgets!
Figure 6--index.html with better text
This is a dramatic improvement, because we now have real content on the page that the robot can read and include in the search engine database. You have now upgraded your search engine listing to this:
Welcome to XYZ, home of the new and improved SuperWidget XYZ. We have the best widgets available anywhere today, and at half the price of most leading widgets! Unfortunately, this is still not enough.
Navigation in section SuperWidget XYZ from XYZ
Welcome to XYZ, home of the new and improved SuperWidget XYZ. We have the best widgets available anywhere today, and at half the price of most leading widgets!
Page 1 Figure 8--index.html with added hyperlinks
Now you have the best of both worlds: you have text that the robot can grab, and you also have links that the robot can follow to access the rest of your site. As long as you have links to all of the pages on your website that you want the robot to access, you are home free now, search engine-wise. The robot follows the link to the file "page2.html", for example, and indexes the text on that page. How useful this newly-indexed content is to your visitor is now up to you.
Why is site framed?
People use framed sites for a number of reasons: ease in navigation, uniform appearance throughout a site, keeping your company name front-and-center, and so on. In other words, there is probably a reason why you wanted to display the pages on your site (file1.html, file2.html, file3.html) within the frames designated in the "framing" page. Your search engine entries, however, will not keep the pages in this configuration--remember that the robot didn't do frames, so the search engine database knows nothing of frames now either. That means the hyperlink created in the search engine listing will load only the individual page (file2.html), and not put it in its overall context. That's not what you wanted, or you would have designed the site that way!
Loading page into frames
In order to force the user's browser to load a given page into the framed environment that you wanted, you must employ some JavaScript sleight-of-hand. Specifically, you need to make each page aware that it wants to load only within the frames that you have designed. This is a two-step process that involves placing some JavaScript code in each page on the site.
Individual pages
For each of the individual pages, you need to add an awareness whether they are loaded into a frame, or sitting by themselves as an individual document in the browser window. This is accomplished by adding the following JavaScript to the page, typically within the HEAD section:
Figure 9--JavaScript for individual pages
You will replace some of the parameters here with names more appropriate to your situation:
replace "frameset.html" with the name of the page on your site that has the tags in it replace "right" with the name of the frame on the frameset page into which you want to load the current page Let's implement this for the page "page1.html", which we want loaded into the frame named "right" that is defined in the framing page "index.html". Remember to add your meta tags and give the page a meaningful title. Note the substitutions referenced above.

Page 1 Figure 10--individual page with JavaScript added
The "framing" page
For the "framing" page, there are two additional pieces of JavaScript that must be added. The first is a JavaScript function that is placed in the section of the page:
Figure 11--JavaScript for "framing" page
There are no substitutions in this code. Place it exactly as shown.
The other piece of code that must be placed is an "onLoad" event handler, that is placed in the tag, like this:
Figure 12--onLoad code for "framing" page
Remember that your frameset may have "cols" or "rows" attributes, and the numbers may vary. When we have it all together, the completed "framing" page will now look like this:
SuperWidget XYZ from XYZ
Welcome to XYZ, home of the new and improved SuperWidget XYZ. We have the best widgets available anywhere today, and at half the price of most leading widgets!
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3
Figure 13--all components placed in "framing" page
Completion
Once you have made these changes for the "framing" page and all of the individual pages, you are now ready for the search engine robots to visit your site. They will be able to access all of the pages in your site, and when your visitors click on your listing in the search engines, your individual pages will load in the way you designed them to work.

Unfortunately, most robots cannot navigate through this page. They do not understand the tags, and are unable to move through this page to the pages "navbar.html" or "page1.html". Without being able to move through here, there is literally nothing of interest for the robot to index, so there will really be no information in a search engine listing, if the site is listed at all.
This is probably not what you want your potential visitors to see when they look in the search engine listings. Since the robot can spider at least this page, it only makes sense to put your best foot forward and put some real content into the section. That way, your search engine listing will actually tell something about your site, rather than just annoy people because they choose to use a browser that doesn't do frames.
Figure 7--search engine listing with better text
Most websites comprise multiple pages. Even though you may have a lot of navigation links in your navbar.html file, the robot will never see it. That means that if you want the robot to crawl the rest of your site, you will need to give it some links in the section of the page. To duplicate the navbar functionality, you will need to add those links to the text, like this:
