Linking to sub folder

Re: Linking to sub folder

One last question, the other pages in the owners folder,to link to them in this folder do I use http://owners.nb-hollinhurst.com/pagename, or should it go to public_html/owners/pagename. Also, do I have to have the password protection of to publish to this folder. Thanks. M.

Re: Linking to sub folder

Dont get confused between publishing....public_html
and linking your pages..............
What you have now is your public dir(where most of your files/pages are stored..........
AND a protected sub dir with your index page.

All your nav buttons (I would only have 1)that point to your protected area (owners) should go to
your sub dir index page........then a fresh set of nav buttons on your protected index page will then point to the other pages in your protected area.

On the question of publishing to your protected area:

Your main password gives you access rights to your Main directory and
ALL sub directories.

Hope thats a little clearer...............

Re: Linking to sub folder

So what you are saying is that all the other pages that I want to protect should be published out side the owners folder, and the index page inside the folder. The index would then be protected with the nav buttons pointing to the pages which are outside. I have published all the pages to the owners folder, should I now delete them and republish in the nb-hollinhurst folder. Sorry for being a bit slow here, but are they safe outside of the protected folder? M.

Re: Linking to sub folder

I still can't seem to understand what you have done. You have probably set the "owners" folder as subdomain of "nb-hollinburst.com", but the folder "owners" is not a subfolder of "nb-hollinburst" ?
Is "nb-hollinburst.com" the main domain of your account, or is it an addon domain of some other main account ?

Re: Linking to sub folder

This is what I wrote above:

then a fresh set of nav buttons on your protected index page will then point to the other pages in your protected area.

keep all your Protected pages in your owners sub directory......

Your owners index will then point to the other pages in your owners dir.....

ie. your owners index page will have one of these buttons with

http://nb-hollinhurst.com/owners/contact.html

and so on for all your nav buttons ON YOUR OWNERS INDEX page.

Re: Linking to sub folder

There is no nb-hollinhurst.com/owners folder. Or at least i can't find it. That's why i keep asking you if nb-hollinhurst.com is the main domain or an addon domain.

Re: Linking to sub folder

Mickey,
Your username/password screen is now coming up ok from:
........ http://owners.nb-hollinhurst.com/


. naval, he is using a sub domain..............

Re: Linking to sub folder

David, i understang that he's using a subdomain, BUT, there is no nb-hollinhurst/owners folder. It there was one, and with an "index" page published, it should also be coming up typing www.nb-hollinhurst.com/owners/index.html . It doesn't. So my guess is that he has the "owners" folder at the same level of his nb-hollinhurst folder (Mickey said he has such a folder in his post #18. So my guess is that nb-hollinhurst is an addon domain, not the main domain, and that's why he has also a "nb-hollinhurst" folder as well as a "owners" folder

Re: Linking to sub folder

naval:
You are quite right, there is not an owners folder at

https://www.nb-hollinhurst.com/owners/

but it would seem that mickey has been trying different things
so the files are not indicative of the true state at this moment.

All his required pages are there and now that his user/password screen
is working, he just needs to republish to owners.nb-hollinhurst.com
to get what he wants......as long as the links from his owners index are
setup properly........

Re: Linking to sub folder

Thanks David for your help I think I have got it all working now. Sorry Navel for not coming back to you sooner. Yes nb-hollinhurst is an add on domain, which was making it harder for me to work out. I should of said this earlier but I have not got it quite clear in brain the structure of web design. Getting there slowly though. Once again thanks for your help. M.
