Re: publishing question

It's weird LadyEye, when the face off movies is actually in the public html folder, when you double click on it the bear_vs_tiger file is not there.

Okay, no worries .. you are getting there .. (the bear_vs_tiger video may not have moved)

Now you need to take each of your newly named movies that are on your computer and upload them via the ftp method into the faceoffmovies folder ...

Then for instance your bear_vs_tiger.wmv file should be found via

http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/faceoffmovies/bear_vs_tiger.wmv

Re: publishing question

By using the FTP method I take it you mean by highligthting the bear_vs_tiger video, then going to to either "move to" or "copy to" and then save the video into the face off movies folder?

Re: publishing question

Hi ....

You now have a folder ready to upload your videos to ...

This folder is faceoffmovies and is in your public_html directory - which is the folder for your domain.

Now you will want to upload all your videos to this very folder called faceoffmovies

to do so via ftp

open up your blue voda webbuilder
go to tools
go to ftp manager
go to connect
once connected - on the right side of your screen find and double click the file folder named faceoffmovies - remember this is or should not be inside public_html folder
then on the left side of your screen click through your folders until you find all your movies
when you find your movies, take each one, one by one and slide it over to the right side of the screen into the faceoffmovies folder ... (you will see them go over)
once you have placed them in this folder apply the new links to your pages for the videos and republish the pages ...

the links will be http:// followed by

yourdomainname.com/nameoffolder/nameofvideo.wmv

Re: publishing question

What do you mean by apply the links LadyEye? I thought you just click on "browse file" and then double click on the video you want, and then it's done.

Thanks again LadyEye for all your help.

On this page for instance - you need to apply the links to your videos on this page ...

http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/afo.html

So when you go to this page and click watch bear vs tiger - your video will show ...

You are supposed to be uploading your videos to your account via the ftp method as opposed to inserting them all on the one page since you were having problems publishing the page with all of the videos on it at once...

so instead, you are uploading your videos to your newly created folder and then you are going to apply the link to each video on the afo page and any other pages you have on the go for videos ..

Re: publishing question

Well I did that LadyEye and they are still not working. I typed in the navigation bar properties dialogue window, in the URL bar.

"http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/faceoffmovies/bear_vs_tiger.wmv

And my movies are in the faceoffmovies folder in the FTP html folder.

Re: publishing question

Okay

Show me a screenshot of how you have this situated, like you did a few posts back ...

remember the name of the video has to be identical to what you type for the url .. I noticed some are .avi and some are .wmv - be sure you have that correct for which movie is which ..

Re: publishing question

Here you go. You cant see all of the link because it's to long, but I have definatley typed the "http://" correctly.

[LadyEye]

Re: publishing question

Ok and the videos are uploaded to this directory - the new folder you created, faceoffmovies - right? Can you show a screenshot of your videos in this file folder - just go into control panel, then file manager and browse and find your files ... can us show us that

Here.

Re: publishing question

G'morning Tygra - today is the day your videos are going to work .. I can feel it, lol ..

Okay, I see what the problem is - your faceoffvideos folder that you created and your video bear_vs_tiger.wmv are not in the correct area

Here is what you need to do:

Delete the following that you see in the screenshot

1. faceoffmovies folder
2. bear_vs_tiger.wmv

Please be careful and DO NOT delete public_html folder or you site will be gone .. so pay particular attention to be sure you don't accidentally do this ..

Once you have deleted those two folders and are looking at the same page as the screenshot showing us - do the following:

1. Click on the yellow folder icon of the public_html - this will bring you inside of the public_html directory
2. Once inside - create a new folder called faceoffmovies
3. Once that folder is created, click on it's yellow folder icon and go inside of the faceoffmovies folder
4. Once inside of faceoffmovies choose upload and upload your videos inside of this faceoffmovies folder.

Think of it as three stackable boxes:

First box - (public_html) - open it up and find 2nd box (faceoffmovies) - open up 2nd box and find the prize (bear_vs_tiger.wmv)

Okay .. and then once your have this one movie bear_vs_tiger.wmv in place and working, then upload all of your other videos to this same place with their new names you have given them.

Re: publishing question

Still no joy LadyEye, I dont think we are ever going to get them to work.

Look, I did what you said.

Re: publishing question

Hi tygra ...

actually that is not quite right yet ...

it needs to be public_html not public_ftp

1. Click on the yellow folder icon of the public_html - this will bring you inside of the public_html directory
2. Once inside - create a new folder called faceoffmovies
3. Once that folder is created, click on it's yellow folder icon and go inside of the faceoffmovies folder
4. Once inside of faceoffmovies choose upload and upload your videos inside of this faceoffmovies folder.

Re: publishing question

Hi LadyEye.

Right, it's working when I click on the link in the control panel, it;s under where it says "file URL" with the address you told me to write, but it still not working on my site.
