    Publishing Question

    Hi,

    I did post in the Publishing forum yesterday, but as I've not had had any answers yet, it could mean that..

    a. no one reads that section.
    b. no one understands my problem

    or

    c. I'm being ignored for asking dumb questions! (hopefully not!)

    Anyways....

    I've previously published a holding page in BV with VH.

    Fine, this seems to work

    http://www.steeltimeltd.co.uk

    now my site is ready to go live (I don't think I'll ever finish it though, so many other things I can do to improve it!)

    Soooooo, I've published all of the pages; this seemed to be successful, but all I get is my original holding page when I go to the site...

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Pete

    Cant see any links to other pages on your home page. Just a piece of duct your logo & some text with your address &
    This website is currently under Construction.
    Did you publish all your pages top public-html ?

      You have two index pages. One is index.html, the other is Index.html. Publish your new page as index and delete Index.

        Tom's got it!
        You also need to rename your links or pages to match on your other pages. Preferably all should be lower case text.
        Also noticed that no images are showing up. Possibility that its an add on site & the link protection is on?

            None of the pages work in menu. I can't see any pictures. And it's not good, that new links opens up in new tab. Change that from _blank to _self

              Deep breaths.....

              Okay soooooo...

              I've got the new page to publish... only no pictures, just boxes where they should be..

              Also, only the homepage button seems to work... all of the others don't find their destination...

                It's a good practice to do the following from the very
                beginning when you start working on your website:

                If you don't have .htaccess file on the server, you can create one using MS Notepad and upload to the server.

                In .htaccess file, type the following one statement - watch for the spaces.

                ErrorDocument 404 /404-error-page.html

                upload .htaccess to the server under public_html.

                In BlueVoda, create
                404-error-page.html and add some message to it.

                It's a good practice to do it now.

                In
                404-error-page.html file, include the same menu. So as long as you are not ready, at least it will show the page all the time instead of giving you the 404 error with the menu on it.

                  About Images

                  Another thing you can do is to connect to your server
                  through BlueVoda FTP, and see where your images are.

                  Normally, the images are in the /images sub-directory under public_html.

                  If you have them under public_html which is your
                  http://www.steeltimeltd.co.uk/, you should point your link
                  to where the images are on the server.

                  If you don't find the images on the server, then I suggest
                  you create /images sub-directory under public_html
                  and manually upload all the images you need.

                  On your BV page, Just point to the exact location on the server where each image is.

                    About files

                    The same check you can do for your files as for images.

                    See if you point to the correct sub-directory, if any.

                        Out of curiosity! Have you got your publish pop up box set to publish all files?

                            The Publish All Files choice means that every object on the page you are publishing will be republished. Otherwise, you can choose to republish only objects that you've modified. No need to delete all files.

                              Have you checked the field where the arrow is pointing? Should be on publish all files.
