Title: Saving in folders
Post by Yitzieross on Oct 14^th, 2007, 6:39pm

Here is a tough one. On my website for my class (gradefourrocks.com), I have a page where my students can click their name, and go to a password protected page with their own grades. I saved all these files in my original page, and just upload them separately by using "Publish current page". Is there a way to upload them all at once that each page would go to a specific folder? That would save me so much time!

Hi! No. Usually you go this way, you save the main website into a specific file, e.g. mysite.aeh, then for a reserved area you save all pages within another website, e.g. reservedareapages.aeh
Then you always publish the mainwebsite to the main folder, and the second file to the second folder.

OK. Well I found out the hard way, that if I want the page to be viewable, I have to go to the hypertext settings and make each page the "Home" page before uploading it, or it'll show up as actual folders on the internet. (Something about index.htm?) Is there a way to have each page in a file get it's own index.htm file?

in case you want to create single pages within individual folders, and want them to be shown when the user type just the folder on the browser bar, e.g. www.visualvision.com/folder123/ the simplest thing is to create a separate EWE file for each of these pages, and use only the main page of each file.

This way the page is named index.htm and this is the standard setting that tells to the web server what to do (most web servers, when you type www.visualvision.com/folder123/ they show actually www.visualvision.com/folder123/index.htm )

You can not have different index.htm pages within a single EWE file/site that would be a mess to permit this. Normal users do manage 1 file for 1 website, with EWE that does manage the file names. And by the way it is definitely not ok to have several index.htm files (except for the very particular situation you want to create, with files within different folders...)

In other words you are choosing to create a quite complex structure so it's up to you to manage it.
Usually, should you want to obtain simple names, instead creating real folders you create some redirections, see for example this one
www.visualvision.com/contact/

you click and you are redirected to the actual page. To obtain this you must do a manual trick with a FTP software and you must write some HTML, of course. Maybe for you it's simpler to proceed your way.

Thanks. I think my way is easier then saving each of the 24 students in a separate file. The only issue I can have besides renaming each one the home page temporarily, is that when I update the main site, is sends all the information of each boy to the main folder. Nevertheless, I don't think anyone can access it unless they know the correct web info.
