Custom counters

Pipe

Hi, (Tom Pepper,Tom A Rowe)

I am still having trouble with the placing of my custom
counter
created in Photoshop 6. saved as a 100x25pixels.gif
(Divided by 10,
so it should be good) into "my pictures" imported to
frontpage>images

I go throu the "insert, web componant, hitcounter,
finish, properties, click custom button, add address
(/images/counter.gif), click ok, [hit counter]
appears on design page, save. I then use my CuteFTP 6
client to
publish my new index.htm and my counter.gif (which
is still in images). cant see image on design/preview/or
when i go to web browser. This seems to be the norm,
(only to seeing
the image when uploaded, which I am not)

On my web it has the red x and the available space for
counter. My host server says the frontpage exts. are
enabled.

As on another post it said "The hit counter requires
FrontPage extensions
and to publish to a server with extensions you can't
use ftp:// you *must* use http://websitename.com, which
i have tried,
but does not work. I have tried FrontPage>click File
Publish Web...
Click to expand...
For the publish location I enter http://websitename.com
and click OK.
does not work.

Another poster said "the relative path to the custom
image may be incorrect"
when I "insert, web componant, hitcounter,
finish, properties, click custom button, add address
(/images/counter.gif), is this address not suitable?, do
I have to put
MyDocuments/MyWebSites/images/counter.gif (I have also
done this)!!

sorry for this ...

Any Help wud be good!!
:)

You can *not* use ftp to publish to a server with extensions because the counter won't work if you
do.

You *must* publish using FrontPage and publish to http://yourwebsite.com

You must HTTP publish to the host with enabled server extensions, *not* ftp.
FP components such as the hit counter require that. Also, FTP will corrupt
the extensions.

....bottom line is; if your server does have FP extensions...you now must have the host repair them (or if your server has a user control panel - uninstall/install the extensions yourself).

then you can start using the HTTP method of Publishing from FP.

Publishing with CuteFTP is your mistake. Using FTP (in any form) will break the
frontpage extensions. Use Frontpage http: to publish - if your server doesn't
have the extensions, then you can't use the hit counter.
