Design Problem Viewing LinkBars

T

Tom Wnuk

I'm using FP 2003 and when working in design mode my LinkBars (left border
from Nav Struct) fails to display but the production site is perfect.

I always see the following in design mode:
'Edit the properties for this link bar to display hyperlinks here'

This use to work and one day just stopped. It does the same whether I'm
connected directly to the site or working off-line. It appears to be a FP
tool problem not a site problem but then....

Anyone experience this before? Any solutions?

thanks

You have to add the new page to navigation...in Navigation.

Yes, Nav is and has always been established - it's working fine on the
production site. It's just my local view from within FP that is no longer
working. At one time it all worked just fine until someone else made a
change to a page from another PC. After getting those updates it became
really unpredictable.

Thanks for your suggestion though. It may need drastic measures...

Welp...if your online copy is good you can just do a full Publish down to your local HD.

Or, on the local machine you can try Recalculate Hyperlinks.

But, usually that message means that the page is out of the navigation structure and needs to be added back in - did you check in Navigation on your local copy to see if that page is in there?

Navigation being at: View | Navigation - make sure the page with the message is shown in the navigation structure.

The page in question is the Home Page (index.html) and has always been
there. It's really weird. I created a new local site and published the
remote site to it, same thing.

I'm getting close to starting over or re-installing FP or dropping these
links all together. I'm hoping what folks say about FP simply aren't true.
The site is hosted on a Windows box not UNIX.

Thanks again.

Check the file name used by your host in your online "production" site for the home page
It may be index.htm and not index.html (or default.htm / default.html)
If so, rename your local home page file name to match it
