Front Page 2003 Big question

[Queensway]

Dear friends:

FP 2003 May 15, 2006

My present web site, namely www.latinmass.bravepages.com
was created by this author, some years ago with FP 2000; having currently
some 5,100 files and hundreds of images inserted. . Before I install a newly
purchased FP 2003 ; does it mean that I must start from "scratch" in order
to make use of the new and wonderful features of FP 2003 that I may wish to
apply to my current website. I am currently using FP 2K Themes as well
throughout my website. To put the question in another way: Can I transfer
all the "Formatted Data" in my current FP 2K web over and into the newly
installed FP 2003 program and revise or make the useful-feature-changes from
within the new FP2003 software?

Grateful for any help. Thank you.

Dr. Gordon J. Fimio

Just open the live/remote site in FP (must have the FP extensions installed) and publish a copy to
your local PC, then you can edit it with FP2003 while still having your live site intact.

Thank you Mr Rowe for your prompt response. In anticipation of delivery to
me of FP 2003 in 7 days , I should like to ask the following question (so) :

1] I presume that I may install the FP-03 while keeping FP 2K on my HD ,
for now. I can proceed to revise the "Copied" version of the "Old" ,
locally, and when the metamorphoses is completed to the New current version
, I may publish the same , i.e. the themes and all the formatted changes and
all other newly created features will automatically be applied to my remote
site. [ Fp extensions having been previously installed]
2] Is this correct or have I missed something?
3] Do you have any further sage "caveats"?

Thank you

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Yes, as long as you publish the modified copy from your local back to the live/remote server using
the Change Pages Only option.

Here's what I would do (again presuming you have FP extensions installed &
working on the remote server):

Open FP2003
File | Open Site
type in http://www.latinmass.bravepages.com/

Then
File | Publish Site
now enter your location you normally save your webs to on your hd...only
specify a NEW web name...lets say latinmass2
do a complete/full Publish to this new location.

This way you'll have your old site and your newly copied site under a
different name and your old one as a fall-back.

I have been wondering about this, too, but I'm afraid I don't understand Mr.
Rowe's response. I have FP 2000 also--is that the version whose FP
extensions need to be installed? I need clearer directions, because I guess
it's time I upgraded to FP 2003.

Also, I am trying to post a new question, but when I click on New, the
dialog box does not come up (this has happened before). If someone reading
this could explain this, I'd appreciate it.

FP98 open/publish sites on Windows IIS servers running FP2000 or FP2002 extensions
FP2000 open/publish sites on Unix/Linux/Windows servers running FP2000 or FP2002 extensions
FP2002 open/publish sites on Unix/Linux/Windows servers running FP2000 or FP2002 extensions
FP2003 open/publish sites on Unix/Linux/Windows servers running FP2000 or FP2002 extensions

There are not FP2003 extensions

Dear Mr Giordano:

Thank you for your response . Thanks to one and all.
All the suggestions have merit.
I will test them, when I receive the FP-03 software.

Here's what I would do (again presuming you have FP extensions installed &
working on the remote server):

Open FP2003
File | Open Site
type in http://www.latinmass.bravepages.com/

Then
File | Publish Site
now enter your location you normally save your webs to on your hd...only
specify a NEW web name...lets say latinmass2

different name and your old one as a fall-back.
