Overview Report

[Eric Vey]

FP 2003 installed on Win2k site with FP extensions. **Not my server** and I
do not have access to Windows on the server. Shared hosting on
Intermedia.net.

This site is for a private club. The club has over a hundred local chapters
and about 40 of the local chapters have subwebsites hosted on the national
site. They all signed written agreements governing their subweb maximum
size, but some of them have discovered the "photo album" feature and are
loading up hundreds of photos. Of course, BANG! the site hit it's head.

Problem is while I can easily see the size of the national site, I must open
each subweb and inspect it's properties to see what they are up to. Very
time consuming.

What I need is a way, to crank out a report that shows me the whole site
(including subwebs) in one list. I would need to be able to print it out as
well since there are political issues.

Am I stupidly missing something? Is there already a way to do this?

Unfortunately, FP doesn't have a way to do this itself. Basically it views
subwebs as seperate containers, even when they are children of a root web.
This doesn't mean there aren't options outside of FP. You could try setting
user quotas on the account that each chapter uses to publish. This would
possibly be the easiest avenue because it doesn't require your continued
efforts to monitor, instead you just set the account quotas, let everyone
know about them, and then hopefully just remind them about the limits when
they can't figure out why they can't publish. If I remember correctly Win 2K
had some user quota tools built into it as part of the user management.

Hope this helps,
