Publishing changed pages

When I make any change, say changing a hyperlink property on my home page, I
get notices that all my components have changed. Therefore, every time I
publish to web after a minor change, I have to click "no" a zillion times as
it scrolls through every picture, sound, report, etc. included on my web
page. Is there any way to get it to recognize only changed items, like it
says? Thanks

John
 
It depends on where you are making the change, if the change is in a Shared Border area or your
navigation structure, then all pages using these components will be published.

If you have moved or restored your web or re-installed FP on your local machine and have never done
a complete publish, FP will always re-publish everything.

Actually, I don't have to change anything, and it will still go through
every component, telling me that they have changed. Under options, I have it
set to only
publish changed pages. Also, if I open "http://myweb.htm" to edit, and then
publish it, it will tell me it can't publish it to itself, and require that
I enter,
"http://www.myweb.htm" to publish (which goes to the same site).

First on your local machine, your web should not be named with a .com, .net, just a single folder
name.

If you have your site open in FP for editing, you would just save your pages, then when you are
ready use File Menu | Publish Web / Site.

You should always enter your URL for publish in the format of http://www.yourdomainname.com

Problem may be that the My Web folder on my local computer doesn't include
all the documents (subfolder contents) published on my web site. (One
subfolder gets updated using Onfolio Publisher). Thus, I just edit a
hyperlink on my home page to access the subfolder's index page). Maybe
there's a way to sinc the contents on my web page to my local folder. File|
Open Web was listing my web page address (not the local files), which than
lists all the content correctly.
Republishing, even with no changes, involves going through every component.
Thanks
 
John,

Are you saying that this Onfolio stuff does not reside within your local Web folder?

(Onfolio looks cool btw)

Rob
 
Right; Onfolio publishes the necessary files to the web directly to a folder
that I created from FP, but none of the files published to the web are
synced back
to the local web folder.

John,

You should convert the Onfolio folder to a subweb / subsite, then FP will bypass it when publish, as
long as you do not check include subweb/subsites.

You don't publish it - you're already working on the live site. Just save
the changes with save button or File > Save.
 
First on your local machine, your web should not be named with a .com, ..net, just a single folder
name.

On my computer, there is just a folder called "My Webs" with all the files and folders. There is no local *.com web file. Clicking on the folder opens all the files. Am I missing something here? The saveall functions only appear to be related to individual files. (I'm using FP 2000).

Oh....Well that will solve everything. Thanks.
 
Is your local web folder really a Web?...does it have the blue globe on it ?
 
I "think" the way I would approach it is...let Onfolio update a folder *outside* of your FP Web folder, then Import that folder periodically into your local Web. Then Publish.

I wouldn't let Onfolio update anything within FP Web though.

(of course I've never tried what your doing)
 
Thanks for the idea of importing the external folder into my local Web files (I had been looking for some copy/save function to do that). I guess my local web files serve the purpose of storage. I didn't realize that FP was able to change files on the web directly without publishing anything (I'll have to think about how it does that). There's no problem publishing an Onfolio document right into a folder that I initially created in FP (as long as there is no other index file in it, of course). Then I just add the shortcut to the folder from my homepage. I didn't realize that my job was over after saving.

The FP extensions are what allow you to edit live...they also keep track of other stuff. When you Import stuff into FP it knows where you put them and keeps track...
