How to make the site root-relative links work in DW and the server?

See details on buggy behavior DW image link, below. My question is:

(1) how the site root-relative links work in DW and the server? Or...

(2) how to reliably automate change of hundreds of links relative to the root of the form

/images/image.jpg relating to the document?

In other words, to

.. /images/image.jpg or

.. /.. /images/image.jpg or

.. /.. /.. /images/image.jpg etc... According to the location of the directory.

The old format (/images/image.jpg ) used to work properly in my previous Setup of DW 8 but appear grey in DW after 'redevelopment' of mac cs5.5 DW. (they look good on the server, but it is difficult to change the image-heavy pages locally when they are all gray).

I tried to change the files to how DW creates relative links root now:

/public_html/images/image.jpg, which is a flow of root very easy, attractive, since there is a one-to-one mapping. These look great in DW, but are detailed on the server!

I looked at the "Advanced" site configuration, and it seemed that it would be possible for the nuke part /public_html/ of my server info... but it also seemed that there was the potential to do damage, modification of these parameters, which are automatically generated from our server connection settings, which seem to work.

The "links from the document / site root" toggle... did change how DW interprets existing links, or simply change the value by default when you add a link?  I did 80% of the file... before paper links I wondered if relative to the root is not better?

Of course, it seems less ambiguous for all these pictures if theres a way to make the relative root works for the mode of creation of DW, DW link checking and server.

Summary of the buggy behavior: (see the test with images here)


'old style' link of the root of the site

/images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg

Design veiw in DW: broken (grey w / broken icon)

Check DW a link: "external link" (i.e., unverifiable, + file might appear orphaned)

Browser: good

Ease of switching: n/a (existing format)

'new style' link site root

/public_html/images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg

Design veiw in DW: good

Link check in DW: good

Browser: broken

Ease of switching: easy

Link to document

.. /.. /images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg

Design veiw in DW: good

Link check in DW: good

Browser: good

Ease of switching: hard (how to automate)

Absolute link

Design veiw in DW: broken (grey w / broken icon)

Link check in DW: external (i.e., unverifiable, + file might appear orphaned)

Ease of switching: n/a... not a real option

Thank you!

Think of your site definition is set up wrong.  public_html should not be to anywhere in your local site.  It is up to your remote site under the directory root definition.  See screenshot.  In my example, the root directory of the server is htdocs /.  This is where you put public_html

  • Overview of browser does not display is not the correct path for root relative links (xampp)

    I just changed the links in the navigation bar of a site root relative links-related links.

    for example

    / shopping/Core-Skills-Training.

    I have a remote control and test server (xampp) set up and everything worked until I changed it. But the links are now displayed like this

    http://localhost/courses/core-skills-training/

    they should be

    http://localhost/testing/courses/core-skills-training/

    (I have several folders for different sites in the htdocs xampp.)

    I guess I just need to change a line or an option somewhere that it works, but don't know what.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ben

    Here are my parameters to the test server.

    Capture.PNG

    Well Yes.  It's the behaviour expected of a local test server.  The reason is that the / drills all the way up to your hard drive instead of the site xampp folder.  If you publish your remote site, your root relative links will work as it should.  Just trust your code.

  • How to make the top sites page appears when I open a new tab? Why have I not of "buttons" to pin a top site of the page tab?

    When I open a new tab, NO best sites don't show up... shows just a search engine box. I have Firefox 33.0. Why is there no 'pin' button when I opened a new page? How to make the top sites page appears when I open a new tab?

    Here is some additional information on the configuration of the new tab page:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Some traps:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on the addons page:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons > in the left column click on Extensions

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is leads to: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    A little luck?
